I’ve been pretty lazy lately and have not updated as much as I should. There are a bunch of new pictures in the gallery. (edit: The gallery feature is no longer supported by WordPress so it has been removed :(. )

At Archer’s last checkup (4 weeks) he was getting ready to pass the 11 pound mark. That means he gained OVER 2 OUNCES A DAY from week 2 to week 4. It’s looking like he’s going to be big fella!

Christmas was great but it wore us all completely out. Traveling with just a dog took a while to get used to but now it takes some real planning just to go away for the weekend. I think we packed about 90% of Archer’s stuff for his first trip to see his grandparents. It’s getting better but we still end up taking about twice as much as we need. And now, no matter how early we start to get ready to go, we are always at least fifteen minutes late. Why is that?

We had our first real smile about two weeks ago and now he is really starting to pour them on. The first few were kinda faint and far between but now if you catch him in the right mood you get a big smile and a coo :).
