Wahoo! Back home again. And this time, it’s for a while. 
Henry learned lots of new tricks while I was gone. He can stand up from a squatting position really well now. And whenever he sees Maggie or James, he always shouts out “DAH!” I love that dog is his first word!
Getting out of Connecticut was a bit of a hassle. It snowed 6 – 7 inches overnight from Thursday to Friday. I was so nervous that my flight would be canceled, but you New Englanders know how to rock it. Only a slight delay…
It went from this on Thursday afternoon:
To this on Friday morning! Whew.
Luckily, I rented a bigger, sturdier car this morning. The two-hour trek to the airport was only slightly terrifying. 
It was good to be home. Nice and sunny and – date I say it – even a little warm.
Breakfast time with Henry!
Pancakes with brown rice syrup, coconut, and blueberries.
This was Henry’s first time tasting pancakes – they were a hit. Of course, in lieu of syrup, his pancakes were dipped in pureed peas. Not what I would want as an adult, but he seemed to like the combo.
And then I ran sunny 3.0 miles.
It was a good morning all around. How’s your Saturday? Any fitness goals? I’d sure like to squeeze in a swim and a bike this weekend, too.

Good call on an Illinois car for the snow trek!
I have 9 miles on my training plan but I’m nursing a sore foot so I’m debating what to do- I’ll ether give it a try (it’s a beautiful almost-spring day here) or hop on the bike for some cross training.
Pancakes and peas so like a very interesting combination, seems like Henry will be a very adventurous eater
Glad you were able to make it home! I’m training for my first 1/2 marathon and just knocked out a new personal distance of 8 miles – WHEW!
I would LOVE to go for a run today but we’re being hit with a huge snow storm, possibly up to 2 feet. Yeah, so running ain’t gonna happen for me this weekend
I think it’s really cute that Henry’s first word is “dog” too…that’s not a common one so he’s already proving how special he is!
What a great day already! It’s a beautiful day over here too but I’ll be working all day.
Hi Caitlin. Love your blog! I was trying to find the post you did a few months back about sleep training Henry. I had a baby a month ago and wanted to start thinking about how to train her to sleep through the night–even though I know it will be awhile until that will happen!!! Can you send me a link to that post? Thanks so much for all the inspiration and honest advice you provide!!
Good luck! http://www.healthytippingpoint.com/2012/12/adventures-in-baby-sleep-training.html
I just finished an hour and a half on the trainer because I’m recovering from an injury so no long run for me today.
Your breakfast looks absolutely scrumptious! I wish that meal was on my plate right now.
Aww baby pancakes! Such a cute idea. He’ll grow up loving peas and pancakes! PS- You’re lucky you didn’t get stuck in the storm! Good thing you got a good car!
I love that you topped his pancakes in pureed peas and he liked it! Glad you made it home safe, that is a crazy weather change.
My morning run was not that good, I think the problem was in previous hedache, not enough water and being dressed too warm. I finished 3,5 km (third run of the season) but I suffered
I’ve got a half marathon on the schedule for tomorrow. Final race in the local YMCA Polar Bear Series! I went to spin class this morning for my daily workout.
It was a gorgeous day out today (43 degrees!) and tomorrow is supposed to be in the mid-50s, perfect running weather in my opinion.
I love to see the sun after a snow storm!!!
And the pancakes look absolutely scrumptious!
Pancakes. Jealous. Maybe while I’m home this coming week I’ll suggest pancakes for dinner one night…
It was drizzly and icky all day today, but no snow, thankfully! I was sitting pretty much all day, and I’ll be sitting at least all of tomorrow morning.
Friendly reminder of Daylight Savings Time tonight…
I’m torn! While I’m glad that the weather has been nice lately, I’m a bit bummed that I didn’t seen ANY snow this year. Not even close. But I guess I can’t complain about the lack of rain in a normally rainy area!
I love the pancake and peas combo! I find the pancake to be a really good vehicle for a lot of healthy foods for babies. I sneak kale into the batter when making it in the food processor, so we eat “green” pancakes that don’t really taste any different in my opinion! I will also slather them in tahini or nut butter, or even a veggie puree like you did. I like to make big batches and freeze them as they are great to thaw and cut into strips for snacks for Tyson.
Haha, we always put apple sauce or mashed banana, or other fruit, on our son’s pancakes, too. He’s 11 months now. We also do peanut butter (we gave him nut butters at 9 months).
