11 months

11 Months - When your baby isn't a baby but you still treat him like he is a baby.  We are in that phase right now.  Logan is doing all these thinks that I think he shouldn't be doing because he is a baby.  But really he is right on track with where he needs to be.  I am the one that is holding him back.  Shoots.

Well this kiddo is officially a busy body.  He has to check out everything and hold everything.  He wants to be where the action is.  He wants to be where mom is.  He is climbing stairs.  He is opening cupboards and removing everything that is in them.  He is vacuuming the floors (with his mouth).

  He is checking out things that are plugged into electrical sockets.  He wants to do everything his big brother is doing.  He is saying a few words - ma ma, da da, ball, br (i'm assuming this is brother).  He is eating big people food and LOVING LOVING LOVING fruit.  He is napping a couple times a day and sleeping from 6-6:30 to 7-7:30.  At least I think.  He may wake up earlier and just be content in his bed for a while.  Either way it is nice.

He will drop his binky into his bed after naps and sleeping at night.  I tries to brush his teeth like James. He is back to using the potty again.  He tinkles pretty much any time I put him on it.

He loves the tub and all things water.  He loves the pool and I think he really really wants to swim by himself.

He has started giving us kisses and hugs and they are oh so sweet.  Maybe he was doing this last month too but they are even sweeter now.

He is happy as can be when I am around.  He is so so sad when I leave.

I seriously can't believe that he is going to be one.  This is really hard for me.

Beach Bums

I think if we had the time and money we could/would become professional beach bums.  We just LOVE the beach.

We headed down to Florida last month to what I like to call "PARADISE".  Seriously I was so loving it.  We stayed at Seacrest Beach - white sands, blue water, sun, breeze, beautyness to the MAX.

We were able to rent a house for the week - it is called "Lazy Days" - James called it "The Water House."  I have no idea where it came from.

We were able to have Nana and Steffers join us.  Which we LOVED.  AND I was also able to see a dear friend from Ohio who now lives in "Paradise" - I'm a little jealous.  AND of course I didn't take any photos to document.  I'm bad like that most days.

We rented bikes and rode all over, we walked, we got yogurt, we watched movies, we grilled, we burned, we laughed, some of us cried, we had a great time.

Without further ado - the pictures.  I took too many and not enough all at the same time.  How does that happen?

James in the bunk bed - he thought this was the COOLEST thing EVER

Yup - that is me being supermom - PARTY in the front and PARTY in the back.  :)

Dad and Logan - these two LOVE the water

Mom and Logan - I'm the party pooper who didn't get in the pool.  *too cold for my hive prone skin*

This was a fun little beach toy - Nana is showing James how it works.

Don't you want to just kiss those cheeks?  I'm the lucky one who gets to everyday.

The big race between James and Stef

James pooped out from the big race - or determining if the sand in comfortable enough to sleep on.

Ponderings on the beach

Yep - the sand is comfortable enough to sleep on

Us and our bikes and my trendy HAT - I wonder why no one else wants to wear it.

10 Months

Logan has had a big milestone month.

He is crawling.

He is climbing.

He is waving.

He is getting his two bottom teeth.

It has been a super busy month for him.


He is learning to give kisses.
He wants to eat what we are eating.
He loves his big brother for the most part and gets super excited to see him in the mornings and after his naps.
He takes two naps a day.

He loves to be outside.
He loves his daddy and it seems like dad is in the running for the favorite parent.

He plays really well by himself - something his brother still struggles with.

He has a big sweet smile and is always flirting with the ladies.

He gets called a girl a lot even while wearing boy clothes.
Logan is still a little kicker - his legs are nearly always in motion.

 I think he is so kissable and he pretty much gets a billion kisses a day from me.  Add in Dad and James and his little face is well loved.
He gives great little hugs and sometimes will pat you on the back with the hug.

He always want to play with whatever James is playing with.  This is hard for James and consequently hard for Logan.
He goes to bed around 6:30 and wakes up around 6:30 but stays in bed until 7 or 7:30.

first taste of sand

He only gets his binky when he is in bed and sometimes at Church - He always seems to get loud at church.

He sleeps with 2 binkys and his rabbit.

He is just the sweetest little man ever.  We are loving him right up.
