Logan's ABC's

So, Logan's got a few ABC books that he's really starting to like. Multiple times daily he will bring one specifically to me to read. Last week I decided to see if he would repeat any of the letters. Since then we've been trying to get it on video, but to no avail. Yesterday we finally got a good one on video, but after 3 hours of "uploading", still nothing was happening. So, we recorded another one on our regular camera. The quality is not nearly as good, nor was Logan performing at his peak, but at least you can get the idea :)

Random Pictures

Here are some random pictures that don't really fit into a post by themselves.

Logan's new push toy. The other one he has isn't quite sturdy enough for him yet. Although when he becomes more balanced on his own, I'm sure he'll be pushing it all over the house.

Yeah, that's right...I'm a big boy and I know it!


His first teeth. I finally got a picture of them. He also has the bottom 2 teeth, but I don't know if I'll be able to get a good enough picture of all 4.

Finally crawling

In the middle of July, Logan finally decided to crawl on all fours. Actually, I'm quite surprised since he had the army crawl down pat. But, I'm proud of him for trying something new! Here are a couple pictures of him crawling after his Lil' People dumptruck that Jabin got him for his birthday.

4th of July

For the 4th of July, we stayed at my parents' house. We didn't do a whole lot, but it was a nice time to just relax. Logan sitting on Papa's lap playing with the remoteLogan loves to crawl through my parents' coffee tableThis is also when he was getting good at pulling himself up on furniture

Time to get back on track

Well, it's been over a month since I posted anything here! I'm going to try to get back on track. At the end of July, we went to San Diego for a few days. Stacey and Chad flew in from Minnesota along with Justin's cousin Steven coming from Texas. The first day we went down to La Jolla to meet Chad and Stacey and head on down to La Jolla cove. The next day, Justin, Chad, and Rick went fishing while Logan, Stacey, Mary, and I went shopping!!! The third day included Sea World - which is one of my favorite places. On the last day we went back down to La Jolla to the beach where Justin's cousin Jenelle and her family met us.

Family Photo - not a great one, but a passerby took it, so I guess I can't complain.

Logan's 1 year pictures

I went to JC Penney's again for Logan's 1 year pictures. The did another fabulous job. Logan hadn't had a nap in the morning so he was cranky and cried through a lot of the photos, but again, you can't tell!

This is my absolute favorite!!! It's the same as the one above it, but in Sepia tones. It's so precious.

Justin calls this "an unhealthy relationship between a boy and his duck". But, Logan always gives his duck a kiss in the bathtub, so I told him to kiss this ducky too and he obeyed!

These last 2 pictures show off his newer developments - pulling himself up and crawling on all fours (instead of his army crawl!).

First Tooth

After 12 1/2 months of life, Logan finally has a tooth! I swear he started working on teeth around 3 months. At this rate, he won't have all his baby teeth until he is 24 :) When it gets big enough to be seen in pictures, I'll post some. Lately, Logan has really taken to pulling himself up on everything and cruising the furniture. He's still not crawling on all fours, but he pushes up into that position all the time. When he wants to move, though, he goes right back down onto his belly. I can't blame him - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
