Splish Splash!

Well, Logan has officially completed two classes of swimming lessons! Tuesday he was feeling a little tired but today he was excited and put his head under water twice and his face in the water several times. He really enjoys looking at the other kids in the class and swimming with me in the lazy river. I tried to get some cute pics of him in his suit but all he wanted to do was crawl around the dirty locker room floor - unfortunatly, this is all I got! It's quite a task getting him dressed, let alone dressing myself - but it's got to get easier, right?! We'll be sure to keep everyone updated on any big swimming milestones, but I think it'll be a while. On the other hand, Jason is convinced he'll be swimming on his own by summer :)

Hangin' With the Boys!

Logan got to spend a little boy time with Jason this afternoon while I ran to the store. Sounds like they had fun but Jason said this monkey wouldn't get off Logan's back...seems like he didn't mind though!

We have a big week ahead of us since we start swimming lessons Tuesday!! Stay tuned... :)

MIZ-ZOU!

Well, Logan wanted to wish his Uncle Alex good luck since he's headed back to Columbia and starts school again Monday. He even hammed it up for the camera! Just so everyone knows, he also has an Iowa sweatshirt that he wears too. He wants everyone to know that his heart is with the Iowa Hawkeyes, but likes Mizzou second since his Uncle Alex goes there. Just setting the record straight... :)

Not One...But Two!

Well, now that Logan is 8 months old, he is finally getting teeth...yes, you heard it right, not just one tooth but two! He's been working on his bottom two teeth coming in and they are taking FOREVER to get here! I've tried getting pics of them, but it is nearly impossible, so I think we'll at least have to wait until they fully come in. Because of the teeth, Logan was a little cranky last week, but is being a real trooper this week despite the pain. He's been a lot of fun over the last several weeks - giggling and moving all over the place. He isn't even close to walking but is trying his hardest by pulling himself up and then letting go, which results in a lot of falling, but he's getting the hang of it!

Logan and Jackson!

Logan's friend Jackson came over today to play, which was fun since they are both moving around really well. Jackson just turned 1 year on Sunday and Logan has fun being around him. The boys played for a while inside and we went for a walk since it's almost 60 degrees outside! They had fun playing together and the moms had even more fun catching up with each other! :) We'll probably head out for another walk this afternoon and enjoy the weather while we can since it's supposed to be in the single digits again by next week. Bummer...when is Spring coming again!?!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year 2009 to everyone - and GO HAWKS! We were able to spend this long weekend at the Lake with both sides of our immediate family, which was lots of fun! Logan is getting more and more advanced with his crawling and cruising every day. We hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday.

Christmas Pics 2008

What a fantastic Christmas - I've finally got the pics posted! We feel so lucky to have been able to spend it with all of our family! We started out by traveling to Galena, then back to Kansas City and then to Iowa for the extended weekend. Logan did fairly well with all the traveling and seemed to be the entertainer everywhere we went! In Galena, he took along his infamous reindeer antlers and was pleasantly surprised to find out both his Grandma Jill and Great Grandma Jean had some too! He went sledding for the first time and loved it! He was able to meet new family members as well as see another cousin around his age - 4 months! He began crawling on all fours - finally! He ate more clementines, of course. He entertained us all on the piano Christmas Eve but wore himself out and couldn't even wake up to leave milk out for Santa! He got to spend lots of great time with his Aunt Dana and Uncle Brandon as well as Granny Franny and Papa D! And of course received so many books, toys and other gifts! We're off to the Lake for New Year's and will post an update in 2009! Happy New Year Everyone!!

Christmas Is Coming and We're Back in KC!

After a fantastic long weekend in Galena, we're finally back in Kansas City and ready for Logan's first Christmas. It's fun because it's kind of like we get to celebrate twice - and with both of our families! In addition to lots of other goodies from family, Santa brought Logan this awesome roadster car - he loves it!!

The weekend was great but brought along with it a lot of adventure. My parent's house lost electricity while they were gone because of the weather and Jason, Alex and my Dad had to travel back early to start a fire and keep the pipes from freezing since it was so cold - lucky them, sleeping in the 40 degree house! We've got lots of pics from the weekend but will wait until after Christmas to post them all together. We'll be in KC for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and then off to Iowa!! Happy Holiday's Everyone!!!
