Happy Thanksgiving from Logan!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We're visiting at Grandma Jill and Grandpa Ron's house this entire week, which has been really fun and special for Logan to spend so much time with his grandparents. He's tried many new foods and has found a new love for Clementine tangerines, which we have a fantastic video of and will post after the weekend. It's been a special week and we hope everyone has had a great day. More later...

Logan Loves Cabela's

Jason has been getting ready for his big weekend of deer hunting so we ran out to Cabela's to grab a couple things the other day. While we were out there, Logan loved all the animals and would have stared at the ducks and fish for hours! After getting home, Logan was infatuated with the bright orange hat, resulting in this hilarious picture. :)

He Hasn't Flown Away Yet...

This is a quick clip of Logan in his Jumperoo. While it's a tamed down version, it gives you an idea of how crazy he gets when he flaps his arms and gets so excited!!!

6 Month Check Up!

Logan had his 6 month appointment today and we were told he looks totally happy and healthy! He currently weighs in at 16.75 lbs (26th percentile) and is 25.5 inches long (16th percentile). He had to get his immunization shots again, but was a tough guy and didn't cry much at all - we were all shocked! We also got the okay to keep exploring more and more foods, so I think we might try some chicken soon - fun, fun!

Go Tigers!

Jason and I headed to Columbia to spend the weekend with my parents and brother at a Mizzou football game. We had a great time as a family together and had excellent food at the tailgate, thanks to Ron Dog and Jill (also known as Martha Stewart to the random hungry college boys)!

Logan stayed home with Jason's parents and seemed to do pretty well despite his first cold :( He seems to be feeling better and getting lots of rest. Thank goodness he didn't start crawling on all fours while we were gone, but let me tell you...he is well on his way!

A Life Changing Moment in History

How proud I am to live in a country where truly anything is possible. I can not wait for Logan to grow older to be able to share the history of Barack Obama becoming the first African American president of the United States - and the best part, to hear the surprise and confusion in his voice because he'll never have known anything different.

Despite the fact we are a house divided, the evening of Nov. 4th was a good one. Mostly because my guy won, but don't worry -- I made brownies for Jason so he could drown his sorrows in chocolate! :) But honestly, I'm so happy about this victory and couldn't be more thrilled and hopeful about what is to come in the future of our country. Until next time...

Rock the Vote!

We went as a family early this morning to excercise our right to VOTE! We packed granola bars, water and lots of toys for Logan to play with as we were expecting the lines to be really long. To our surprise upon our arrival, there were four cars in the parking lot! We got in and out quickly and Logan even got an "I Voted!" sticker! It's a good day as we wait in anticipation for the results of todays election as a house divided :)

We're Never Leaving You Again!

Jason and I got a nice Sunday afternoon off this weekend and were able to go to the Chief's game with some friends while Logan stayed at Aunt Carla and Uncle Dennis's house for a while. We had a blast and while it sounds like Logan was a little off his schedule due to day light savings, he had a great time too.

Last time we left him overnight with Granny Frany and Papa D while attending a wedding, he began inching across the floor -- this time when we came to pick him up, he was on all fours rocking back and forth. So, I say...I'm never leaving him again! Yeah, I say that and this upcoming weekend Granny Frany and Papa D are babysitting again ... he better not be crawling when we get home! :)

Happy Halloween!

Well, Logan's first Halloween was a hit! He was a busy boy and exhausted by bedtime. Early in the afternoon, he had a Halloween party and went dressed as a puppy. Unfortunatly, I don't have any pics of that but am hoping to get some from friends soon. He had a great time and enjoyed seeing other little ones his size - I was relieved to see other parents torture their children by dressing them up in ridiculous Halloween costumes just because they are too cute as well!

When Jason got home Logan was happily waiting to go trick or treating in his pumpkin costume. We were so excited because the costume was so warm and cuddly -- we weren't expecting it to be 70 degrees, but Logan was a trooper considering how warm it was! We walked around the neighborhood and then visited a couple of friends while Uncle Justin handed out candy at our house on the porch. When we got home, Logan fought it and wanted to help hand out candy to the other trick or treaters but was just too exhausted and had to hit the hay. Overall, the night was a hit and Logan had a blast. The cutest part was how smiley he was all night; several people commented on how happy he seemed. I think he was just having too much fun not to smile!
