A Great Day at Home!

Since Logan's daycare provider had to take the day off today, I took a holiday as well to spend the day with him, it was a great day.

We started the day off by sleeping in....well ok, some of you may not think that 7:20am is sleeping in, but for us, these days, that most definitely is! Logan and I got up and played in the basement for a while then I made us pancakes for breakfast...mmm. Logan can definitely pack away the pancakes!

Playing before breakfast.

After breakfast we went upstairs so I could have a shower...this was quite an adventure. Before I went back to work I used to shower all the time when Logan was awake. I would just leave the bathroom door open, close the gate at the top of the stairs and he would play in his room. Since I've been back to work, I shower before I get him out of bed in the morning. So today he was obviously already up, so I did the usual and he played in the bathroom. He threw things into the bathtub, he hid behind the shower curtain (both himself and the floor were getting quite wet!). Well, when I was turned around with my back to him washing my face, I heard some grunting and then a big thud. When I turned around I found my small man IN the bathtub, happy as can be! How he got in there? I can't be sure...obviously he climbed in some how. So I finished my shower and then we both got out and took off his soaking wet sleeper and diaper...that was one heavy diaper. I might have to start taking a different approach to showering.

Once we were ready to go, we headed out to Babies R Us to pick up a shower gift for a baby shower I have next weekend. We also browsed through Toys R Us and played with lots of the toys.

We came home, had lunch and then both of us took a nap...so relaxing. Oh yeah! When we were heading upstairs for lunch, Logan was pushing his car around the basement. I said "Come on Logan it's lunch time" and headed for the stairs myself. He stepped away from his car and took a bunch of steps ON HIS OWN towards the stairs! YEAH! This is so exciting. Scott and I have really been encouraging him to walk on his own lately and it seems to be working now. He seems very much able to walk just nervous to do it. Hopefully with some more encouragement we'll have a full-time walker (or runner) on our hands!

After Logan's nap we spent the rest of the afternoon just playing in the basement.

Riding his car backwards.

Trying to pull the animals out of the top of the silo. No matter how much I try to show him he can get them from the bottom, he repeatedly reaches in through the top, it's funny to watch.

I thought this picture was cute.

Snuggling with a bear while hanging out in the toy box.

We eventually headed upstairs to finish getting dinner ready. After dinner, Logan played with daddy before heading to bed. We had a great day!

This is Logan's infant carseat. It's been in the living room for a couple weeks since I used it when Logan was recovering from being sick so we could take a cab to daycare a couple times. He just barely fits in it still. He sure does look huge in it compared to when we brought him home from the hospital!

He was SO tiny!

Tomorrow it's back to work and daycare and then the weekend again! Wohoo!
