Oops

So I realized it had been a while...but not this long, sorry. If there is actually anyone out there reading anymore, I'm going to try harder again this time.

In the meantime...we're still waiting for baby to come. Hopefully any day now. Since it would be too hard to catch up on what has been going on over the last month, I'll just do it in pictures!

Cheeto took an outdoor adventure for a few days last month which brought Sigmund and Peanut very close for a few days...they have never slept so close together!

Logan entertained himself with his wipes in the car on the way home from Music Camp...he had quite a few out of the container before I realized, he thought it was great fun.

Playing in the sprinkler outside.

A picture of my poor, swollen, gross, pregnant foot. :(

Cute boy playing outside.

The BEST outdoor play toy (in Logan's opinion).

Big smile!

Scott took the ladder outside to clean the window and Logan quickly followed after him. He had to call me to come outside to help them get down. Logan is such a good little helper.

These next few pictures were taken today when we were visiting at Scott's mom and dad's house.

Logan and his cousin Joel.

Still holding Joel, although beginning to loose interest.

Our little ham!

Posing with daddy.

And again.

Scott and Joel.

Hopefully it won't take as long for the next post to come!

A Few Quick Pics

I'm heading to bed shortly, but wanted to post a few quick pictures. It's been great being off work and today Logan and I spent the whole day hanging out together, we had a good time.

I don't have much else to say...enjoy the pictures!

Impromtu Weekend Fun

We originally didn't have much planned for the weekend but ended up having a couple fun things to do. Scott was out on Friday night installing a hardwood floor at his cousin's house and we were invited to his uncle's trailer the next day. With plans to already go to Norwich on Sunday so I made a call to mom to see if it would be alright if we spent the night at their place on Saturday since the trailer is on the other side of Norwich from our place. Of course it was no problem.

Saturday, after Logan's nap, the three of us loaded into the car and headed to the trailer. It was a beautiful day (finally) and it was nice to be there. Scott's Uncle Tom and his wife Celine and an assortment of Scott's cousins were all there. We visited for a bit before everyone (except for Celine and I) headed to the dock for a boat ride.

Apparently Logan liked the boat ride, and especially liked to help Uncle Tome drive the boat.

All ready to go!

His favourite part - the steering wheel and the fish finder.

Riding with Daddy.

Helping Uncle Tom drive.

Having fun!

Arriving back at the dock.

"We're done already? But it was so fun!"

We stayed at the trailer for dinner with everyone before we headed to Norwich. Logan did great all afternoon and stayed up past his bedtime and was such a good boy. He fell asleep in the car on the way to mom and dad's but woke up a bit when we got there so he could see where he was sleeping. He even slept in the next morning, until almost 8am! That is a HUGE accomplishment, he must have been tired out from all the fun on Saturday.

We had breakfast at mom and dad's and then headed to church where mom lead the service. My grandma was also at church so Logan got to visit with her as well.

Playing in the morning.

After church, we had lunch and Logan went down for a nap. Once he got up, him and Scott and my mom went in the pool for a bit. The pool was warm enough but the air was still quite chilly. Logan had a lot of fun until we wouldn't let him go back in because he was so cold!

My mom bought this cool flotation thing for Logan to wear that was a ring with a shirt on it to keep him up. It was funny to watch Scott and my dad try to put it on him. As you can see, Logan is not very impressed.

Happily swimming!

We headed home after dinner last night. It was a great couple of days visiting with lots of family. It's so nice to take Logan out for longer periods of time and have him do so well. He's certainly growing up.

We're taking it easy today. We might head to a splash park (if it gets warm enough) and will likely do some clean up around the house. Logan and I leave for music camp next Saturday so I'll start getting ready for that too!

Summer Fun

Well it's official, I'm done work! Yesterday I worked a half day and that was it. We had a nice Swiss Chalet lunch as my send off and my colleagues gave me a couple nice gifts - one for baby and one for me. Being back at work for the last 9 months hasn't been as bad as I imagined it to be, I will miss being there at times. I definitely won't miss the crying daycare drop offs and the lack of time I get to spend with Logan. Like I said before, Logan will still go two or three days a week for the month of August but then he'll be done' I'm sure he'll miss it (we can go visit anytime) but I think he'll really like being at home with me.

Below are some random pictures from the last week.

Hi!

Really cute dimples.

An inquisitive look.

Logan helping me make dinner one night.

Eating a peach...yes a whole peach. Logan has been obessessed with apples lately and picks up any fruit resembling and apple and says "apple" and then proceeds to eat it. He can eat almost a whole apple, it's so funny to watch.

Scott picked me up at work yesterday after lunch and we headed to the hospital for our registration appointment. They gave us a bunch of information that was the same as it was 2 years ago and we headed out to get Logan from daycare. Scott dropped us off at home and then headed to Elmira to help install a floor at his cousin's house. Logan and I spent the afternoon and early evening playing at home before he went to bed.

Logan had half a popsicle leftover in the freezer so we went outside after dinner for him to finish it. I was sitting on the stairs outside our house and when I gave him the popsicle, he ran to the neighbours yard and sat there to eat it. Funny kid.

He moved a bit closer to me...

And then really close!

We then headed to the backyard where Logan wanted to go in the pool, so I took off his clothes and then he didn't want to go in after all. He wandered around the yard and picked (and ate) raspberries. He already knew how to pick them but I had to help him figure out which ones were red and ok to eat. He ate a lot of raspberries!

Picking...

And eating.

Picking and eating.

One last picture before he went to bed.

Today we're still undecided about what we're going to to but tomorrow we are heading to Norwich for church and to spend the day with my parents. Hopefully the weather holds out so we can get a swim in in their pool!

Here's to me posting more in the upcoming month....I'm hoping to!

A Bunch of Random Pictures

It's been a long time since I posted pictures so I'm just going to throw a bunch up here so you can see what has been going on. They all look fuzzy...there must be something up with the camera that I'll have to check out. Enjoy!

Logan longing to visit the splash pad at the park - we haven't been there at all this summer because there hasn't been a nice enough day yet! Hopefully soon!

Chasing a duck. Seriously he followed the duck for a long time. He must not share my fear of birds.

Getting ready for our picnic for Scott's birthday.

Happy boy.

Happy Birthday Scott!

Logan loves pulling around this little wagon at Scott's parent's house, it's just his size.

Just taking it all in...

Hopefully I'll be back with another update soon!

Really Long Time No Post

So I've neglected the blog, oops. This is likely due to several factors.

1. I've been getting increasingly tired everyday. Which means that by the time I work all day, get Logan from daycare, make dinner and spend some time with Logan, by the time he's in bed and I have some time, I'm almost in bed myself.

2. Logan's love for the camera. Taking a picture these days is tough, Logan lunges at the camera as soon as he sees it. And really, most of you read the blog to see pictures of him so without pictures it's a bit pointless.

3. We haven't been up to too much out of the ordinary, so there hasn't been much to say really.

4. We bought a new computer (YEAH!) and I haven't put any pictures on it yet so there haven't even been old pictures I could post.

However, things are changing so MAYBE I'll get back on board with posting.

I only have 5 more days of work (plus a few hours today that I have to go in for). Which means I'll get about a month at home with Logan before the new baby. Not that that means I'll have more time but I'll have different time, so maybe blogging time.

In the meantime, here are some of the exciting things that have gone on around here lately.

Logan seems to have mastered going up and down the stairs. He still needs the railing, a wall or someone's hand for support but he can do it. We have lots of stairs in our house and it's so nice to not have to lug him up and down all the time.

Logan has figured out that he can get out of his bed on his own. Maybe this is not such a great accomplishment. He still stays in bed for some time after he wakes up but then he gets out and knocks on his side of the door saying "open" until someone opens it. He has been able to open it on his own a couple of times but not regularly...yet, I'm sure that will come soon.

We seem to have mastered a tear-free daycare drop off. After 9 months of my being back at work and Logan going to daycare at least 4 days a week he seems to be ok on drop off. He has never been miserable all day but it's hard to leave him there crying. 9 months is a long adjustment period! I'm thinking he's just not cut out for daycare. He'll stay in daycare part time through August and then be home full-time with me starting in September. This will be quite a change for him and me but a very welcome one.

Logan LOVES his daddy. "Daddy" is the first word out of his mouth in the morning and we often call Scott after we have breakfast so he can talk to him. And recently, he actually has been talking and answering Scott's questions, it's cute.

The nursery seems to be back in shape to be lived in by a baby again, which is good. I pulled out the neutral newborn clothes that we have and just have to wash them to be ready. So I guess we're just about ready for baby to arrive. The goal is to be all ready before Logan and I go to camp...we'll see.

Logan and I and my mom are heading to Music Camp, the second week in August. Unfortunately, Scott has to stay home to work but we're hoping he can join us closer to the end of the week. It'll be a nice week away for us and give Logan a chance to play with lots of kids.

Ok, so maybe now you're kind of all caught up...I'm trying to figure out the picture thing on this computer...if I figure it out, I'll post with pictures today too!

Happy Canada Day!

Unfortunately we weren't able to do much today since Logan appears to have developed Roseola over the last few days. He had a fever over the weekend and the rash appeared yesterday. He seems to be in decent spirits except for a sore ear that he keeps tugging on.

Scott had to go to work today so Logan and I just hung out at home. He took a couple long naps and we went on a walk through the neighbourhood and to the park (between rain downpours).

I managed to take a few pictures when we were out this morning.

What a cute little guy walking with his bear.

Hi Mommy!

The next few pictures will illustrate why it's hard to get good shots of Logan these days.

He's pretty far away, I think it's safe to pull out the camera to get some cute shots of him in the grass.

Oh no, he caught me.

I'm coming mommy!

Closer...

And close enough! Now he's got the camera...game over, no more pictures.

He became obsessed with this grate on the way home...I guess he liked looking at all the garbage floating in the water below?

No fireworks or anything for us tonight as Logan is already long asleep. Scott has to work tomorrow and although I booked a holiday I do have to go in for a couple hours. We're both off on Friday though. We were supposed to go to the Zoo with some friends but we'll have to bail due to Logan's rash. Even if it seems to clear up I think we'll stay home, I wouldn't want to expose him to anyone else.

Happy Canada Day!
