Finally Some Nice Weather!

We had a great Saturday today. Since there was no rain in the forecast, we thought it would be a good day to install the new window that we bought for the bedroom that will soon become Logan's. So after breakfast, Scott gathered all his tools and Logan and I headed out to the grocery store to get out of his hair for a while.

Scott worked on the window and Logan and I got all the groceries and then headed to Zellers to cash in on some super deals that they had on some toys. When we got home Logan just wanted to be with Daddy and seeing what he was doing. So I spent a lot time just trying to keep him out of the way but allow him to watch.

Hanging out in the spare room, watching daddy.
We even followed him outside, he's Logan holding the ladder.

Putting the window in.

I decided to treat Logan to McDonald's for lunch since I thought he wouldn't be able to focus on eating at home while daddy was working. So we went out and had a happy meal and then came home for a nap...a nap that lasted for 3 hours almost! Wohoo!

By the time Logan got up from his nap, Scott was done with the window so they played together while I got supper ready. After supper we went out for a walk to check out a new playground in our neighbourhood. Logan had a great time until another family came and he got totally distracted watching them.

Crawling through a tunnel.

Coming down the slide.

Still loving to swing!

Checking out the finished window.

After our walk we came home and played for a bit until Logan went to bed. It was a fun day!

This is for Aunt Pamela...today was the first day that Logan wore this shirt....this was the best pic I could get, but it looked cute on him.

And here's the reason I couldn't get a better pic, everytime I pull out the camera, he lunges at me!

For Aunt Pamela...and anyone else in need of pictures!

So it's been a while...again...I blame it on sickness brought home from daycare, sickness brought on by babies in bellies, exhaustion from life and just being busy in general!

Here are some random pictures from the last little while...

Climbing up the stairs...

And sliding down!

Happily reading a book with daddy.

I'm not sure what is happening here, but it looks fun!

Trying out his new trike.

Trying to figure out why nothing is coming out of the can...just after I took this picture, he dropped the can and pop sprayed everywhere, Logan found it quite amusing.

Being a ham for the camera.

Standing in the toy basket to look out the window.

Logan brought these prunes to us from the kitchen last weekend...he used to eat a lot of prunes when he was a baby but he doesn't anymore. I'm not sure if he would still like them!

We had a busy weekend this weekend. Scott's cousin Jennifer and her boyfriend Darren came over for dinner on Friday night. It had been a while since we had seen them last so it was a good visit!

On Saturday we went to Mindy and Colin's so Scott could help Colin with some demo in their basement. Logan and I spent the day playing with Mindy and the girls.

Logan "helping" Hannah cook...I'm not sure she appreciated the help very much!

Bella playing on the rocking elephant! I wonder what she was thinking in this picture.

The seven of us went out to Boston Pizza for dinner...I wonder if we'll still be going out for dinner next year at this time when they have 2 more babies and we have 1....table for 10 please!

On Sunday we went to Norwich for the day. We went to church with my parents and then visited with them for the afternoon.

That's it...just a bunch of pictures...hope it satisfies you Pamela!

Hoping Spring Arrives Soon...

Although rainy, we've had decent weather this weekend and I'm seriously hoping that this will continue!

Logan had his last swimming lesson on Saturday morning. He loves swimming so much. He's now old enough to move on to the next level but we may skip a couple of sessions before signing him up again. If he starts right away, he'll have to do this class several times before he can move on due to his age.

Other than that, we didn't do much this weekend. We did manage to get out for a walk on Saturday before the rain got too heavy. Logan got to try out his rubber boots a bit more.

Walking to the backyard.

Can I keep going?

Wondering what is in the pails...

Scott was feeling so hot so Logan and I just spent some time playing together in the basement.

He loves climbing up on this stool and then standing up and sitting down over and over again. He's so proud of himself each time he stands up.

He had a bubble bath before bed. He kept trying to eat the bubbles...I guess they didn't taste too good.

Today we did much of the same...

Helping daddy with is new toy.

Hi!

That's all for today...

A Mish Mash of Things

Again, it's been about a week (or more) since I last posted...oops. Because of that, today's post will be all over the board.

Logan's walking is going really well. He walks pretty much all the time, and if he falls or trips he gets right back up to walking again rather than choosing to crawl. He crawls a lot when he's playing outside (which allows him to get SO wet and dirty) but I think it's because he's always all bundled up...it looks like it would be hard to walk so that's likely why he chooses to crawl so often.

Other than that he's working on expanding his vocabulary as well. He now "meow's" like a cat, repeats "thank you" and he says the word "bear". Ok so maybe it doesn't sound exactly like "bear" but he says it whenever he brings over his "Brown Bear, Brown Bear..." book to be read...which he loves! (Thanks Aunt Susan...I think we all have the book memorized since we read it so much!) So on top of his other words he's definitely getting quite "chatty".

Something that he's decided he likes to do is sweep. He loves to push the broom around, which is actually quite helpful. I'm on the look out for a child-sized broom, if you see one, let me know!

Mommy's little helper

The pictures that follow are a random assortment from the last little while.

Daddy encouraging bad habits like sticking out your tongue!

Drinking the cat water, just like the cats! The cats dip their paws in the water and then lick the water off, I think Logan was trying to copy them...things got VERY wet after this photo was taken...

Hi!

Today we were out and decided to buy Logan a pair of rubber boots. Even if spring might not be here REALLY soon, I'm anticipating it so I thought it was important to get boots. I love the boots we got, they're so cute! Especially on my model...

Do you like my boots?

Sitting like a big boy.

This one's a bit blurry - the boots have little ducks on them with umbrellas!

Logan is usually pretty fussy between dinner and bedtime because he's so tired from the day's events. Today he wasn't though for some reason, so we had fun playing in the basement before bedtime.

Daddy and Logan

Recently I put all Logan's baby toys away in a bin, but the bin never made it to the basement. Tonight Logan got it open and played with all his old toys again. Here he is pulling out some old treasures!

Happy on the couch

Modeling daddy's belt.

Me and my boy!

Phew, that was a lot of pictures...hope you enjoyed them all!

A Visit from Uncle Scott

My brother is home for reading week this week so he stopped by to visit Logan and I on Monday.

We had a good morning and it was fun to see Scott and Logan really interacting.

Since it was such a nice day, we bundled Logan up and took him to the park in his wagon.

He played on the swings.

And climbed up the stairs to the slide...

Where Uncle Scott helped him come down!

We spent quite a bit of time playing at the park, Logan might have wanted to stay longer but I got cold! We came home and Scott played some Guitar Hero...while Logan helped!


We had lunch with Scott and then he headed out when I put Logan down for a nap. We had a fun morning!

Fun Morning at Kidzone!

This morning we decided to take Logan to Kidzone and see how he liked it. It's a local indoor play place. We weren't sure how much would be geared to his age or skill level (considering he's still very wobbly on his feet) but we thought we'd give it a try.

We got there just after it opened and there were already quite a few families there. Logan took quite a while taking every thing in and getting used to all the noise and everything going on around him.

First we went to the ball pit. Logan sat there for about 5 minutes and just stared at everything before he got going.

He's probably wondering, what do you want me to do?

After some time in the ball pit we headed over to a small toddler area there were a few slides, a smaller ball pit and a pirate ship thing.

Going down the slide

Coming out of the pirate ship. He loved opening and closing the door.

After walking (and crawling) around the toddler area, Scott thought he'd take Logan up into the rest of the play structure. There were so many kids running through by this point, but Scott said Logan loved it.

Crawling away from daddy.

Walking through the obstacles.

Looking down from up high. I think this is where they saw me down below. Scott said one of Logan's favourite parts was hanging onto the sides and looking down.

They finished up and came down (by slide) and the three of us took a walk around. There are lots of arcade games you can play to get tickets for little prizes (kind of like Chuck E Cheese) but we didn't do any of them, Logan just watched others in awe.

He climbed onto this DDR game and started bouncing and clapping his hands, it's like he knew what to do!

We headed out shortly after that. We figured that we could get home and shovel some lunch into Logan before his nap even though he was already quite tired. He fell asleep in the car (a 5 minute ride home) and didn't wake up as we brought him into the house and took off his coat and stuff. This is very unusual for Logan who always wakes up as soon as we turn the car off. So we figured we wouldn't be able to get lunch into him and put him in his crib where he had a good nap. It was 2pm before he had lunch! It must have been a fun morning for him!

Totally passed out on the couch.
