Fun at the Zoo

We took Logan to the zoo today. I've been wanting to go to the zoo for quite some time. I've always enjoyed the zoo, but today was even better. I guess it's because we had someone to share it with. I've never been with a kid before. It was so much fun showing Logan all the animals. He didn't pay all that much attention to the animals (he was more interested in the other kids running around), but there were a few "ooohs", "aahs", and other baby babble when Logan saw animals. He was just so much fun to watch and it just showed Sam and me a different perspective on the zoo. This is something I hope we can do more often as a family. Here are some pics of our zoo experience.

Birthday Bash

Okay, so this party was actually last week, but our camera broke. Unfortunately it broke during the party so we didn't get as many pictures as we would have liked to.

So, last Saturday (August 23) was Sam's mom's birthday party. Technically her birthday isn't until the 3rd of September, but it's never too early for a party! She is turning 60 so we had to celebrate...no excuses.

The day started off with Sam and Logan heading up to his parents house to help decorate for the party while his mom, her friend Kathy, and I went to get massages. Ah, that was great! (note to self, must do that more often.) At 5, the party started. There was lots of amazing food and fun games to play. Logan had fun being with his aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, and friends. He has become a real people person which I think is great. Anyway, the party was a success. We all had fun. Here are just a couple of pictures we were able to take before the camera broke. (it broke fairly early on in the party...oh well.)

Latest on Logan

Lately, Logan has found a new favorite position to sleep. I know we aren't supposed to let them have blankets, but Logan will NOT sleep without his. We've even tried taking it away from him later, but he wakes up screaming. So we caved in and we let him sleep with it. It's the only way for us to get some sleep around here. He's been waking up more frequently lately. We are still trying to figure out if it's because he needs more food during the day, or if it's teething pain.



As for teething, he now has his 2 bottom front teeth and more are on their way. The 2 top front are making their way as well as more bottom teeth. I'm anxious for this to be over with. Logan has been real crabby lately...I miss my sweet boy.

One more thing about Logan...today he was able to stand on his own as long as he was holding on to something (ie, the couch, our knees, or whatever). We were very excited about this, but soon realized that this means he'll be walking in a few months. Aagh!

Looks like Logan is just like his dad. He loves electronics and music.
Oh, and don't worry, we aren't horrible parents. Sam was right behind Logan, you just can't see him in the picture.
