The things I didn't know he could do

1. Flush the toilet. After he figured this one out he did it about 25 more times.

2. Stand up and open the cabinets.

3. Unroll the toilet paper.

The Great Outdoors

Logan would love to spend every moment of his life outdoors. He inherited this trait from his daddy. He loves to stand in the doorway and look outside. And he LOVES when his daddy is outside working. Every time Greg passes by the door he squeals and gives this amazed look.

Here he is trying to escape to the Great Outdoors!

Happy Spring!

Today is the first day of Spring!! It is the coldest day this week. This is because we live in Missouri! We've had great weather all week in the 60s-70s. We've enjoyed playing outside.

On Tuesday, we went to Suson Park with Jessica Arnold and her kids. It was really crowded but nice. Logan and Caleb got to swing together.

We also went and checked out the animals at Suson park. Usually Logan is really into the animals. But he was tired from all of his playtime, I think. He crashed as soon as we got in the car.

On Tuesday night, we worked in the garden with Daddy!

On Wednesday, Logan and I went to Mastadon State Park which is right down the road from us. It wasn't crowded at all, so Logan got to swing for about 45 minutes.

On Thursday, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Bradley's and played with Nick. Logan and Nick played on the swingset in the afternoon, went to the creek, and then we all went for a walk in their neighborhood.

We've had a fun week, but I am so behind on laundry, etc. This nice weather is just too tempting!!

My busy boy

Logan is 10 months old! Wow, I can't believe it. He is a busy boy. He's into everything now... eating food of the floor, trying to work the DVD player, unrolling paper towels... He's going to keep me on my toes. Here are a few pictures of other things that are keeping him busy these days.

Reading books.

Playing with Nick.

Pulling up to everything and trying to climb everything.

Eating. Always one of Logan's favorite things to do.

And of course, unrolling mom's paper towels and then eating those too....

Look who's talking...

So, Logan "talks" all the time now. It sounds like some weird foreign language. He gets super excited when Greg and I will take the time to sit and listen to him. He points all around the room and gets louder and louder and louder. Oh yes, the kid can talk. Sometimes random words in English pop out of him mouth and sometimes it just fits into the conversation.

Like last night, I was telling Greg about Logan wanting me to sing Twinkle, twinkle little star. (I taught Logan actions to the song so now he does them and sings -- not to any tune--"ah, ah, ah, ah,ah, UH" Those are the words to all songs in Logan's world by the way. )
So our conversation went like this:
Me: So apparently, This (hand motion for Twinkle, twinkle) followed by Ma-MA. Now means 'I want YOU to sing Twinkle, Twinkle. He did it all through Walmart until I had to sing the song in Walmart and then he was quiet. But he just kept doing it...
Logan: All Day
Greg and I just sat there in shock for a minute. It was SO weird.

He also likes to copy what we say since he can't really talk yet. Greg will say, "AH-AH-AH-CHO" and Logan will say, "AH-AH-AH- and then blow with his lips"

The other word in his vocabulary (the only useable one) is "bye, bye". It's more like, "Ba-Ba". My mom swears he said, "Bye, Bye, Grandma" but those Grandma's have funny ears. They hear what they want to hear :)
