We were sick of all this snow and cold weather, so today Logan and I decided to go to the beach. We had a lovely time. We played in the sand (although it wasn't very good sand to make castles out of... it wouldnt stick together!!) played in the waves, people watched, but mainly, just basked in the sun. What a perfect day! (The only thing missing was lunch from Jack in a Box, but the closest one I know of is 3117 miles away!!)
I took Logan to see Dr. Bennion today for his 6 month check up. According to her measurements (they were different at the clinic last week, but I figured she's a doctor, she probably knows what she's doing... atleast I HOPE she knows what she's doing) Logan weighed 19 pounds and 6 ounces. (Last week he weighed 19 pounds 13 ounces.) He was on the 95th percentile for height (last week he was only on the 75th.. so someone, somewhere messed up.) She had no major concerns and was very happy with how Logan is growing and learning. (She was shocked with how strong he is!!)
Logan is now an expert at sitting up on his own (although the puppies do tend to knock him over if we're not careful.) He is reaching further and further for things that I wouldnt be totally shocked if he magically started crawling one day (although I doubt that will happen for a while.) He is eating baby food twice, sometimes three times a day now. He REALLY likes the fruits, though he does eat the veggies, meats and cereals pretty well. And Logan is quite the little chatter box... he is now a BIG fan of his daddy and will sing him praises all day long "da, da, da, da, da". He is outgrowing his car seat rapidly, so we're in the process of purchasing a new one. (Just finishing up all the research.)
Today, after his doctor's appointment, Logan and I went to Market Mall. Since the weather has been so unbelievably cold today, and is expected to be as cold, if not colder, for the next few days, we went and bought a warm winter jacket for Logan. We went to H&M and they had a really good sale on. We got a new jacket, a new hoodie, a new sweater (all three shown in the pictures above) and two white, long sleeved undershirts all for under $40!! I don't know how Mark will react to the new purchases, but I thought they were pretty cute and a great price!!
Maybe I'm just evil and sadistic, but it's fun to watch Logan play with Cheerios. He tries so, so, so hard to eat them, but he can never get them to his mouth. He hasn't quite figured it out yet. His hands are too clumsy to pick the tiny things up. So instead he just pushes them around on the tray, usually sending them flying to the ground below (where, Peeka, Boo and Duke are all smart enough to sit waiting.) Then he'll start fussing, and eventually break out into a cry, causing me to stop what I'm doing, go over there and pop another cheerio into his mouth.
Below is just a short movie I took of the game. Its not the most actioned packed... but it was hard with Logan on my lap.
Now here are our demands:Come alone. Do NOT contact the police. I dont even want to have to tell you what will happen if you fail to meet our demands..... let's just say its not pretty. As you can see, besides some minor crustage, your dogs have been treated kindly. That will not be so if any of our demands are not met.
We have taken every percaution to conceal our identities. Don't try to contact us... we will contact you with the next set of instructions.
Continuing on with the "my child is a freak" theory.... here is Logan doing what he loves most... "playing" with Grandma's front door. Logan can stare at that thing for over an hour before he starts to fuss. He loves to touch it and tries to lick it every once in a while too (see?? He really is an odd one!) So if I need a little break to make supper or get dressed, I plop him down in his excersaucer infront of it. And there is now snow for him to look at out the window as a tiny bit fell last night! 
For some strange reason, Logan thinks sneezing is HILARIOUS!! We discovered this on Sunday morning when the three of us (Mark, Logan and I) were lying in bed watching tv. Boo jumped up and started sneezing, and Logan went hysterical!! What a strange little boy!
This morning Brett came over to play while Uncle Jeff and Auntie Laura went to the passport office. It was sort of like a preview as to what I can expect my life to be like in a couple of years. It was a VERY busy morning!
Logan has got to be the noisest baby out there!! He is constantly making noise! He's either banging his toys around, giggling, farting (what can I say?? He's a boy!!) or his new "trick", SCREAMING! I don't know where he learnt it... but Logan hollars non stop! And its not because he's mad, no, tts like he's making noise just for the sake of making noise! And after yelling non stop he starts going into coughing and choking fits. What a silly, silly little boy!!
Seeing as how this is my 100th post, I thought I would end with a cute picture of Logan for fun! He was sitting on my lap yesterday and we were playing "This is the way the cowboy rides...." and he was giggling away.
