Butterfield Acres

Today my mom and I took Logan to Butterfield Acres. Logan was so excited to go to a "farm". He ran from pen to pen looking at all the animals.

The first pen we went in were the goats. The goats came running up to us and I expected Logan to bolt and start crying. But, he didn't mind the goats. He actually even gave one a hug.

He was petrified of the chickens (the only pen he cried in). This was the closest he'd get to the chickens on his own terms.

He was pretty timid of the sheep, his favorite sheep was the one who had crawled inside the food bin and got stuck.

He did LOVE the bunnies and the baby chicks.

He wanted nothing to do with either the cows or the horses.

He did get a little antsy at times and said "LoLo scared!" and would stand by the gates wanting out... but overall I'd say he did fairly well.

One of Logan's favorite things of the day was this Big Ol' green tractor. He loved to "drive it".

At the end Logan went on a pony ride. I was worried he would be freaked out about the horse ride, but it went much better than expected!

4 Months

Today Katie is 4 months old! At her check up on Wednesday she weighed around 15 pounds. She is in the 75th percentile for both her weight and height. She would be very proportionate if it weren't for her large head. Apparently Katie's head is GIGANTIC. Even though the doctor agreed it didn't appear large just by looking at her. But she measured several times and Katie's head is well above the 99th percentile. Her head is getting bigger and bigger (in relation to the rest of her body) everytime we see the family doctor. Dr. Reynolds wasn't too concerned, but wants to be thorough, and is sending us to see a pediatrician... just to be on the safe side. Other than the size of her noggen, Katie is doing great! She is very content most days. She likes to coo and is getting better at holding her head sturdy. She has only giggled for me once, and has yet to roll over... but that will all come. Logan still pretty much ignores her for the most part (besides the random times he decided to try and feed her something - like m&m's).

Our New House!

As you may have guessed from the title of this post, we bought a new house!! We looked at it last week, put our offer in last night, and get possession December 11th, 2009!!

Our new house is still located in Glenbrook. It's actually just a block away from our current place, and two houses down from Uncle Jeff and Auntie Laura. It is a four level split with three bedrooms and two full baths. It has an office, laundry room, fireplace and walk out third floor. (The fourth level is completely undeveloped). At the moment the entire house is in very rough shape. It desperately needs new paint and flooring (as you can tell from the pictures below).

There's a saying that goes "Home is the place where it feels right to walk around without shoes"... well, its not home yet. But hopefully with a little hard work this will be the place where Logan and Katie grow up.
