5 Months

What a month its been! Logan is growing by leaps and bounds. He is still one chunky monkey (I havent had him weighed since his four month shots... but if I had to guess I would say he is rapidly approaching the 20 pound mark.) This month he also giggled for the first time (Auntie Laura was playing peekaboo with him). He also learned to roll from his back to his tummy and vice versa. (Although he is MUCH better at rolling from his tummy to his back... I think that might have something to do with his hatred for laying on his tummy). He is quite the little character!!

Oops!

On Monday Robyn was in a car accident up in Edmonton. She, Megan and their friend Jordyn were the third car in line to turn left into the safeway parking lot. A man drove up behind them, but didnt start stopping in time for the icy conditions and crashed into the back of Robyn's car. This caused her to crash into the car infront of her, and that car to crash into the car infront of them. (Talk about a BIG mess!!) Robyn's car is done for... the back end is completely destroyed (in the one picture you can see her bumper is sitting in her backseat), the air bags deployed, her headlights were "smushed in" and the front grill fell off. The insurance company already had it towed to the scrap metal yard. Luckily no one was seriously injured. Robyn's hands are bruised and pretty stiff from the air bag. Something inside Megan's eye burst, so it is filled with blood and the area around the eye is bruised and cut up (all thanks to the airbag). The doctors think she will have to wear a patch and lay on her back for the next 8 days to help it drain. Again, luckily they think there is no permanent damage. I guess Robyn should start looking for a new car!!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

This week, Kristina, Cameron, Logan and I made a trip to the North Pole (aka Chinook Mall) to see Santa Claus. Logan sat on Santa's lap and told him all he wanted for Christmas. Only 12 more days!!

Winter Wonderland

This afternoon we decided to take a drive out to the acreage for the afternoon. We wanted to check on our trailer (look for leaks or uninvited "guests") and swap our bbqs (the one at home hasn't been working very well lately, and we had a super good one at the acreage.) So we drove out there just the four of us (Mark, Logan, Duke and I).

Logan Making a Snow Angel

As usual, Duke had a blast running around like crazy. He would run and run and run until he was so hot that he had to roll around in the snow to cool off. However, at some point while we were there (we're not sure when) Duke cut his paw. It was bleeding everywhere, so we had to make an emergancy stop at Uncle Bill and Auntie Wilma's house on the way home to steal an old sock from them for a make-shift bandaid.

At the end of the trip everyone was pretty exhausted. Logan and Duke slept pretty much the whole way back to Mom and Dad Wienses.

Because I'm bored...

I guess his head is just too heavy!! But he is getting better!! He can now manage to balance that big noggen of his long enough to sit up for a couple of minutes before toppling over.

Talk about a drool monster!! All that slobber usually leads to a nice, warm bath!!

4 Months

This post is a few days late seeing as how Logan was 4 months on the 21st, but I wanted to wait until yesterday, we went and got Logan's 2nd set of shots done, before I posted anything. Logan didn't handle this set of shots quite as well as the first set. He cried and cried and cried when the nurse gave him the needles. He did however settle down quite quickly afterwards, so we still can't really complain. Mark also had his flu shot done yesterday and I had my measles/mumps/rubella shot done (because apparently, even though I had it done back in 1986, I'm not immune to rubella yet!) The nurse wouldn't give Mark his mumps shot, instead he has to wait until the mass distributing later this month to get it... how inconvenient!

(Logan growing from age 1-4 months)

Logan now weighs 17.5 pounds and is on the 90th percentile for weight, height and head circumference, (so even though he's big, he's at least proportionate!) He still hasn't mastered sitting up or rolling over... but he's getting there. I haven't tried giving him any more baby food since that last video... but the nurse said he looks like he might be ready, so maybe we'll give it another try.

Lastly, I thought I would include a picture of our "new" couch. (New to us at least!) A lot of the stuff in our house came free from family or friends - however most of our free stuff comes from people Mark has moved. Here's a list of stuff Mark has gotten from moves over the past year:

• Dark Green Sectional (in picture above)
• White round couch
• Blue Recliner
• Blue Gliding Chair (kind of like a rocking chair)
• BBQ
• Computer
• FIVE TV's (of which most work)
• Filing Cabinet
• Washing Machine
• Dryer
• Upright Freezer
• Queen Size Bed
• Dresser
• Christmas Lights
• Microwave

And there's probably some stuff I'm missing. Mark and I are ALWAYS up for free stuff (provided its in decent shape.)

A Poor Man's Playpen

Logan is getting closer and closer to sitting up by himself... however, Duke is kind of hindering the learning process because everytime we try to play on the floor we get "attacked". (Duke likes to give face washes!) So... in attempt to help Logan learn to sit up, I've been sitting him in a laundry basket. This way he gets to sit without being trampled by an excited Duke and his toys can't get away from him. So far he really seems to like it and his stomach muscles are getting stronger and stronger.
