Play Day

This morning I dropped Duke off at Petcetera to get groomed. They bathed, clipped and brushed him. He was there almost all day. He now feels so soft and smells b-e-a-U-tiful! (Just in time to get all muddy and stinky at the acreage this weekend.) This evening once Logan went to bed, Mark and I went out and threw his frisbee around on the front lawn.

Once we dropped Duke off at the groomers, Logan and I stopped at Toys R Us. We got a new toy and played with it all afternoon. Logan hasn't quite figured out how to make them pop up. But he loves to close them all. It's a race. I try to pop them all open before he gets them all closed. He's pretty quick!!

Today's Pictures

Logan had a very busy day today. He was busy learning new things and being very naughty. Today was one of the first days he pulled himself up on furniture by himself (meaning it's time to lower his crib mattress). He can pull himself up fine, but he hasnt quite figured out how to get back down. He gets really frustrated and stands there crying.

I managed to catch Logan doing the "so big" on camera today. He rarely does it, so I was super proud of him (and myself for getting the picture.)

Unfortunately, Logan found the toilet today. He is in love with it. I dread the day he actually figures out that there is water in it and starts flushing things down.

Logan also discovered that he can shove things other than his tiny little fingers into the VCR. I spent the majority of the afternoon pulling him away from the VCR. He just doesnt understand the word "no", and if he does, he blantingly ignores me time after time.

We went to Mom and Dad Wiens's house for dinner tonight. Karen and her boys were there as well. It was so cute to see Logan and Graham interact.

Houston we have a PROBLEM!

Duke's favorite toy is a pink squeeky ball. Duke absolutely LOVES this ball. One quick little squeek and he comes running. Recently Logan has become a huge fan of this ball too. He loves to play with it. First he gets so excited and shakes the ball and then attempts to throw it (it never goes very far.) The problem is, neither Duke or Logan are very good at sharing. When one has the ball, guaranteed the other is trying to steal it from him. It used to be that Duke always won, but now that Logan can motor around Duke is no longer safe. However, Logan gets much more upset than Duke does when he loses the ball. He cries and cries (usually a big fake cry to get Duke in trouble). And half the time I think Logan asks for it... he teases Duke with the ball until Duke cant take it anymore and just steals it out of Logan's hands.

(I swear I dress Logan in other clothes. He doesnt always wear this brown tshirt... it just so happens that he's been wearing it on the only days I pull out my camera).

Ten Months

This past month has been HUGE for Logan. He has learnt so much in such a short time. He can now sit up on his own, he can wave bye-bye, he can give kisses, stick out his tongue on command (Mark's favorite "trick") and last but not least, CRAWL! Crawling just started this week. He now motors around the house. Poor Duke is no longer safe - there's no escaping the Logan Monster.

To go with his new big boy attitude, Logan needed the big boy look. This morning I took him to get his first hair cut. He did so good!! He sat very happily in the chair while the hairdresser cut his hair. He didnt mind the scissors or the razor even. He just played with the steering wheel attached to the seat and watched Blue's Clues. (Logan is quite obsessed with the TV nowadays. His favorite is The Big Comfy Couch - he just loves Lunette!) He got quite a bit of hair cut off. He no longer looks like my little baby - he's getting to be such a big boy!!

Below is a video of Logan crawling around the living room floor. Here he is going after Duke's ball - he loves balls and keys - oh, and the VCR (he just wont leave it alone! He's always sticking his hands in the video slot.)

Baptism Pictures

Hawaii - Day 8 - Sunshine!

Mom took some pictures on her and Logan's walk this morning. Every morning they walk down Kalakaua along the beach, around the zoo, past Diamond Head and back on Kuhio. They also stop every morning to feed the birdies. This morning was the ducks' turn.

Yet another morning at the beach. While Logan was napping back at the hotel with me, mom and Robyn went paddling on an outrigger. They went for a 45 minute ride, just them two and three of the instructors.

This time we took Logan's airplane along with us rather than his kiddie pool. He was having a blast floating in the ocean until he got a mouth full of salt water from a passing wave... then he went into a hissy fit.

He was rather cranky today, so we didnt stay at the beach long. Instead we headed back to the hotel and sat up by the pool. Again, Logan was hard to keep entertained, so I resorted to rough-housing - which he always loves.

After dinner (back to PF Changs) we walked through the International Market (yet again). One thing we have learnt is to not stay in one place for too long. If we linger it gives all the little asian ladies time to swarm Logan giving him kisses, pinching his chubby little arms and one lady even went as far today as to bite his feet!!

Logan has learnt a new trick today. When I went to grab him from his crib after his nap he was sitting up waiting for me. He can finally sit up on his own. He has done it atleast 5 more times today. Yay!!!

Hawaii - Day 7 - Routine

Today was another typical day here in Waikiki. After mom and Logan's walk and we all had breakfast, mom and Robyn headed down to the beach while Logan napped. There is practically NO ONE at the beach as early as they are. Once Logan woke up, we joined them at the beach until lunch time. Logan had a blast playing in the sand and then swimming in the ocean.

After a bite to eat at Burger King we headed up to the pool. Logan and I saw for about half an hour, and then mom took him down to the room for his afternoon nap. Robyn and I stayed up on the roof and read around the pool.

(The view from the pool - Robyn was playing with the color settings on her camera)

Hawaii - Day 6 - Crab!

Logan slept in until about 7am this morning. He and mom then went for a long walk, we had breakfast in the room and then mom and Robyn headed off to the beach while Logan napped in the room. I waited for him to nap for 2 good hours. Logan woke up nice and happy, so we headed off to the beach as well.

Tonight we went to the Oceanarium in the Pacific Beach Hotel for a king crab buffet. We were lucky enough to get a table right along the aquarium. The food was amazing and it is always fun to watch them feed all the different fish.

We had hoped Logan would be entertained by all of the fish and the diver feeding them - however, he was more entertained by the little asian girl sitting at the next table over. He was enamoured with her.

Robyn, mom and I were more entertained by the skinny, blonde chick sitting next to us. She had plate, after plate FULL of crab legs. We were shocked by how much crab she ate, but even more at the speed she ate them. She devoured those things! (and made a DISASTER while doing so!) After like 4 plates of crab, she returned to the buffet for dessert (a plate full of chocolate fondue - which she also ate very messily) and then after that, MORE CRAB!! Needless to say, we couldn't keep out eyes off of her.

(I love hoe her boyfriend totally knows we're only pretending to take Logan's picture and are really snapping their photo! hahahaha way to be conspicuous mom!!)

Hawaii - Day 5 - Sand Monster

Today was a normal beach day. We woke up early (courtesy of Mr. Logan), were at the beach by 8:30, then sat at the pool in the afternoon. Logan discovered sand for the first time today - he loved to play with it - and even tried eating it several times.

This time we were very careful not to burn. I slathered on a lot of sunscreen with a much higher SPF, sat in the shade and wore a tshirt the entire time we were at the beach. Logan HATES it when we slather him up with sunscreen.

Tonight we went to Duke's for dinner. We celebrated Robyn's 20th birthday (which was on Wednesday, but we were traveling that day.) We then walked through the International Market Place and down Kalakua to watch all the street performers again.
