Logan and the Shrinking Monkey - 8 months to 9 months and some days

oh little man. how far you have come in the last two months. i am so sorry we missed your eight month picture. we will chalk it up to technical difficulties. you have begun furniture walking, crawling and so much more. you spout little chatters of ma ma, da da, mummmmmm, dat, ayaaaaah and a lot of grunts when you want something. you love yogurt, graham crackers, cheerios and that is about it. we are really struggling with the eating of solids. you and your brother are just going to be picky eaters. you don't care to much for your baby toys. You just want to dig in and play trains and cars with your big bro. i can't blame you, he is one cool dude. your big noggin often gets in the way of things that you are doing but don't worry you will be able to control it better someday. i promise. frustration hits you when you can't get up fast enough or when your brother takes off to another room and you realize that you can't keep up. this will come with time to. i promise you someday you will be able to keep up with him. we have a theory that you will be a pitcher someday. You are constantly throwing balls or your plastic blocks. you love to snuggle and give hugs and prefer to be held most of the day. yes i love you too, my back however is not sure if it can keep up with this current trend. you cut your two bottom front teeth but so far nothing else. i sure hope some more come in soon. we love you so much monkey roo. take everything in stride. you will do things in your own time and that is what makes you who you are and so darn special to me, daddy and brother. go logey roo!

a budding companionship

these two are becoming quite the little buddies. brady often puts a ball in his mouth and runs around the house playing fetch with harley. all the way down to me throwing the ball for both of them. they both retrieve and bring back to me. i am so glad we got harley. he and brady make the perfect pair. neither one of them ever want to sit down.

little blue eyes

little may not be the correct word. i melt every time i look into these most amazing blue eyes. love you logey roo!

napping in the car today

That's right people. My camera is finally ready, can hardly stand it. On the way out the door right now.......

Stay tuned for some cute pics of the boys......

update on the smith homefront

AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH! No news on my camera. I am beginning to wonder if it even still exists? Logan will be ten months by the time I get it and I will have no pics. Frustrating! Anyway, the Smith house officially has a member who caught a little of that piggy virus going around. He will be okay, just needs time to recover. Poor B. Smith. A little bit of advice to all of you out there courtesy of the staff at Swedish. Use lots of hand sanitizer and Lysol. I sprayed our whole house down last night and bought sanitizer for every floor of our home. B. Smith is quarantined in the basement. So far the boys and I are escaping that crazy little bug..... Hopefully this will continue.

We are trying to enjoy the last little bit of decent weather this season. Brady is out mowing and weed whacking without daddy. If his mower only worked we might have a completely mowed back yard. Logan is enjoying his last month in the exersaucer and a couple big bumps on his noggin from falling. He is furniture walking and thinks he is as good as Brady. He turns and tries to grab on to stuff, well that is just not there. Soon little man you too will be up and running like your bro. Yesterday he crawled for the first time on his hands and knees. Yes he has been pulling himself around on his belly, but this was an honest to goodness hands and knees forward motion. His little top toothers, well they are trying like the dickens to poke through. Wish they would soon so we all could get a little more rest..... oh yes, rest , what is that?

Brady's new favorite book selection is Corduroy. I am so happy it is one of my favorite child hood books.
