The count down begins. Logan will turn 1 in 11 days. I have been busy planning and get ready for the day. I think I have everything planned and ready to go, just need to clean the house.
Logan and I started swim lessons today (April 1st). We had a good time in the water. Logan likes the water, he cried only once when we first got into the water it was colder than I thought it would be for a heated pool. We worked on splashing, blowing bubbles, putting our nose in the water, front & back float. He looks so cute in his swim trunks. Here are some pictures of our first swim class.






Logan is getting better at walking, he has not took off yet, but he takes more steps everyday. The other day he walked from the center of the couch to the main bathroom. He wants to climb on everything. He can climb up onto the couch with a little help. He likes to stand on the couch and look out the window. I noticed that Logan is getting his 4 molars at the same time. Logan is extremely vocal these days. He is telling great stories, we don't know what he is telling us, but we listen just the same. April 4Th is picture day for us. I'm sure we get great big smiles and Logan will show off his baby blues.

Stay tuned for Logan's birthday party pictures in a few days.

Logan has taken some steps

As I have stated before it would be any day now that Logan will walk on his own. Doug and I have been really working with him everyday to teach him to keep his balance and walk. Just today he took 4 steps on his own. While I went to do some shopping Doug go two videos of Logan walking on his own. Its so cute, Logan is gets so excited that he is walking he falls down. He still wants help to walk around the house, however he barely holds our hands.
The first video starts with Logan just getting his balance leaning on the cough, then he takes a step, get his balance again, and then takes a few more steps before sitting down. I love the smile on his face as he walking to the camera.. Its priceless.


The second video is Logan investigating the diaper bag, while investigating he finds a zipper and begins to zip & unzip.


He learns something new everyday. Okay as for updates, Logan is now 11 months. We have been on the so much this month that I found it hard to know where March has gone. We went to Iowa on 3-8 to help celebrate Doug's grandparents 70Th Wedding Anniversary, Logan had a wonderful time visiting with all the family, playing with his grandpa Steve, and some of his cousin's that were there. Can't think of what else to say, but Thanks to everyone who visits the blog and writes comments. This has turned out to be a wonderful learning process for me and I really enjoy doing it. Thanks, Love you all

Time sure Flies

This last weekend we went to Henderson, NE to home show and spend sometime with Doug's classmate Scott Goossen and his family. They will be moving to England soon. As well as spending time with grandma & grandpa Michel. We stayed the night, Big Thanks! to Shar for finding us a pack & play for Logan to sleep in, since we didn't plan to stay the night I didn't bring ours. Shar took some great pictures of Logan playing with ALL the toys she has at her house.

Logan is so close to walking, any day now. He will take our hands and want to be walk around the house, he is so proud. What a big boy! we have this toy that can be used to help kids learn to walk so I stood Logan up in front of it to see what he would do. He stood there for a minute and then he was off and walking. I have video, he needs a little help with guiding it around and help when he gets stuck, but he is learning.



Besides teaching Logan to walk we have been working with him to say words, we are sure he is saying Hi. We are working with him to say up when he wants to be held and cat when the cats are around. He has his own sound when he is chasing the kitties. When he is tired he will crawl & cry over to where you are in order to be pick up. Whats really funny is the face he makes, he will squint his eyes & crinkle up his nose. Here is the best shot we could get of him doing that.


Logan was so tired that he just crashed out in the middle of the floor


Logan has figured out how to spit and boy does he spit. Just check this out!




I find it hard to believe that in a month Logan will be a year old. Yes I have started thinking of what to do for his 1st birthday. I don't like to plan parties so if anyone has ideas feel free to send them my way. The easier the better. I look at our calendar and noticed that we have something to do every weekend in March.
