While playing with a balloon, Logan takes a break and claps his hands together.

A Couple updates & photos

Where did January go, it seems like we were just celebrating the new year and now its February. Its hard to believe that in just two months we will be celebrating Logan first birthday. Logan has really grown since Christmas. At our 9 month check-up he weighs 17 pounds 13 ounces, 28 inches long. A few weeks ago Logan kept us up all night, we found that he had a cold. Thank goodness for Tylenol, it really help him sleep and breathe at night. Once over the cold came more teething, he is working on numbers 6 & 7 (top & bottom).
We had a couple wonderfully warm days this past weekend, so I took Logan to the park by the house. He got to swing, slide, ride, and play in the sand for the first time. Playing in the sand went over okay, but he didn't seem to care to much about that. Swinging now that is different, he could swing all day if he could, he liked going down the slide with dad. Nothing but Big smiles. Here are some pictures from our park trip.




Some things we are looking forward to this month. Logan turning 10 months. This could be the month that Logan walks on his own, he is getting pretty good at walking around the coffee table and standing up on everything that he can. His legs are really strong and he is pretty fast when we hold his hands and walk him around, he pretty proud of himself to do that. Sometimes he will let go of one hand and can take a few steps, before loosing his balance. He is learning to use his voice, we think he says Hi to us, yum, and no, no. I could be wrong, but it sure sounds like it. Can't believe how fast he is growing up.

End of March I will be taking swim lessons with Logan. I want Logan to be comfortable in the water. This will be a great time for Logan and I to spend with each other. I'm looking forward to Spring, to take Logan outside to the park and on walks.
We have planned our family vacation for July in Estes Park, Co. We plan to take Logan to feed the chipmunks, horseback riding (maybe),I may take him swimming, and so much more.

Well that's all for now, here are some pictures of Logan being Logan. Enjoy!

Don't worry the can is not open, I'm not giving him soda at this age.

Gift, Bows, Toys, and more Toys

Christmas is over and the tree has been put away, but we will be tripping over toys until Santa comes again next year. This is year we stayed home as a family of 3 for Christmas Eve. I made beef stew, we went to church services,and then opened gifts. I was good this year Doug got me a Nintendo Wii, Doug got his wool coat (which he really needed), and Logan got a toy box, dump truck w/Lego's, and, several semi-soft cars (from Santa). Christmas day we had people over here for turkey and everything that goes with that. Watched Logan tried to open his gifts, he is too little yet to fully understand what needs to be done, but he still finds a way to be the center of attention, when grandpa Steve put bows on his head. The 28Th we went to my dad's for another Christmas, Logan always has a good time with Pappa Ray and Mary. Here are some shots from Logan's 1st Christmas.

Bows on my head

Show me those teeth!

New Years we had planned to go out for dinner and a movie (which we have done for years), but instead we stayed home and took it easy. Logan was in bed at his regular time 10pm. Doug and I were in bed soon after that.
Logan turned 9 months on January 11th, he is getting real strong, we are working with to get his balance so he will be able to walk. Logan is up to 5 teeth now and with the way he has been drooling I think there is another one on its way.

Some exciting news for the new year, uncle Kevin & aunt Angie are expecting their first child in August. The Michel family is growing fast.

Merry Christmas!!

Where has December gone? Logan's first Christmas is 10 days away. With that in mind I thought I would take sometime and post something before Christmas. It may be the new year before I have time to post again.

Thanksgiving was here and gone just like that. This year we went to my dad's for lunch. Logan is eating baby food, so I was able to give him some sweet potatoes and turkey. He has a good time at Papa Ray's. Logan was able to play with the twins Cody & Dylan (Denise's kids, who is Mary's daughter). I brought the camera, but the day went by so fast that when I got home I realized that I didn't even take one photo. We put the tree up the Sunday before Thanksgiving. since its a pre-lit tree Logan was able to see the lights right away. He really likes the lights and is a good boy with the tree. We have to tell him no once in while, he likes to touch the garland and tags on the gifts under the tree.

Logan turned 8-months on December 11. He really is moving and shaking. Crawling is second nature to Logan it only takes a second and he is off chasing the kitties when they come around. When Logan is not chasing kitties he is pulling himself up to stand on anything that will hold him. He really has no fear, he doesn't hold on when he is standing.

We are having Christmas at our house this year. It will be nice for Logan to spend his first Christmas with his family. Here are some photos of Logan checking out the Christmas tree.





One last thing, just wanted to share some photos to show how much Logan likes his baby food.






Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a safe New Year!

Look out everyone someone is crawling!!

Its happened Logan is now on the move. Logan has been crawling for a couple of weeks now. So ready or not world there is a new investigator in town. Logan is not very fast, but that will come soon. He can really move when Isis or Athena come by. I don't think this little guy will crawl for too long, he wants to walk (more like run). He is already pulling himself up on his knees. Just today he pulled himself up to a full standing position. I can't believe how fast he is growing up.


I have posted a video of Logan crawling to get or see Isis.. It took a long time for the video to upload and I hope it works properly.. Enjoy! the video and pictures..




Happy Thanksgiving!

Well Logan has turned 7 months and doing new and silly things everyday. Some things that he is doing is laughing through his nose. Its so cute when he crinkles his nose. Now I don't know if this is a normal thing or not, but I laugh every time. He also likes to stick his tongue out (he has been doing this since the day he was born), however this is different we see his whole tongue. I think he is doing this because he feels those 2 teeth he has on the bottom. Logan is teething still, he has his first two teeth at 3 1/2 months and now he is working on 3 & 4. Lots of his toys have scratches from him chewing on them.

Still waiting for him to start crawling, he really wants too. He has been eating baby food and enjoying that. Logan has been on a special formula due to his milk/soy intolerance (which is very pricey), well just this week he is on a soy based formula, to see if he has out grown his intolerance. Its only been a few days, but so far no major problems, still happy..
Well I have gone on long enough. Here are some cute pictures of Logan and his many talents.

Just teaching Logan how to surf the Internet and play some computer games.

I like this one in the carseat, because of the way he has his arms over the cover. We just started using the cover since its been getting colder outside. He wasn't sure what to think of this cover.

First Halloween

Its Logan's First Halloween, he has no idea what its all about. So with that in mind I choose not to take him out and didn't dress him up in a costume. I found a orange/black sleeper with a spider on it. I bought him a little pumpkin to place outside. Of course we had to let Logan check it out to insure it met his approval. After he approved it, we set outside and handed out gold fish crackers to the little ones that came. We had 45 little ghosts and goblins.



I can't wait until next year to take Logan out, (he may not be able to have the candy, but I'm sure dad and mom could eat it for him). I'm already thinking about what he should be next year. I have lots of ideas, however I don't sew therefore I will not be making his costume.


Logan is almost ready to start crawling. (Oh boy look out!) I don't think I'm ready for that. I have started to child proof, but its not completing done.
Logan is working on getting into the kitchen I'm just wondering when he will say "What's cooking mom"?

Logan is letting me know that he needs some TLC, so I better post this already. Thanks to all who read the blog. Until next time enjoy!
