I promise!

Now I promise to learn how to download/upload videos of Logan. Until then you just sit there and be patient.

So lets see where did I leave off. Logan and his slow crawling. It brought so much happiness. Fast forward a week later.AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH he is an animal. And Eric and I are seriously having to zoom in to child proofing our home. He is literally insane. YES LOGAN! You would never know that a week ago/days ago he had no clue how to get from point A to point B. I do love it, but lets be real, I am too old for chasing a baby. hahah He will keep me young that is for sure. Or Kill me.

Then on Sunday when he decided he was the coolest kid on the block by crawling he started super drooling. And guess what??? He has a tooth. His lower tooth barely is poking through his gums. Not to be confused with GOOMS. Eric and I so hate that. Anyway....he likes to bite my chin. Only mine I guess. But anyway he bit me and I felt it good. So I cleaned my hands and checked and sure enough, there was his baby little tooth trying to poke out. OMG!!!! Eric was at my parents so I waited to tell him until he got home. He didnt really see much, but he could feel it. And off we go, he is about to start College!

He is so close to saying things. I think he says "Hi". And he always says bababa. He is enjoying hitting his softball. Monica and Jerry and gang got us a tee ball toy for Logan just before I had him. Well how he plays with it in bed every night. The amazing thing is, the ball stays real good on the Tee. So he slugs at it like crazy and we dont have to chase a ball. AWESOME.

We had Carriage Days this past weekend. Always a busy time for my family. So we had Erics mom watch Logan. Those two were sure lazy. Every time I came home to check on them, they were snoozing away. Must be nice. But we went to the bar for some lunch. And we went for a small walk. It was a freezing ice day so it was not fun to be out unless the sun came out for a peek.

I took Logan uptown later in the day where he proceeded to goof off with Aunt Frances. It was the funniest thing. She would say "Logan" and he would turn his head and smile like he was ignoring her. And he was thinking it was super funny. They did this over and over again. It was pretty comical. He has never really done anything playful like that. So that was cute.

All in all it was busy, but we of course spent lots of time with our little man. Even though we have to fight over him with everyone. Not a bad thing for sure.

I mentioned my posting video because I do have video of his first crawling and then of his going where he wants when he wants. Its quite impressive. I think he is a genius. haha

And Eric and I were laughing as we were getting ready for work this morning we were watching Glee, the Britney Spears episode. And Logan was so fascinated, he totally was watching it. He likes music.

Oh I have a picture to post....Jodi got him some Sponge Bob Square Pants PJS..super cute. And I love his little feet check it out.



I am going to try to be better about updating Logans details. Its just so hard. You want to enjoy the moment yet at the same time preserve some memories...and really I just want to be in the moment. So forgive me if I slip on adding details.

And he is off....

Last night September 22, Logan crawled all by himself. Him and I were playing on the floor. I put his monkey ball in front of him to entise him, and off he went. I wasnt sure if he actually did it as I was watching tv while playing with him. So I did it again and made Eric watch. And yup...he can crawl. Very little, and not for long. But he figured out that he needs to propell forward and that he can lift his hands to make that happen. AWESOME> We got some video footage also. Soon he will be cruising on his own.

And today he is off to the Impression 5 Museum with his daycare. There is a room for kids under four called First Impression. So he will be playing there today with his buddies. Super cute!

I will try to post video here at some point.>...I have to teach myself.

Out of order....

So babies change daily...no surprise there. But my little guy is doing things that I thought would not happen for a while. Such as reaching through his cage/crib to knock over his baby monitor and attachments on purpose. Things such as finding out the tv cabinet door swings back and forth and that it is fun to make it do this. And of course climbing over mom and dad to get to whatever it is that he sees. He is an animal. And its lots of fun. He did these things last night (Sept 17th). It just gave me a glimps in to the "No" phase of parenting. But I couldnt stop laughing at about 3:30am last night when he knocked over the monitor. I walked in to see his little face through the rails and his arms reaching so hard as far as they could go. Little nugget.

He is not full blown crawling, and we are pretty sure he can(hense the climbing). He just has not connected the dots yet. Soon enough thats for sure.

He just started apples last night. I am making a premature guess here, but fruit is not his thing. He is for sure a veggie man.

Below are random pics I posted on facebook and forgot to post here. Enjoy in no specific order:

Go Spartans. I took this picture before we dropped him off at daycare. Cute huh?


This was a pick on Opening Day for the Lions. Logans first Lions Game


This was obviously his 8mos pic. However, I took it 1 day later. What a bad mom. Eric and I realized late at night when he was sleeping on the 10th that I had forgotten to take this picture. OMG!!! So I took this the next day. And Logans Grandma Starn assisted.


This is his Boppy nap. We quickly realized that we should be using this thing for his naps. He loves it. Plus he looks super cute in it if you ask me. haha


Here he is just amazing....


This is Logans Halloween shirt. This was hard to take a pic of. He was not having it. You are not seeing the shot where he is crying so bad. I am sure he wants to slap me when he sees "new outfits" and the "camera". hahah


Here is a pic of Logan up north. We heard all this bouncing and then none...first time he bounced himself to sleep. Since then we have had some repeats of this. super cute I think.


This is a pic of Logan and Carson (Ashlie and Lee Helmers little baby. He was born in July). Both of the boys first football game at OE


and the rest are from the OE game. Logans first as I said before. He was such a good boy. We lost that day, but it was all good. And we ended sitting my Chase. He is a little boy in Logans daycare. And they totally recognized each other. it was cute.

Coming up....

So we have been doing so much with Logan this summer. Its been so awesome to have him in our lives. He makes everything in the world better.

we are still working on trying to get him to crawl. He can slither around an entire room. He can crawl somewhat backwards. He is a lot more vocal. He smiles at everything. He just recently started crying when Eric and I leave him. He prefers us I suppose. And of course I dont mind that at all.

He has has mad such huge advancements that probably only Eric and I care to know about or even notice.

He was in our local paper (The Weekly) for reader of the month. This makes everyone laugh. But he reads a book a day....well he is read too. And Sharen takes him to the library all of the time. He even received a certificate. I am sure that would ahve made Erics Grandma Rybicki very proud. She was a librarian.

Lets see...recently we spent our last holiday up north for the summer. It was so horrible. Because Logan was going through something. He needed to be held all night long. And it was cold and rainy. And well it was no fun when the weather is like that. But we made the most of it, and had random good times.

Up north they do a trick or treat type deal for the kids. So Logans Halloween bag made the rounds with Little Lou. And Logan slept through the entire event. But he did wear his "My first Halloween shirt". And actually He was sporting quite the fun clothes this past weekend. Because we are going to Oktoberfest next weekend, we couldnt stop laughing with Monica found a leiderhosen (spelling) outfit in a baby size. And I thought picture opp...so of course we bought it.


He looks like Buddy the Elf.

And he wore his "you bet your bratworst I am German" shirt that I got him for his first Oktoberfest.

And of course he has his Halloween costume for home..more on that later.

But we had our fantasy football draft up north at Bucillies for the 2nd year. And Logan got to come with us. So he survived his first draft. And he was such a good boy.



And of course the long ride home, he was an angel....

Yes we owe it all to his carseat....we are all in love.

He just started eating his first bits of fruit....Bananas. He had those last night (Sept 8). He took a bite and made that "what in the hell is this" face". And then like everything else he eats, he was like okay lets do this. And proceeded to eat the rest.

Sharen told me this morning she could tell that Green Beans were not his fave. I told her his fave seems to be sweet peas. Boy he gobbles those right up.

And our old classmate Mike Griffen and his wife Shelda just had a baby boy the other day. He came quite early. But he is doing great. The reason I mention this is because I cant get over the funky cool names that these kids have now a days....

He will be hanging out with Carson Helmer (Lee & Ashley), Kellen Garcia (Charity & David), and Laine Griffen (Mike and Shelda). And then of course he will be forever buddies with Ian, Melissa and Zoey's new addition Charlotte. Now do those sound like cool people or what?

I am sure I am leaving out the latests and the greatests...but we cant capture every second of Logans life....but sure am going to try.
