First Day of Snow Fun

It was about one degree outside and with the snow fall last night it was the perfect time to make a snowman. I bundled Logan up and set him on a blanket so that he could watch. He didn't really know what to make of the snow...

It doesn't taste like ice cream! Hmmmm, do I like it?

I love it!

FYI

In case you haven't heard from Superficial or Hello magazine, Baby Logan is the hottest celebrity right now. Everyone loves him -from other celebrities to high fashion....

Logan Claps

Logan sometimes screams when he gets excited. To prevent headaches, I've been trying to help express his happiness by teaching him to clap. He's starting to get the hang of clapping and now can scream and clap at the same time.... LOL

Shock and Awe Hair Cutting

Logan's head was starting to look a bit fussy on top so I decided I would give him another haircut. I use the 'Shock and Awe Baby Haircutting Technique'....



The shock:

Put baby in the bath tub with NO water! To keep squirming to a minimum use a Bumbo seat too.

What's going on?!?!?

The Awe:

Give the baby a cookie!!!

A cookie? Yes!!!!

Now you might think that eating while there is hair being cut wouldn't work out -but here is Logan during the process. Note the cookie in his hand, the smile on his face and the absence of him grabbing and trying to eat falling hair.

Learning to Crawl

Practicing for Christmas

So many toys to play with and all Logan wants to play with is wrapping paper -I guess he's practicing for Christmas! Logan loves to feel things that have different textures so I try to find something different for him to explore each day -the plant in the kitchen, a leaf from our walk, the fuzzy fur blanket.

Logan love ripping and crunching up paper but in the past he has always wanted to eat it (postcards, tissue paper, wrapping paper, etc). But yesterday we played with wrapping paper for almost an hour and I only had to remind him twice that paper wasn't for eating. :)

Happy Birthday, Lola!

Tonight we went to the new Mandarin restaurant close to our house for Lola's birthday. It was the first time that Logan sat in one of the high chairs at a restaurant...he was very happy about it.

All the kids and Lola!

Hanging out with the cousins is so much fun -especially when they spend so much time trying to get me to smile and laugh!

Logan loves eating melon from his mesh bag -this is an amazing invention!

What a cutie!

I'm Nine Months Old!

Logan had his nine month check up yesterday. He was a very good boy and was laughing and smiling at everyone -the secretary, the nurses, the doctor and the people in the waiting room.

Here he is just chilling while we wait for his weigh-in. LOL

Length: 73 cm, 70 percentile

Weight: 20 lbs 9 oz, 43 percentile
Head circumference: 45.9 cm, 70 percentile

Besides the drool rash under his chin, everything is going great. The doctor just recommended rubbing in diaper rash cream before bedtime.

And in other news, Logan's new favorite hobby is pulling off his socks...

Logan's Baptism

Logan had his Baptism this Sunday. Allan is Catholic and this was something that was very important to him to pass onto his son. Logan wore the same outfit that his cousins Kiyan and Xyris wore and looked like a little doll.

Instead of bonbonnieres we decided to make a donation the hospital where Logan was born. I made fortune cookies for the center pieces -one side told about the donation and the other side had a fortune.

They were a bit hit and easy to make. I got the step-by-step directions from For the Love of Paper Blog (Since I made them a few weeks beforehand I used hot glue instead of the double sided tape)

Big Bath Fun

On Saturday we started giving Logan his baths in the big bathtub. He cried for about ten seconds when we put him in and then acted rather indifferent to the change. Logan isn't a big splasher in the tub. He's pretty relaxed and likes to lie back and get his hair washed. We call it the Baby Spa because after bath time he gets a massage -I wish I could get that every morning!

We think a six tooth wants to come out...Logan is drooling again and is getting a bit of a rash under his chin from it.
