The Next Jackson Pollock?

Logan has done 'hand prints' at the Early Years Centre but has never finger painted before. I thought that 10 months old might be too early...but we were stuck inside due to the snow and coldness and I thought we could turn whatever he made into Christmas thank you cards. I figured that since the paint was non-toxic and washable that it couldn't really go that badly.

I sat Logan in his Bumbo on a vinyl tablecloth without his shirt, put his soother in his mouth (so he wouldn't try to eat it) and let him go wild.

He seemed to really enjoy it and even liked playing with the paper towels during clean-up.

Bath Time!

Cousin Christmas Party

We got all the cousin's on Allan's side of the family together for a holiday bash and secret planning session to do something for Great Lola's birthday...

Logan was very happy he got to play with his Aunties and Uncles

Playing Rock Band

Cousin Xyris singing Roxanne by the Police ~ this little man knows ALL the words! LOL

Even Santa stopped by...

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Around 10:30 am it started snowing in Markham on Friday....

By 2pm it was time to shovel....

And at 4pm you couldn't tell that I shoveled!

Still want to come to Canada Auntie Thao?

Not much else to do but stay inside and play!

Getting Ready for the Holidays

We're getting ready for Logan's first Christmas! The tree is up, the stocking are hung and the Christmas crafts are done!

A tutorial on how to make these cute magazine Christmas trees are over at the Just Like Martha blog and you can make your own little holiday family over at Cubeecraft.

We even made a virtual gingerbread house over at All Sorts....

Yesterday we joined Lola for a Holiday lunch...

I packed a sippy cup and some Cheerios for lunch and the rest of Logan's food was 'Big Boy Food' from the buffet.

He was a very good boy but got restless after about two hours. We were at the Delta Hotel so I took him on a tour to look at the pool, the waterfall, the lobby and we took a gazillion trips up and down the glass elevator. Logan flirted with everyone we saw and the lady at the front desk even gave Logan a Christmas present!

I'm 10 months old!

Last night we got about 9 cm of snow. But it warmed up in the afternoon, so instead of being inside all day Logan and I ventured out... Logan is getting over a cold so I bundled him up nice and warm.
Here is Logan giving me a 'thumbs up' as I try and shovel the mound of snow in front of our drive way -I ended up giving up and leaving it for Daddy.

The best part of being outside is the toboggan rides. We went up and down our street four times and up and down our back lane way twice. What a great work out for Mommy especially since Logan loves going fast!


Back home already?!??!

To celebrate Logan turning 10 months old he made his first snow angel!

What a fun afternoon! I love the snow, Mommy!

Back inside!

Being 10 months is hard work. Is it nap time yet?

Pooh Bear

Logan can still squeeze into the Pooh Bear costume from my cousin Perry, so it's time for another photo shoot. This is a great way to pass an hour playing.

Not only is he a male model but he can also play the piano and sing!

True triple threat!

Advanced Peek-a-Boo

We bought a infant 'nest' for Logan when he was just starting to learn to sit on his own. He's never really liked it and always tries to wiggle out and escape -until now! I threw the Raptor blanket over it and now we do Activity #321 from Rookie Mom's: Hide-and-Seek!

Stand Up!

It was just last Sunday that Logan started standing up by himself for long periods of time if he was holding onto something. Now my little monkey can get to standing position by himeself ( at 9 months and 3 weeks).

Winter Wonderland

Our snow family...

Run Mommy, RUN!!! Yippee! Hahahahahaha!

We're done already?
