Logan's 1st Real Haircut!

Yesterday, Lee and I took Logan to Great Clips to get his very first, real, big-boy haircut. I've trimmed his hair here and there as its grown to keep it manageable, but nothing like this. This haircut was his first BIG haircut... It's a little bittersweet... he's lost that "baby" look now since his curls are gone... he looks like such a big boy now!

He did sooo well, too! Logan sat very still and didn't fuss or fight. It was a great first haircut experience. His stylist, Diane, was very sweet, too. I hope you enjoy the many photos I snapped of his first haircut!!

My Halloween Dinosaur

Last Halloween, Logan was only 10 months old. We dressed him up as a teddy bear and took him out trick-or-treating in his stroller. He, of course, really didn't know what the heck was going on, but it was still fun for us. Parents love showing off their cute babies in costume and we were no exception. This year, though, Logan seemed to really get into Halloween.

His costume this year was a blue dinosaur, and it was CUTE!

Thursday night (10/30) I took Logan trick-or-treating at our friend Laura's kids' elementary school with my friend Mike who babysits her kids while she works her second job. Her boys Austin, a.k.a. Elvis, and Nathan, an Incredibles super hero, had fun and Logan tagged along. They walked the school halls and the teachers gave out candy. Logan wasn't too sure about it until he got a lollipop and then he was all about the candy. Afterward, we took the kids out for dinner at Cici's Pizza which is always a hit.

Friday, Halloween night, my parents and Lee and I took Logan to a nearby subdivision where the residents always get really into Halloween and decorate and make it nice for the kids. We got out of the car and it was like "candy-trick-or-treating-Halloween instinct" took over... Logan knew just what to do. He started running for the first house he saw. It was really cute and he had soooo much fun... he also got a LOT of candy for a kid that's not even 2 yet!! We went out for dinner to Don Lolo's Mexican restaurant and then went home and Logan went straight to bed. He was worn out from all the Halloween festivities. It was a great night!

Here's some photos of our little dinosaur... isn't he cute?! Raawwrrr!

My ARTistic Child!

I haven't blogged this week, but there hasn't been a whole lot to say either. Logan and I stayed around the house for the most part. Monday night, Ryan and Harrison came over to Grandma's and Logan and Harry got to play outside in the driveway for a long while. They were playing with sidewalk chalk and Ryan was teaching Harrison how to ride his bike without the training wheels. Logan always has fun with Harrison... he sure loves that kid!

Logan played with his chalk in the driveway again in the middle of the week. I also got him some crayons and set him up in his high chair (because I'm smart and don't want my walls covered in crayon!!) He got to "color" for the first time and seemed to have fun. He doesn't have the understanding that you have to hold the paper down while you write/draw/color yet so I used tape to hold his paper to the high chair try so he could scribble away. Here are just a few pictures of Logan and his artsy-fartsy self this past week.

Oh! I almost forgot. Remember that adorable wool diaper cover with the giraffes that I talked about here last week? It arrived and I got some cute, sun-squinting shots of Logan modeling it.

Water Baby!

I'm seriously going to try to keep up with my blog this time. I gave you a decent introduction of my life and what is most important to me, my baby boy, Logan... then I left you high and dry and didn't post again. So here goes... to catch you up to speed:

Logan is almost 19 months old now and into everything! He started walking back in March and then began running shortly thereafter. He loves to play outside.... he used to be afraid of the grass or, at least, didn't like to touch it. Now, he'll run through it barefoot and fall down in it and get right back up and it's no big deal. Logan also loves his little kiddie pool we got for him. Even more than the kiddie pool, though, he adores the garden hose.

After naptime today, I took him outside to play in the driveway. I was going to fill the little pool, but he had other plans and just wanted to run around with the hose. He had a great time!
