In Sling

Rach bought this video on how to put your baby in your own type of sling with just a piece of fabric. The bjorn was getting to big for him anyway--and this works awesome. He likes it better--he can kick around, his arms are free, and it's more comfortable for mom and daddy. Not to mention it's easier to advertise his cuteness.

Look, mommy's in the window!

Getting bigger, stronger, chubbier. . .

Hi everyone--Logan got weighed the other day. . .he's 19 pounds! He's also 27-1/4" tall! In another month or so we might be able to turn the car seat around. Then we can give him his binky without swerving all over the road.

Hmm, I wonder what this unlocks. . .

Look, new teeth!

More sandplay

Does this stuff have good antibodies?

Eh, Mom, what are you planning on doing?

My cousin Kasey and his mommy, Nancy

I love to sleep when the heat index is 120!!!

What is daddy doing?

Logan was confused by this bit. . . :)

Some sandplay

Logan was EXTREMELY intrigued by the tactile experience of sand. Surprisingly, he didn't eat it.

Ocean reaction

He liked the sand way more than the ocean. When Mommy dipped his toes in the waves he cried--too cold, too strange. But he did seem to like the noise and the kids zipping in and out with their boogie boards.

Logan and Kasey on vacation together in NC

Logan really loves his cousin. Every time Kasey comes into range he smiles and kicks and wants to play. And Kasey likes Logan, too. They got to spend a lot of time together this past week.

Standing? Cruising? Crawling? Sleeping?

After the trip to Virginia, Logan began to improve on standing up and even cruising a little--but it made him instantly tired :)

Logan plays with Aunt Kate and Uncle Jason

Logan also got to see Aunt Kate and (future!) Uncle Jason at the mall when Rach went on her trip in mid-July. He was just learning to crawl then--more recent videos will show him crawling like a pro.

Logan plays with Halle

Rach went to visit some friends in Virgina back in mid July; it took us a while to sort through those videos--so I'll be posting some, plus more recent ones, in the coming entries. Fun stuff! Here's one of Logan playing with his new friend Halle, daughter of our friends Chris and Ellen.

With Teeth

So I've been on a small mission to get a closeup of Logan's teeth. I thought about an x-ray machine, but that seemed extreme. There was good light this morning and, though he was jiggling and squirming and flapping around, I was able to snag this: he has 3 teeth (2 bottom, 1 top), plus one more on the top coming in!

Where's my toothbrush, daddy?

Speaking of "daddy," Logan this morning decided that was his word of choice, along with its many permutations: "dadda, daddy, diddy, doody..." Pretty damn cool, if you ask me. Of course, I'm the diddy :)
