14 Months

Most of my pictures of Logan for this month were either from Hawaii (next post) or of him getting into things....and, of course, then him posing for the camera. He is such a cheese ball. Anyway, here's what's new with Logan:

~He's 21 lbs but I'm not sure how tall. We'll find out at his 15 month Dr appt.
~He took his first steps a few weeks ago and continues to take a few steps at a time but is not walking yet. For the first time in his life, he's acting hesitant and scared to hurt himself.
~He waves.
~He points.
~He finally says "mama" and "dog" in addition to his favorite word "dada".
~He loves piggy-back rides.
~He is very attached to his blanky. He tries to bring it with him everywhere...even to the table.
~He bites when he gets excited :(
~He plays hide and seek.
~He thinks you can't see him when he shuts his eyes.
~He gives "french" kisses.
~He loves the pool but not going under water.
~He loves hanging from trees.
~He has become a ladies' man. A group of guys can walk past him and he won't give them a second look. A group of guys and ladies walk by and he pulls out all the his tricks...his fake laugh, his cheesy smile, his hide and seek game, whatever he can to get their attention.
~He makes it through all 3 hours of church without having to take him out...usually.
~His favorite toy is his bunny that he sleeps with. He's also formed a little attachment with that.
~He puts the phone, a remote, a calculator, and anything else up to his ear that may resemble him talking on the phone.

I think that's all I can come up with for this month. The big post I've been putting off (Hawaii vacation) is next.

Joy in the Journey

I know it's been forever since I've posted anything. Once I get behind on something, I just put it off more and more. It's a terrible flaw I have. Anyway, I'm finally attempting to catch up.

On Memorial weekend I went to our ward's girls camp. It was from Saturday to Tuesday so it worked out really well since Scott could watch Logan every day except Tuesday. Thanks to Scott's family for helping out on Tuesday : ). By the way, much to my surprise, Logan did great and didn't even notice I was gone. This was the first time I've been to girl's camp since I was in young womens. I had forgotten how fun girl's camp really is. It was like a 4 day slumber party with skits, good food, games, crafts, dancing, singing, hiking, and of course some spiritual uplift. The theme was Find Joy in the Journey and I'm pretty sure everyone did. Honestly I didn't have too much responsibility when it came to camp and it was actually a nice little vacation for me. I had great food that I never had to prepare and I didn't have to worry about cleaning up the house or changing diapers. It was wonderful. The only thing I can say is I was having a huge insomnia problem and literally didn't sleep more than about 2 or 3 hours a night. I remember the good ol days when I could do that and not collapse. Well lets just say I'm too old for that now and I almost died from exhaustion by the time I got home.

They made the most wonderful doughnuts I've ever eaten...and boy did I eat them. I think I had 4 or 5. I wasn't the only one that went overboard. Some of the girls were eating like 10 doughnuts. Needless to say, that was the beginning of mayhem. They were all high on sugar and went bonkers...wrestling, giggling, screaming, and playing pranks on each other.

We had Sacrament meeting on Sunday which was really cool just being out in nature, feeling the Spirit, and not having a toddler climb all over you chatting your ear off. It was a really spiritual, relaxing day. Yes, we wore dresses at camp.

This is where the leaders slept.
This is one of the tents where the girls slept. Sometimes you get special privileges when you're a leader.

Our ward has a goal to make a certain number of bears ( I can't remember how many. Maybe 100) so one of the things we did on Sunday was this service project craft.
