Our Little Dinosaur

Logan has some GREAT noises these days. Apart from mumumumum, dadadada, babababa, nananana, he has a VERY, VERY loud shrill. But our favorite is the dinosaur!

Visit from Nana

Logan is having a fantastic visit from his Nana and they sure are enjoying each other's company. They have been playing, lots of cuddles, and Logan has enjoyed some fun little Czech songs. Nana has also been spoiling him like crazy. What a lucky boy. Here are just a couple of cute shots from some quality time.

The wheels on...ANYTHING

Logan is such a boy. He loves anything with wheels. Lately, he has taken a lot of interest in the wheels on his stroller. If the brake wasn't on, he would probably roll it all through the house if he could.




He is also lovin' his new toy from Nana. "Trucks" it all around the house :)

For the love of the vacuum cleaner

Logan's newest favorite thing is the vacuum cleaner. He climbs it, bangs it, pulls at it. If ONLY he could use it. Ah, one day :)

A hockey star in the making

Almost 9 months old and this little guy is almost mastering hand/puck coordination. Well, we still have a ways to go, but he can move it around a bit. He even got his ball stuck under the bed and after a couple of failed attempts, he managed to scoop it out. Dad is super excited about this, if only Melbourne had a few more hockey rinks :)

How come someone else's toys always looks (tastes) better?

Blueberry Monster

It started like this. The innocent little blueberries.



Then this little hand came in for the attack --- Their despise was the result of one of two fates.



The chew -- or



The squash




Either way, someone was truly enjoying themselves.

Ready for the cold weather

The 30 degrees is gone and now we are in the teens. I am NOT complaining. It's been a refreshing change. I also like dressing Log in some cute winter wear.

On his feet!

So, only two weeks after figuring out to crawl, Logan has figured out how to balance on his feet. He is now really starting to pull up on things. Second round of baby proofing, here we come :)

Fancy a shoe?

Lately, one of Logan's favorite activities is playing with shoes. It could be his, but he tends to gravitate to mom's. If there are laces, that seems to be a bonus :)

Easter Weekend

We had a great Easter weekend here. We made a big turkey dinner and had another mom/dad/babe join us. Here is a first look at Logan with his girl friend Gracie. She also is super cute and such a happy little girl. She has these great little thigh rolls, you could just eat here :). Logan and Gracie are just starting to understand each other, and "gentle" has definitely become part of the vocabulary as the have started to smack each other at random.




Easter Sunday we decided to have a BBQ, and Craig has already started apprentice training :)





Then it's a trip to the park to have some fun on the slide. Logan, once again loving the park fun :)

Logan - 8 months

Hard to believe Logan is 8 months already, actually over eight months now. So, where are we these days:

Logan weighs 17 lbs, so not a super heavy man. But he is 72 cms long (this is what the nurse says, but I actually think that he is longer. there is no way he grew only 1 1/2 cm in 2 months)

Crawling!!! He is EVERYWHERE!!! He can even "turbo crawl" as we call it, when he gets into high gear and tries to crawl so fast that he gets a few paces and then totally face plants, it is very cute.

Pretty much eats everything, although he is very pensive about it. He must taste a tiny bit, think about it, decides if it is yummy before he actually continues with the meal.

Babbling, grunting and squawking like a cockatoo. His "talking" is so cute. He communicates in so many ways. Babbling with the common mammamam, dadada, bababaa, which has no meaning to anything at this point. Grunting, which apparently can be a common habit for babies, they like the vibrations in their throat, and the screeching like a cockatoo, which is so funny and very LOUD!!!

Thinks cuddling is boring, rather be on the move.

Loves the park. We try to go everyday for a little while, even if it's only for 30 minutes. There are a few close by, but the newest one has this great tunnel which Logan thought was pretty cool!
