Moon
Logan loves the moon thanks to “Hush Little Ones”. But last week was the first time he saw the real, actual moon up in the sky and not just a picture in a book. It was in the morning and very high up in the beautiful blue sky, about half waning. I [...]
Nickname
Forest is going to start to think that his name is little shit. I know that I need to call him something a bit more enduring like Pioneer Woman’s “little punks”. But ever since turning a year old he really has become a little something. A little crafty, a little tease, a [...]
Hats
The other day I pulled out some hats to play with. It was a very fun 10 minutes and here is some of the cuteness.
New Adventures
A month or two ago we had a playdate at the local Children’s Museum. It was a blast and I decided it would be a great thing to have a membership so that we can go back on really hot days, on rainy days, or just whenever to do something different. Having a [...]
Nothing Much…but then there was Dinner
I’ve been busy. I can’t say that it’s anything worth talking about so I haven’t. Mostly keeping the house clean and playing with the boys. Forest appears to be teething again, molars I’m guessing but he doesn’t let anyone into his mouth to know for sure. So he’s very clingy and [...]
Braces update
Monday morning I had my first appointment since having the braces put on five weeks ago. I have to be honest, I have no idea what exactly they did. I know that it involved taking off the rubber bands on most of the front teeth and instead using long, thin wires wrapped around [...]
18 Month Well Visit
Logan is now 25 lbs 9 ozs and he’s 32.5 inches tall.
Forest is 21 lbs 4 ozs and 30.5 inches tall.
As we already knew, they are super healthy and doing great. Despite being only in the 5%, the doctor shows no concerns about Forest and accepts him as he is. I [...]
Father’s Day 2008
I was fortunate enough this year to have the boys all weekend for Father’s Day weekend. We spent the entire time having fun together, which included playing with lots of toys, wrestling, going outside, watching Saturday-morning cartoons, playing in the water sprinkler, playing Mario Kart Wii (the boys LOVE the WiiWheel), learning and practicing new [...]
Backyard and Birthday Shenanigans
I’m being daring today in preparation for what I hope to be a more regular situation. I’m sitting here in the computer room, looking out the window into the backyard where the boys are running around playing with balls and sticks. This feels very big to give them a bit more freedom, but [...]
On Fire
It’s not only hot outside ’round these parts, the language explosion is in full force inside of our house! Forest and Logan are constantly repeating the words they know, asking for new words and learning them within minutes, repeating new words with decent clarity. They understand concepts like “under” and “close”, which seems [...]
