eleven months

Miles is now eleven months old and is as busy as he can be. He loves to push cars and trucks around the house. He has also continued his love of tearing all of the books off of logan's bookshelf. He just generally likes to destroy whatever is in his path. One of his nicknames is 'king kong.' He loves to pull all of the books off of the tv stand and he also loves to play with the dvd player and satellite box. The poor boy is not going to know his name because we call him 'brother.' Here are a few pictures from a beautiful afternoon we spent outside. Miles enjoyed crawling around the driveway and riding in the wagon. Logan also enjoyed pulling miles around in the wagon!

big girl bed!

We decided to convert Logan's crib to a toddler bed today. With her turning three next month (!!!), we decided that we needed to go ahead and do it. I didn't really want to because she sleeps so well in her crib, but knew that it was time. When we visit both sets of grandparents, she sleeps in a big bed just fine, so we're thinking the transition should be pretty smooth. Logan was pretty excited about sleeping in a "big bed" and was grinning when it was time to get in the bed. So far, we haven't heard a peep from her!

helping daddy

trying out her new bed. miles is also pretty excited about it. soon, he'll figure out that he can climb up there with her. pretty sure there's going to be some screaming going on about that...

She's so big!

She was jumping and singing, "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

daddy and his babies

We thoroughly enjoyed a very lazy weekend. We didn't go anywhere and it was so nice! This morning, the kids spent at least 45 minutes in the chair with jordan.... which, is definitely a rarity! Logan will sit for a while if you're reading books to her, but Miles will not sit still for very long ever. He is way too busy these days.

Logan is still in her pjs (that she picked out herself) and enjoying a box of raisins. Raisins are one of her favorite snacks. Please note the dog attached to jordan's arm. That's woogy and he has a serious nibbling problem. He's been recently put on valium, but we've yet to see any improvements with his nervous habits!

And here they are again a little later in the day. Jordan was trying to read them a story but he kept falling asleep. Seriously?!

Logan had to start reading the stories herself.

happy valentine's day!

Hope everyone had a great valentine's day!

snow!

We had snow! Lots of snow (for us, anyway!) It came down pretty quickly and pretty much melted by the end of the following day (today.) But, it sure was pretty and fun. This is the kind of snow I like.... pretty to look at for one day and melts the following day! Logan had a blast playing in the snow and really enjoyed eating it! She and jordan even made some snow ice cream!
Friday evening. It started coming down around 4pm.

Logan was thrilled that it was 'stowing.'

Miles wasn't too sure about all that stuff flying in his face.

We walked down our street. Logan held onto her snowball and ate it the entire time.

Delicious!



We think we had at least 4". That's a lot for us!




Miles enjoyed the snow much more today since there wasn't any snow actually falling anymore and getting in his face.
Oh, snow is just so yummy!


snow angel!

pottying at school!

Logan has been potty trained for about a month now. Just this past Thursday, she finally used the potty at school! She got to pick a prize out of the treasure chest for such a big achievement. She is very excited about her ice cream bubbles! We're so proud of her. She's been completely in panties pretty much the entire time (with the exception of nighttime.) Way to go Logan!

recent fun

So, Jordan was supposed to be watching the children... Logan brought him some teddy bears to nap with.
Eating can be a full-contact event!
a RARE sweet sibling moment. Miles has nothing but love for Logan. Logan, however, does not share the same sentiment. She loves to be a little mommy... "no brothers, don't hit" etc... basically she says, "No brothers" followed by whatever bossy thing is appropriate at that time.
a few pictures of Logan actually being still Recently, she runs when she sees the camera.

Eating pasta

wooohoo! Daddy gives the best laundry basket rides!

They've started taking baths together. It actually works out really well. Of course, the no splashing rule only applies to Miles. Logan can splash all she wants. Or, so she thinks. She like to tell him, "No splashing brothers!" as she proceeds to splash him. poor miles.
