Boo At The Zoo

Every year the Knoxville Zoo has an event where the kids can dress up in costumes, walk around the zoo and collect candy. We didn't go last year, but on Friday we ventured out and walked the zoo. Braden had so much fun counting the booths and Logan just loved the ride in the stroller and looking around.
Logan wore Braden's penguin costume that I bought years ago, but it was way too big for Braden to wear for his first Halloween. Braden dressed up as, can you guess? He is Drew Carey the host of the Price is Right. Next year Logan will have more fun, because he will actually get to eat his candy. Right now it is all Momma's and Dada's!!

St. Joseph's Fall Festival (Oct. 17, 2009)

St. Joseph Catholic School has a fall festival every year and it is a lot of fun! Since they are building a new gym at the school and there wasn't any room on site there St. Albert the Great out in Halls hosted the event for the school. Since Braden is going to the school now and I am co-head room mom, I had to work our Caterpillar booth for a while in the morning. It was a very cold day and the boys were freezing. Travis had to work, so Grandma (Travis' mom) came with us to help me out. Pop came shortly after we got there with Ethan, Elijah didn't want to come so Nay-Nay stayed home with him.
Anyway, the boys had a blast! There were camel rides (Braden refused to ride one, but Ethan loved it), Bounce Houses galore, kettle corn, games, cotton candy, and tons of other fun things to do and eat. Braden won a cake, played ski-ball way too many times, and both boys had the opportunity to sit in a police helicopter. Braden was very upset when he couldn't go for a ride in the helicopter. They really enjoyed themselves. Logan passed out within an hour of being there. He'll have more fun next year.

5 months . . . already!?

Today our little man is 5 months old. Wow, how time flies by. Logan is quite the little ham and LOVES to be talked to and played with. Anything and everything that his big brother Braden does is so funny to him. Logan is turning over (and over, and over), eating cereal (3 Tbsp w/ formula mixed in), and playing with tons of new (to him, they are all Braden's old ones with a few new ones mixed in) toys.

Over the weekend Travis and I packed up the bassinet in our room (it's being shipped off to a friend's for a while) and moved Logan upstairs. He is doing well sleeping in his big boy crib. I just cannot believe how fast time has gone by. Before I know it both of my little boys will be driving cars, talking to girls, and going off to college. But for now I am enjoying every minute that I have with my two crazy little guys.

More cereal / just some cute pictures

Here are some more pictures of Logan enjoying his cereal! He loves to stick his fingers into his mouth right after I have just given him a mouthful of cereal. He makes a mess every time!

First Bite of Cereal

Well, Logan is now 4 months old and that means . . . cereal!!! He absolutely LOVES it! He talks the entire time he is eating it is too funny. He is so ready for "real" food!

Infomercial Mania!!!

For a while now Braden has been very interested in some infomercials. All he wanted for his 4th birthday was a Snuggie and a Touch 'n' Brush. Well, Nay - Nay bought him a Snuggie for his birthday and to this day he still sleeps with it. (That was a month ago, he loves it!) Nay- Nay tried to find the Touch 'n' Brush for his birthday as well, but we had very little luck in finding one.
Well, today Nay- Nay and I ventured out to an "As Seen On TV Store" in West Knoxville and guess what we found. A Touch 'n' Brush!!!!! We came home and gave it to Braden. He was so excited. He had Dada put it up right away and he just had to brush his teeth. In fact we had to almost take it off the mirror in his bathroom because he kept wanting to brush his teeth over and over. He was just so excited about it! At least we know his mouth is nice and clean!!

Logan's 4 month check-up

Today Travis and I took Logan to see Doctor Roberts for his 4 month check-up. He did a great job. They weighed him, measured him, gave him shots, and even pricked his little finger. Poor baby! He wailed when he got his shots, but when they pricked his finger he just looked at the nurse like he was saying "what was that for?". Logan weighs 13 lbs 7 oz (22%), he is 24.75 inches long (44%), and his head circumference is 40.75 cm (16%).
Logan is now able to start eating rice cereal. I know he is going to love this because whenever we are eating his eyes follow the food from the plate to our mouths. He is so ready to get something other than milk from Momma. He is growing so fast!! He loves watching his big brother Braden do everything. He laughs all the time at everything and is grabbing things too. His favorite thing to chew on are his fingers. He is such a funny baby and a joy to be around.
Here is his monthly picture with George. He's bigger than George now too!!!
