Rolling Over... According to Tyler

Everyone who holds me is surprised by how strong I am!  I have been lifting my head up since I was born; I sneak out of my swaddle every chance I get! So, it is no surprise that I have been sooo close to rolling over for a while now!  Early this morning, when I was playing with my Mommy, I decided to flip from my belly to my back all by myself!!

My Mommy was super excited, but I didn't get what the big deal was.  I just  flipped over, slowly, from my belly-- then to my side-- then to my back.  I played it off cool as if it was no big deal, but I know it is a big milestone!  It means I'm getting bigger and stronger!!





This means that I am officially "on the move!"

ABCs... According to Logan

I love to practice singing my ABCs! Sometimes, I sing the whole song perfectly; other times, I leave out a few letters.  My favorite part to sing is WX-YZ!

When my brother and I were going for a walk with my Mommy, I decided to sing the ABC song with her.
(Please excuse the fact that I am dressed like a pirate and wearing my Browns clothes at the same time.  We were on a volcano hunt after watching the game!)

Silly Brothers... According to Tyler

I have loved swinging in my swing for a while, but I recently started enjoying my bouncer!  It is so fun to explore with all of my toys as I get old enough to use them.  

My brother, Logan, is very interested in helping me play with them.  He makes sure I swing at a high speed and changes the song when he gets bored with the one I'm swinging to.

Although I am content and all smiles when I am in my bouncer, Logan likes to make it more interesting.  He tries to show me the attached toys and wants me to look at them.  

In this picture, he is trying to put a toy construction cone on my head.  At first, I was startled...

But, I realized it's just my brother being silly, so I owned it!

I love being silly with my brother!  I am such a happy baby and my brother is a playful big boy!

Aunt Lindsey & Uncle Josh's Wedding... According to Logan

On September 7th, 2013, Aunt Lindsey married Josh! I was so excited to be her special ring bearer.  I got all dressed up in what I like to call my "penguin suit"

 At the end of the wedding ceremony, I walked up the aisle carrying a sign that read, "Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Fragoso!"  I walked very slow and looked extra cute!  I had to make sure I got everyone's attention so they were ready for Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Josh to walk up the aisle!

Tyler was at Aunt Lindsey's wedding, too!  He hung out with Nona Penny and Grandpa Mike in the back of the church so he could hear what was going on.  

It was fun to get all dressed up and to be with all of my family! (Even Tyler wore a tuxedo onesie!)

After the wedding, Tyler and I went to Aunt Jen and Uncle Dominick's apartment for the night.  We got to play and gave the other grown ups a chance to enjoy themselves, too!

Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Josh went to the beach for their honeymoon.  When I heard they were going on an airplane, I asked them to bring me back a cloud.  They brought me a bunch of pictures of the clouds.  My brother and I got some cool gifts from Mexico!

Bears... According to Logan

We went to the zoo with my buddy Colton.  I was SO excited to see the bears! I talked about it for an entire day before we went.  When we were at the store, I spotted a big bear shirt, and I told my Mommy that I had to have it to wear to the zoo! When we got there, I liked looking at all of the animals... until it was finally time to see the bears!

As soon as I got to the bear exhibit, I ran up to the glass and yelled, "Bears!! Hey, bears!! You match me shirt!!"  I was super excited to tell them because I had been waiting so long to show them my shirt.  The bear kept on playing in the water, so I told my Mommy, "They no answer me!"  I tried a few times to tell the bears that they "match me shirt" but I think they were too busy!

There is a chance that they might have heard me, because when I turned around to get my picture by them, one stood right behind me!!  I didn't know it at first, so I kept smiling for my picture.  Soon, I turned around and realized that the bear wanted to play with me!! I loved watching the up-close show that the bear put on for me.

 

Tyler and I picked out a cuddly tiger at the gift shop.  

Guess what!!??  When we were walking through the zoo, we saw my Great Nona Liz! I didn't expect to see her there! We were both surprised and happy to see each other! (Tyler, too!!)

Apple Picking... According to Logan

Last weekend, my family and I went apple picking!  I had so much fun wearing my rain boots and running around the apple farm.  I looked at all the apple trees and pulled really hard to try to get apples off of the tree!  Daddy helped lift me up high to reach the apples that were on the top of the tree.  I had so much fun!!

I was excited to show off my apples!

 

When we got home, I tasted one of the apples and was quick to tell my Mommy that I thought they tasted "weird!"

I love to have conversations with grown-ups who talk to me in friendly voices.  I smile, laugh and coo at them.  I usually have quite a lot to say! However, as soon as Mommy puts that pink phone in front of my face, I get distracted and forget what I am talking about.
She did catch a part of one of our conversations in this video:

Fall fun... According to Logan

My Mommy took me to a place that has a lot of fall decorations.  I was super excited to see all of the pumpkins and the spooky things.  It was even more exciting because we got to go with my friends Taylor and  Blake. We had so much fun running around the entire place, looking at every little thing and laughing with each other. 

Tyler stayed in his stroller most of the time, but he was alert and excited to see pumpkins for the first time!

 There were a lot of pumpkins, so it was hard to pick. But, I was able to find a good pumpkin for me and a little pumpkin for Tyler!

A few of the decorations were scary.  We made our scared faces and I told my Mommy that I thought it was "spooky!"

We put on funny glasses. It was hard to see out of them, but it was fun to wear them!

Tyler tried them on, too!

As soon as we got home, I was excited to take my pumpkin out of the bag to see it again.  I decided to put it on the mantle, so I can see it everyday.  Each time I see them, I say "Me pumpkin, Ty's pumpkin!"

We did the same fun trip last fall.  Look at what a difference a year makes!!

Bath Time... According to Logan

Ever since my first birthday party, everyone has known that I love bath time! I love to splash and play in the water.  But, people might be surprised to find out that my baby brother loves bath time, too!!  He is so calm in the water and just looks around as he gets washed.  I love when Tyler gets a bath because my parents let me help!  I am my parents' assistant as I hand them the soap and towel and I sit on the edge of the bath tub and watch.  

After Tyler gets all dried off, it's my turn! I still love playing with my bath toys and squirting my Daddy! 

With an active toddler and a drooling, pooping infant, we don't stay clean for long! When we are clean, we are even more cuddly than usual!
