Thanksgiving... According to Logan!

It was Tyler's first Thanksgiving!  Since it was my third Thanksgiving, I felt like a professional, so I showed him how to celebrate.  We had a fun morning at home eating a special breakfast while watching the parade.  Then, we got dressed in our matching Thanksgiving sweaters!

We headed to Nona Penny and Grandpa Mike's house.  We both had fun playing with everyone! 

 

I had been talking about Thanksgiving dinner for weeks; once it was time to eat, I double-fisted to get as much turkey and mashed potatoes in my mouth as I could!

Tyler and I enjoyed cooling off in the basement. I especially loved playing with Grandpa Mike and the tool bench! I made everyone laugh and they enjoyed hearing me sing my favorite Christmas songs.

 

Tyler and I started to get sleepy, so we took our naps in the car on the way to Grammy Lynn's house!

 

Everyone was excitedly waiting for our arrival.  Tyler and I played with everyone until it was time to eat. 

I was playing in the basement with Uncle Nick when I spotted a nutcracker statue.  I told Uncle Nick, "I love him! I love this nutcracker."  So, naturally, we invited the nutcracker to dinner.  He sat right next to me. 

We had an extra special centerpiece at our table!  Look closely and you will see that baby Tyler joined us at the table! He loved to kick his legs and look around at everyone.  I think he really liked sitting in the middle of everyone; I know that he was looking at our food and wishing that he could eat some!

After dinner, we played Left, Right, Center! I didn't quite understand how the game worked, but I quickly understood that we took turns rolling the dice.  I rolled for Daddy and for Grammy.  With my luck, I helped Daddy win the game!! Afterwards, Aunt Lindsey taught me how to "make it rain..." with his winnings.

 

Tyler and I are so blessed to have so many family members and friends who love us! We are thankful to have each of these people in our lives.  I show them I am thankful by telling them that I love them, snuggling, and happily playing with them.  Tyler shows his thankfulness with smiles, hugs and cuddles. 

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

 

Thanks for reading my blog... I have something to tell you:

Sitting Up... According to Tyler!

I had been working on sitting up for quite a few weeks.  I leaned forward and balanced with my hands on the ground.  Soon enough, I got strong enough to sit up straight all by myself! On Tuesday, November 19, at just 24 weeks old, I mastered sitting up! Now, I am enjoying playing with people and toys from a whole new perspective!

Countdown to the Beach... According to Logan!

When my parents told me that we were going on a vacation to the beach, I was SO excited! I didn't quite understand that I had to wait a couple of weeks before we went, so Mommy and I made a "countdown to the beach" chain for my bedroom door.  Each night, before I went to bed, I would tear off one link.  Then, we would count the number of bedtimes that I had left before we went on the airplane!  I loved doing this and looked forward to it every night! 

We are now back from our vacation, and I can officially say that it was worth the wait!!
(Tyler and I will update with vacation pictures soon!)

Trick-or-Treat... According to Logan

I went trick-or-treating for the first time ever!!  I was looking forward to it for a while. I kept practicing saying, "trick-or-treat" and then saying, "thank you!"  I excitedly got my costume on and went outside early to wait to start.  Tyler got bundled up in his tiger hat and got pushed around in the stroller while I got my candy. 

I was happy to carry my pumpkin bucket and my lion flashlight!

We walked on our own for a couple houses before we met my friend, Blake.  His dad pulled us around in his wagon for a while.  It made it very easy to get to a lot of houses without getting tired!

 I can't believe everyone gave me so much candy! Tyler wasn't really sure what was going on, but he entertained himself!

It started to get cold and dark, so we took my candy back home and I got to sit on the front porch with Daddy to pass out candy to the other kids.  I was SO happy to do this!

I got excited each time kids would come to our front door.  I would say, "happy Halloween" and "nice costume!"  I told them, "please take one!"  Everyone was happy to see me in my lion costume and they all thought I was a very friendly boy!

Later in the evening, I dumped all of my candy onto the ground to see what I got! I was thrilled to see all of the candy; I even got to eat some that night! 

I LOVED trick-or-treating!!

Riding a Tricycle... According to Logan

My Daddy has been working with me to try to teach me how to petal on my tricycle.  I call it my 'motorcycle  bike' and I love to ride it on the sidewalk.  It didn't take long for me to pick up the skill and I ride everywhere! I like to ride after people yelling, "I'm gonna get you!"
