Happy Halloween!

No, Logan didn't go trick-or-treating this year. Nor did he have any candy (though for the record, he now has 4 teeth!). But he did have a rockin' glow-in-the-dark skeleton outfit that he enjoyed wearing all day. He wore it when he watched football with dad. He slept in it during nap time. He wore it to the grocery store with mom.... You get the point. I'm sure there will come a day in the not-too-distant future when Logan will want to wear his Halloween costume all day when it's not Halloween! And although he freaked out when the first trick-or-treater came to the door (a very intimidating two-year-old in a camouflage batman suit), I have no doubt he'll be a pro come next year! Happy Halloween!

{Sigh} Fall

It's finally feeling like Fall in St. Louis. Say what you will about our Summer's here, but Fall makes up for it in spades. This past week we took a family field trip to the Sculpture Park. We strolled around for a bit and discovered the park is more of a hiking park....pushing a stroller along a wooded trail...not so easy. Although, Logan thoroughly enjoyed the bumpitty-bumpitty of it all! And then we picked a nice open space for Logan to crawl around and explore, while mommy and daddy caught their breath. Logan had so much fun we had to chase him down!

He's gone mobile!

Logan put it all together yesterday. After some fits and starts the past weekend, he put one foot, er, knee, in front of the other and crawled for the first time.
It wasn't easy to lure him to do it again with the camera on. I had to tempt him with my BlackBerry and when I pulled it back as he reached me he gave me the death stare...geez, I wonder where he learned that from? (There's a full screen video HERE).

An Autumn Day in the Park

Today Logan played at the park for the very first time.

The swing seemed to be the biggest hit of the adventure.
Followed by going down the slide (held by mom of course!).

Even chillin' under the jungle gym, feeling the texture of the cushiony playground (and attempting to pick up every single piece of debris to sample) seemed to be a lot of fun!

Now that the weather has finally cooled off, there will certainly be more adventures to the park!

Another BIG first today....Logan began crawling!!! The playground will never be so low-key!

Stay tuned for pics (and maybe video, if mom can figure out how to be so tech-savvy) of Logan on the go...
