Logan - March 2010

As you can tell by the pictures, Logan's favourite toy right now is his play food. He could play with it all day long. He is really starting to play "pretend" and it is funny to see him acting things out with his toys. His other favourite thing to play with right now is his puzzles. I recently rearranged the toy area and brought the shelving unit down from his room. Now all his puzzles are on one shelf and he can talk them out and play with them whenever he likes. He has gotten really good at all of them except for the alphabet ones. He is pretty good about reciting his alphabet, but he still doesn't recognize a lot of the letters. He does really good though if I ask him where something is, for example, grapes, and he can put the letter 'G' in the spot with the grapes.

Now that spring is around the corner and we have had a couple of days of good weather, Logan is really looking forward to being able to play outside. It is very hard to get him to come inside without a lot of persuasion.

Graysen - 8 Months Old

Wow! Graysen is 8 months old already. I still can't believe how fast my baby girl is growing. She is now 17lbs and 27 inches long. Her weight gain has finally plateaued since Christmas since she has started sitting up and is becoming more active. She still hates being on her tummy and I really doubt that she will ever crawl. She is starting to try and pull up and loves to stand up holding on to something. She also now has 2 teeth and working on a couple more. She is eating solid food and pretty much loves to eat anything we are eating.

In other news, we recently moved Graysen to a full size mattress in her own room. She had been sleeping in bed with me pretty much since she was born. She really does not like her crib and has refused to sleep there. She had been waking up anywhere from 2-8 times per night and I was really needing some sleep so we decided to try this option and it seems to be working out pretty well. She is generally waking once a night and has actually slept through the entire night once already.
