Crawlin' Boy

I apologize for not posting for a while. I can't give my friends [I won't name names...Nicole] crap about not posting on their blogs if I don't post more often myself, so I'll make a point to work on that.

Yes it's official Logan is crawling. He's still really slow at it most of the time unless he really wants something in which case he picks up the pace. Sunday he started to figure out how to move his arms along with his legs. He still cheats sometimes and goes down on his belly and reaches for stuff, but he's really getting the hang of it. He was hanging out on the living room floor last night while Brian and I were eating dinner and we watched him crawl over to the lamp and start pulling on the cord. Of course we got up and picked him up, but we're going to have to start watching him like a hawk or putting him in his playpen or he's going to be every where...as I'm sure all the fellow moms with crawling babies can identify with. :-)

Here are a few videos of Logan getting around.





Daycare is going great! Logan just loves Nicole and Connor (and Ben). He's done great the last two days, just hanging out with Connor watching him play. It won't be long and Logan will be able to play right along with Connor.

Things happening at the ranch...

Brian had an interesting Sunday...he decided to take his boat and the dogs to the river for a little while. Just to throw the dummies for the dogs and relax. He got to the river, cranked the boat up and headed down river. He got about 15 min. down river and decided to stop and throw the decoy for the dogs. He was up on the shore throwing the decoy into the water so Ruger could work on marking and fetching. Well he had thrown the decoy into the river a pretty long way for Ruger to go get, but of course Tank thought he could go too. So Brian ran down the bank of the river to stop Tank from going after Ruger cause it was just too far out into the water for Tank, but when he got into the water it was really slimy and mucky and he slipped. Well there also happened to be a bunch of muscles and shells there as well so when he slipped he cut his foot wide open. He's got two cuts about 3 inches long on the bottom of his foot. So he decided to get back into the boat and head back. Well he quickly discovered it be a long walk back to the landing...his boat motor wouldn't start. So with a cut foot and two dogs he starts to pull his boat back to the landing. The river is really low so he could walk pretty much all the way, but there was a spot half way back where he had to get in the boat and start rowing. He had an emergency boat paddle with a duck retriever on the end of it in the boat. Well of course the paddle snaps in two. So he dives into the water to get the other half of the boat paddle cause he's pissed and he wants to take it back to Fleet Farm and say, "Here take your piece of sh!t boat paddle and shove it where the sun don't shine." But he doesn't discover until he's back at the landing that the $250 dog collar controller fell into the river when dove into get the paddle. So his little relaxing trip to the river ended up costing us about $500 by the time we replaced the dog controller ($239) and the boat motor (~$200 + tax). The best part is he left to go to the river at 3:55 and I got home about 4:05. If he would have waited 10 more min. he probably wouldn't have even gone to the river. Oh well....bad days happen I guess. When the world gives you lemons....His foot is going better now, but it's a really hard injury to heal. He got up Monday morning to go feed Logan and tore the scabs that had formed that night wide open again. But don't think that stopped him from bowling Monday night....and beating me unfortunately...

Well Brian and I are officially bowlers now. Last night we bought ourselves balls, shoes and bags. Now the only thing left is to find out how good of bowlers we're going to be. League starts Sept. 8th. We're not bowling the first night we're just going to go with and watch to see how it's done. Obviously we know how to bowl, but it will be good to see how the league operates and everything. I'm looking forward to it, the only thing that I know I'm going to hate is the smoke. We went in this Monday for the league meeting and free bowling afterward, there were two people in the bowling alley smoking and I had the worst headache after. I'm going to be in serious trouble when the the lanes are filled with people puffing away...

I thought I would throw on a few misc pictures from Camp. Most of them of course are of Logan, but a few extras....







Do you think they look alike now?




Don't ask....
