Logan's Week of Discovery

What an eventful week this has been!  Ryley has been so busy with his first year clinicals, "sensitive exams", and finals coming up this next week that we have hardly seen him!  Yet, my wonderful sweet husband still finds time to help me with dishes, play with his silly kid, and run errands that take forever with me.  Oh I love that man!  My lovely root canal is almost done... and my tooth is now the most expensive thing I own.  :(  So depressing to think that we could have gone on a cruise with what it has cost for this dumb tooth...or got a new car... or got a new computer....  And we even have amazing dentist friends that have given us awesome discounts.  Oh well.  Thus is life.  

Logan has been the busiest of all with all of his new discoveries.  He has made good friends with the toilet (several times), tried to fit himself under the railing (thank goodness he got stuck), goes up and down the stairs constantly, has found that our couch has a built in slide that makes mommy nervous (which makes it extra fun, of course), found out that the squishy brown stuff in his diaper is gross to eat but oh so fun to play with, that food is more fun to eat when cut into shapes (which means that this is the only way he will now eat food), discovered that carrots and celery can be sneakily hidden in a vase, that   sledding is kind of fun, and that mom keeps that way cool white stuff known as "flour" in a Logan accessible place... (why oh why did I do that?!) He also learned how to do a somersault all by himself.   OH yes.. he has also learned the word "NO" (from a sweet little girl at the park)  and lets me know his opinion on everything... "do you want a bath Logan" "NO!"  "do you want a snack?" "NO!".... And somehow this week my sweet little boy with the occasional tantrum fit has turned into a terrible tantrum throwing 16 month old with occasional sweet moments.   And over the past four days 5:30 in the morning has become his favorite time to play.  

So tired... oh, so tired.  

And yet, I love this little man more every day..

And Spring Break is just around the corner!  

So handsome for Church...which he has discovered he can get out of
by merely arching his back and screaming at the top of his lungs. 

Evidence of the failed escape attempt

Sledding!

Sledding lasted about 5 minutes, and
then we had to come visit the ducks.

Bundled up.

I was so proud that he had eaten all of those carrots that he kept
coming back for... until I saw this.

Celery apparently makes very good swords.

He loves his "cool" glasses.  "Cool" is another one
of his new favorite words.

He knows he's handsome.

Love this little person

I turned around for about 3 minutes to mix my cinnamon rolls...

Saw this heading out of the kitchen....

And feared the worst.

He was so happy with himself!...
I thought, "at least its just flour... flour vacuums up."
Why didn't I just assume that Logan would then go lick all of his flour piles?
FYI- Wet flour is MUCH harder to get up than dry flour.
That was a very long night. :)

Logan somersaulting all by himself!
