Audrey's First Foods

Second children are handled differently than first children, everybody knows this. I was trying not to fall into this trap, however, it just sort of happens. Anyway, Audrey's first food was not the usual rice cereal. No Audrey's first food was a tortilla chip. We were playing games and Ben was eating chips. Audrey kept watching it and then she would kind of dive for the chip, so Ben decided to let her try it out. After the tortilla chip, we gave her rice cereal and she did pretty well for a first timer. P.S. These videos were taken June 11 when she was 5 months old.

John Deere Green

Logan got a tractor with a wagon for his birthday. At first, he couldn't figure out how to make it go, but then he discovered that if you stand on the pedal it moves. He was not very good at steering while standing, but still enjoyed his new ride. I think his favorite part about his tractor is that fact that it has a radio. As soon as he goes out in the garage, he will turn it on. Sometimes, he picks a good station, other times it is questionable (Spanish music channel).

Random Places

We sometimes find Logan sleeping in places other than his bed. For example,

in our bed (June 5, 2011)

in the hall (August 30, 2011)

Logan's Birthday

We got Logan a pool for his birthday. He enjoyed playing in it until it got TOO HOT. (We had 58 days where it was 100+ degrees.)

Filling the pool.

THE PARTY We had a water party for Logan's 2nd birthday. It was a huge success! A pool and sprinkler are the easiest entertaining ideas for kids. Everyone had a great time.

I made cupcakes for the occasion.

We had peanut butter cupcakes with chocolate frosting, placed to look like a football and creamsicle cupcakes decorated like soccer, baseball, and basketballs.
