A busy month! - 8 months old

We have had one BUSY month! Our first goal for the month was to get some pictures taken. We missed the traditional 6 month portraits, so we got them done for his 7 month birthday for Mother's Day gifts. 

As the weather allows, we have been enjoying our local park, including the first ride in a big-boy swing.

First play date at our house:

And we're still working on getting the first tooth to pop through...

Mother's Day was very special. It was a whole Mother's Weekend, actually. Saturday Mommy got to go to the salon and get a mani-pedi. Then we all went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch, and out for a little shopping. Sunday we drove up to Milwaukee and visited Jason's parents and grandparents, and then to Tia Erin's house where we had a BBQ and visited with Nannie, Bapaw, and Auntie Devin.

The day after Mother's Day was special too!  It was Heather's Granny's 90th birthday, and the day that we were travelling to North Carolina to meet Great-Grandma Lois!  You have never seen a baby so excited to meet someone... he smiled, and grinned, and made noises, and reached right for her... and smacked her square in the face.  Sorry Grandma, but that's what rough and tumble boys are about!!  We were in NC all week, and got to visit Greensboro and Sanford. Our visit even coincided with a visit from Great-aunt Linda and Great-uncle Roger, from Montana.  Mommy, Tia Erin, and Nannie Paula all travelled with Logan.

And Grand-daddy Bud, GranJoan, and Auntie Christine met us in Sanford!

Today being Logan's 8 month birthday of course we had to have a photo shoot.  We are pretty sure that soon everyone will think we only bathe him once a month on his birthday, but this shoot happened in the tub because we're trying to make the transition to the big boy bath.  The most important lesson there is "DON'T STAND UP!" And this bath was extra special because Grandma Lois gave Logan some of Mommy's bath toys from when she was his age.  Thanks Grandma, they are a BIG HIT!!

So on the cusp of Logan's ninth month we bid you an early good night so that Daddy can go trim his beard a little shorter...
