Brothers

Brothers are lots of fun. We have a Dr Suess book that mentions a brother and a sister. Logan is a quick learn to know Shane is his brother.
Something tells me this won't be the last time I think ... when one smiles the other doesn't. The same goes for when one stops crying, the other starts.
Logan is saying new things every day. It is always very interesting and often very entertaining. Here are a few that humor us. "Stop talking" This is used when he really doesn't like what you are saying like "Logan, please don't pick your nose." or, "Logan it's time to go inside." Another good one is "Daddy do it" or, "Mommy do it". This is heard when he drops his car for the millionth time and wants you to pick it up. Or, he wants his blanket and it is all the way over on the couch. A cute one below is "Hug him, Shane".

That photo really shows how white Shane is. LOL!!!



Seeing Blue Oh And Hats

There seems to be a lot of blue around the house. Here is Logan eating like Moxie. I don't know why it is underlining!!
These are pretty recent shots. Shane is 20 weeks here.

pumpkin head!!!
The Palmer boys like hats! Ole
Shane is practicing his sitting here using his Bumbo chair.
The weather here is coo coo. One day hot and the next not.

Logan got his hair cut and he did NOT cry, scream or pitch a fit!!! I did hear he got a lot of candy.
can you see my hair? There is some creeping in... Today a bald man said, Hey, we have the same hair do!"
I like to grab things now and I started eating rice cereal two days ago!
Just chillin' in the yard.

The Boysss

Here are some recent shots of the guys chillin'




Logan is cute cute with Shane. On occasion he will ask to hold him. Of course I rush to get the camera.

Lady bug lady bug fly away home

Logan loves bugs. He loves to look for them in the grass

and in the dirt.


Here he finds a beautiful lady bug. If she is smart she will fly away. I am working hard to teach him to let the lady bug crawl on him versus him holding her and inevitably smashing her.


Good job Logan! Can you spot the lady bug?

Enter Chubby Phase

I love the chubby phase. Shane weighed in at 15lbs at his 4 mo appt. a few weeks back.

Zoo Fun

Clovis NM has the 2nd largest zoo in NM! It is neat and scary all at the same time. We of course have a family year pass which I think was $25. The tiger is so close it is frightening. I have a funny friend who says she takes a knmife with her in case it jumps out after her. EEK! This is a gorgeous time of year to go to the zoo -- when it is not too windy. It is very green and there are lots of babies.The photos is dark but see if you can spot all the goslings.
We have a runner!
Another nice thing about the zoo -- tiring out the boys.

That was a lot of work, I need a drink! A very large drink.


Putting him to work already. Thankfully right now it is fun.
Have you ever seen an albino peacock? Well, the NM zoo has a few.
Enjoying a little snack with the peacocks.

A close up of Shane riding along. Shane is very very fair skinned aka WHITE. So here is an attempt to shade him.

Logan and Dad learned that turtles like to eat dandelion flowers. Here they enjoy feeding the turtle. Like I said, a lot of the animals are very close.

Always at Play

Throwing up some fairly recent shots. Shane is growing leaps and bounds. He is almost 20 weeks and 15 pounds. He now grabs for toys, smiles, laughs (with a lot of encouragement), and has rolled over.
We made a two hour trip to Target. Yahoo! We bought a few toy boxes for Logan's room. Here they are being put to good use. Right now Logan is in love with the car movie and all the car characters.

Professional Shot

Here is a photo from our visit to the Sears portrait studio. This is also the boys Easter duds. I must say I enjoyed dressing them alike but started to think I was having flashbacks of going to Catholic school. I can't wait to pick out the next outfits. I have to take advantage of being able to dress them while I can. Logan is already trying to pick his clothes in the morning. He will then insist Tim wear the same color shirt.
