Shane is 6 months old!

Shane had his 6 mo ck up. He weighed in at 17.5 lbs, is 26 inches and had a large head. In comparison to Logan at this age he was 1 lb heavier, 1.5 inches shorter and the SAME size head. He will be practicing sitting and rolling this month. He loves to eat his rice cereal and applesauce. So far he was not fond of sweet potatoes but we will keep trying. Next up will likely be peas. I will post some photos of his sweet potato experience soon. Shane went for his first swim two days ago. It was a shocker. He wasn't quite ready for the cool water.

Green Thumbs

Some garden updates. Here Tim planted some rose bushes. There is a girl in the squadron who wanted these rose bushes out of her garden. She said if Tim would dig them up, he could have them. We thought it would be nice to have some grown plants in the new yard. They looked fantastc until they went into shock from the transplant. We hope they will come back!!! Logan LOVES them. He enjoys picking the flowers and walking all around the bushes. Tim will tells him to watch out they are sharp and Logan tells him, "no, no hurt".

Here are the veggies a growing. So far we have enjoyed radishes, spinach, potatoes and onions.


What is that?! Mice!! We found mice making a home in our bbq grill!!! So Tim proceeded to catch them. They were babies so he was able to catch two of them. We went out to Wal-Mart and got a little plastic cage and let Logan keep them. Yes, that is right, we let him keep them. We didnt let him touch them as we dont know what disease they might carry but they were fun to watch. Moxie loved it. sadly they only lasted a few short days. Yes, we fed them and gave them water but when you have a labrador jumping at you etc you are likely to freak out.

Whenever Tim mows Logan mows. This time he has a Popsicle and learned it was hard to eat his popsicle and mow.
Here he is watching Tim mow and eating his popsicle. On the web the photo is so small it ia hard to see.
I potted some flowers. They are growing nicely. I got creative and did a mixture that I am hoping will bloom down the pot a bit.
Another day of mowing...
Mowing is hard work!

I Got Your Finger

Here is Shane flailing about and Logan decides to reach out and play with him. Shane LOVES it when Logan plays with him.

Shane got his finger and he isn't letting go. He holds it close.

This one cracks me up because there is one very tan hand and one very white one. LOL!

Shane 5.5 Months

Here are some shots of Shane that I took today. Love the chubby phase! Now that he has discovered his feet he is always playing with them. It is too cute.

Shane's friends Eri and Leona let him borrow their jumparoo. Here he is in action! I guess you could say he likes it :)

OUCH!!!!

Poor poor Logan fell down and really got hurt. We just came back from a wonderful evening of swiming and bbqing. I think he was a little tired. We were unloading the van and Logan didn't want to go inside. He did his usual run down the sidewalk towards the mailbox and BAM!!!!


He had a nose bleed and a big huge fat lip bleeding everywhere. It was sooo sad! The pictures don't actually look as bad as it does in person. Not to make it out to more drama buuuut....


He just looks so sad and pathetic. Mommy wanted to cry too. These were taken the morning after.
He was so good the next day. In the morning he said it hurt once. After his nap he told me his finger hurt. Hmmmmmmm

Right Around Mother's Day

These were taken right around Mother's day. I am going to take some more recent ones soon. Tim has just come off nights so I am dreaming of having a little more time.

I am looking at this photo of Shane and thinking how this outfit fits perfect now. In this photo it looks like there is some room to grow. Not anymore! Shane is sporting size 9 mos ore 12 mos now. Yikes! I remember this with Logan though. Then at 12 mos it came to a screeching halt. We will see how alike the brothers are.
