New dress

Here is a dress that I made Aurora last night. It will fit for about a day, but here it is nonetheless...





And here is Logan modeling the Max hood Don wore for halloween...

Best laugh evah

Baby Aurora's new laugh...

Steps and H1N1 vaxes

Aurora took steps! Last weekend she took her first three uassisted steps at our friend's house. Whoa! At 10 mths, 3 months earlier than Logan. We are so unprepared for a wobbly walker. Yay! and *sigh* I would like her to stay a baby a little bit longer. She clearly has other ideas.

Today we were told of a local H1N1 vax clinic where there was no waiting. What? We totally high-tailed it over there and everyone got shot. Logan was BY FAR the most offended, he really hasn't gotten over it yet despite the fact that it doesn't even hurt anymore. Regardless he informed me that I should get off his bed at night-night because I :gave: him the shot and he didn't want it. Oh well. I guess today I am horrible. I am ok with that. :-)

Overheard

On the way home from Ms T's yesterday Logan and I were discussing what days he and his buddy Ren are together at daycare. For the record, Logan and Ren go together on Tuesday and Thursday. Logan goes again on Friday and Aurora obviously goes all the days...

Me: So where do you go on Monday?
Logan: TeTe's?
Me: Let's try again.
L: School!
Me: That's right!
L: Daddy picks me up from school. I only like it when Daddy picks me up.
Me:Oh, you don't like it when I pick you up? Even from TeTe's?
L: No. I want Daddy to do it every day. Only Daddy!

Thanks kid. Can you tell he is going through a Daddy phase?

Sad Day

Well, it is a sad day in our house. Don has been closely following baseball as the PA team tried to make it to the top again. Oh well, next year! (I am not-so-secretly doing a happy dance that we can FINALLY watch something else, and that Gl.ee won't be bumped for the dullest game on earth...)

Here is how the playoffs progressed according to Logan:

Figgies smash up Colorado
Figgies beated up the Rogers
Figgies lose to the Ankies, poor Figgies.

As much as I dislike baseball, I sure am going to miss hearing Logan talk about the Figgies and their various opponents (who knew there would be a whole team of Rogers?).

Happy Halloween!

Says the bee and the dinosaur (dragon) with pink spots... I was a flower and Don was Max, King of all Wild Things...

New hair!

Big days

It seems as though life got infinitely busier with the start of school. Everyone execpt Aurora is attending class in one form or another. Logan started preschool two days a week (it is going well), Don is back teaching the night class and elementary school, and I am taking a serger class every Wednesday night. Add general life craziness and it has been pretty wild. And I can't believe it is October. Wha?

Aurora is growing like a weed and is starting to cut her first tooth. A bump on the gum confirms it, in addition to her surly mood of late. The kid is generally so happy that any crabbiness is noticed immediately. So now we have a reason! She also started doing the sign (we are teaching her basic sign language) for milk. Hooray! Now she can tell me when she is hungry. And last but not least she stood on her own yesterday for a couple seconds. She is barely a baby anymore.

Logan taught Aurora how to hold hands yesterday. I couldn't leave them to get a camera because they were on the bed (Aurora crawls off immediately). It was adorable and they both stayed still for a considerable period of time with hands locked. My heart melted...
