Red, White and Blue

Happy 4th of July! Today Jon and I tried to sleep in since it was a holiday and we went to bed way too late last night, but Logan wasn't having any of it. Dang.

So instead we played around the house, and since I am still a bit sore (I started carrying Logan a tiny bit today) I whipped out his trusty red wagon for him to ride around the house in (and so I could PUSH rather than carry). Feeling patriotic, I took the opportunity to get in a few red, white and blue shots for the day. Well, mostly red and blue, with a little star-spangled blanket mixed in for good measure.


We spent the afternoon at the Hicksons for a big BBQ bash. All of our friends made it which was good fun. And as everyone noted, Logan's latest (development?) little trick is GROWLING. Not just one or two growls - it's NONSTOP growling in these here parts. He just can't get enough! It's quite entertaining, especially when he tenses up and shakes with excitement at the same time. :) He also got to try some fresh juicy watermelon for the first time today - and absolutely LOVED it (he seemed to like packing away a little piece in each cheek pocket to suck on while playing.... watermelon-flavored slobber anyone?)

We left before the fireworks started, since our little guy passed out from all the activity (and Mommy can take watching only SO much Guitar Hero). Of course, I forgot my camera, but I'm sure one of the other Moms will be posting pics of the day up soon....so come back later for some updated links on this post!
