Fun at Redbirds Game

Tonight we went to a Memphis Redbirds game, and we had a blast! We thought it would be a good activity for Logan because it is outside, there are lots of people to look at, there is great food, and he can be as loud as he wants! We opted for seats rather than sitting on the bluff because we did not want to spend the whole game chasing Logan in a wide-open area.

We had a very nice group from Jonesboro sitting in front of us during the game, and there were several girls around age 6 who entertained Logan just about the entire time.  At one point, they had him hugging them one after another.  It was hilarious! I just had to take a picture (with my phone hence the quality) of our little ladies man and his three admirers during the hugging game...

We will definitely go back to another game soon!  We made it two hours and decided to head home at bedtime even though Logan was still happy. Much better to leave with a happy toddler than a screaming one!

My Big Backyard

Logan was out of "school" today for the Easter break, so I took off work to hang out with him.  Our friends Shea and Jack (who were also off for the Easter break) invited us to go to "My Big Backyard" at the Botanic Garden this morning, and we had a blast!  I have always heard about it, but we have never been before. There are lots of things to do for kids (and adults!) of all ages.

I knew from other people's pictures that there were areas for kids to get wet in, but I was not planning on doing that day since it was only about 70 degrees when we got there.  However, as soon as Logan heard the fountains, he screamed "water" and headed straight toward them! I tried to stop him, but he was so excited that I finally let him go.  Here are some pictures of Jack and Logan from the morning.  They both had a great time and are in the middle of long afternoon naps now! We will definitely be going back soon.

Happy Easter & Happy 21 Months!

Happy Easter! This is one of the best pictures I took of Logan today- he never sits still and is not interested in taking pictures, either!  We spent the weekend in Nashville and went to the Easter Service at Brentwood Baptist Church today.  We had a great time!

Logan is 21 months old as of today, and his biggest development is certainly his speech.  He can say almost anything he wants to these days, and he is saying a lot of phrases too.  Sometimes we can even have successful conversations, and it is so sweet and helpful to know what he is saying and needs or wants.  Some of the recent phrases he has said this week include, "this is cute," "I see Kaylie (his cousin)," and "this is loud." Definitely the sweetest thing he says is "wuv you."  He will want me to kiss both of his hands, then his head, and then he will say "wuv you!"  It is definitely the sweetest thing in the world!

Here are some pictures from the weekend.  We went to Cheekwood in Nashville for an Easter Egg hunt and some outdoor play time on Saturday, and then we took some pictures after church today. He is always on the go!
