Logan and the Amish

My family and parents went to Shreve in order to get our Christmas tree. We saw a horse and buggy across the street and the horses were in a full run. Logan said, "Wow Mom, they haven't used those since the eighties!"

Elliot Update

Elliot has been teething. He has stopped taking a bottle completely and is horrible for anyone keeping him who isn't able to nurse him. (Although, he does LOVE Lilly, his babysitter's daughter.)

He enjoys rolling over into peril and gumming toys. He also enjoys blowing raspberries. He has drooled himself into an itchy mess around his chin and has what has been described as a "backwards goatee."

Elliot rolls back and forth grabbing his toes while blowing occasional wet berries for the family.

He has been nicknamed Mini but has recently been going by the alias Boo. This is because Connor can pronounce Boo and heard me call him Boo Boo Bear one time. It has stuck and Connor uses it often.









Connor Updates

Noug Nougs (pronounced Nuck Nucks) - Chicken Nuggets.

Yesterday he was asking for Noug Nougs for breakfast. . .so I made him eggs and yogurt. He ate his food and then asked immediately again. I stopped and got him nuggets on the way to my mom's. He started crying when he went in and was yelling, "No! Ma noug nougs. No! Dock" Because Chester was coming toward him to say hello.

I spied on Kevin and Connor last night. Kevin was reading in his rocking chair and Connor was laying in his crib. He had his leg up in the air, crossed over onto his other leg. His book was balanced on his leg and he was reading, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie," and chuckling.

Connor has been painting his face with his food. He got a small container of baby oreos and has been licking each one and running it on his face until he is covered in blackness. He also does this with yogurt, syrup, and anything else he can find.











Logan's definitions

Logan saw Christmas lights at the Hickeys. He was trying to decide what shape the lights made and said that they looked like a "Medieval Mickey Mouse." I asked him what medieval meant and he said, "You know Mom! When it is mostly evil but still a little good."
