Thanksgiving

Logan's first Thanksgiving was really fun.  Here's some pictures from it:

 

 

 

 

Logan's first time holding and eating solid food!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a very nice day.  It's so awesome that we live here now, by family. I know Logan will love growing up here.

This year has gone by so fast, and there's so much I'm thankful for.  This is definitely one of the best years of my life.

Picnic at the Lake

We took a picnic to the lake today. It was windy, but so pretty and just sunny enough. Logan had a lot of fun playing in the leaves and hiking around in the backpack on Gampaw.

Here's some pictures:

He fell asleep on his first walk of the day.

He passed out completely in the car on the way home, and even stayed asleep for awhile by himself in his playbed.

Logan was so sleepy playing on Gampaw's lap that he just laid his head and went right out.

Go Gators!

Nine Months Old

Logan is nine months old today! I just can't believe how fast time is going. It'll probably slow down when I start school back up, it always does, but Logan just never stops growing and learning.

He's been babbling for a long time now, but his first real words are "Uh oh!" when he drops something. And now he even says when he sees something on the floor.

He went to see his new doctor today, and got a flu shot. No more vaccines until he's a year old, thankfully.

Anyway, here's his official nine month pictures:

Moogle Costume!

Logan's moogle costume is finished, and he wore it a little bit yesterday and tonight while watching treat-or-treaters. He looks so cute in it, I can't believe how good it came out. All I've ever made before were costumes for teddy bears, it was a bit more tough making a full sized one.

Everything is hand sewn and constructed except for the fleece jumpsuit. The ears are white fleece covering cardboard with purple ribbon in the middle. The wings are purple fabric stuffed with fake snow and tacked on to stand up better. The antenna is a foam ball spray painted orange, hung with regular jewelry wire. It bounces naturally like a real moogle's would. I was going to paint his nose pinkish, but decided against it; he's still too little for that and it would just get everywhere methinks.

For those of you that don't know what a moogle is, here's a couple pictures of what they look like:











Here's some other pictures of him. I don't know what he was doing in this one, but it's cute. The next two are of his first walk with Gampaw in his backpack.


Here's an old video I couldn't get to upload last time. This was when we first moved here. Now he can climb the stairs no problem, I'll get a video of that soon to post:



Here's a video of him in the moogle costume. This shows much better how cute he really is in it, and it shows how the antenna bounces and moves naturally. It's not the best costume ever, but I'm definitely proud of it for being a first time making one:
