Fun and Busy Week!

This past week was very busy, but fun-filled!  On Sunday, we finally made it to the fair after everyone recovered from being sick.  We had a great time hanging out with Shelley and JJ, riding rides, and eating lots of yummy food!  Sunday night we went to a Reformation Celebration with our friends Dave and Beth.  The party was on a farm so when Logan saw the animals, he ran over and starting making all of their sounds at each animal as soon as he saw them.  We just missed the horse rides, but Logan did get to sit on top of one of the friendly horses.  Monday we went to a Halloween party at Red Hat where Logan seemed to be right at home running around where Daddy works!  Tuesday was spent catching up on errands, then Wednesday we made it back to Storytime at the library where we made some new friends!  Logan gets so excited about going to the library.  He walks in and says "book, book!"  He's actually said "storytime" before too!  One of his favorite things to do is read books.  He has a great attention span, sitting and reading several books at a time.  He showed off for our friend Beth the other day by getting out his baby word book and naming tons of pictures, then pointing to the ones we asked him about along with all of his body parts (he knows hair, head, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, teeth, fingers, hands, arms, elbows, belly, belly button, legs, toes, feet)!  He doesn't always "perform" when you ask, but then sometimes he surprises you and counts to three or sings his ABCs to E!  Beth asked him to go get her keys for her in the other room, and he went and brought them to her.   He is following directions really well now, but Logan is always a ham for Beth!  

Back to our week though, Thursday is music day where Logan loves to dance, then Friday we went to the NC Museum of Natural Sciences with Logan's friends Grace and Natalie (unfortunately we forgot to take pictures, but I'm sure we'll go back!).  Logan loved all of the huge globe exhibits...he kept exclaiming "ball, ball!"  He also loved the butterfly conservatory where the tropical butterflies fly all around you.  Then Friday night for Halloween we went over to the Scotts' house to go on a "hay ride" (hay on a trailer pulled behind the 4 wheeler!) and trick or treat.  What a blast!  When I told Logan we were going on a hay ride he repeated hay, but it sounded more like he thought I was saying "hey".  He repeats words constantly now, and builds his vocabulary more and more every day!  Then Saturday we went to Cary Band Day which was a parade of bands through downtown Cary.  Logan LOVED it!  We are definitely going to have to put him in a music class soon!  That will probably be one of his Christmas presents.  He asks to play music at home every day  (he usually dances with Mommy around the house!).  You'll have to check out the video of him dancing.
