Logan

Logan will turn 3 years old on Friday, July 9th! I don't know where the time has gone. It seems like yesterday he was the baby I was holding, but now he will be 3 and Landon is definitely not a baby.

Landon is already beginning to talk. He knows mama, dada, bubby (Logan), Papa, ju (juice) and his favorite is the word BALL! He loves pointing to things and asking, "oooh, what's that?" I've also heard him say Dvd after Logan said it. He runs and tries to jump. It's amazing how well he is already starting to talk. I guess he learns faster because he watches Logan. I don't know when he decided to become a toddler! My boys are growing too fast.

It's great to have the summer off from work, but I am kept busy with school and working with kids at a local recreation summer camp. School is going well. I really enjoy my classes now that I taking things related to my field of work!

I'm sorry I don't post on my blog like I used to. I've been really busy with school, work, and kids! Landon turned 1 on January 21st and we had a monkey themed birthday party.

Landon started walking as his primary mode of transportation January 29th! He already says mama, dada, juice, bubba (brother), nana (his teacher at daycare), and he makes lots of other sounds! I don't think he will have the speech problems Logan had. He has 6 teeth as of today but it looks like there will be more soon! He loves his bubby, Logan!

Logan is 2 1/2 now! He is to smart for his own good. He tested out of speech services with the school board. When he turns 3 his speech therapy will stop.

He knows his shapes, colors, letters, and he counts to 12! He can point to objects and count correctly to 10. He is talking a lot now. He loves to pedal his tricycle and play outside on his play set. We are working on using the potty now. He has a very big imagination, which is great! Goodnight moon is still his favorite book. He loves his Grammy and Papa Bobo and his Mimi and Papa Adams. He is also very stubborn. He does so much now! It is hard to write it all and it would take forever to do!

This semester in school, I am taking Child Psychology and Speech ( something I conveniently neglected to take) ha ha.... Not really. I have to take speech before I can do my education classes.

I've also been suffering from writers block lately... at work with my observations of children and for my blog. I've been in a writing slum...

Who knows when I will blog again! I will be focusing my brain on school!

Celeste

Long Overdue Update

I know it's been a while. You are probably asking yourselves, "Did Celeste fall off the earth?" I am here to say no! I have been very busy with work, school, and children.

First, I will start with work. Work has been good. We have a very good class this year. Yes, they do have the normal 3 year old tendencies and attitudes, but overall, they are great!

School is going well! I made a 96 on my first test in Geography 104! woohooo! The class is very interesting. We use a book that is interesting to read and easy to understand. I am also taking History 150. I'm not sure about my first test in there. The prof is still grading the tests.

Landon starting pulling up on things and is well on his way to being an early walker. He is a very active baby! He loves to play especially with his big brother.

Logan has finally started talking like a young 2 year old. He is doing very well in speech. Logan has even been using the potty for me. He uses the potty regularly in the morning right when he wakes up, after nap, and before he takes his bath at night. He does still use his diaper/pull-up to though. He is becoming such a big boy! He loves cars!

Logan and Landon now share a bedroom. We turned the nursery into a playroom. The kids love their new playroom.

Back to School

I am taking two classes this semester starting on Wednesday and I start back with kids at work on the 24th. I don't know when I will ever have a free moment! ha ha

Hopefully, I can get back in the groove of school and finish my degree! It's way overdue!

Logan and Landon have been in daycare/preschool for 2 weeks now. Logan came home two days in a row with bite marks on his arm. One of them is still visalble 3 days later. So, they finally separated him and the child who beats him up. I'm not happy about the bites, but I am so glad that it's not my Logan doing the biting. He seems to be enjoying daycare now that he is not some one's chew toy. He is very well-behaved, so they tell me! Landon really seems to like his class too.

Logan has started identifying shapes and he also sees a speech therapist once a week. He is really starting to talk well now! He can identify a square, ball (circle), oval, and a star (which is his favorite shape!) He loves to jump and run! And he pedaled his tricycle down our driveway yesterday! He already seems so much older since he turned two!

Landon gets up on his hands and knees now. He has been scooting around for 2 weeks now, but I think he will be crawling on his hands and knees soon! He sits up by himself for a short period of time. He loves to jump in the jump-a-roo!

His favorite thing, though, is watching Logan play! Logan can make Landon laugh when no one else can! Landon will be 7 months old next week! Landon loves and looks up to his brother sooo much!

I want to post a picture of both boys together, but I can't get Logan to sit still long enough to take one!

Logan got his birthday/christmas present! Richard and my cousin, Bryce, did most of the work while I supervised! :-) I did do some of the work though!

Logan loves it!

Look! Landon has two teeth!!

Back to work...

Well, this weekend is my last weekend of school-free freedom! I go back to work on Monday. That means my little ones start daycare on Monday. I'm glad I was able to keep Landon out of daycare for 6 1/2 months! Hopefully, he won't get as sick as Logan did in daycare. I think Logan will be glad to get back into a routine with school. He has been bored at home with his mommy and brother. Logan also starts speech next week!

Landon has cut two teeth and he is army crawling now. Only a month later than Logan did these things. He still doesn't sit up by himself very well. He has a lot of weight to hold up at 18.2 lbs (and growing!)

Logan weighed in at 29 lbs for his 2 year check.

More soon!

King of the carseat, Landon!


I will add a nice update soon! My computer has been giving me a lot of problems lately.
