Happy Birthday Logan!

Today Kyle and I went to his friend, Logan's birthday party at My Gym in the Kentlands. Kyle went to one other birthday party there a few months ago and has been wanting to go back ever since, so today was finally the day! He had a great time! They have lots of free play time on all their fun equipment and they played some fun games including a bean bag race, freeze dance, and red light/green light. He got to eat some yummy cake with a "Cars" theme and got a fun goodie bag filled with lots of fun treats!

Max cuteness

Max gets so excited when Jason comes home from work! He loves to imitate his silly sounds and movements by making clicking sounds, blowing bubbles, shaking his head, and one time he even got a little "cha-cha-cha" out of him! Max has also recently discovered his toes and loves to put them in his mouth! Here is a cute video of Max and Daddy. He decided all on his own to lean his head down slowly toward Jason's face and Jason kissed him on his forehead. He thought it was great and did it over and over again! Also, here are a couple of recent photos of our 11 month old boy - I can't believe he's going to be one next month!

Fall Picnic

The past 2 years we have gone to Oktoberfest at Ridge Road Park and were thinking about going again this year. Instead we decided to avoid the crowds and headed over to Adventure Playground to play and have a family picnic. I love the fall! It was a perfect day.

Chick-Fil-A

Today after I picked Kyle up from preschool we went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch and ended up spending 2 hours there since the boys were having so much fun! We had a yummy lunch and then spend most of our time in the play area. Kyle made 2 new friends that he had fun playing with, but at least half the time we were there we had the play area to ourselves so I got lots of cute pictures of the boys playing. It's fun that Max can play too now!

Tot Lot Friends

We had an impromptu playgroup at our house today. Jasper, Alexander and Jack, Clayton, and Ava all joined us! Kyle loves having his friends over to play and Max is making friends, too. It was a fun day! I didn't get my camera out till near the end, but I included a couple cute ones I was able to get.

Bathtime Fun

Max recently discovered that he can splash water with his feet! He's very serious about his task, but pauses every once in awhile to smile as if saying "Look what I can do!" He was quite vigorous with the splashing at first even getting me wet! This video was taken as he was winding down, but he spent a good 10 minutes splashing his feet in the water! It's so cute to watch him discover something new.

Ma and Pa

Ma and Pa came for a visit today. Kyle has been waiting weeks for them to come! Two weeks ago he asked me when they were coming to visit again and I told him they would be here in a couple weeks. So every day he's been asking me "Is it a couple weeks yet?" They brought the new Thomas movie "The Great Discovery." It's a full length Thomas movie that just came out this month - Kyle was VERY excited! He also got motorized Percy and a BIG Thomas coloring book. It was a fun day filled with lots of train play, outside play, coloring, and exploring Ma's purse (a favorite activity of Kyle's). Max was entertaining as always with his cute smiles and babbling. At one point Max and Kyle decided to have a screaming contest which they both found absolutely hilarious! We had subs for lunch and ordered pizza for dinner - yummy! Dinner was accompanied by the Eagles/Steelers game on TV. Jason is a big Philadelphia Eagles fan and my Dad is a Pittsburgh Steelers fan so they both had to see this game!! The Eagles won of course (sorry Dad:)). It was a fun day and nice to see them as always!!!
