No matter how nice Logan is to Liam, he still will not share his biscuit

Logan at his Blue and Gold banquet

Have you seen my biscuit? I'm wearing some of it but can't seem to find the rest...

Liam limping with the biscuit!

We started Liam on the teething biscuits. He really likes them. They get quite messy and he usually drops them on the floor so we often go through about 3-4 at a time. It's nice because the biscuits keep him occupied long enough for us to eat our dinner.

Liam's 7 month birthday!!!

This is actually a day late. For Liam's 7 month birthday yesterday, he got an ear infection. Poor thing was not happy. He's on medicine and Tylenol/Motrin so slept most of the day away yesterday. Today, he felt better and well rested so I thought it would be a better day for his 7 month photo! It's getting harder and harder to keep him still for the birthday photos!

Logan's weekend

Logan's friend's grandfather owns a ranch in Columbus where members can dress up in old western wear, and shoot actual pistols/rifles in old-time western settings. Click this link for more information about the ranch. Logan said they give you different scenarios like in the salloon, you have to slam your beer down on the counter and shoot at some target. Anyway, they were there (shooting stuff!) from about 8:00am and did not get home until after 8:00pm! He was extremely tired, but it sounds like he had a blast. He has a BB gun he shoots quite a bit, and he is very aware of gun safety so I was not worried. I also knew the people that brought him are very responsible. This was his first time to shoot a real gun! I'm so proud :)

My favorite Pitt-Bull ever!

I never even liked these kind of dogs. Julia, my neighbor just bought a puppy Pitt Bull. She's actually really cute. I don't think I have ever seen Pitt Bulls when they are puppies. Her name is Dutchess and she thinks she is a lap dog. She doesn't look like much of a scary attack dog. As a matter of fact, one of our cats snuck up and slapped her a few times yesterday. (Our cats are declawed, so it didn't hurt her-just amused her) Logan loves playing with her!

The greatest invention ever!

Liam has been waking up in the middle of the night with freezing hands, legs, and feet. No matter how many covers we put on him, or how well we tuck the covers around him, he manages to kick them off. We finally found a solution to this and had a great night! We found this blanket-sleeper at Babies R Us. It's like zipping him up in a sleeping bag with arm-holes. It's soft and warm, but not too warm. As you can see in the photo above, he really thinks it's great!
