Dinosaur Cake

The making of Dinosaur Cake

Step 1: pull all the supplies needed

Step 2: prep baker

Step 3: mix batter

Step 4: pour into cool, new, heavily greased pan

Step 5: bake till done

Step 6: remove from pan and cool

Step 7: take a break and attend a baby shower

Step 8: decorate with hubby

Step 9 : well this would be enjoy, but since it was late we waited till the next day, except I was getting a scratchy throat and later the shakes and woke up with a cold. Aiden enjoyed them immensely but I kept forgetting to get a picture of him devouring a piece.

Logan - 10 months

Logan is just a couple days shy of 10 months. Here's what he's doing:

First off he pulled himself to his feet today!

He's been developing his motor skills of late. Sat himself up on 12/30, crawled on hands and knees 1/10 though he still prefers the army crawl, pulled to knees on 1/12 and now on his feet today. He's getting into everything!

Says "ba ba ba" all the time
plays peek-a-boo
plays with toys on his own and with Aiden
sleeps really well and eats good
is learning to drink form a cup...likes juice!
still drooling constantly but no sign of teeth yet.

-----------------------------------------------
A side note, Aiden is all excited for his party on the 31st. Dino themed of course.

Digital Layout

Okay, there is lots that I could be catching up on...holidays, Logan turning 9 months, my computer dieing and getting a new one. I hope to get to all of these very soon.

But right now I'm just giddy with excitement because I just created my first ever digital layout! OK it uses a template provided from my current class (DYL at Big Picture Scrapbooking) but still I DID IT!

and here it is:

I'm just loving this. Now back to playing.
