Best dental visit ever!

Today June & Logan had their first official visit to the dentist. They saw the best dentist in the world, Dr.Stevens (AKA Daddy)! 

June was first

Logan was very chipper while waiting thanks to YouTube on Aaron's phone!

Then it was his turn.

Happy, wiggly boy!

Then it was my turn. I love getting my teeth cleaned! The hygienist did a great job. Aaron checked my teeth (and found two small cavities, which I couldn't even see on the x-rays, but I GUESS I'll trust his professional opinion). The kids did great during my turn due to the double stroller, our laptop playing Peter Pan, & some very nice ladies from Aaron's office!

I'm so happy with how it went today that I think I'll cook 

dinner for our dentist tonight!

Music Time & Walking

One of Logan's favorite things is music time. He gets giddy whenever we turn on his playlist, & comes racing into the living room (in fact, he just hearn my watching these videos of him & I could hear him on the other room singing along as he raced in here)! Here he is listening to The Wheels on the Bus. He was playing with a flashlight , so was a little distracted. In the first video he makes a face that I call his "big smile." He also makes the same face when we ask him to flex his muscles!

Logan has been walking for about a month. He loves it & is starting to get really fast! He loves being on two feet, as it allows him to get into more things & he loves being on the same level as June:)
