The ups and downs of life!

I've been away from my blog a little too long. I had back-to-back cases of the tummy flu and then topped it off with a head cold so I've spent most of my free time laying on the couch trying to get better. I think I finally feel normal again.

Logan is becoming more and more alert and aware of his surroundings. He can sit up with a boppy around him for a few seconds before he gets excited and tips over. He can roll over and pivot around on his tummy pretty easily. If he's on his back he can now push himself with his feet all over the floor. If he gets his eye on something, he'll find a way to get to it! He's still just the happiest baby. He likes to hear the sound of his own voice and coos and babbles all of the time now. I just started him on cereal this week. At first he'd just spit it back out but by the third try he thought getting to eat from a spoon was the coolest thing ever. He wouldn't take his eyes off of the spoon and would just make this "ooooh!" face and kick his feet in anticipation of the next bite. I'm hoping to try some avocado and sweet potato with him this weekend.


"Give me that spoon!"




Brenden is your typical two year old. When he's up, he's really up, and when one little thing doesn't go his way, the whole world comes crashing down. The other day he had a bowl with some cereal in it and one fell on the floor and Sean threw it in the trash and Brenden proceeded to scream and cry by the trash can for 15 minutes afterward! He's learning to talk a lot more now that he's in a 2yr old class at daycare. He says the funniest things. The other day he was taking a bath, stood up and peed and as he was peeing he looked up and said "ooh! Its yeyyow!" Or the other day we had to give him some children's ibuprofen. The little medicine cup looks like a shot glass so we handed it to him and said "here, take your shot of medicine" He tipped it back and when he was done he said "Yay shot!" Maybe we shouldn't call it that from now on? :) He's getting better about saying what he needs. If his nose is running he will say "tissue" to let us know or says "biper" when he needs a diaper. He can count to 10 now and its so cute to hear him going "one, doo, fee, four, fise,sick, seben, eight, nine, den." He gets confused sometimes, especially once he gets past 5 but most of the time he gets it right. We are working on teaching him his ABC's now. He loves to play with balls/balloons, puzzles, crayons, play-doh, and mama & dada! We are his favorite toys :) He also likes for me to go to the Wiggles web site and play some of the interactive games there.

Things have been a little hectic in the Pray home. Sean lost his job a few weeks ago and that has been a little stressful. We continue to hope and pray something will work out for him. He qualified for unemployment so that will at least keep our heads above water until he can find something else. He's had a few prospects, but the application/interview process is long and time-consuming. A week in the business world goes by quickly, but a week of unemployment drags on for an eternity. So keep praying that something will work out for us.

Next weekend we are getting both boys baptized. I can't believe I've waited this long but it seems like something was always coming up and we never got on the list to make the baptism schedule.Then before I knew it Brenden was 2! They will finally be baptized together on March 7th. I am looking forward to getting that done. I'm going to a big consignment sale this weekend in hopes of finding them some cute little baptism outfits.

Even with our run of bad luck, I am still incredibly blessed to have such sweet, adorable little boys. They continue to give me a reason to smile every day!
