Problems?

I've noticed in the past couple of days that some of you have expressed that you've been having problems viewing my new site.  I'm not sure what is going on. 
 
I had been worried because I though some weren't visiting me because I had moved to Blogger. 
 
I want to hear from you if you have been having problems leaving comments or registering with Blogger - I do still check this site often so if you leave comments here I do read them.  I also have my email address that you can send things to:  mtcw78@hotmail.com
 
Please let me know because now I'm wondering if I made the right decision to move to Blogger.

Good-bye, Farewell

 
 
  Well I'm sorry to say that I am leaving MSN Spaces.  With all of the new changes that have happened it takes me over 15 minutes just to view my site.  If I try to edit/change/add anything to my site on average it takes me over an hour.  And with a little one I can't allow myself to spend that much time just doing one simple task.
  For the last month or so I have been playing around with Blogger and I'm starting to really like it.  I don't know much about HTML but thankfully Mike took some college classes about it so he's been a huge help! 
  The blog isn't completely set up yet, but it's pretty close to being finished.  I've been working on it all weekend - I hope you like the new site and that you'll continue to visit me.  I, of course, will still come by and comment on your site's.  Please, please, please continue to visit me at the new spot (I need the attention!).

Naked Baby On Deck!

Yesterday we had a little Logan running around naked on the deck.  It was so cute!!  Mike was outside pressure washing our deck and Logan went out to see what Daddy was up to.  Well, once he saw the water he wanted to play in it.  At first he would just splash it with his hands but before I knew it he was sitting in it - getting completely soaked.  I decided at that moment to strip him down with no pants or diaper on.  So for awhile Logan was running around like this:

 

Pretty soon though his shirt was completely soaked and getting dirty from Logan sitting/falling on the deck.  At that point I figured I might as well strip off his shirt too.  He had a blast!!  I think he was out on the deck for at least 45 minutes just playing in the water and sitting in his empty pool.  Occasionally Mike would "mist" Logan with the water.  He is turning into a little waterbug.  If there is water nearby, Logan is in it.

No Girls Allowed

Before Logan was born Mike & I did some shopping at Ikea for some accessories for his room.  We had finally decided to decorate his room with a castle theme and one of my friends said that Ikea had some shelves that would look great in the room.  We not only found some shelves but we found some "torches" that flickered, a dragon that hangs on the wall and to top it all Mike built him the coolest changing table/desk/bookcase ever!!

While we were at Ikea Mike also found a castle tent.  We knew Logan wouldn't be interested in it for quite awhile but we bought it anyway.  A couple days after his birthday Mike decided to set it up in the living room and Logan absolutely loves it!  But he will only play in it if Mike joins him.  It's like their secret fort.........one in which I'm not allowed! 

Here is the game that they enjoy to play - Mike crawls in the castle and Logan follows.  Then Logan peeks out the windows to see where I'm at.  I slowly crawl up to the castle and "scare" him.  Logan then giggles and crawls/runs/flings his entire body onto Mike.  He would play this game for hours if Mike & I had the patience to entertain him for that long.  Oh, and he also has his "army" in the castle for added protection.  It consists of a duck, bunny, frog, tiger, and whale. 

Even though I'm not allowed in the castle it is such a joy to watch how much fun Logan has playing this game.  He giggles, screams, and presses his face up against the windows.  Sometimes they'll close the door and that's when I reach in and grab Logan's leg and slowly pull him out!  

 

There is a new video up of Logan & Mike in the castle - enjoy!!

I submitted my photos in for the contest.  I decided to enter "Tub Time" and "Baby in the Mirror".  I won't know if I win until April 2007!

Happy Bloggaversary To Me!

One year ago today I began writing in this blog.  It's been such a fun year - I've gotten to know so many interesting people and I've met some that I now consider friends.  I love reading about what is going on with other bloggers and I love all the advice that I've received - especially when it comes to Logan.  This has also been a great way for me to chronicle what's been going on with Logan.  I've been able to write about all of his accomplishments and this has helped me keep his baby book up to date.  Happy Bloggaversary  Mike & Tanya's Corner of the World!!
 
Here is my very first blog:

Our new arrival

Logan Michael made his appearane into the world on August 4th, 2005 at 1:09 pm.  Logan weighed 8 lbs. 10 oz. and was 19" long.  We stayed in the hospital until Saturday August 6th.  It's amazing that even though he's only 6 days old he already has his own unique personality.  I can see ways in which he takes after me, for example when he wants something, he wants it right away.  He hates to wait for stuff, if he's hungry he wants to eat right now!!  Just like the experts say, he loves laying on our chests.  It doesn't seem to matter who is holding him as long as he can lay and sleep without being disturbed.  Right now as I'm typing this he's laying on my chest, sleeping away.  We have been blessed the past couple of nights, Logan has slept for about 5 hours straight.  Until Sunday night he had his days and nights kind of mixed up.  Sunday night he was up from about 11-4 am.  It was a rough night for all 3 of us. 
Having a new baby is definitely a learning experience.  They demand so much of us and in the beginning it's such a guessing game, is he hungry? wet? overtired?  We are slowly starting to understand his routine.  It seems that he likes to eat about every 2-3 hours.  And when he eats he's a snacker
