Three Men & Me

Logan has his first tooth!! I could feel a little something the Wednesday before Christmas and each day it became more and more obvious. It is his left bottom tooth and it looks like the one next to it might be coming in soon too. I hope I don't jinx myself by saying this, but he has been a tough little guy through all of it. I was expecting the worst...I guess that could all change with tooth #2, we will see.

He is really fascinated by all of the snow we have been getting. He loves to look out the window at it, he also loves to put his face to the cold glass and try to lick it:)

He has been loving all of his new Christmas goodies. He loves the table where you have to stand to play with everything. He is doing really good on his legs, but he can't stand by himself for a long time. If he had his choice he would stand all day, but he gets a little too heavy for mommy to hold up after a while.

Shake what your momma gave ya...


His cousin is showing him how to work a laptop:)

Dave and I have never been the best at waiting until Christmas morning to do our present exchange and I guess this is proving true when it comes to Logan as well. We couldn't resist giving him at least one present before it was even Christmas Eve. We decided to give him a little piano and I think we need to enroll him in lessons once he gets big enough:)



He didn't really understand the whole "present" thing. He was mainly interested in eating the wrapping paper:) I am a little nervous about the upcoming work week because Logan has been up past 11 the last three nights. He never got tired or crabby, instead, he was laughing and ready to keep the party going.

Opening his very 1st wrapped Christmas present!!!

He looks sweet and innocent in these pics, but he was trying to eat daddy's face!!

Naturally, two days after his 6 month pictures, Logan starting sitting straight up by himself. Would have been nice for his pics, but I forgive him:) His favorite toy ever is his steering wheel thing-a-majig. He loves when the lights flash and it sings to him. He is getting pretty good at the whole driving thing, I think we might need to start hiding our keys from him. I am a little concerned that he might have picked up a bit of road rage behavior from me...I better start driving at 10 & 2.

On the road again...WARNING...early signs of road rage!!!


We are almost done with all the stage 1 fruits. He still has to eat the prunes, and even though I think they sound disgusting, I am sure he will love them. When we started the veggies he loved all of them except for the green beans, but now that he has tasted the sweetness of fruit, he isn't too fond of the veggies. For that reason, I always make sure to give him a veggie with his fruit, not sure if that will help, but I am trying. Green beans are still the most hated, he gags on them:)

I bought some of the stage 2 foods and they look quite appealing. There is a mixed berry and banana one that I would like to mix in the blender and make a smoothie out of...that would be kinda weird though (no one has to know).

Nothing like toes first thing in the morning:)

Logan will be 6 months on the 8th of this month and I have no idea how we got here so soon. I realize that it gets better and better, but I must admit I am freaking out because I can't imagine how it could possibly get better...I am missing this age already!!! Some days when he is crabby and wants me to hold him while I am trying to get things done I get a little frustrated. I have to remind myself to enjoy the opportunity to hold him now because soon enough he will squirm out of my arms when I want to hold him most!! He is just such a sweet little guy and I love nothing more than smothering him in kisses!!!

We took him to get his 6 month pictures and he was very sleepy. We didn't get many big smile shots, but we did get some cute ones.

Tomorrow is Dave's work party where he will have his first encounter with Santa Claus...I am very excited to see how this goes!! He is not really old enough to get freaked out and cry, well, we will see:)

Now that the weather is getting cold I am going to have to get used to bundling him up, I have been spoiled with all the nice mild weather. He doesn't seem to mind hats, he actually laughs when you put them on. Last weekend we went to look for a tree and he was all bundled up (hat, jacket, and even mittens) and I carried him around in the Baby Bjorn. That ended up being quite the workout and my legs were sore for like 3 days. I think I need to start doing squats while holding him:)

Here are some of his 6 month pics...

Step into my office...
