Three Men & Me

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...




My tootsies are my bff's!!!


Sittin up like a BIG BOY!!


Here are some of the outtakes that didn't make the cut...

NO MORE PICTURES...sooo sad:(


Maybe if I act like I am sleeping this lady with stop taking pictures??

Since Logan has been snotty for over a week, the doctor wanted to see him to make sure he didn't have an ear infection. His ears looked great and the doctor said he might just have a sinus infection, but that everything else looked perfect. With his clothes on he was at 20 lbs 11 oz, which explains why I have to switch arms every few minutes when I am holding him:)

The doctor also said that it would be OK to let him try some of the Thanksgiving favorites such as mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes and maybe even a little taste of pumpkin pie:)

I can't wait to have 4 whole days with him.

I am signing him up for the infant swim lessons. They do not start until January, but I am really excited to get him the water and get him ready for the summer.

Much love for my momma


Fist bumps!!

It has been too long!! We have been so busy and Logan has been making sure it stays that way. I have no idea where the evenings go anymore. Instead of doing laundry, dishes, working out, etc., I spend all of my time with Logan (and Dave).

He has been sleeping through the night for quite some time now and that is just one of the many things I am thankful for:)

He has made it through all of his veggies and is now enjoying fruits. He opens his mouth for more before I can even get another spoonful made. He has also been talking a lot more lately and getting better at his "m" and "b" consonant sounds.

I seriously can not believe we are nearing the 6 month (1/2 a year) mark. I am really looking forward to sharing the holidays with him. I am hoping that he doesn't get too crabby as we travel the state of Missouri visiting family, ok, so maybe that is a slight exaggeration, but not much:)

He has been fighting congestion which wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to suck his boogies out. He HATES that sucky thing with a passion. The other night I was trying to get these stubborn snot streams out and he was crying so hard that he had tears, which in turn gave me tears:( I felt like a meanie, but it was for his own good. (whoa, I think that was a mom statement).

What a feeling...when were talking to the ceiling...


Doing his best Elvis impression...grandma would be so proud:)


Fingers a la mode...his favorite snack.

Logan had his first Halloween and I am very dissapointed in the lack of candy he collected for mommy:) Since Halloween landed on a Saturday we spent much of the day running errands and therefore ended up with a crabapple come the night. Poor guy just wanted a little sleep. I dressed him up, but I made sure we were both happy. Momma got to see her little man in a costume, but it was more like a sleeper which probably made him happy.

Them bones, them bones...


them dry bones:)
