He's on the Move!

Logan is discovering very quickly that these arms and legs can get him places. Just in the last week or so he is all over the place. He spins in circles on the floor on his tummy and he can army crawl to get something he wants. He is usually upside down at the foot of his crib in the mornings. And he has no fear, he will jump right out of your arms trying to grab something, knowing you will catch him. I knew he would be a quick mover....but I'm not ready yet! I don't have outlets covered,I don't have shelves secured, our fireplace hearth looks like a little noggin cracker, and I'm sure there are little baby dangers lurking around every corner. Ahh, stay put baby. My goal this weekend is to babyproof our house.

Busy Mommy, Busy Baby

Sorry it has been a while since I have posted anything. I just started a new job last month, it has been kind of crazy learning my new duties and learning new programs and such. But I can't even put into words how nice it is to have a job I enjoy now. I really did not like my last job, it was for a large company, there wasn't enough work for everyone...and when there was work it was very monotinous. I could just feel the clock ticking, it was miserable.

Now I'm working at Comfort-Air, the same company that Adam works for. However, I handle accounts payable and he is a service technician, so we rarely see eachother. Even though it has been a little stressful trying to learn everything, I'm enjoying my new position. It is a family owned company, so it is a close knit company and just a fun enironment (most of the time). This morning they were joking with Adam, saying if we ever split up he better go apply at Airtron or some other AC company, because they don't want to lose me. So I guess they must be happy with my work. But really they adore Adam. His boss is always calling to check on him if he's working on something hard "Are you ok Adam? I just wanted to make sure you didn't get trapped under something heavy."

Logan has been very busy as well. Busy growing and busy moving, or at least trying. His first teeth came in last week. They are his two bottom teeth and they are just poking through the gums. Thankfully, he hasn't really had trouble with them...hopefully that continues.

Logan can sit up completely independently now, and he thinks he is ready to get up and walk. If he is sitting in your lap he tries to stand up and will jump right out of your lap if you're not careful. He has become a little escape artist at daycare. They have these little bumbo seats for the babies and he can get out of it. It's funny watching him do it. He sort of twists his body until one leg is almost out, then he pushes himself out. He is a boy through and through.

He had a late 6 month check-up yesterday. He now weighs 17lbs 10oz and is 27 1/4 inches long. He is in the 5oth percentile for weight and the 75th for length. The doc said he is doing great.

Look at my tower!

6 Month Milestones

My sweet little baby is 1/2 a year old today. Time sure flies! He is learning so much, and getting so strong. Here are his new skills and favorite pastimes as of late:

Logan can sit up completely unassisted.
He can hold his own bottle through an entire feeding.
He mastered getting his pacifier back in his mouth.
He loves to jump, jump, and jump.
He can scoot on his tummy a little bit to get toys.
He loves to help mommy open the mail, if I don't give him something to "open", or to crumple and tear is more like it, he gets upset.
He has become attached to his little Tigger blanket, he loves to rub it on his face as he is falling asleep.
He likes to read books.
He even likes to shop. He sits up like a big boy now in the grocery cart.

We are truly enjoying or playful, interactive baby...but I wish I could slow time down.

Happy 4th of July

5 Month Milestones

My sweet baby is 5 months old today and he is ready to start walking. If only those legs would cooperate. He loves to stand, if you are holding his hands and playing with him he tries to stand up. He is very strong! He can pull himself up to standing all by himself, as long as you hold his hands.

His laugh is adorable. He thinks Mommy & Daddy are amusing, but oh my his cousins are just hilarious. Or really any kids for that matter. He really got a kick out of his cousins Emily & Anna. Anna would kiss his hand and he would just laugh and laugh.

He has become quite the little charmer. He loves to flirt with people while I'm holding him. He will grab their attention and smile. Then, he will play shy and hide in my shoulder. If he loses his audience he will try to strike up a conversation to win them back.

This child loves to watch TV, and it drives me crazy! We will put him in his little exersaucer facing away from the TV and he will strain his neck trying to see it. One day I put him in his swing while Daddy was watching a Spurs game. The swing and TV are on opposite sides of the fireplace. Well he was leaning forward , while it was swinging, trying to look around the fireplace to watch the game. He is definately his Daddy's son.

He is discovering cause and effect through play. He has a little piano at daycare and at home and he will lay on his tummy and play it Schroeder style. Maybe he will inherit Uncle Tim's musical talent.

Playmate Come Out and Play With Me...

Adam has been wishing for this day since before Logan was born. "When will he like to play?", "All he does is eat, sleep, & poop.", "When can he play." Well our baby is no longer a little potted plant, now he is interactive and likes to play.



Our neighbors gave Logan an excersaucer that had been their granddaughters, and he loves it. For those of you who don't know, an exersaucer is similar to a walker but stationary. The seat spins, there are toys all around them, and they can even make it bounce. This is his new favorite toy. He can make it play music, spin the toys and his seat, bounce a little, and pick out his favorite toys.

Now, Adam is ready for him to get bigger so he can play baseball, go fishing, and do boy stuff. I say "No, I want my sweet, cuddly baby to stay little."
