Boo....

That is BOO as in my pictures from Halloween won't post for some reason... I will try again tomorrow. Until then, just know that Logan is THE cutest duck you'll ever see... come back to see soon!

Yuck

Well it's already been a crazy weekend. Kyle and I have come down with what we think is the stomach flu. I have been feeling miserable today.... Fortunately, we had already planned for my parents to keep Logan because we were supposed to go to a wedding tonight, so they came by and picked her up a little while ago.
Please be praying for a quick recovery (by tomorrow morning!). Tomorrow night is our Young Life Annual Fundraising Banquet. Kyle is speaking and it would be great if he felt 100%.
Thanks!!

The Hair

It seems as if Logan's hair gets thicker and longer with every passing moment... and along with more hair comes CRAZINESS.

The pictures below show what Logan's hair looks like when she decides to run her fingers (that she just dipped in her yogurt) through her hair. I guess you could say that yogurt would work "well" as hair gel.

So then it was straight to the bathtub...(seems to be the new "routine"...eat dinner, get messy, get a bath).

Then add just a bit of bath water to the hair...and voila!!

Logan vs. The Banana

Bananas are slippery lil suckers!

But I am gonna get it one way or another...

I think I can....I think I can....

Okay, maybe I need both hands....

YES!!!

Yea for me!!!

So proud of herself!!

A New Look...a Good Day...and Pictures

How is that for a creative title?

Today I got some time by myself with my computer at a coffee shop (NEW computer thanks to my hubby...thanks, Kyle!). It's been a good mental escape for me and a great time to makeover the ole' blog while listening to Shane & Shane on my ipod and drinking a Pumpkin Spice Latte. ahhhh!!!!!!!!! This is just the icing on the cake after getting to go to a good yoga class this morning and then spend time with a dear friend that I don't get to spend nearly enough time with....

Well, on to the pictures...

Logan playing with daddy....

Logan loved getting pulled around on the blanket...check out that belly and those thighs! Love it!

Logan got to spend some quality time with Justin. Justin is one of Kyle's best friends...we've gotten to see a lot of him lately and I think Logan likes that! (so does her daddy and mama!)

Hanging out with Justin and Autumn!

Thanks for stopping by...stay tuned for more...

Alphabet Soup

This is what happens when Kyle bathes Logan....

They sure do have lots of fun together!!

On Cloud 9

Logan turned 9 months old on the 6th!! (Seriously? 9 months already?!?) Today I took Logan to her 9 month well visit. She got one shot and also had a blood test for anemia - she was more concerned with the band-aid on her finger than she was about the shot. I remember before Logan was born, people would say that each stage of your child's life is better than the one before and I so GET IT now.

In honor of Logan being 9 months old...here are 9 of my favorite things about my baby girl right now!!

1. Her big toothy smile...(She's got 8 little toofies now!)

2. How ticklish she is...she just giggles and giggles...

3. Her pulling up on everything in sight (she's been doing this for about 6 weeks now...can we say "early walker"??)

4. Her standing on her own (I am in TROUBLE!!)

5. How she immediately starts clapping and smiling when I start singing "Pat-a-cake".

6. How content she is while eating Cheerios...seriously, these are a lifesaver at restaurants!

7. Her constant jabbering...my dad says that once she is able to talk, we are not ever going to get her to stop!

8. How she lights up when she sees her mama and daddy.

9. Her sweet little wave as she says "bah-bah" (bye bye)

Seriously, Mom! Stop taking pictures and feed me!




Other fun news: I just ordered her Halloween costume and all I can say is she is going to be CUUU-UUUTE! You'll just have to stay tuned to the ole blog to see what she is! Also, our pediatrician (who is AWESOME) has a Halloween Open House at his home for his patients...today he invited Miss Logan. Isn't that fun?

Oh and last but not least...Happy Birthday to Logan's Papa...we love you!

These are a few of my favorite things....

...according to Logan in her best Julie Andrew's voice....

Water! Love it! Whether it's a bath, swimming in a pool or sitting in a blow up pool in my diaper...bring it on!

Playing hide and seek. Especially with Daddy but we don't have any pictures of me playing with Daddy...so here I am playing with Mommy.

Doggies...this is Eisley, my great grandparents dog.

Being upside down...so fun!

Popsicles!! Except that time I got a brain freeze...I screamed...loud!

Reading books with Great Grandma!

Pulling up on EVERYTHING!!!

Lots of Pictures......

but not much of a chance to post them. Sorry! We have been staying at my parents' house for the past week because our A/C died... So...pictures will be coming soon!

Kansas City and St. Louis

We just returned from a 10 day trip to Kansas City and St. Louis. We had a lot of fun with family and a bunch of Kyle's old friends. We are still recovering from the road trip with a 7 month old as she has come down with a stomach bug...yuck! Enjoy the pics!

Watching fireworks over the arch in St. Louis....

At the St. Louis Zoo with Honey, Aunt Kim and Uncle Morgan...

On a picnic with Mommy and Daddy...

Gummy Smile and Chubby Thighs

Who would have thought that those two things would be so cute on someone?

This is my current favorite picture...luckily, I get to see this smile all the time but now it has a little tooth sticking out. I wanted a good picture that showed off her gums before her teeth started coming in and here it is! Her first tooth appeared just a couple of days later.

Picture Catch Up!

Here are a few pictures detailing our lives over the last 2 weeks...

Daddy ran his first marathon in Oklahoma City! Mommy and I cheered him on...check out my shirt that Mommy made me!

Lovin' my shades!

Mommy loves playing with me!

Having a grand ol' time at Grandma and Grandpa's house!

My daddy had to go out of town last weekend so I went to see my Great Grandpa and Great Grandma! We had lots of fun!

Hunter loves me, too!! Look how strong I am!

Mommy still has a lot of pics to catch you up on...like from our ski trip and our trip to Disney World when I was a wee one...they are coming!

Exersaucer fun...

4 Months Old!

Logan had her 4 month appointment today. I love going to see her pediatrician except for the shots. She was supposed to get 4 shots today but unfortunately they ran out of the Hep-B shot this morning and there is some back order on getting more...so Logan got 3 shots today and then will go back later this week for the last one.
Our big girl continues to be....well, big! She measured 25 1/8" (75-90%) and weighed 15 pounds 10 ounces (90%). She has almost doubled her birth weight!! Our pediatrician has told us before and repeated againt today that the first year of a baby's life, their growth is dependent on nutrition (i.e. her mama!). Once she turns one, then her growth is dependent more on genetics. He feels that she has probably "peaked" on her growth...especially her height seeing as though Kyle and I are both on the "short" side!
At four months she is all smiles and coos! Such a fun stage! She has also been rolling over alot from back to stomach! It's been so fun to see her grow and develop more and more each day. Oh, how we love her!

Well, I am way behind...

Geesh...I don't know why it is so hard to keep the blog "current". (Actually I do know, I get sucked in reading every one else's blogs and checking my site meter to see who has been reading mine!! I really didn't think that more than 5 people read this until I got my site meter! Now I know that there is an audience out there!) I usually have the best of intentions but then a month passes and I haven't posted. I have so much to post, too!! Of course, there are always lots of pictures of Logan...but we also have new pictures from the ski trip, Easter and our anniversary. So for now, I'll post a few pictures from this past Wednesday night...our 3rd anniversary!

Logan spent some time with my mom (her Gommie) while Kyle and I went out to dinner.

On our way out to dinner...I need a tan BAD!

Sorry but that is it for now!! I will hopefully post pictures from Colorado soon and a funny video of Logan that I just took tonight...stay tuned!

March Madness

Is it really March already? CRAZY! Our baby girl turned 3 months old yesterday!! Cannot believe it! She is doing so great...she talks (coos) like crazy, smiles all of the time and is just on the verge of laughing out loud. I cannot wait for that one! It has been such an amazing few months to watch her develop more and more every day. And she is just so stinkin' cute!! She is sleeping pretty well right now - anywhere from 5 to 8 hours when we put her down at night, then wakes up long enough to eat and then back to bed for a few more hours. At her two month appointment, she was weighing 13.5 pounds (95th percentile!!) - she's a BIG girl!
Kyle and I are doing well also! Kyle had the flu last week but luckily was able to shake it pretty quickly once he got on some meds. I am now fighting a cold...lovely! Dallas has had a crazy weather week. We've had a pretty mild winter and then this week we got snow twice...TWICE in one week!! That pretty much never happens here. Kyle also passed his certification test yesterday and is looking forward to doing some training on the side to make a little extra money. We have some ideas/dreams of ways to grow it into a small business that we hope to start working towards in the next couple of months.
Next up: Our annual Young Life Family Ski Trip over Spring Break. Can't wait!
Here are a few pictures from the past couple of weeks....

Talking to her Grandpa Lemay...Lemay is my mom's maiden name and Logan's middle name.

Giving Grandpa Lemay some kisses.

Her first time to wear a dress. She was a happy girl!

Our baby girl!

Hanging with her Papa.

Logan loves her little overhead gym. I usually put her under there in the morning (when she is happiest and most talkative) and she just talks and talks to the little monkey and parrot that hang from it. Kyle and I usually just sit there and laugh at her - she really gets into it! This time Kyle joined her! Dudley has to be close to his daddy, so he is trying to get in on the moment. This is the only time that Dudley cares to have anything to do with Logan.
