Fun Weekend Visit!!

We all had a great weekend. Logan got to visit Nanny and Grandpa and was such a good boy over night! His first night away from home! (and mama didn't cry even once, yeah for me!) I think they might even be willing to take him again some time ;)

Jamie and I had a great night out, read all about it on my other blog at http://tailsofanapronista.blogspot.com/ and while you're over there, take a look at some of the recipes and stories I have posted. Hope you enjoy browsing.

Here are a few pics I snapped of Logan this morning while he played in his scoot around. He decided it would be fun to chew on the bear on his play bar.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend too and have a great Monday!

Much love,
Alicia and Logan

Play Mat Time & Chillin' with Daddy!

Logan has really mastered the art of rolling over. He is now able to start in one place and roll continuously over and over instead of just one side and back. He can do this in both directions and loves to practice his mad skills any time he can. Yesterday he decided to do so during play mat time and roll from one side all the way over until the mat itself upended onto its side with him laying over the overhead bars on the floor :D He was quite pleased with himself to say the least! Here are a few shots I was lucky enough to snag before he decided to wiggle his way out and try something else.

Later on when Daddy got home from work, he and the munchkin had some bonding time out on Daddy's hammock in the yard! They lounged out there after having had some yummy dinner together and played with the puppy, while Mama was making hers and Daddy's dinner. They had a very nice time and even smiled for a few shots between saute and serve!

Tonight, Mama and Daddy get to go on a date!! YEAH!! and Logan is going for a visit with Nanny and Grandpa. We are all very excited and looking forward to this much needed time out and about.

Have a great weekend!

Shopping trip!

We got to go shopping on Wednesday to the fabric store!! One of Mama's fave places to go. We got all kinds of neat things for Logan, boy fabric to make into cute boy clothes since there seems to be a huge lack thereof in the stores these days. Unless of course you want to spend a ton of money.

We found some great patterns and guess what?!? only paid $1 ea for 10 patterns, my receipt says I saved over $140 on the patterns alone!!! Steal! Super cute patterns too, and for all sorts of things... clothes, sleep sacks and warm winter jammies, shopping cart covers and organizers, adorable bibs, matching daddy and baby jammies (oh my goodness soooo cute!!) and more! I cannot wait to get started!

Well, we forgot to take pictures while we were actually in the store, but this way you can see all the nifty stuff we came home with and Logan in all his chewing glory!!

And Logan is 7 months old today!!! Still can't quite believe how fast he's growing!!

Have a great Friday!! & a great weekend!

All our love,
Alicia and Logan

Burrito Boy!

OK, so Logan has developed this adorable habit of rolling himself up into blankets. He grabs one end and just starts rolling over until he's all wrapped up, then kind of peeks up from under. It is so super cute! I got a great series of pics of him doing just that yesterday to share with you. Hope you like them as much as I do!

P.S. The search is on for the perfect sleep training. My two books arrived yesterday and I am reading like mad to see what I can put into play to get him to fall asleep on his own instead of while eating. It is a terrible crutch I know and I knew it leading up to it happening, promised myself we would not end up that way, and somewhere along the line, after that 4 month mark passed, and I just realized oh no!! that it happened and I missed my window entirely! His habits changed so easily that I didnt even know it was happening and there it is! GrRRr. Oh well. We will fix this and hopefully soon. We are all in dire need of a good nights sleep! Wish me luck, I'll keep you posted.

Enjoy the pics and have a great Thursday!

Much love from a very sleepy,
Alicia and Logan

Logan's got a 2nd tooth... finally!

Hello all and Happy Tuesday!

I had planned to upload some pics yesterday but am still waiting on a cute one from his visit with Nanny and Grandpa over the weekend, so that will just have to be a bonus later in the week!

Sunday morning finally brought us that 2nd tooth that has taken since last Sunday to actually poke through. Poor little guy was hurting quite a bit from it! I think we may be getting on track to feeling better, so here's hoping! His little chomp has developed a razor sharp edge, fun for us, since he likes to chew on fingers :D The first tooth is really starting to get up there and is looking awful cute! I'll take a picture of both in a day or too, its a little tender right now and hurts him when I open his mouth too much.

We all had a great weekend, shopping, vegging, visiting and playing! He and Daddy got some boy time together and had a ball! More days like that to come! Here are some cute pics of that last few days. Hope your weekend was great!!

much love,
Alicia & Logan

Playing with the Puppy & BBQing with Daddy!

Well lots of fun yesterday!! Crazy Dodge decided to come and play with Logan on his mat in the living room and they had a blast, rolling around and giggling together! of course Dodge decided that he needed to give Logan all sorts of kisses everywhere and that meant more giggles and me telling him not the face!! , but he never listens ;)

Then last night while Jamie BBQ'd the chicken, Logan got to run around outside in his scoot around and help with the grilling! They looked too cute I just had to snap a shot or two. Dodge got to come out and enjoy the evening too, playing with his Wubba in the yard and getting chased by Logan who screamed happily at him! Very busy day!

Happy Friday!!
Have a great weekend!

Helping Mama

Yesterday Logan helped me in my sewing room while I sewed and mended daddy's shorts as well as ironed his work shirts for the week. Of course he had all the fun, rolling around on one of his fave blankies and playing with his blocks. We sang songs and danced around together and got all our work done in a jif! Plus he looked cute as a button in his overalls!

Then later yesterday Logan got to eat dinner with daddy which he had lots of messy fun with. Mama was cooking dinner so I couldnt get a picture of that but take my word for it, he was a mess! lots of fun though!

We are still having a very hard time with tooth #2 it is right at the surface, but just wont break through and is causing a lot of pain and sleeplessness, hence we were awake from 3:30 to 5:30 this morning, oh so fun :{ He is napping at the moment so hopefully it will help him to feel a bit better and give me a chance to share these pics and get the dishes done.

More tomorrow. Have a great friday eve!

much love,
Ally & Logan

1/2 Pint ;)

Had a good day yesterday, running errands, doing lunch with daddy after his meetings and going grocery shopping! Stayed up till 9:15 and then slept until 5:30 woohoo!! then even better, went right back down after 15 min until 7:30am!!! yeah for mama! much needed rest for us all.

Logan got to wear his new onesie from his Auntie Stacy yesterday and it was sooo cute! It is from her old job at LaneSplitter in CA and I thought it would be fun for her to see now that she is an official resident of New York! Hope your move went great sissy and hope to see you soon! Until then, here's some pics of the new shirt!

Enjoy and have a great day!

Newly designed blog & Swimmy Pics!

Good morning all!
Wanted to take a moment to introduce the new face of our blog! All about our new little punkin' Logan Jack! I will do my very best to add at least 1 picture a day so you can share in his growing up and watch as we do all the new and exciting things we do! I have added an age tracker to the top so you can see just where we are on the way to being 1 and what is happening along with the time. I have been very inspired of late to change things up with this blog and I hope you enjoy keeping up with us!

Swimmy Pics!

Logan got a brand new baby swimmy pool yesterday so we had to have a dip! It is super tiny and is more like sitting in the bath, just outside. Especially since it has gotten up to 104 most every day this week so its nice and warm too ;) He loved it though, splashing all around and even having a little chew on the side... gotta break in that new tooth and the one on the way! We sat out on the front porch and even Dodge came out to see what fun we were having! cant wait to do it again soon!

After our swim we decided to do a little scooting around in the kitchen getting into all sorts of mischeif, but oh how cute we look!!

Well, until tomorrow... I hope you enjoy the new layout and the todays pics.

Happy Tuesday!
Ally and Logan

Sitting Up!! YEAH!!

Logan is sitting up all on his own now! He is still a little bit wobbly after a while or if he reaches too far to overcorrect his balance then he goes plop... right over :p He cant pull himself up to sitting from laying down yet, but he is getting his center of balance figured out and Im sure will be very soon. He loves to reach far out in front or to the side for his toys, he likes the independence of getting different things. He has also gotten much better at reaching for something specific and getting it right away. If he cant seem to reach it he scoots on his belly, Its so cute!

We had some photos taken for the 6 month mark, they turned out so cute. Cant wait to show everyone soon!

Well, lots to do as always!! namely get my cup of coffee, finally ;)

Have a great day, talk to you soon

Love,

Allie & Logan
