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

New Teeth Suck!!

Logan is having such a crummy time getting his new teeth in, he is in a ton of pain and biting EVERYTHING to make it feel better! Im sure this is the norm and not the exception, but it still is no fun. Jamie says it is a good thing they dont remember this part and that it is more a trial for me than Logan. Which is completely accurate considering it breaks my heart every time he looks pained. I just continue on as best as I can and try to make it more comfortable whenever possible. gotta love chewing on the fingers, and arm and edge of the table and and and...

Otherwise things are going well. He is sleeping really well considering the pain. He only wakes up once during the night and falls back asleep usually only after 10 or 15 minutes. And as much as 6am is way too early for any normal person... he is the cutest alarm clock I have ever come across so i really cant complain! seeing those chipmunk cheeks and wearing those adorable feetsie jammies, that great big smile makes for the best start to the day! He is such a little love!

The peddler show is this weekend here in cedar park. We are all going to go tomorrow and check it out. It is supposed to be a bunch of vendors and craft booths, I am really looking forward to it! I'll let you know how it is. If anyone has been, let me know.

Off to make brownies for dessert tonight!!! woohoo!

Have a fab weekend!

Adventures in the pool!!!

We had our first swim in the pool on saturday... What Fun!!! Mama, Daddy and Logan!

Logan was so cute and excited the whole time! giggles and splashing all around! no issues with the splashing water and was kicking his feet almost the whole time! Our little water baby! Cant wait to spend more time at the pool (good workout for mama too!). We swam around in the big pool and jumped in the air with daddy, what a fun day!

Yesterday we went to Wimberley... possible future home town :) and walked around the downtown area & had lunch. It is such a cute town. Old barns and houses, lots of beautiful land with huge old growth oak trees and creeks. Just wish we had time for pie :( at the most adorable pie shop! hopefully next time!

Well, we have the bug guy here to hopefully get rid of the hornets (GRRRRR!!) so I've gotta run. The video of the day at the pool will be up on our home website this week, so check in often, and for now, go see the super cute new pics posted there!

Have a fun monday!

Love,
A & L

Feeling better boy!

Logan is feeling much better today!! YEAH! his chest is still a little cough filled but he is definitely back to his super adorable self!

He is at present running (forward a little but mostly backward) around the kitchen in his wheel around and playing with his blocks! He loves chasing after Dodge! Dodge of course has other ideas about the whole thing ;)

We had a fun day out and about yesterday running errands and doing a bit of shopping. Didnt buy much, but did pick up a much needed ironing board cover since mine decided to crumble into little bits where the iron usually sits... this also prompted the purchase of an iron stand for the side of the board! fixed 2 problems at once ;) We also came across a clearance set of old fashioned building blocks, you know, the ones with the half circles, arches, cylinders, triangles and rectangles that every child should have!! a set of 100 for only $7.50 at Target, what a deal!!! He may be a tad young for them, but im sure he will see if they taste yummy anyways ;)

Today we are hoping to go to the pool for the first time, fingers crossed that daddy can get the lawn mowed and Logan can get in his afternoon nap on time!! We will let you know how it goes :D

well, off to play on the playmat!

Happy Saturday!

Love, Alicia & Logan

How the time does fly!

So here we are mid July and nearing the 6 month mark! I cannot believe how fast the time has gone! I have of course been so involved in watching Logan's every new experience that I have been remiss about writing in my blog to keep you all up date on things with us. I will try much harder to get this updated but always know that you can see new pics of Logan on our website too at www.lovell.cc we try to keep it at least a bit more up to date than this one ;)

Well, Logan is amazing (no mommy bias or anything)! He has just today figured out how to roll back over from his belly to his back. He has had the back to belly thing down for about a month now, but this one has eluded us until this morning, when he proceeded to be so pleased with himself, he did so three times in a row! He is working diligently on sitting up all by his-self but is a bit wobbly still. It will likely be soon so I am keeping that camera close by.

He has unfortunately been very sick this week. Cold and fever. I think he is teething too, so that makes things doubly painful. I had a very hard time with his first cold. I never quite knew how hard it would be to have to sit nearly idly by and watch him struggle with pain, breathing, coughing and sneezing, knowing that other than administering lots of snuggles and kisses and a bit of baby tylenol, there was nothing I could do to make it better! His little face was just so sad looking up at me and I was a gonner. He is feeling much better now thank goodness. We are finally sleeping better and back in our crib instead of the bouncer chair (to make breathing easier) so that is a huge help! Now just to get back to those nice long nights of sleep ;)

We are trying a nap/sleep plan to help make falling asleep easier. We found a super cute little puppy from leapfrog, called baby scout and it has recordings of lullabies and nature sounds, a soft glowing moon and a little blankie to hold while snuggling. I have been taking him to his room with the lights off and it nice and quiet, then we sit in the rocker and snuggle, bring out the puppy and start the music. So far he is liking the routine so it is a little bit at a time. Hopefully soon he will be on his way to dreamland whenever we begin the lullabies. Fingers crossed ;)

Well. Im sure that is enough for now. I will try again tomorrow. Enjoy the latest pics and have a wonderful day!

Love, hugs and kisses,
Allie and Logan
