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!

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

It's May!! Can you believe it?
Hi There! Cant believe it's May already. This year is flying by! Logan is 3 1/2 months already. Im having a birthday in 18 short days, schools are almost out, It will be my first mothers day next weekend...so many things coming up where do the days go?!
We are super excited, next week my best friend and Logan's (to be) God mother, Lauren is coming for a visit to Austin! Haven't seen her since December and she has yet to meet Logan in person so it is very exciting for us all! I have no idea what we will do while she is here, but it totally does not matter so long as we get to visit!
I'm looking forward to my first mother's day. It still seems a bit surreal sometimes to look down at that beautiful little face and think that's my son...sigh! He is just as sweet as can be, I am loving getting to know him as he develops his personality. He smiles all the time now, especially when we are playing or talking together. He is quite the chatter, making may new sounds and tones, exploring his vocabulary. We have been learning words in Spanish and a little Italian and French to expose his ears to different things. It is fun to see him look at you and turn his head when he hears new things.
We are working on rolling over and sitting up. he has absolutely no desire to roll over, he likes laying on his back looking around at whatever he sees, usually the fan which he loves to watch! He is NOT a huge fan on being on his belly, but still hasnt quite figures out that the rolling thing means that he doesnt have to be on his belly any more... oh well, work in progress. The sitting up is cute and still a bit far from happening on his own. he bobbles his head a lot and kind of folds in half facing forward so its more of there's no more room for him to go forward than supporting himself up, but hey, it's super cute anyways!
He has decided however that instead of getting better at the longer sleep thing, he is going to get worse! his night used to look something like this: 5 or 5 1/2 hours when he first went down, then a 3 hour stint and then maybe 2 or 3 hours, then up at 8 and we're ok to go. Now it looks something like this: 3-4 hours at first, then 2 hours, then 1 hour eating and 1 hour sleeping and promptly up at 6:30 or 7!!! This of course looks something like this for me: NO sleep for Mama! I must figure out what we are doing wrong, as almost everyone Ive talked to says that their baby, grandbaby, etc slept "through the night" at 6 or 8 weeks!!! OK seriously, how did I miss the boat on that one? I'd like to know! Oh well, maybe someday I'll sleep again...oh wait no, not for another 18 years right?! ;)
Sleep deprivation aside, It really is wonderful being a mommy and I would not trade it for anything in the world. He is such a joy!
Oh yes and the birthday is coming up too... really looking forward to that as I am SUCH a fan of birthdays!! Getting to get dressed up and get lots of great phone calls! love, love, love it! cant wait!
Well, tah tah for now!
have a great day!
Love,
Alicia and Logan

Getting Big and Smiles Every Day!!!
Hi There,
Logan is of course getting so big. We had his 2 month well visit and he was 13lbs 9oz. and that was almost 2 weeks ago now!! I cant believe how quickly the weeks are going by, 11 weeks now (on Wednesday).
He is cute as a button and getting such a fun little personality! He is smiling all the time and getting awful close to a giggle!! What fun! He is holding his head up almost completely now, with very little bobble head action. Though he still likes to bonk his head against mine on occasion. I think it's amusing to him to get a reaction from me when I go "oops, BONK" and kiss his nose ;)
Lots of little chattering, much more like words now. Cooing and making vowel type noises. It is so cute to listen to him, especially when he's in his bouncer chair and talking to his monkeys on the bar overhead! Seeing him every day growing and changing is so exciting! I look forward to each new thing and of course get so excited when he does something different!
Jamie has 1 week and a bit home with us still so we are trying to get our honey do list done this week so we have a few days to spend doing fun things before he goes back to work. We are hoping to take a drive to the hill country to go walking around the old towns and shops. I cant wait!
Logan had a nice bath tonight before going down for sleep session #1. He is of course fighting falling asleep even though he is super tired, but oh well :D
Wish me luck in getting some sleep tonight. Much love, hugs and kisses
Alicia and Logan

Baby Logan Update
Hi Y'all,
well i finally broke down and asked Jamie the login info for this blog. I had completely forgotten the info, so couldnt add any new info...hence no updates since before his birth :(
So now that im back in, here's the news!!
Our baby boy is 2 months already!! my goodness how time flies!! He is absolutely adorable (says the totally biased momma)!! So far those steely blue eyes have stayed, we are keeping our fingers crossed.
He is getting so big! Completely out of newborn clothes, (sad!) but we are having a blast buying him cute new stuff to wear as spring and summer are warming up. Man, are baby clothes CUTE!!!! We have been on a month long search for a great Easter outfit, and finally found one we love! You know, girls have it easy, there are so many darling springy clothes out there, but boys get jipped! unless its a onesie or sailer romper, no dice. Well, after a monumental search, we have finally found something that we love that did not cost a hundred bucks!! I will blog with a pic after Easter brunch next week, all i can say is i love argyle!
Logan has been gracing us with his first genuine smiles this last week what an amazing thing!! absolute heaven! He is also getting close to having little laughs, cant wait for that!!! Also making the most adorable noises! lots of talking and chattering away! Too much fun!
He has his next big well-baby visit next week, so we will see how big he's getting and see how he is doing with his milestones. Report card to come ;)
Well I think thats all i have to report at this time...dont want to bore everyone with a million lines :D
Will attempt to be more consistant with the posts. Much love to all
