Ghouls Night Out - 31 Style!

First I just have to show you one pic of Logan...this little boy loves his wheels :)


Lauren hosted a spooktacular Ghouls Night Out for her 31 party and it was amazing!! She is definitely the Hostess with the Mostess! Her table scape was perfection - she is so creative!!








Here is my 31 setup!!



obsessed with this bag!!

This was my first official party and it went beautifully! I couldn't have asked for a better audience everyone was so sweet and we all had a blast. Lauren did such a good job hosting and she earned TONS in free and half price products!!!! :) I am really loving my new little adventure!

15 Months and Happy 90th!



We drove to Dallas to celebrate GrandMarys 90th birthday!!! We had a really great time seeing family and spending time with the cousins :)



GrandMary is seriously one of the sweetest people I know - she is so gracious and is always the hostess with the mostess :)



Feeding Logan lunch at the party

Grammy and Logan

Trying to get a photo of all the grandkiddos proves to be an epic fail - and mostly due to my own child - haha

See? The second we set him in the mix he immediately got up and walked away


He had his own agenda - ha!

Grandaddy and Logan - checking out the fountain





These pictures are so precious of Grandad and Logan! We will treasure them always :)






Grammy, me, and Logan



He did amazing on the trip! I was shocked...he didn't cry at all in the car - only fussed a few times but that was short lived. He didn't take a nap either...he just won't sleep at all in the car. But he played, looked out the window, and I brought his music cds to listen too and he was pretty content. We stopped at Whataburger (YUM) and he did great there too! He also slept wonderfully in the bathroom - hey you do what you have to :) I turned his fan on and he slept from 7 pm - 7 am!


Having some fun in the diaper back home


Trey and I took him to the Zoo again since it was a hit the first time and to soak up all this glorious fall weather. He just loves those silly penguins!







Here he is reading his Tiger Book - one of his favs!




I cannot believe I have a 15 month old!! It just blows my mind...



We go from being very upset about getting in the highchair...

to very serious about mealtime..



to extremely happy about Mama taking pics!


My little 15 month old:

-size 4 diaper (but they are a little small we are moving into 5's and an overnight 5 for bedtime)
- goes to sleep at 7 pm and wakes up at 7:30-8am and never gets up in the middle of the night...knock on wood....seriously :)

-takes 1 nap a day usually 12-12:30 I put him down and he sleeps anywhere from 1 hour - 2 hrs.

- Eats waffles and bananas for breakfast. Snack at 10 am of cheese, yogurt, and puffs or cheerios, lunch at Noon of PB sandwich or cheese toast with puree veggies and some other finger foods, snack at 3 pm same as before, and dinner around 5:30 either PB or cheese toast with puree and other finger foods. He still isn't trying new things but we keep trying to put them on his tray.
He is not a big snacker - he really doesn't eat a ton of food at this point.

- We havent been to the doc so not sure on weight yet...will update when we go
- He is doing SO much better at MDO!!! He didn't cry when I dropped him off last week - hooray!!! He didn't look happy, but didnt cry. He has been playing and eating all his food so that is amazing :)

- He does have a temper, but he usually stops when you tell him no, if not the first time, usually by the 2-3rd. Sometimes if he is tired or cranky I have to pull him away and he cries and is upset. I also feel like at this stage he is easily distracted which is great - if I sing a song or say "what does a tiger say" or recite a book he will stop crying and listen. He rarely likes to have his diaper changed.

-I also notice he is light sensitive which he definitely gets from me. In the morning I cant turn on a lamp or he cries and puts the burp cloth lovie in his face. Sun bothers him too.

- He LOVES walks - is obsessed with being outside in the stroller!! Loves his books and Fans - he is still very obsessed with fans and if they are on or off. He calls them wa was still and lights are ga gas.

He really likes his burp cloth for naps and bedtime but he isnt attached during the day. I offer it but he only takes it if he is super tired.

- he is drinking whole milk like a champ and water only. thank goodness he likes it!!!!!!!!



My heart somehow grows an inch each day to be able to store all the love that I have for this little man - he is so very precious and I treasure every day I get to spend with him :)
