Where do the days go???

Its been forever. We've been MIA. Sorry bloggy world - what can I say... I am BUSY chasing a toddler around!!! Ha :)

We are having such a good time together - Logan is growing and learning so much right before my eyes and I relish all the time we get to spend together and I soak it in - the days are long but will be gone before I know it and I wouldn't want to spend the days any other way. He is the light in my life and I am so lucky to get to hang out with this little man every day!!!


Having a quick snack on his Diner Table - we always put him in his highchair, but we were literally running out the door and it was easier to put some cheerios on the diner table - he thought it was the neatest thing!! He sat down and ate a bite then we were off...


He loves opening/closing the microwave - so sweet



Mama is SO MEAN :)



Since its been forever I will give a daily update so I can remember what we used to do in a day with Logan at 20ish months.
Wake up at 7:30-8 am and he is happy as a clam. Talking and rolling around his crib while I pull myself out of bed and go get him. For someone that is not a morning person what a joy it is to walk in his bedroom and he is smiling and ready to start the day - makes me in an instant good mood! We change then in the Pack n Play he goes listening to his music and playing while I make his waffles/bananas.
He eats breakfast then he is off to play - no more gating him behind the baby gate, he is OVER that so I moved it over to gate off the DVD/entertainment area :)
He runs around and reads books, plays in his ball pit, opens and closes doors, plays with Sophie, goes into his room and our bedroom. Loves to play on the bed and watch the fan. Usually we have a playdate in the morning or something to do so around 10 am we are out the door. We play and then get back home by 12:30 for lunch and nap at 1 pm. He sleeps until 2-3 and then we play more or go for a walk, wonder place, etc. If he is fussy or sick we watch a video.
Monkey Bread - SINFULLY YUMMY!!!!!
Then, he has a little snack around 3:30 ish and we play more until bathtime or dinner at 5:30. 6 pm starts night routine with his baby einstein video and then get ready for bed at 6:45. Read books and say night night light - sing twinkle twinkle star and off to sleep he goes at 7 pm. Usually he rolls around and talks to himself for a little while but never cries :)
Such a little man - he is learning how to move his cars/trucks, put blocks into the correct holes, open close everything and so much more. He knows who babies are and points them out. He also is throwing tantrums when we leave places - he threw a big one when we left the Wonder Place and I humbly carried him like a football and ran out as he was kicking and crying. He thrashed around the car until he was ready to politely sit in his car seat. Mama don't tolerate tantrums. Diaper changing is fun too - he drops dead weight onto the floor and won't let me pick him up - he is also kicking on the changing table - oh dear. I put him in time out 1 time before the diaper came off and he is better about when I say no kicking he stops. We haven't had to do much Time Out but I started counting 1...2....3 and he sort of knows that means business.
He is kind of getting to the point he tries to prolong nighttime. We let him walk back to the bedroom by himself and then we pick him up to put him on the changing table. He smiles and stays in the hallway until we count or last night I had to go pick him up.
Eating is a subject I don't even want to discuss - its still completely ridiculous what the kid lives on and what he won't even dare to touch or taste. Pretty much anything. Oh well - some day :)





Isn't he just the CUTEST thing ever?????
That is how he says "Please" by holding up his hand - ahhhh manners make me happy!!




In other exciting news my foot is almost healed up! I can walk and exercise moderately - HOORAY!!! 4 weeks later, thank goodness! Back on my weight loss track - I've lost almost 40 pounds and still going! Though today I ate a big ole mint brownie and chocolate bar cookie at a playdate....eh you only live once right? ;)
