10 Months!

Can YOU believe my baby is 10 months old?!?



Nope, me either.

How does time FLY so quickly??

Geesh - next thing I know it will be his first day of school - EEEK!

For now, I am trying to enjoy each and every moment with this precious guy

and his many funny faces :)

Look who's all ready for a BEACH Vacation!!! Me too kid, me too.

My dear friend Catherine has been in town for a couple of weeks and its been SO nice to see her and catch up! Even though tons of miles separate us we still don't skip a beat when we reconnect. We have always had that bond :)

Meeting Logan for the first time

Isn't think pic the cutest?!

I pulled out the pack n play so I could keep Logan contained for a little bit at a time while I pack and do things like run out to the car for a second. He has pushed over the gate so this is necessary. The good news is that he doesn't understand its not "cool" to be stuck inside this playpen. For now he is exploring it and playing with his toys happily. I'm sure he will discover all too soon that its not a fun new play space and it is holding him hostage. :)

We are off for some fun in the sun - have a Fabulous week bloggy world!!

Naked Booty!

After a poopy diaper and a VERY large pee session that went all over his shirt, changing pad, me, and him I put him on the floor so I could clean up the pee and of course he was so excited to be naked! He immediately stood up and started squealing :)




love that naked booty :)

sweet boy - he did NOT want to put a diaper on let alone any clothes

He loves to rake his fingers against this - it is so funny to watch he is just fascinated

One of the many bunnies that live around our yard ...

I put my Susie Homemaker hat on yesterday and made these Strawberry Shortbread Cupcakes for Lauren's birthday (an early present since I will be out of town over her bday) They turned out a little messy but pretty yummy!

Logan has been talking up a storm today - just out of the blue. He finally started saying "da da da" and he has been talking gibberish. I will try to catch it on video :) He also learned how to lower himself from a standing position. Growing up so fast!

Who says you can't cry over spilt milk?

Well it finally happened - I dropped my first bottle and it came crashing to the floor bursting formula all over the place! Gross - what a STICKY mess. And of course the first thing I thought was "Crap! That was like $2-4 bucks wasted! So that is why I say you can definitely cry over spilt milk - especially when its SO darn expensive! Flashing back to his newborn stage I did shed big hormonal tears when I first brought him home and was pumping constantly to get a few drips of colostrum to syringe it into his mouth and I accidentally hit the cup and the colostrum spilled down the sink drain. That sent me over the edge - 30 minutes for a few tiny drops and for it to be wasted like that - ooooh far too much for me to handle. But in the end it was all good - Logan slept for a 5 hour stretch so I got to pump again before he was hungry and it worked fine :)



Look what I found when I got him up for his nap yesterday - little stinker!

this is exactly why we lowered the crib to its last notch!

sweet boy eating lunch

inspecting his food very carefully - picking up cheese and carrots and putting them back down.

this is his stinky face to show us he is either done eating or doesn't like what he put in his mouth - haha

and we finally mounted the video monitor a couple of weeks ago - but here it is! It is wonderful - I can see the whole crib and it sure beats him knocking it off the crib during every nap!

I cannot believe how well he stands!

We pulled out his baby pool for him to get used to playing in for the beach trip. He wasn't sure what to think at first - but he figured out it was fun!

I gave him some measuring spoons to play with - they were a hit :)

We went to a fun birthday party for a little boy in our playgroup and they had a petting zoo - it was so cute!

Logan was staring at all the animals running around

He got to meet this sweet duck

I LOVE this picture - how funny is this? They are staring each other down!

Mr. Pig and Turtle

First time playing with a balloon - he definitely liked it

I also want to add that we went to an early dinner tonight at PF Changs and he sampled some tofu, asparagus, and chicken that was on my plate. Not sure if he liked it - but at least he opened his mouth to try it! Hooray!

So he has been saying Ma Ma recently - he doesn't know it means me yet, but he is quickly figuring out that when he calls it out I come running in the room and praise him and point to me :) This is a video of when he first started saying it!
