swimming!

My mom came to watch us swim! And take some pictures. 

all tired out!

Sick man

Mr man had a fever the other day that brought us into the dr. He was up to 102/103. Good ol tylenol brought it down and weve been riding out a cold ever since. The fever left a day after it came but the stuffy nose and cough stuck around for a few days. Yesterday was a no nap day despite a whiny child who just wanted to cry all day. I think the crying gave him a headache and that proceeded to make him cry more. He was crying for anything that happened that day and I could not put him down. He would sleep in small increments (the largest being 8 mins which allowed me to fold clothes, switch over laundry and throw in a new load, pee, make a peanut butter and fluff sandwich and sit down for 1 bite) before he woke up from not being able to breath. No napping led to a very hard bedtime. He kept falling asleep and was falling asleep sitting up, but then he would wake to breathing issues and cry and work himself up. Tylenol and teething tablets (his hands were in his mouth all day too), along with saline spray were given at around 8:30. By 10, he was still unsettled and crying on and off while laying in bed with Matt. I went to bed at 10 and lathered him up with vicks and we had the humidifier going. He insisted on sleeping on his belly which meant lifting his head to cough every 5 mins. We eventually fell asleep around 11 and he woke to eat like normal and fell back asleep like normal.
The issue was, we had swimming today. to go or not to go? He woke up smiling and happy and wasnt whining at all. No fever and he could breath. So, we brought our own toy to swimming so we didnt get germs on any other toys. The pool did him some good. He was happy and giggly. That took a lot out of him because he has been sleeping for 2 hours now (woke to eat but went back down). Im glad we went because it allowed him to take this good nap that he really really needed.
Hopefully he gets better soon because I hate being cooped up in the house with a sick little man. But since I had no credit card due to someone in Texas using it, we were able to having some bonding time with walks. Even though he was sick, he seemed to love going our for our walks and likes to laugh at Simon :)

our first swings

Swings are a hit!

Jaxen preferred the flying method of swinging. Logan was looking at him like "what are you doing".

babysitters!

A few days ago, A girl I worked with offered to come and watch Logan. Sure? why not? Now the question is, what do we do without our child? Go to dinner? but we do that with him just fine. I cant sit through a movie cause since being pregnant, my tiny attention span got much smaller. Shopping? All we need is groceries and that is fun with Logan in tow. My husband suggested that we get some painting done and I liked his idea but I didnt want her to think we didnt her. So what did we do on our baby free evening? We returned something. 

We bought the play yard pieces a few weeks ago and as soon as we bought them, my mom told us about an offer on craigs list. So from some dude on craigslist, we picked up 14 play yard pieces for 80 bucks. Thats 2 more than we bought and even with one gate being half off (buy one get one half), we still saved 50 bucks buy returning them. They are big so it was easier to return without the boy. And we had them sitting in my car since we went to return them on sunday but I forgot the receipt. Then we ate dinner at Uno's and browsed Target. We also couldnt come home empty handed. Matt picked out pjs at Crazy 8 and since it was a 2 for deal, Logan got 2 pjs and a T-shirt. But they are for easter so dont tell him. I also decided to give my baby sitter a Mrs. Fields cookie. I pay well. So of course I bought 3 cookies to get a free one. I gave her one and this morning when I cam down stairs, one or both of the dogs had eaten all 3 of MY cookies. (I blame snickers but I have no proof and you cant tell when a dog shits chocolate chips)

How did Logan do? He did what Logan does. He smiled for her, probably giggled for her, he ate his dinner for her, drank a bottle (my milk :P) for her, cuddled with her and fell asleep on her. When asked if he cried, I guess he whined for his paci when he was ready. He was asleep when we got home at 8:30. But he woke up before she left. And he smiled at her and reached for her. I guess he was fine...

But this morning, while laying in the big bed, he looked at Matt and said "Da Da". He says it, but we didnt know if he knew what it meant. But a few mins later while playing, he looked at me and said "Ma Ma". Again, he can say it but... it melted our hearts :). 

But he woke up at 6:15 this morning. Earliest ever. No more sitters. :P

Water fun!

We started swim lessons last week! We went to the indoor pool at the Y and it is once a week for 8 weeks. First experience was a good one! he played and splashed and chased a ball around. He didnt seem to hate it at all. My goal is to get him used to water and this summer hopefully he wont be scared. This is his little swim spedo! no action shots in the pool yet because its hard to put him down on a solid surface. We will get action shots one of these days though!

And now that mr man sits just fine, we have been taking fun baths!

Hu Ke Lau

Family trip to the Hu Ke Lau. Sister in law, Brother in law, Nephew and Niece were at the table behind us and we sat with Mom and Dad in law. Logan was choosing his dinner.

He choose the giraffe!

He watched the Hula show my Father in law wanted us to see. Logan LOVED it and had a blast. He was awake the whole time and didnt care that I thought it was too loud. He danced on Matts lap too!

And when the asked the kids to go on stage, Grampa took Logan to shake their butts. :P

Logan and his animals, mostly Simon

Logans first Valentines day.

Logan spent his first Valentines day with a boy... His friend Jaxen!

But he did get a Valentine from a girl! His friend (who we will meet this summer!) Bella.

Bella also gave him this AWESOME shirt to wear.

more picture updates

MMM Breakfast at Grandmas! He got pears...

We went to the mall and then to an appointment 45 mins away. When it was time to go home, he was DONE being in his car seat so we chilled in the parking lot for an hour trying to get tired enough to sleep on the ride home.

Logan will roll the ball back and forth. He waves his hands and it rolls the ball back to who is playing with him. He can do this for many minutes at a time and loves it! 

Side sleeping. I move him once he falls asleep cause I dont want his arm to fall asleep.

Doc office fun!

Home Depot fun with daddy

He shares drinks with daddy! Matt will take a sip, and then Logan will take a sip (put his mouth on the rim) and they go back and forth like this! With almost any drink or cup.
