Logan's First Day of School

Logan had a very good first day of school :-) He chilled in the Boppy and took in the scene and new friends, napped a bit (although not well) and ate (finishing 5oz bottles now)! Mommy had a good first day of school too -- I got to reverse shadow the teacher who has been taking my classes (and she did awesome whipping them into shape for me)!

Sunshine x2

You Are My Sunshine :: Who is Who???? Good thing I bought this outfit on super clearance! I don't think it's going to make it to Christmas season either, but Logan sure did wear it well :-)

The best part was the stocking on the booty, haha! He hated the reindeer bib, the antlers kept getting in the way of him putting his hand in his mouth.

Gettin' Ready for the Big Man

Starting to get ready for the Big Man to make an appearance -- less then 50 days to Christmas, folks! I wanted to get some pictures of the boys in Christmas shirts and post them before the holidays because otherwise, it would just never happen. Also, Logan's are 0-3 months and he's getting close to the next size, so I wanted him to wear them at least once (this particular outfit is running a bit big, so crossing my fingers it will fit him for another month and we can get a picture of him and Sofia in their matching outfits).
Above :: James, always the silly man, successfully getting a smile out of his brother but not letting me see his face for the picture

James kept telling us there was a "snowman" on his shirt -- need to work on that one (I believe they were talking about snowmen at school one day). We're excited to bring out the Elf on the Shelf for this year as he loves hide-and-seek.

The actual smile was fantastic -- execution of picture taking by Mom :: failed; thus, the picture of Logan looking hammered...or maybe it was Logan imitating me sticking my tongue out at him :-)

Everchanging

The picture below is for Gma Chele :: Logan's eye color at 11 weeks -- a little out of focus but still mostly green with some browns creeping through...maybe it will be more hazel? Only time will tell, just gonna have to wait it out!
This kiddo can sleep pretty much anywhere! Here, he fell asleep sitting up on the couch where I perched him to give him a change of scenery. As James would say, "Silly Logan!"

What a Difference 6 Months Makes!

I was determined to get a picture of Ben (James' friend Katie's little brother) and Logan in cute matching outfits while they were still "little" (doesn't really apply to B.Dub anymore as he's rocking the top end of the growth charts)...needed some cute pics to bust out at high school graduation :-) It's really nice to have kids that are so close in age to compare war stories with...confirms that you aren't the only ones going through the tough times (non-sleeping nights, teething, 2-year old independence, etc.) and you can enjoy the fun things with them too!

Ben (9 months) and Logan (almost 3 months) Logan sitting in the Bumbo for the first time -- we'll have to bring our Bebe pod chair up and let him practice -- still a little bobble head-ish but getting stronger and more control over it every day!

Murmation

Wow, Mother Nature sure has some cool things up her sleeve...read the story here. Thanks, Sheryl (Jersey Mom Blogging) and your hubby, Jim, for posting! It gets really neat at 0:50.

Logan :: 11 weeks

Look at those chubby, totally kissable cheek-os :-) Don't you just want to eat him up? Logi is gearing up for Thanksgiving and wishes he could feast on real food; however, it's milk only for him this year, sorry Bear! He thought it was hilarious when I asked him if he was my "little pilgrim" -- got some good grins (but always seem to miss them on camera).
Side updates :: Logan is getting much more head control (although I still have a sore occipital bone from the head banging); he has discovered his hands, but often forgets they are there; and, all three of our favorite, he is smiling and "talking" a ton lately!!! We've had some great talks in Gerber, involving lots of different "goo"s, "ga"s and "ah goo"s...love this stage of speech development.
