life with logan:-)

Just a quick update... I was sitting here with Logan tonight and got to thinking about what a wonderful little miracle Tom and I have... And wanted to share some thoughts!

These are just a few of my thoughts/facts about my sweet little (almost!) 3 month old boy....

1. He has the most beautiful smile in the world! He can light up a room, and can most certainly make the worst of days the best.

2. He has acid reflux. Yuck! It has it's ups and downs, good days and bad, but overall, I think Logan deals with it very well. Now, don't get me wrong, he does get fussy! But his good days out number his bad by far.

3. This little man "gives good face". Look at the eye brows and that look! His facial expressions are hilarious! I wonder where he gets that from...

4. He is the cutest GINGER baby I have ever seen! ( Sorry, Teresa!)

5. When he talks, listen up people! It's entertaining to listen to him coo and giggle. It's almost like he's really talking and he's got a lot to say! And sometimes, he'll shake his head like he understands what you are saying to him!

6. He isn't sleeping thru the night yet, but is sleeping about 5 to 6 hours. I am completely convinced that he only wakes up around 3 A.M to see his mommy. He misses me so much in the middle of the night, he's just got to get another good look at me...that and he wants to eat another 4-5 ounces:-)

7. He is not a big fan of his car seat or car rides. Oh my, oh my... He is not a happy camper when you put him in to go somewhere. So crazy to me, because I am almost sure putting me in the car seat and taking me for a ride was exactly how my parents put me to sleep when I was a baby!

8. He loves sticking his whole hand in his mouth... It is the silliest thing I have ever seen and I wish I had a picture to show. And wow, does this kid drool! He is a mess!

9. I can not even begin to tell you how much I love this little boy. It is almost indescribable! But I can tell you that when I see him, my heart just melts and I love him a little more everyday.

2009 was a crazy year and brought about a lot of good things. But nothing can top the birth of Logan Thomas. It has changed our lives, but all for the good! I can't imagine what could make this life better. I am definitely blessed, beyond what I deserve.

And for that, I am truly grateful.

Logan got to take his first road trip on February 12. We went down to San Antonio to visit some of my family. Tom had to work so my mom joined us for the trip! Which worked out great.. She kept him company in the back seat since he's not a real big fan of riding in the car!

This is at El Chaparral. Don't let the smile fool you, though. He doesn't enjoy his car seat either! He would rather sit at the table with you and join in the conversation.

He got loved on by everyone this weekend!! Aunt Pam calmed him down after the car ride to the house. And she watched him while Nicole, Tiffany and I went and got pedicures! Thanks, Aunt Pam!!

This picture makes me laugh...He makes the silliest faces! And he loves his hands!

This is BAM (Brandon), Nicole's son. This is the only picture I could get him to sit still for! I still don't know how I did it.

Brody, Tiffany's son. Those 2 boys are so stinking cute ! I had such a good time just watching them play around the house. I can't wait until Logan is big enough to play too!

This is take 1 of the cousins and kids photo... we couldn't get Brandon to sit still and Brody just wanted to watch Yo Gabba Gabba on TV. And well Logan, ya can't really control what he does!

Take 2. I could not stop laughing...Brody kept getting angry because Uncle Mark was standing in front of the TV and blocking his show!! And Brandon, well, he's just being himself:-) And Logan is probably looking at the fan...it mesmerizes him!

Take 3. I love this one! This is life for us now... Crazy how we've all grown up. I can remember us being little and running around Maw Maw and Paw Paw's house and our parents chasing after us. Now it's us doing the chasing!

This is my grandmother, Big G. She was so surprised that we came to town! I am glad we got to spend some time with her. And Logan enjoyed her too! She sang to him in Polish and he giggled and smiled at her. It was so cute!

Again, I can't believe this is my life. I have a beautiful little boy, and a wonderful little family.

And this life may not be perfect, but it's mine. And I feel so lucky to have it!

walking in a winter wonder-what??!!

Let me just start by saying this...

I have never, ever seen this much snow in Texas. I thought for a second that we were in Iowa. It was light and fluffy, and so beautiful!! And it was so great, we even got a snow day!

This is the snow man that Tom and I built. Well, Tom built it..I stood out in the cold and watched and assisted...kind of:-)

We got 12 inches of snow total...It started snowing sometime in the early morning and didn't stop until the next morning.

It was so beautiful! But in the end, I was actually glad to see it go. I can only take so much snow and being inside...

This past week the weather was beautiful- in the 50's and sunny.

Only in Texas, my friends. Only in Texas.

Happy 2 Months, Logan Thomas!

Wow, I can't believe it.. 2 months ago, we were celebrating the birth of the most amazing little boy on this planet! He has been the biggest blessing and so far, my biggest accomplishment in life:-) I cannot even begin to say how much I love him! Here are some pictures from the past few days...

He weighs in at 12 lbs 5 oz and is at a whopping 24 inches! He was so good at the doctor today..that is, until the nurse stuck him with 3 needles! But I am not sure who cried more...me or Logan!

This is right before bath time.. He loves the bath now! This picture is one of my favorites. He has started to see himself in the mirror and his facial expressions crack me up!

2 months old and such a big boy!!

Out of all of the pictures though, this one is the best. That smiling, happy little monster is ours and we are so in love with that sweet little face!

He makes my day so much better just to see him smile, laugh and coo. It's almost like he wants to talk! I cannot get over how big he has gotten and how much he has developed!

Here's to you, LT. Happy 2 months, my little monster. Mommy and Daddy love you!
