....But that's just Utah.... It's been a fun week, even with the crazy weather that changes every hour! We've kept pretty busy this week, I feel like I need a week to just sit, and do nothing. Ain't happenin' though!
I've had these teething necklaces since Logan was born. I haven't worn them much lately, but got one out for him to chew on since he's cutting molars. He loves it but mostly cuz he figured out how to put it on himself, haha!
I look forward to this every. single. day. It's going to be so hard when this kid decides he's too cool to cuddle with mommy anymore.
Watching the thunder and lightning out Logan's window!
So fun!
It was a strong storm and he enjoyed watching it pound the windows.
We went to the library that night. Of course he went straight for the train table.
I guess Santa did a good job, choosing a wagon for Logan for Christmas!
Every time we've gone in the garage this week, he runs straight to the wagon, pushes it onto the driveway, and tries to climb in! He just loves getting pulled around!
We may or may not have had cupcakes after lunch one day....
Another nap. I'm jealous of my son's eyelashes....
He's not a fan of swings, but ADORES the slide. Over and over and over and over and.....
Daddy shared his Dew, le sigh.
Splash!
We went to the splash pad again this morning. I'm really impressed with it. It's not just some sprinklers, but also a little waterfall and pretty long, shallow river. Plenty of space for everyone to play!
This time, we remembered a swimsuit, sunblock, towel, lunch, umbrella. We were set for the morning!
I'm glad he enjoys water cuz there will be a lot of water play this summer!
And maybe I should consider sunblock too.... You can see where my hair hung all morning, haha.
Loving the warmer weather lately. It makes me happy.
My cute friend Kim and her little family came over for BBQ Saturday night! Both of our Logans looooved splashing in the water of the new pool. Haha, and though it was a little cold for actual swimming, the clothes-less one fell in....
Dancing for brownies. The kid adores sugar!
I've realized lately that Logan and I dress alike really often. I totally don't do it on purpose! But some days.... I get myself ready, get him dressed, then look down and notice that I picked stuff that matches. Weird subconscious, I guess.
Logan's girlfriend was blessed yesterday! I don't have many pics, other than Logan hanging out with Daddy and reeeeeeeeaching for a cupcake.
Springville had the official grand opening of the new splash pad on Saturday! But I heard it was super busy so we didn't go until this morning. I'm really impressed, it's bigger and more interactive than I thought it would be! It was so fun and Logan had a blast!
And apparently I did a dang good job wearing him out today cuz we sat down to watch a little bit of a movie before his nap and it took me a few minutes to realize he crashed immediately.
Ugh, I really let time get away from me last month. Between getting sick with strep, photography, and working on promoting with Pink Lemonade, it just added up to me not blogging here.
So here's a realllllly long photo (and a few videos) post to catch up. I have been keeping up with posting on FB and Instagram, but I will try to do better here too, for those of you (heh-hem, DAD!) who resist social media.
Beginning of the month: Logan was all set to go to watch conference in his chair! And wake Daddy when he took a nap!
Cute kid
I picked up my father-in-law's dogs from the groomer one day and they all thought they got to sit on the baby's lap. Tommy won.
Logan's most favorite book of all time. We've since gotten him Cat and Dog too. He loves them all!
You know your kid is spoiled, when he opens a book and immediately starts feeling the pages for textures or moving parts! (Mostly due to the books mentioned above.)
Took Logan to visit my memories one day. I don't visit my Cherry Creek friends often enough!
Wanting to help Daddy work on his school project.
Hanging out with his girlfriend while mommy was off at a shoot. They're so cute together!
For once, he actually fell asleep in the car. Silly dude.
My family says Becks looks like a dead bug. I might agree. This was how I found him one morning, after a long night of playing in the fields.
Logan giving "hugs" to Beckham. I'm so impressed with how patient Becks always is with him! (Never mind the fall, he's fine. You can see at the end, it doesn't discourage him from climbing back up!)
Making friends with Aunt Janai's Dobby while I was at the doc. I love that my little guy is such an animal lover!
My sis sent me this one, I don't know when it was, but Logan's silly cousin Dade was helping him eat while Rob and I were out.
At the Elder's Quorum BBQ. Who needs parents, friends, or toys, when you have a bucket of water to play with?
He did share it with a couple cute friends though!
My fearless boy. One of the many times he found something more interesting than parents and ran off down the street.
Sitting in Daddy's chair, watching Happy Feet.
For my trekkie family.... We call this Vulcan death tickles. Logan is ALWAYS ticklish! And in really random places, like his shoulders.
This is how he sits in shopping carts now. He's too cool for staring at Mom the whole time.
Can you say Attitude? (Are we there yet?)
Kjelsie had to have some major dental work and a few extractions the other day. She thought she deserved the big cushy seat on the way home from surgery. It was good to learn that she's pretty healthy for her age too, and should be with us a while longer!
My sick boys playing together. We have been a home of pestilence the last couple weeks. First I got strep, then Logan got a cold, and finally Rob caught my strep. Lucky for Rob, I had already tried to tough mine out for a week, thinking it was just influenza, only to finally break down, go to a doc, and get a positive strep test for once. So as soon as Rob showed symptoms, he went right off, got a positive test also, and got some antibiotics.
I'm so amazed and impressed with my Logan! We were playing with his stacking cups last night and had them all nested together except the smallest yellow cup. I pointed to where it was sitting with other toys under a chair, across the room, and said "Go get the yellow cup!" And you know what?
He did!
I guess I didn't expect him to really do it so I was shocked and proud that my little guy understood that I was asking for that yellow cup and not one of the many other toys around it. I just love seeing my little guy learning! So, sometimes Logan will wake in the middle of a nap, sit up, maybe whine a little, and then go back to sleep. But this is how I know he's truly done sleeping:
He starts ejecting stuff from the crib. (Sometimes the pillow pet goestoo, if he feels like lifting it over the rails.)
And lastly, happy early Mother's Day to me! I'm in housewifey heaven!
I can't believe I'm already seeing it used by the church! I mean, I certainly love the photo, and of course I think my son is the cutest thing on Earth, but have wondered if I'm just seeing everything through a mother's eyes....
