3 months old

Logan is already 3 months old - I cannot believe how fast it has gone by!

He is amazing us more and more every day! He is laughing out loud, cooing and babbling alot (he is a talker!), blowing bubbles, smiling, and trying to sit up. I love just watching him because he is so enthralled with the world around him and I love seeing it again through his eyes!

I now understand what my mom means when she always used to say, "You can never love someone as much as you love your own child". I feel like I love him more every day! Chuck and I feel SO blessed and can't imagine what we did with ourselves before Logan came along :)

Daddy teaching Logan his letters and numbers - already! :)

I LOVE that smile.... and those dimples.... and the chubby cheeks....

Merry Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas!!

We had a wonderful Christmas with our family! We attended the CandleLight Service at our church - it was amazing! Logan was enthralled with the music and the lights. He was smiling and cooing for almost the whole service :) Then we had a delicious dinner that Kristin made. Christmas has a whole new meaning for us this year - we realize more and more each day how blessed we are and what an amazing family we have!!

Logan loved to just stare at all the Christmas lights!

Look Mom, I have a candy cane!

I loved this little Santa suit...

Yeah! Presents! :)

Trying to sit up at 12 weeks old

What a Blessing!!

I have to start this by stating that I have the MOST amazing husband in the whole world....

I went back to work yesterday after being home with Logan for almost 12 weeks. I had been dreading this day since I delivered him back in September. It was hard enough going back to work but the 12 hour shifts made it seem impossible.

But my loving husband was so supportive and took the day off, so he could be home with Logan for my first day back at work. Chuck was soooo excited (really he was!) to take Logan for a whole day. He said that he wanted to experience what I had been doing all along (God DOES answer our prayers ;)

When I came home that night, Chuck and Logan were still in one piece :) and as happy as can be! And to my GREAT surprise, Chuck had done laundry, ran the dishwasher, AND mopped the floors downstairs!!!! How lucky can a woman get!

So I think that this transition into a working mom will go smoother than I had anticipated and it is all because God blessed me with a wonderful family! I had always wanted to be a stay-at-home mom but I now think I will be able to juggle both. Thank you Chuck and Kristin for being such a great support system for this working mom!!!!

Logan Meets Santa Claus

As any new mom, I just HAD to take Logan to the Superstition Springs Mall to meet Santa Claus. It is going to be his first Christmas, after all :)

This afternoon we sat in line at the mall for over an hour.... God must really love us because Logan was content just being held and watching the commotion around him. He even stayed awake for the picture and fell asleep as soon as we laid him back in the car seat. He was so patient and didn't fuss at all.... What a good little boy!

10 weeks old

Logan is 10 weeks old today... I cannot believe how time flies!

He went to his 2 month doctor visit last Thursday and he now officially weighs 13 lbs 1.5 oz and is in the 75th percentile for both his height and weight. I guess Mommy is feeding him well :)

Look how big I have grown!

Logan loves his tummy time.... for about 10 minutes max :)

Family Pictures

While my family was visiting from Montana, we had some professional pictures taken because it was the first time we were all together since I was in high school... They turned out pretty good considering Logan cried the whole time. (It is hard being 8 weeks old and sitting still for pictures after an hour and a half in a small waiting room packed with people) Poor little guy! :(

Mom, Me, Cody, and Carly

It says " Ten perfect fingers, Ten perfect toes, Mommy's eyes, Daddy's nose, Oh, little baby, How much you are loved!"
