Special Mommy Moments

As any Mom knows, little every day moments with your children are the most special memories! Logan is getting so big so fast, and it makes me realize how important every day is with him. Chuck and I are so blessed to be able to spend this time with him instead of having to take him to daycare.

Supporting our local baseball team - the Arizona Diamondbacks!

Don't tell Daddy - he is a Cubs fan :)

Enjoying Bathtime!!

I cannot believe he can sleep like that....

Happy Easter!

So I finally got Logan's JCPenney pictures in my email.... So I am going to wish everyone a Happy Easter and post these pictures a little early. (I can't help myself...the pictures turned out so good that I have to post them right away. :)

Happy Easter from the Madler family!!

Logan is 6 months old!

As unbelieveable as it seems to Chuck and I, Logan is already 6 months old. Our little guy is no longer so little and he is moving like crazy. He likes to just sit on the floor and play with his toys where just a few months ago he wanted to be carried everywhere. Chuck and I don't know what to do now that we don't have to lug Logan around all the time. We are pretty sure that Logan is going to be crawling any time now because he doesn't like to stay in one spot for too long. He already scoots himself backwards on his belly if he wants to get somewhere.




Gotta love those naked pictures!


Getting SO big


We also took Logan swimming for the first time last Friday evening. We brought pizza over to the Merwin's and spent a wonderful evening with John, Kristin, Kayli, Brooklyn, and Kyler. Chuck took Logan in the pool (it was heated - 95 degrees) and it took him a few minutes to get used to it and then he loved it!



Getting used to the pool



Logan got a swimming lesson from Brooklyn

Enjoying fresh oranges from our backyard. Mmmmm.... good stuff!



(I took Logan to get professional pictures taken for 6 months/Easter so I will post those when I get them sometime next week)

Springtime in Arizona!!

Springtime in Arizona is wonderful - 75 degree days with a slight breeze and LOTS of sunshine! We have been outside every day soaking up this fabulous weather before it gets hot. Logan is officially sitting up by himself and it is so funny because he acts like it is a whole new world now that he has a better view :)

It's so bright Mom!

Sitting up so big!

Visiting Daddy at work and helping sell mattresses ;)

Big Boy!

Logan is getting so big we can hardly believe it! He is 5 1/2 months old and just amazes us every day. He starting sitting up by himself for short periods of time and he scoots around on his belly. He can get his knees up under himself but cannot figure out how to coordinate his arms at the same time. He is such an active little boy - he is always kicking around or moving somewhere. I think Chuck and I are going to be in for a wild ride when Logan starts crawling and walking....

Sitting up so big :)

Our beautiful blue-eyed babe!

I love this face!! He was mad at me for spiking his hair... and taking so many pictures...

5 months old

Logan was 5 months old on 2/28... I cannot believe how the time flies. He is laughing and smiling ALL the time and just yesterday, he figured out that he can squeal.... really loud! He is amazed with the world around him and LOVES being outside!

Mommy... I'm not so sure if I like this stuff...

Ok... I guess it is fun!

Enjoying our beautiful weather before it gets hot...

Logan's First Flight

We flew back to Montana last week for a classmate's funeral so Logan had his first airplane ride at 4 1/2 months old. Chuck was joking with me on the flight saying that Logan is 20 years ahead of me because I didn't fly on an airplane until I was 21 years old. ;) The trip was very short but Logan was able to meet alot of his extended family so that made the trip easier.

I'm not so sure about this Mommy...

This is fun!

Hiking in Arizona

Chuck and I actually had a day off together today! We decided to go out hiking and enjoy our beautiful Arizona weather!! Here are some pictures of our "family day" today :)

Ready for our adventure

He loves being outside!!

Logan was worn out after 3 hours of hiking up the mountain

Fun Day!!

4 months old

Our young man is getting bigger every day. We have tried cereal a few times, but he still likes his milk better :)

Chuck and Logan really have a great time together when I am at work. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family and I am glad that Chuck gets to be actively involved in Logan's life also!



4 months old - He is growing up SO fast and getting bigger every day!


Logan is getting ready for our sunny AZ summers!! :)

Bathtime

As any new mom, I love taking pictures of Logan. My favorite pictures are of bathtime. Logan has loved bathtime ever since the day he was born and we both really enjoy this time together!

Shampooing his little patches of hair ;)

Admiring himself in the mirror (He knows he is a cutie!)

A Cold Evening in Arizona

This is for all of our family in Montana ;)

Chuck, Logan and I went for a walk the other night and it was pretty cold for Arizona (40 degrees)!

I thought Logan looked so cute all bundled up for our walk around the neighborhood. I don't know if he would survive in the freezing Montana winters ;)

He is definitely an Arizona baby!!
