Stand Up

This week Logan decided he likes standing! During one of his "real" baths he grabbed a hold of the side of the tub, pulled, rose to his knees, pulled more, and rose to his feet, still holding the side of the tub so his cute little naked butt was sticking in the air! At first I was shoked. Then, I realized, it's probably just a fluke thing. He probably won't do it again for another few weeks. Well, I was proven wrong the next day during a pretnd bath. Now that we're a few days past that, he's got this pulling to a standing position thing down really good. He's outgrown the pretand baths now. He just pulls himself right up, and I can't depend on it occupying him for more than five minutes at a time. He is very happy holding on to your fingers and just standing there. He could be cranky on the floor, all you have to do is pull him up to stand, and he's as happy as a lark. (not even quite sure what exactly a lark is, but I heard someone say that before) He does wobble quite a bit, but I'm not sure if it's instability or dancing. :) Either way, it's still cute!
Also, he's been talking up a storm. Wednesday night, we were sitting together and he was just looking at my face, so I said to him, "Mama." He watched. I repeated. Then, he repeated! We did this over and over. I even recorded it on my phone just in case he didn't do it again, I had proof. He actually did it for a few days, then moved on to "baba". Now he's on "wawa". :) He is so funny, though. I was washing dishes last night while Andrew was holding him, and he was just talking, and talking! Our little boy is growing so fast, I can't even believe it!
Logan is sick again. He's got a nasty cough and runny nose. Andrew and I are sick, too. I'll tell ya what, this is a pain! All three of us have been sick, started to get better, then get worse! We've been following the doctor's orders and giving Logan some vitamin D3 drops, Emergen-c and flushing out his nose. (he doesn't like that part) We went to the doctor's on Friday because he still wasn't getting better, and Logan's being sick makes Andrew really nervous. They used a nebulizer on him and it looks like we're going to have to get one for him to use for a week if he's not better by Monday. That's not fun, either. He's got to wear a mask and sit still for a few minutes. Ha.
Andrew's at church, Logan's sleeping, Brownie's sleeping, and I'm wishing I was sleeping. I made chili for tonight after church. At least I got one thing accomplished!

Yay!

every time i post i try to get a picture. obviously it doesn't always work. this time it did! i wasn't even going to post anything related to this picture, so here's the cute little goofy boy! this is my favorite picture of him so far! i don't know if anyone has ever thought of this before. i thought i was pretty smart for thinking of this, myself. logan's been getting "pretend baths". i put him in the bathtub with all his toys and fully dressed. he has so much fun and he'll stay in there for a half hour or more if i let him. then, when i'm ready to do something else, i just simply take him out. there's no drying, no clean up, no re-dressing! so easy! i love being smart sometimes!

Logan's Accomplishments!

Today, Logan is s6 months and 17 days old! Can you believe he is MORE than half a YEAR old ALREADY!? (Over emphasize the capitalized words for the full effect) I did't get a baby book from any of his showers and when I went to go buy him one I thought I could easily make one, but I never got to it, and by the looks of it, I don't know if I will :D I did write some down on the calendar. Being a new year, I got a new calendar, and before i throw away my old one, I need to record the old ones down somewhere.

Poor boy

Logan doesn't feel well. Not because he's sick. Because He is teething. Yay. :( (That was sarcasm) So my poor boy isn't happy. He looks like a poor little homeless boy that on one care about because no matter how often I wipe the boogers off his nose and eyes, they still keep coming! :( He would rather keep them there, though than let me clean them.
It started Sunday night. Mrs. Randall was hol.ding him after church and noticed he was warm. When we got home I took his temperature, and it was 101.7! So we gave him tylenol and it went down. Luckily he had a Doctor appointment on Monday at 9AM already scheduled! She looked in his ears and listened to his lungs. She told me she thinks it's just teething. Andrew said it's okay to treat him extra special when he's not feeling well because that's what he would want. :) So my boy is being spoiled and loved. He may not look like it, but he is :)
He is so goofy still, though. We were sitting at the piano, playing and singing. He loves to sing and dance while I play. It must run in the family. Which side? Either, I guess ;)
Oh and I forgot to put the website address :) warmncozy.webs.com

Might as well..

If I'm going to be crochting this much I might as well get paid for it! Andrew's already gotten 4 "beard hat" orders for me, and that's $20 each! So, I started a website to sell my hand-made goods. I'm getting better at it than I used to be. I'm also finding more neat stuff to make. That's thanks to Pinterest! I've already made a really cute ear-warmer and some super adorable slippers.

**OH, RANDOM THOUGHT!**
(This is how my mind works) I dyed my hair red! Well, highlighted. It's not really even noticable, but it made me happy. :)

Back to what I was talking about.... I found all of Audrianna's birthday presents on there to make.
