Crafty
Not only has Logi-boy been keeping me busy, but I've been crocheting like crazy! I made Logan an adorable owl hat and a beard for his camo hat. For Audrianna and Timmy I made them Hello Kitty and a doggie hat. For her birthday I made her Hello Kitty mittens and a matching scarf. Phew! THEN I made two scarves for Christmas also. I made 3 beard hats (made $20 each on those!) and I have an order for another one today! Yay! Then... I made a pair of super huge slippers.. the huge part was an accident. They don't even fit me. What a waste. They fit Andrew, though. :) The flower was a nice touch ;) Then I made a pair in the right size for me, and I like the color better. Tomorrow when we go pick up our new truck, (!) I'm going to look into fleece for a lining for my slippers and maybe some kind of tread for the bottom. We'll see how that goes. Now that I finished my stuff to craft I'm looking for something else to make! I have a tote full of yarn but I feel like I need to buy more. Is that a sickness? Hmm... What to make...

random thoughts
Look at those rolls!
Oh he is getting so big. Did you know that my baby will be half a year already on Monday!!!?
He is a pro now at opening presents. Just put a wrapped present in front of him, show him a good piece to rip and there he goes!
Shopping is officially not fun anymore. Especially in the cold. And when it's windy. And did I mention cold?
We're getting a new truck! Ford Expedition. Seats 8! Sunroof! HEATED leather seats! DVD player! YAY!
Logan's going to be a singer. :)
Brownie is Logan's favorite family member. He thinks she is hilarious. All she has to do is chew a ball in front of him and he's laughing hard.

Logan - 5 months, 6 days
Logan is now sitting up without support for a few minutes at a time!
He thinks the dog is the most fascinating thing in the room and watches her walk all around. When she comes close by he puts his hand in front of her mouth and tries to get her to lick him. When his plan works he laughs and laughs.
He talks to me. More like yells.
He found his feet and likes to suck on his toes when they are not covered.
Logan loves to watch the computer screen saver. He knows right where I keep the computer, and always looks right at it waiting for it to move.
He scratches at everything. When the remote is within reach he scratches at it until it falls.
This baby loves to be undressed. That's how he is happiest.
He is quick! Go ahead and put a hot cup of tea in front of him and he'll tip it over faster than you think.
I love this baby!

Sorry no pictures :)
Mostly because I'm too lazy to go get the other computer out. I have to eventually because I need to hook it up to the scanner so I can email a picture for the newspaper.
Logan is so adorable though. His little teeth are trying so hard to get through, but haven't succeeded yet.
Monday, he started with a little cough. I called the doctor's office to ask if there was anything preventative to give him, but they couldn't answer that without seeing him first. She listened to his lungs, looked in his ears and nose. She said it's just a cold and to give him more probiotics. I kinda felt like an over-protective mom, but they said with him being so young it was good to bring him in. I did find out that he grew an inch and a pound, though. He is now 14 pounds, 4 ounces! Little chunker. Well his cough is much worse today, so now I don't feel as paranoid now because it makes you sad listening to his little cough. It's so pathetic. He's still happy though.
Our Christmas tree is all set up and decorated. The house is all Christmasy! There's a Christmas CD in the player. All we need is presents :) Andrew's is on order. He picked it out. He's getting his deer mounted. I ordered Logan's on Monday. (ha, it's shoes, but he won't care this year.) But, so far that's all I've got. My brain isn't working so well this year. I have no idea what to get anyone. Oh, Brownie is done, too. She's getting two big bones.
So I've got to go check on my little sick baby. He's been napping for over 2 hours now.

Cuteness
How come you never hear someone say, "I'm as busy as a mom with a small baby"? How busy is a bee really anyways? Or a beaver? Or maybe it doesn't help that I volunteer in the school every week and have 7+ piano students.
Logan had a doctor's appointment today. He weighs 13 pounds and some ounces. (I stopped listening after the 13. lol) He rolled over for the nurse, and he has 2 top teeth coming in and one bottom one.
He's really getting so big. He was lounging here, in his boppy seat and he sat himself right up.
We started solid foods about a week and a half ago. Logan has always been a great sleeper. Right about 3 days after bringing him home he slept in 4-hour intervals through the night. At a month he was doing 4-6 hours, at 2 months he was doing 6-8 and every so often 9 hours. About two or three weeks ago he went back to 4 hours. every. night. >:-| Some mothers at church had told me I should try solids. My plan was to start him on solids as late as possible, but if it meant back to normal sleep, I'd try anything. I'm going to try to make his baby foods, but I was so desperate one day that I just went to the store and bought 3 jars of sweet potatoes. (The baby food book I have suggested it was one of the good "first foods") He loved them. Picture above. The second time I fed him, I put the spoon full of food in front of his mouth, and he grabbed my hand, and pulled it in. He knew what to do! He ate his food all up with no problem. After he was done, I put a bottle with water in front of him, on his highchair and he picked it up and put it right in his mouth! Andrew and I just looked at each other with our jaws dropped! How did he get so big so fast?
He's had sweet potatoes, rice cereal, and bananas so far. The doctor gave the okay for other fruits and vegetables, too. Yay for peas! :) Oh, and grandma-great gave him his first ice cream, and the next day he ate sweet potatoes from the table, and some ice cream cake!
Hes trying so hard to tell us stories, it's so funny. He'll look at you, grab your cheeks with his slobbery hands, pull in, and give you a big open-mouthed kiss. I don't think that's what he's intending, but I like to think it. He blows bubbles, laughs, and talks so much now. Bath time has always been his favorite. He'd splash away for hours if I'd let him.
I just got out his 6-9 month size for one piece outfits. The other size was getting a little snug. His pants still fit... his waist it still small, believe it or not.
I spent a lot of money on that nice camera of mine, but I mostly use my phone for pictures now. I need to take a few minutes some day to delete some pictures from my memory card. I'm sure I don't still need the last sportsman dinner or even my bridal shower pictures anymore!!!!!
Oh yeah, that reminds me that Logan had his pictures taken at Sears on Wednesday. I had a coupon for $7.99 to get 26 prints in one pose. What a great deal, right? Even though I just had Julia take pictures last month.I was determined to not let them talk me into getting anything more than that. Ha. Well I can't help it my baby's so darn cute!!! I ended up spending $110. BUT in my defense, I got a smile saver club thingy which gets me a free 8x10 at every visit and buy one get one free Monday through Thursdays. And there's lots of pictures for family and for scrapbooking. That reminds me.... I need to start Logan's scrapbook. Maybe next naptime. :) If I remember.
Oh, and it doesn't help me with my busy-ness issue that I was cleaning my house all week for a party last night. Its messy again already, but it was clean for the party and that's all that counts.
Okie dokie... I typed a lot more than I thought I was going to. It's good though. Now I can forget it and have room in my head to remember other stuff.
