best buds

logan had his 6-month check up on 2/12 (even though he turned 7 months old today). loges is doing great! he did well during his appointment today. . . i think he liked the doctor's glasses. he was smiling and showing off for her. she was impressed with his gross motor abilities. logan is clapping and waving, which she said doesn't typically happen until 9 months. he is doing lots of pinwheels and rolling of course. he weighed in at 19 pounds, 8 ounces (the 75th percentile). his length and head size were in the 90th percentile. way to go bubbas! he is also getting 3 more teeth! yep! 3! 2 on the top front and 1 on the bottom next to the 2 he already has in the front. Soon, my baby will have 5 teeth! wow!

my little weirdo loves getting his teeth brushed

"this is so fun!"

he loves brushing his own teeth too!

"i love this guys!"

a moment worth stopping for

last friday, i was driving around getting lunch for me with logan in the back seat. while i was stopped at a red light, i looked in my rear view mirror and had a moment. a moment of utter and complete peace. a moment of pure love. all was right in the world. at least in my world. at that very moment, no worries entered my mind. no stress. in my rear view mirror, all i saw was my son. happy. smily. wonderful. my eyes welled up with tears. happy tears. i smiled from ear to ear. i love my days with loges. he's the best.

Rice Cereal

we gave logan his very first meal of rice cereal last week. he seemed to like it for the most part. here are a few pictures of logan enjoying his dinner!

we took a pretty funny video, but i couldn't figure out how to post it

uh-oh, we might be in trouble here. . .

hmm. . just look at that face!

"what do you think loges?"

he likes it! he really, really likes it! whew!

Sea Life

while my parents were here for my graduation a couple of weekends ago, we checked out legoland's new aquarium, sea life. we wanted to do something new for everyone so sea life was the perfect choice. it was cute but i definitely would have rather gone to legoland. i love that place! after sea life, we all went to the carlsbad outlets. i got a new coach purse with some of my graduation money (thanks everyone!) and logan got a lot of cute new clothes. thanks grandma and papa! we love having you visit us! here are a few pictures from our day.
