6 months

Logan had his 6 month check-up about 2 weeks ago. He weighed 16 lbs 7.5oz (50th percentile) and was 27 and 3/4 inches log (90-95 percentile). He has started solid foods and loves them! He has eaten cereal, peas, green beans, and avacados so far. Oh, and he loves it when I dab his teething toys on a lime. Wierd! He has two bottom teeth that broke through just before he turned 5 months. He is easily distracted so feeding him isn't always the easiest task. He holds his mouth wide open, it just isnt always easy chasing his mouth down before he looks somewhere else. I say he already has ADD. He hates to sit still and always wants to stand. If he is fussy most of the time you can let him stand up and hold his hands to let him walk around and he is good to go. With the help of Grandma he is successfully sleeping in his crib and is no longer swaddled. We still use the swing for naps sometimes but it is not his main sleeping place anymore. Woohoo! He sleeps anywhere from 8 to 10 hours at night now which is great! He is starting to immitate sounds that we make. He loves to blow raspberries and for some reason he loves to make a grunting noise At first we thought he was pooping but he does it frequently and will copy you if you do it to him. He has starting throwing toys and gets mad when he drops a toy that he can't reach anymore. He laughs uncontrolably when you tickle him when plaing peek-a-boo or when you poke his belly in the bath tub. He is definitely evolving from an infant to a little person. Logan has been to lots of football games this year. We go to watch my kids from school or my brother's team. He likes to be outside and see all the people. He still shows little interest in crawling. He is starting toget frustrated that he can not get around the way he wants to. He just wants to walk. Forget this crawling business. We went to Target and took some 6th month pictures. They turned out awesome. I dont have them to post, but hopefully soon. We are looking forward to Logan's first Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas! I love the fall and the holidays so I am hoping he will learn to love them too.

This is one of Logan's first experiences with cereal. At first he was more interested in the spoon than the food.

New House

We will be closing on our new house in less than a week! Our current house is still on the market and we have decided to list it as a lease as well as a sell. We got a good deal on a bigger house so we decided to take the opportunity to upgrade while the prices where good. The down side to that is trying to sell our house has been a little hard. We may have to lease for a year and try and sell again next year. We are planning on staying in our current house until we either lease or sell it unless it takes too long and then we will move over my Thanksgiving break regardless. We are not looking forward to packing and moving but I am looking forward to the new house. Here are some pictures of the outside of the new house. Its only about a mile from our current place.

My official 5 month shot. He has gotten a lot taller in the last month.

Daddy decided my hair-do was boring so he gave me a mohawk! How do I look???

5 months waaaay late!

Well, 6 months has flown by and I never posted at 5 months. The card reader on my computer was messed upand I was'nt able to transfer pictures for a while. Logan's 5th month was a crazy one. I started back to work and Logan stays with his Grandma (Shawn's mom). We are so lucky to have her wathcing him. I never have to worry about him as I know he is in great hands. Don't know what we would do without her. I officially graduated with my masters. Although I finished my coursework in May, official graduation was in August. I am hoping to start applying for principal jobs in a few years. The picture taking seemed to slow down this month, perhaps due to adding work into the equation but none the less here our a few pictures of our ever changing little man who is become more interested in everything we do.


I still enjoy my walks at night!

Hanging out in mom's locker room at school. Dad balanced me up in a locker.

Mini photo shoot at home. I kept trying to move his arms, but this is the pose he kept doing :)

At League City Park having breakfast with Aunt Lauren. This is my 'baby' sister who is already 12 and 5 ft 8. Not so little anymore.

I want to drink like a big boy!

6 month post to come in about 10 minutes so I don't forget!
