PJ Day, Pumpkin Pagent and 3 Weeks...

Today was PJ day at school and Wacky hat day!  K chose a princess ball cap :).  Justin kept telling her that it wasn't a wacky cap, but she didn't care.

Friday is the Pumpkin Pageant at school.  If the kids wanted to participate they were to completely decorate a pumpkin on their own with their own ideas.  So today, I drug out a TON of craft supplies, stickers and glue and let K go to town.  Here is her finished product:

Instead of a pumpkin H used paper.  Here is her project.  

(I swear she was having fun, she just wouldn't smile for the camera!)

 Today Logan is 3 weeks!  Hard to believe.  Justin says his cheeks are filling out. I don't know about that, but he is a good little guy!  I forgot that sometimes newborns just need Mommy - and I LOVE it!  He does good napping in his pack n play or bassinet during the day.  At night he is pretty good about eating and going right back to sleep.  He does spit up a few times a day (very small amounts), but it is still a learning curve for me because the girls did not spit/puke AT ALL.

Making faces at me this morning:

Logan's Announcement.

About a week and a half ago Jecca came over to take Logan's baby announcement pictures. 

(I waited to post them until most people had received the birth announcement.)

 Here are our favorites:

Pumpkin Carving 2011

On Friday, before Mom left, we spent the evening carving pumpkins.  Well, Ray, Mom and Justin carved pumpkins.  I roasted seeds and the girls colored and put stickers on mini pumpkins.  Kaelin likes to help pull the seeds out...H does not!  After carving 5 pumpkins this weekend I have a full gallon ziploc back FULL of roasted pumpkin seeds.

On Sunday we headed to Grove City for the McCreadie's Annual BYOP (Bring Your Own Pumpkin) party.  Everyone brings a pumpkin and carves it in their driveway.  We all usually bring a dish to share, so there is some great food too!  Thank you Mandie and Justin for allowing all of us to make a mess at your house!

There were a lot of hands willing to hold Logan :).

 Justin didn't want to give Logan up.

Play time with Daddy.

 Funny - I think I have this same picture of Hailey playing ring around the rosie with this tree last year!

Critics :)

Mandie took this pic of the girls relaxing on the hill while Justin carves their pumpkins. hehe

The girls picked their shapes, and Justin carved. H asked for a rectangle mouth.

K's pumpkin. Fairly normal, until you see the back.  She wanted a large triangle cut out of the back.

 I have NO idea why!

Other Random Pics...of Logan

 Petting Bandit for the first time.

First Bottle (though still no formula!). He did really well. 

Mostly Logan :)

My parents are due to visit for Thanksgiving.  However, last minute (like 3 days before she actually arrived) we decided my mom needed to come visit and meet Logan the week after he was born :).  She was here almost 2 weeks (just left this morning).  We didn't take many pics of her and Logan or the girls, but I promise she was here and I have proof :). 

Uncle Ray and Logan

Logan using an IPhone for the first time - with Uncle's help.

 Proud Big Sisters!!!

 Something about holding Logan makes Daddy sleepy.

Behind the binky, something was funny.

This little guy is reminding us of K when she was a baby.  Several times now he is fighting till the bitter end taking a nap (ALREADY!).  Doesn't want to miss anything! Also, he is 2.5 weeks old and when I checked on him this am he had rolled over to his stomach!!!

These pictures aren't of Logan...but of the girls loving (torturing) Uncle Ray.  It is amazing having him live here!  The girls LOVE him to death (especially Hailey).

2 weeks old and Bath Time

Logan is 2 weeks old already!  Yesterday he measured 22 inches and 8 pounds, 13 ounces!  That means he gained 1 pound, 2 ounces in 10 days ( or 12 ounces since his original birth weight 2 weeks ago).  He is a strong growing boy!  He is in the 95% for height and 90% for weight!

I'm not sure if he is really frustrated here or just doesn't want his picture taken.

Today Logan had his first bath (not a sponge bath).  He was really content and liked to slide right down in the water to be warm.  Now getting dressed was a different matter, he seemed pretty ticked that I took him out of the tub. 

 On a side note, my Mom got the girls a very cool tub toy!  They are styrofoam dolls that work like magnet (or paper dolls), only for the tub.  The girls had a blast with them!
