A few firsts this month...
Logan's first Chuck E Cheese visit.
Kaelin and Hailey had their first living room sleepover. They stayed up late with Daddy watching movies. Needless to say, all three were exhausted the next day, not much sleeping occurred.
Kaelin started her first extracurricular activity: Cheerleading!
Last night (1/22) Logan had his first food - rice cereal. He did really well with it!
Shocking, Logan loves to eat!
Logan's Cuteness in January
Random cute pics of Logan
Had to buy this shirt at Children's Place. It makes me laugh.
By the way, he is a snowman, not a peguin (which my husband and sister thought!).
LOVE this face!
Our little referee
Jammin' out on Hailey's Ipod. Good thing those headphones are kid safe!
He is the only one of our kids who prefers his thumb to the pacifier. We are working on that :).
I prefer the paci, because eventually I can take it away.
Logan ready to celebrate Brayden's First Birthday!
A picture of me I actually like. We were laying on the floor watching Baby Einstein together.
HE LOVES BABY EINSTEIN. He actually talks to the tv!
Had to hold the puppy to sleep. If it slipped out of his grasp, he woke up.
Logan has had a few feeding issues the past few weeks (Same timing as K and H as babies). We were still nursing but he was constantly fussy. Finally I decided to pump and feed him bottles. What we found is he will drink 5 oz at a time, and I was only providing 2-3! So for the past 5 days he has been getting bottles, (about 2 a day of formula, the rest from me), and we have a happy boy again! I am providing 20-25 oz a day, while little man is eating 30-35 oz a day, so for now formula is lending a hand to help him grow.
He tries to help hold the bottle, but it only lasts for 10-15 seconds.
Logan is a happy guy and such a blessing. Every time I say, "I Luv You!" I get a HUGE grin!
It makes my day.

Logan is 3 months!
Logan is 3 months old! He weighs 14 lbs, 9.5 oz, and is 27.5 inches long! He had a follow up with the specialist yesterday - he is doing great and doesn't need to go back! He is such a good boy, very content. Rarely cries, unless he is hungry...then he wants to eat now! :) I do wish he could go a bit longer in between feedings - a steady 2-3 hours (even at night). I do get usually a 4-5 hour stretch once a day - usually early evening, or late evening to just after I go to bed :).
He really enjoys his play mat, batting at all the animals, and loves to look in the mirror. He is starting to kick a lot, and roll on his side. He manages to spin himself around his circle, usually at least 180 degrees. He is just starting to look at the toys on his car seat. He really likes soft, minky blankets. If one is on him he will grab it and pull it up to rub on his face. It is adorable. If he is fussy at all, usually a minky blanket will fix it.
Jecca came to take some pictures today --- cute as usual!
Saying prayers...
Love this look:
All innocent.
Not a great picture, but so funny. He looks like a pirate, Argh!
Taking pictures wore him out. Nap time.
Jecca likes to take sleepy pictures, and I think they are pretty cute too!
We did an outfit change, he wasn't that into picture taking anymore, but we got a few.
Spit bubbles. He is starting to blow bubbles/drool constantly.
Either that or he is a lizard, he is constantly playing with his tongue. It's hysterical!
Logan's surprised face....big eyes! That flash was bright :).

Monday we headed into Grove City for the large family Christmas gathering on both sides of Justin's family. The younger cousins (baby-high school), all participate in a gift exchange. It was a fun filled day of food, family and laughter!
Our afternoon with the Magee Family:
Big Papa is comfy. Logan was OUT!
The best picture of the cousins I could get (minus Kyla and Logan - the babies)
Hailey opening her Dora piano (and a recorder!)....thanks Jill :). She loved it!
Rapunzel----A metal handbag and a mini figurine set.
K thinks she is using the handbag as a lunchbox for school.
Big Papa and Grandma also got K a children's Bible and H a bunch of coloring books and crayons, which she proceeded to use right away! Logan got his ONLY 'Baby's First Christmas' ornament!
Our evening with the Trezona's:
Logan's gift...a letter train. It's very cute.
Of course I say that now before he can push the button a thousand times a minute.
This is when I decided that both of sides of the family were conspiring against me! Hailey got a Dora guitar!!! Seriously....both Dora, and a guitar and keyboard in the same day!?
Littlest Pet Shop! So fun...it had to be opened immediately!
Great Grandma and Grandpa got each of the girls several craft kits and a McDonald's gift card. Logan got some clothes and a pillow pet (a little giraffe).
K can't wait to color/design this messanger bag.
Hailey opened this right away and went to work! She impressed me with how well she did!
Another fun day...and we thought our Christmas celebrations were done....until a box came in the mail today from my sister. Puzzles and glow bracelets for the girls, a game for Justin, a bib for Logan and a cookbook, wax melts, and scrabooking embellishment set for me! We got it just before nap time. Needless to say the girls were not thrilled they could not put their puzzles together right away! :)
I think we are spoiled! I could pull out a craft kit every day for the girls and never run out it seems! We are blessed! Our kids are blessed! And I am grateful! I am grateful for our family, friends, and most of all for the reason we celebrate Christmas! I love that Hailey was telling me about Jesus' birthday and that K was telling me about why Mary and Joseph had to stay in the manger. I am grateful my kids know the real reason behind the season. I pray that their understanding continues to grow as each year passes.
Our Family Christmas Day
When we got home on Christmas Eve we got ready for Santa.
Kaelin set out cookies and milk....Hailey was WAY to tired to participate.
Unloading Logan's gifts from the Grandparents.
Kaelin and Hailey's gifts from the Grandparents on Christmas Eve.
We got a picture after Santa set up his gifts (the Candy Cane stripes).
Kiddos stockings and the note from Santa.
Kaelin is excited!
Logan got rice cereal in his stocking...he'll get to try it in the next month.
K went shopping at Santa's Workshop at school. I got a pink daisy ring. Ray got a "World's Best Uncle" mug, and Justin got a glass globe for his desk. Kaelin was SO EXCITED when he opened it :). Adorable!
Merry Christmas Logan!
I'm not sure why these dolls are so annoying...um I mean cool :). BUT the girls love them!
Baby Rapunzel....she said, "Now I have big and baby Rapunzel. I love them."
K got the light up/singing Rapunzel....notice the theme of our house the last year or so?
We LOVE Rapunzel!
Logan's toy from Hailey.
Kid safe headphones from Uncle Ray...
...to go with their Ipods from us! Great choice by us!
Logan fell asleep in all the excitement.
So cute!
We spent the day playing with our new toys, and then in the evening headed over to our brother-in-law - Brad's parent's house to visit! They are so nice to open their door to us. Its always fun to watch the kids play and interact. It was a wonderful Christmas!
