dear baby, 

after your bath earlier in the night, you hugged me for the first time ever.. no words could explain how happy that made me. I wish that I could some how replay that 2 second hug for the rest of my life. I've been there for every single one of your "firsts," from the first time you lifted your tiny little head on your own, to the first steps you took, and this is probably one of absolute favorites. I love you so, so much! For you to wrap your arms around my neck, and rest your head on my shoulder, and then give me a kiss.. it just tells me that you love me back, and that I'm doing something right. Thank you baby, you really make me the happiest mama. 

<3

workin' hard

Grandpa brought the Camaro home, and let Logan help him work on it. Now anytime grandpa is in the garage, Logan wants to go out and see, it's so funny! I don't think grandpa will be getting much work done anymore haha!

a new adventure!

Yesterday, we went and bought a potty for Logan. I know its a little early still, but he has been peeing when I take his diaper off and thinking it was fun. He also has been peeing on command and stopping when I tell him to quit peeing on the carpet haha!  So, I figured it wouldn't hurt to put him on it and praise him if he did happen to use it the right way. 

He loves the potty! He hasn't used it right yet, but we have been trying here and there. He will sit and push, but just can't go haha but he still "flushes" it so he can hear Elmo tell him "hooray!" He kept trying to stand on it, so we had to stop that real quick.. he thought the hole was the perfect spot for his feet to be. 

 We spent a part of the day running around the living, room practicing sitting on it, and of course dancing (diaper-less) out of excitement. I am proud that even though he didn't pee on his potty, he also didn't pee on the carpet! We moved the potty into the bathroom now, and when I think we should go try, we run to the bathroom yelling "time to potty!!" Now he keeps telling me "boppy" and I'm pretty sure that means potty, but I'm not 100% on that one. This is definitely going to be a learning experience for all of us.

happy anniversary!

Three years with this crazy, goofy, sometimes (a lot of times) aggravating, loud, handsome man. I wouldn't have things any other way.. he is my best friend that I can talk to about anything, and I never have to worry about him judging me. 

We spent tuesday night out at a Brazilian steak house, and oh gosh, the food was amazing!! I've never been so full in my life. Then we went home and played with Logan, who was in the middle of a sugar rush thanks his GiGi. There was a lot of balloons, and laughing involved. Xena played too.. it was a blast. 

Thank you for another great night honey, and for everything you do for me. I'm extremely grateful, I hope you know that.  

We've been trying to spend more time outside while the weather is decent. It has gotten to the point that when Logan gets his shoes or slippers on, he runs straight to the back door, and Xena is usually right behind him, ready to bust out of the doggy door.

 Recently, Logan learned to knock.. So of course, when he heard the neighbor kids playing in the yard next to us, he had to knock and peak to see if they heard. He is such a goofball. 

 

I'm happy that I have a kid who enjoys being outside just as much as I do.

valentines night

I told Mike that I didn't want to go out, so instead, we played, laughed, ate like little piggy's and just enjoyed each others company. I love my boys!

valentines day date

I've been meaning to take Logan to the Kemah Boardwalk so we could sit and have some ice cream together, and today just seemed like the perfect day. He chowed down on that mint chocolate chip! I'm so proud, he did a pretty good job feeding himself.

We walked all around the boardwalk, and he pointed out all the birds, and boats. Shockingly, he held my hand for a portion of the walk, which is rare for him.

 We had a nice "conversation" with a seagull.. He was a loud bird, and it sounded like he was laughing at us.

Lastly, we took a ride on the choo-choo train. When we walked up to the boardwalk, a woman offered us free tickets.. It was a really nice valentines surprise. 

Logan was pretty well behaved, which is becoming a miracle these days. He mostly throws fits about everything, but only when dada isn't with us. He was also very talkative today.. he said "baakie (which is cookie) please" , "bath", and "pa" for grandpa. He also attempted to say "bird" at the boardwalk, but couldn't quite get it out. Either way, I'm happy.. The kid barely says words, so when he does, I'm super excited! 

He got a new sippy cup that looks like a dinosaur, which was a hit, he gave dada a card the he signed (with mama's help of course), and gave lots of kisses to everyone. 

Me and my little valentine had a great day together.
