Our week

The Big Brother.....

is just a little bit of a nut. 

Here he is on Valentine's night... apparently the fruit and other sweets for dipping into the chocolate fondue weren't good enough for Logan. :)

After this picture was taken he began smearing the chocolate all over himself.  Unfortunately, I was a bit too busy trying to keep him from smearing chocolate all over the house to get a picture of it.

Here is the man on his big boy "Buzz Lightyear" bed.  Logan picked out the bedding himself... Walmart had a clearance section.  I was hoping he would go with something a little more neutral, but once he saw Buzz, that was it. :)  He has successfully slept in this bed for over a week... Hooray!  Despite the fact that he climbs on everything, he never figured out how to get out of his crib, so it is a nice surprise every morning to wake up to his little face inches away from mine.

While nighttime sleeping has been great, nap times have almost disappeared. :(  We still put him in his room for about an hour.... today Ryley looked in and found him riding his Tow Mater truck on top of his bed while waving a golf club around.  I would love to be able to read his mind!

Logan's preferred outfit.  He loves to "save the day" with the "power to read!" 

Some other fun things Logan has said this week:

After a fun Saturday together, we were all cuddled up on the couch together watching a movie.  Logan looked up at us, grinned, and said, "My happily ever after!"  Me too, bud, me too.

We were watching "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" when the dragon scene came on.  Logan was fascinated, and when Harry Potter fell off his broom and was hanging off the tower as the dragon looked for him, Logan shouted, "Harry Potter needs his mommy!"  I like to think that my son sees me as someone who can save him from dragons. :)

When I gave Logan his chocolate milk this morning, he took a big drink, looked up at me, and said, "You make me so happy!"

As for our little girl, she is a mover and a shaker!  I have actually been able to feel her moving since about week 15, and Ryley has been able to watch my belly move around since week 18.  Maybe she will take after me and be a soccer player! :)

Ry's doing great with school, and we are way excited that this is a three day weekend.  Hooray for extra family time!  

Some Big News....

Three years ago on Valentine's Day I received a positive pregnancy test that turned into this crazy little boy....

This year on Valentine's Day we got to see our little girl for the first time... :)

That's right!  Our little girl will be making her appearance in the first part of July

EDD 7/7/12

We told Logan that we would bring him balloons when we got back from the doctor's office.  If the baby was a girl, we would bring him pink balloons... if it was a boy, blue.  We were hoping to bring back pictures, but the ultrasound system shut down at the end of our appointment, so they are mailing them to us.  We do have a DVD that is fun to watch...which I paused and took pictures of for the blog, so they are a little bit blurry. :)

I should put a disclaimer in that this baby was very shy, so we are just mostly sure that it is a little girl. 

 Celebrating with my guys at Olive Garden. :)

Almost 20 weeks along.  This was the only picture where balloons weren't completely blocking me, and Logan was decent. :)

A Big Boy Week

This has been a very big week for our little man....

Our trial run for Logan's Valentines

Marshmallow Love Bugs!

Painting his treasure box

This is why we usually paint with vanilla pudding.
This was NOT vanilla pudding... after taking this picture, Logan licked his hand.
Clean up was extra fun. :)

Our self-proclaimed "Super-Loge!"

Bum da da dum bum da dum.......
A BIG BOY BED!!!
We decided that it was about time for Logan to get a big boy bed,  and after searching KSL forever, I found a better deal on Amazon... Hooray!  He has successfully had 2 naps and one full night sleep in it.  His Buzz Lightyear bedding is on the way. :)  He was so excited this morning when he woke up... he ran in to us, shouting, "I didn't sleep!  I didn't sleep in my bed.  I slept in my BIG BOY BED!"  He was so proud. :)

Logan also decided, quite randomly, that he wanted to only go potty on the potty this week.  He watched Ryley, walked upstairs to me, and informed me that he needed to go.  So I put him on the potty, and he peed.... and then pooped!  I know, TMI, but this was the first time EVER for number two.  For some reason, until this week, Logan had a really hard time with the whole pooping-while-sitting-down thing.  But now he does it.  And we are almost completely done with diapers.  I'm still just a little terrified for grocery shopping without one. :)
Here Logan is modeling his big boy undies the only way I could get him to... sticking his tushi out the door of his tent.

Logan playing with his Daddy.
Some fun things Logan has said this week...

Me:  Logan, please come pick up your toys.
Logan: I can't
Me: Why not?
Logan: I have to do my homework.

Logan: Paris

We have no idea where he even learned about Paris.  Little Einsteins, maybe?
