March Tidbits

I don't have all the dedicated time to blog like I used to anymore but I want to keep up as much as I can. I'm going to try to remember to at least do a monthly post of what's been going on with us that month.

In March we were pretty busy moving, selling our old house and trying to set up the new place. That kept us and is keeping us fairly busy on weekends. We spent a lot of time unpacking and organizing. I spent a lot of time day dreaming about decorating the new space. We have had a lot of trouble with the dogs getting out of the small enclosure we built for them so we went ahead and got quotes for a fence to be put in. That should go in sometime in April. That will be good too because a certain 2 year old likes to take off sprinting down our hill as well...

We did manage to have some fun in March. We had a family dinner at the Riegerixes. Those are always fun. Matt and Ruty are living there for now with Eli and Micah so that's great. Steven just loves Eli and they have a blast running around together. Logan and Micah are only 3 months apart and they love hanging out too. 

We passed a big milestone this month when I signed Steven up for pre-school (tear). Man, he is getting so big! The district we moved to has full day preschool at the elementary school which happens to be RIGHT down the street from our house. So that is really nice. I found out when the sign up was and called to get more info. They let me know that they only had so many spots and they filled up last year so to make sure to get there on time.

I wanted to make sure Steven got in so I got there early. Well that turned out to be a bad decision! They took me to some back conference room to start filling out the paperwork packet. Well by the time I was completely done and had someone checking my info and making a copy of my license, the time had come to open registration. So they said everyone come to the lobby and we will make you go back into the hall to line up. Well, since I was in a back room everyone that came in after me ended up being before me in line! It was a mad dash out the door and into line. I just made it into line and was given the number 21. I was getting really nervous so I asked them and they said they had 23 spots!! OMG. I was about to lose it on someone if we didn't get in! ha ha

But we did, so its all good. I can't believe my baby is starting at a real school this year. Crazy.

When did he get so big?

I had been talking for a long time about changing my hair and in March I decided to go for it. I cut about 5 inches off! I think it looks pretty good. It has taken some getting used to but I think a change is good from time to time to spice things up!

So that's what we've mostly been up to in March. More to come!

Logan at 6 Months

This had been a big month for you Logan! You have been busy growing by leaps and bounds.

You were grabbing everything we would be eating and really reaching out for food. Since it was close to your 6 month make I decided to try giving you some real good. You weren't too impressed with the solid food. I think you were mostly still figuring out exactly how to grip it and hold it to your mouth. That's tricky stuff!

First solid foods!

So I decided to try some rice cereal mixed with breast milk and you've been loving that so far. We do a small serving of that at dinner now and you eat it all up! Steven never cared much for the cereal but you open your mouth right up and fuss a bit if I try to leave while feeding you. Guess you are a growing boy!

You really didn't love the sweet potatoes. LOL

You mastered a big skill this moby, sitting up unassisted. Your daddy worked with you one morning and you finally got it! You had been getting close for a while but couldn't quite get the balance right to keep from falling over. But now you've got it!

So big!

Daddy also took some selfies because he was so excited! ha ha

Selfies with daddy!

It's so fun to see you sitting up like a big boy. You can really interact with your brother better this way too. Which is do great because he just cracks you up like crazy.

On the subject of your brother you are loving hanging out with him lately. You get really distracted when nursing if he is jumping around like a mad man. You strain your head and neck to watch him. You pretty much follow him around the room by moving your head and neck whenever you can. 

Since you are getting more interactive, Steven is loving it. He requests to play with you and shows you toys (and takes them from you sometimes). You just love attention from your big bro. You will laugh and smile and giggle at him. It's so sweet and melts my heart to see the relationship blooming between you two.

Besides eating some solids and sitting up this month you've pretty much mastered sleeping through the night as well. You have occasional nights where you'll cry but we know something must be off because you usually sleep from when we put you down around 8pm to 6am. I LOVE that. Thank you so much Logan. Mommy really appreciates it.

Happy boy!

All month I just keep pinching myself with how good of a baby you are. You are so chill and roll with the punches. You are content usually to sit in your bouncer or to play near where we are doing something. You don't hardly ever fuss and you do so well putting yourself to sleep. We are so blessed to have you in our lives.
