Ethan is 4 months!

Logan is growing and changing so much! Whenever he runs he begins his step with any sort of flying sound effect. He has just begun to not  be too shy to say prayers now....he still mumbles through them but its so precious.  He now lets us brush his teeth willingly because we got this book called Sugar Bug Doug. So now we brush and kill the sugar bugs each night before bed time.

Here is a picture of Logan and David getting ready to go on their first Father & Sons camping trip. Logan had a blast!

Here are a couple of his new stories from this past month:

I was giving both him and Ethan a bath and I got Ethan out and dressed. I came back to sit with Logan, and he was trying to suck on the used wash towel.

Me: "Logan! No! That's yucky, I washed Ethan's butt with that towel!"

Logan: " "Mommy...turn around!" with the funny grin across his face.

I turned with one eye open and he went to suck on it anyway! I took it away before he did...but i thought this was pretty hilarious

David is installing a whole house fan system in our house. He was fishing wires from the attic to make a control plate in the hall way. This is done by using a "snake" tool. Logan runs into the front room to tell me

Logan : "Mommy!!! Daddy is catching snakes!! Come on Mom, Come see!!"

He's also began to say:

Oh my goodness!

Mommy, you crazy!

What the heck!

WOW! My little Ethan baby is growing so fast! He is now 4 months old and is up to so many new things! 

We had his 4 month well baby check and here are the stats:
-95th percentile for height - 26 inches
-75th percentile for weight - 15 pounds 13 ounces
-50th percentile for head circumference

Here is what he is up to:
-Mr. Grabbers is his new name, he grabs at everything so we now have to be careful when holding him at a table because he goes for just about anything.
-Grabs and picks up toys and they go straight to his mouth, with lots of chewing and chomping....and drool.
-He has discovered his feet this last month, and loves to reach & eat them.
-He stared at our food when we are eating, the Dr. says he is ready for solids now...but I don't think I am ready for him to be ready ;)
-He loves to hear himself chatter and squeal....and so does Mommy!
-He scoots around a lot, I put him down on his play mat and he scoots in circles...he sure can't wait to start moving.
-He is ticklish for sure, and loves it!

The Power of Pinterest

So I've decided to make a bigger effort to do more fun sensory things with Logan. So instead of just pinning all these awesome ideas I've found on Pinterest, I've decided I need to actually DO them with Logan.  In turn, I am spending more time with him doing fun things while Ethan is napping instead of being on the computer or cleaning my house while Logan plays by himself or watches TV.

This is Oobleck. Its Cornstarch and Water and its a solid and a liquid! I'd never done this before and it was pretty cool. I saw a video that if you pour it on a cookie sheet and put it over a sub it will respond to the bass. This we couldn't get to work but will try again.

We had Sofia come over, she loved the "goo" but Logan didn't so much.  He hates getting stuff on him, so it didn't go over well.

I made Moon Sand, and Logan liked this much better. I told him an astronaut brought it back from the moon for me...he thought that was pretty awesome.

My goal is to do 2-3 fun things like these each week we can do together while Ethan is sleeping. In turn, I am hoping he will be happier getting some one on one attention with Mommy and the whining will decrease a bit. ;)

Mother's Day

How blessed am I to be a Mother to two wonderful boys! I just love them to  pieces and am in awe of them each day that passes! They are both so amazing and I love watching them grow, change and learn every day.   Logan blossoms a little more and is saying so many new things. He went outside with me and let me take some pictures of him on Mother's Day -- this was his present to me to be able to get some good shots of him.

Ethan is such a special baby, he is so easy and laid back and has such a sweet spirit to him. Here he is getting his first haircut, and me GIVING my first haircut! I have to say it turned out pretty good, I was tired of him looking crazy with his hair heading in every direction. He is 15 weeks here.

Ethan, take your pick!!

One of my best friends who happens to be our neighbor had her twins at the beginning of the month! They are just so precious and beautiful! It makes me want twin girls! I can't wait to see Ethan grow up and play with them, and hopefully not break any hearts in the process! ;)

Rockin' and Rollin

Ethan has been very close to rolling over, and today...HE DID IT! He was on his tummy and rolled over to his back.  I am excited that he is growing, but also dreading this because he hates laying on his back...hopefully he doesn't start rolling in his sleep otherwise he will most likely wake himself up!

With this first of Ethan, he also had another first this week....his first fever. :( He has a cold, a light cough and a congested nose. His fever was 100.9 and his little eyes are red.  He is still so perfect, hasn't been fussy at all....just a sad baby. I hope he gets better fast.
