7 months!

Logan will be 7 months in just a few days, and he is just growing so fast! He is half way passed his first year, and he is doing so many new things all the time! For his well baby check up, he was 17 lbs and 15 oz which by now I'm sure he is at least almost 19! He is in the 75th percentile for height, and average for everything else.

-He learned the sign for milk, and in 3 days was already doing it! By a 2 weeks he had fully associated the sign with milk, and uses it regularly now. We have a baby genius, I know....
-He gives kisses upon request!
-He claps, and will do it when you ask
-He says "Mama" and "Dada"! Although, he says "Dada" when he is happy and only does "Mama" when he is whiny. Not sure what to make of that!
- He supports himself sitting up, fully with out any help
- He has definitely discovered his squealing voice
- He can support himself on with his arms fully extended when he is on his belly, and is now trying to prop his knees up
-He is scooting

We are having so much fun with him, and just love him to pieces!

He is just too cute for words! I love this picture!

My baby is half way through his first year of life!

My little man is 6 months old! He is just growing so fast, and is changing so much! I can't believe how big he is, he is now fitting into his 9-12 month size clothes...it seems like he grew overnight and I had to change out most of his smaller outfits. Here are some of the new things he can do:

*He rolls around, and is now starting to try to bend his knees up!

*He can now sit up on his own without support. When he is laying down, he lifts his head up to try to sit.

*He LOVES his veggies! He is going to grow big and strong.

*He gives kisses to Mommy and Daddy on his own, he even can do it on request!

*He waves

*He is a little drooling & chewing machine....i think teeth may be around the corner :(

*He can babble to himself

*He has learned to blow little spit bubbles and likes the noise he makes by smacking his mouth

Family Temple Trip

Today we took Logan to the Oakland temple for his first time. We walked him around a little in his stroller, and then went into the visitors center. We walked up to the statue of the Lord and he just stared and smiled. It was such a sweet moment! We went through and looked around, and since he loves to touch everything I let him tap on the touch screens and we watched the little movies that played. (He LOVES to watch TV, so he enjoyed this!)

We didn't take any pictures (which i am sad about), but it was such a special afternoon to feel the spirit and spend that special time together as a family.

The Roll!

Two Firsts in One Week!

So we decided to give Logan baby rice cereal for the first time on Sunday night! We figured he was ready, since he was showing all the signs the books say. He stares at us in amazement from start to finish while we eat. He did great! He had some funny looks on his face, but ate most of what we gave him with out spitting it out!

Today, Jan 14th, my little baby rolled over all by himself! I didn't catch him do it, but I looked down and he was on his belly!! I am so proud of him, it seems like in the past week he is growing and changing so fast! I think he does something new everyday!

I don't even know where to begin...

I haven't posted anything in so long, and I'm REALLY skimping on this post with a few highlights & pics of the last couple months....

Logan is now just about 5 months!! I cant believe how time has gone by so fast! I missed the last couple months update, but here are his current triumphs:

-He grabs EVERYTHING! He hasn't managed to spill any cups or plates yet, but i know its coming...
-He rolls on his side, he will be rolling over any day now.
-He notices everything, and will look in the direction of any noise
-He likes to talk to himself while rolling around
-He has mastered pulling off his socks, and loves to eat them
-He likes to grab his feet and stare at his hands in amazement
-He's pretty much stopped taking his pacifier (boo-hoo for us! That was a life saver sometimes!)
-He can sit up in a slouching position by himself.
-He can prop himself up on his belly

We just love him so much and he is such a joy & blessing to us!

CHRISTMAS!!

Logan's first Christmas! We spent the week out here in the bay since David's sisters were here. It was a crazy week but so much fun to get to spend some time with everyone. Sadly, we missed Christmas Eve with my side of the family because we all got the stomach flu and were puking our guts out. Luckily Logan didn't catch it, but most of David's fam caught it. Other than the sickness our first Christmas with Logan was lots of fun!

We went to spend some time with my mom the day after Christmas since we missed the whole family. This is the first time all the Kruse grandkids were together.

Here is Logan and his best little pal Ayden. Aren't they too cute! I just had to throw this one in

Meeting my new niece Karrah Lena for the first time. I cant believe how tiny she is!! She was born on Thanksgiving!

We had Thanksgiving at my house with the Price side. This is the first holiday celebrated at our house ever, and it turned out to be a lot of fun! This was also Landon's first Thanksgiving back, so it was even more special. We of course did some Black Friday shopping as well!

All the food was AMAZING!

My little turkey. This is Logan on the turkey platter.
