Simple Things

I had to blog this while its fresh in my mind..

Sometimes we get so busy doing things every day that we forget to soak up the slow moments or simple moments.

As I was watching Logan last night, he was playing with his toys and his hands slowly analyze a new toy or they find a new way to grab something. It hit me again..wow..we need to soak up more moments like this..

..when Logan just stares at Mommy & Daddy and we wish we knew what he was thinking(Probably thinking "Who are these weirdos I'm stuck with?")

..when Logan tries to grab my glasses like they are so cool when I get so annoyed by them and my bad vision

..Logan could spend most of the day rolling around and attempting the scoot, crawl and does not get bored of it and I can get bored in a minute.

..just watching Logan discover the world around him like when he found out he could turn light switches off and discovering cause and effect as he looks over to see where the light went... loved that..when we could think thats so silly.

..soaking up a rainy day like it was the first time you smelled rain when sometimes I complain about it

..waking up each day loving life and all we have

I don't know I guess the list could go on but children are great examples to teach and remind us. Soak up the simple things in life before they are gone or before we regret missing a moment or wished we had done more or loved more.

The simple things help us to bring it back to the things that matter.

..I needed that reminder..

Logan the Arabian Prince or Jamaican..Man?

Yup we were having fun on Sunday.. well I better give credit to my mom for the idea.. we were all laughing.

ok maybe he was an angry elf at the end of the picture shoot..

6 months!

Now that my internet is working I can finally write this blog!... Logan is 6 months old! Time flies.. He is trying each day to attempt the crawl. He has been starting to roll since he was 3 months old so here is the next step to achieve. He pushes on his feet, bends his knees, pushes his bum in th air as he trys to push himself forward. But a lot of times he finds out sliding backwards is easier.(I heard a lot of babies do that.. funny) He gets frustrated, rolls over, and continues to roll to get the object he wants. He is moving everywhere and gets around pretty good that way. One second he is by a chair, the next second he has rolled over to our plant and is trying to reach over the edge to get the dirt. The other day I layed him down on his belly and he pushed up on his hands and toes like he was prepping for a pushup.. wow I was impressed.

We love watching him make bubbles with his mouth and make all kinds of noises that he has discovered with his mouth. I can't think of a name for it but when he blows and makes his lips move and vibrate. So cute! (anyone know the name for that??) Then the other day he was having fun with Grandma Deussen turning the lights on and off almost getting the pincer finger thing down..

Then for the nice day on Memorial Day, love those nice days. So we had to get out! We went to the park with Grandma Deussen, Aunts Aubrey, Chloe and Uncle Max to eat lunch, throw a football(ya Max can definetaly catch better than me), kick a soccer ball and let Logan kick his 1st soccer ball..he just might be a soccer player.. but after his 2nd kick he was done and started a cry. So we will keep him prepping to be a soccer player.

I love this face..

We all love getting Logan to laugh which we have to act pretty riciculous to get him going but its worth the wait to hear him laughing. He is having fun grabbing your face, and your hair (he has a good grip.. ouch..) Pretty soon we are going to have to lower the crib mattress before he pulls himself up one day. But we love going to see him in the morning when he wakes up to and is a rolling, smiling boy (yeah! he is a morning person like mommy..) all in all he can be pretty calm but then he can be a kicking kid on the ground just enjoying himself and I can only imagine what he might get into when he starts walking.. I tell Jesse I like how he is still somewhat immobile cuz once he starts walking its gonna be crazy..

Updates- Logan now weighs 16 lbs, is 27.3 inches so he is at the 75% in height and 25% in weight so we will see if those numbers actually stick as he gets older.. Jesse is saying Logan needs to be 6'4" to be a center for basketball.. funny he jokes about that..
