My little Logie has a yeast diaper rash!  I had to completely 'strip' my cloth dipes over & over & over again to make sure that the yeast was all gone & so we had to venture out & buy sposies :(  This my friends is the very first disposable diaper on his little bum since he was a week old!

The diapers will be done soon, so we can go back to our cloth, which I so badly miss!

Birthday party mode is in full swing, today I blew up one of Logan's monkeys that is going to be hanging around as decoration at his party.  I think the babe has a new friend, already high fiveing him and everything!

June 8th

Whelp it's official, Logan is teething again.  His first molar has popped through the gum on the top left & it looks like one of his eye teeth are coming in on the bottom.  Poor little guy has been a fussy bear today, I even broke out the teething tablets!

Even through the fussiness he is still really cute & sweet :)  He was sharing his Cheerio's with Oreo (again) today & I thought it was particularly adorable how gentle Oreo was & how happy Logan was to be feeding her.

I attempted to get some pics of Logan for Fathers day today.  I'm undecided about them...they are 'okay' & I was hoping for 'A-maz-ing', you know?  I did the whole letter thing for Justin's dad (Logan's pop), trying to get your child to not EAT the paint off of the wooden letters is a big fat huge pain.  I can't decide if I want to retry the pics or just go with these because the very thought of trying them again gives me a headache..lol.

My little billy goat determined to eat the letters

Also determined to beat the living crap out of his chair with them..lol.

& determined to throw them.

& was determined to be super cute as soon as the letters were gone (go figure).

I somehow managed to pull these out of the bunch & this is what he will get in a frame (re-edited & if I don't attempt another shoot, that is).

Just like a little man...lounging in the recliner watching sports :)

June 5th

1 year ago I wondered when I would finally be able to walk into Chili's without the thought of barfing because let me tell you when I was pregnant that restaurant smelled so gross to me.  I wondered what it would feel like to sleep on my tummy again & not have a pillow fort supporting myself in the bed.  I wondered what this little miracle I had growing inside of me looked like, would he have my curly hair?  Would he have Justin's eye color?   One year ago today, I would have only a mere month until I met that precious little boy in my tummy.

Now a year later, I'm planning a 1st birthday party.  I'm washing diapers & picking up blocks.  I know that Logan has my eyes & otherwise looks a spitting image of his daddy.  I know that there is nothing that compares to my little monkey's big huge slobbery kisses.  I know that he is borderline obsessed with Yo Gabba Gabba & would stop on a dime if he heard it on the TV.

I know that I'm a parent now & a damn good one if you ask me.

I love my sweet baby bear, I love being a mommy of a little boy, I love having this huge responsibility of raising a little person, I love big slobbery kisses, I love the snuggles & cuddles, I love all of it!

It's so hard for me to believe that Logan is 11 months old today.  We are so close to a year old, I feel it on the tip of my tongue when people ask me how old he is, "he will be ONE on July 5th". ONE.  Did someone smack me over the head with a pan?  Did I birth him, black out & then wake up and here he is already almost a year?  Nope...I was there.

For every milestone, for every nursing, for every splash in the tub, for everything.  It's been so amazing but SO fast!  Here he is today, a chatter box babbling up a storm, standing like a big boy, eating anything & everything you put in front of him, drinking out of a straw sippy cup (I thought I would have never seen the day!), dancing, clapping, calling us & our animals by our 'names', the most loving little 11 month old ever.

& good gah isn't he the cutest when he sleeps?  I feel like I should always have a recent sleeping picture of him because it's so darn precious!

June 4th

This is what the babe looks like when he is uber tired & in need of a nap BAD...check out those sleepy little eyes!
