Jump Planet

Ah, to be almost 2 and have endless amounts of energy. I'm so glad there is a place we can take Logan to that is perfect for him to run and jump around for an hour or so. We've been to Jump Planet a couple of times, but this time he was really into it, always running around from one bouncy thing to another. He never stopped. I even had some of the other moms comment on his amount of energy. Luckily though, it wore him out enough that he was able to come home and take a long nap!

What we've been doing

Now that we are all better, it's time to post what's been going on around here. We've had a couple of weeks where at least one of us has been sick. There was one day when all of us were sick (not a fun day). At least it was all colds and not the flu. I am grateful for that.

I am so glad that my kids seem to get along. They have started to interact with each other more and that just melts my heart. Logan is so good to Olivia, and Olivia cracks up at Logan all the time, unless she's telling him how it is, as this picture shows.



Logan has found 2 new interests. Shoes and Pens. He loves to wear shoes, anyone's shoes. And as for pens, he loves to take them apart. I'm always finding pieces of a pen laying around the house.






Logan keeps me on my toes. He's always up to something. I keep wishing that one day he will slow down, at least for a little while so I can catch my breath, but at the same time, I love his energy and curiosity for the world around him.

I have a feeling that Olivia won't be giving me a break either. She's already curious about everything. If she could, I'm sure she would be running right alongside Logan. She's trying so hard to crawl. She loves being on her tummy and will move in a circle. She can scoot a little bit. She tries so hard to move and gets frustrated that she can't, but someday soon she'll be on the move. I'm not looking forward to the day where I have to chase 2 little ones around the house.

Look how long my hair is!


So what if I have a bald spot on the back of my head, at least mom can still put a bow in my hair!!!



P.S. Watch out world, as of today, I'm rolling over like a pro!

Some new things

Livi has been introduced to a few new things today. First, Logan wanted to hold her, but then decided against it once we let him. Then she tried her exersaucer and seemed to enjoy it for a few minutes before freaking out. Last we got out the bouncy thing (not sure what it's really called, but who cares). She had a good time with that. Notice that her outfits are all different...she goes through at least 3 a day, today she went through 4. She's the queen of spit up and drool. It never stops!






Some other things that Livi's going through right now....TEETHING!!! And she's so close to rolling over from back to tummy. She can go from tummy to back, but she's having a hard time with the other way. She can scoot to get to something she really wants, but she does so on her back. She just pushes with her legs and goes backwards. It takes awhile, but she does get to where she wants to be that way.

She's 4 months already!


I can hardly believe it. She is the sweetest baby EVER!!! She's always smiling or laughing for me, not so much for the camera. Rarely does she cry anymore. I'm glad she's so calm though, it definitely makes up for her out of control brother. Her appointment went well.

Weight: 16lbs 8ozs. (95th %tile)
Height: 26 1/4" long (above the 95th %tile)

She's off the charts yet again for height and cuteness, and is barely on for weight. I am crossing my fingers that Olivia stays cute and calm for a long time. I'm sure she will stay cute forever, but it's her calmness that I'm afraid will one day disappear.
