Thankful Thursdays

I have so much to be thankful for these days........

I have a beautiful son, AMAZING husband, a new home, my crazy little beagle, our health, being able to spend every day at home with my favorite little guy and so much more!

One thing that I am super grateful for, is conceiving Logan! This very same day last year, we conceived him! I'm in shock that it has already been a year! Where has this year gone? My little man will be turning 15 weeks tomorrow! How crazy?!?! Okay, Enough of blogging! This mommy is off to go play with her cutie pie, before he grows up!

Happy Thursday everyone!

Crafting for the Holidays

So lately, I've become a little obsessed with Pinterest! Okay, who am I kidding?!?! More like a LOT obsessed with Pinterest! I've been trying to get a lot of ideas on how to become crafty for the holidays. So far, I'm totally wanting to do the cute footprints with Logan's feet. I also want to make a super cute and festive reef for our door. Oh, and I also want to make some adorable decor pillows for the living and family room couches. I'm excited and hope all our projects come out good! I actually just finished creating our holiday cards with Logan's cute face all over them! Now, I'm off to Joann's online site to buy all the items we need. :)

14 Weeks

So much has happened in the past 2 weeks!

Logan has been staying up in longer intervals. This is fun at first because he has so much personality when he is awake now! However, it gets  dangerous because he gets himself over tired! He also likes to physically fight me now when he is over tired. He will push me or pull my hair. He is super strong too for such a little guy! Today was a good example, he woke up at 7:45 am and didn't nap at all until 1 pm! We were out running some errands and got super cranky at around 11:30 and fought sleep the entire time! H finally gave in at 1 pm. Although, here it is 4:40pm and he is still napping! So he makes up his sleeping time lol. 

As for growing, we went to the dr's this past Wednesday and he now weighs 13 pounds 14 ounces. Putting him in the 50th percentile for weight. Not too shabby for all the formula he eats!This little man has a super fast metabolism, eating 40 ounces a day!!! He is above average in height, measuring at 24.5 inches and is in the 75th percentile. He is tall and thin. Lucky him hehe!

Sleeping is still going good. He sleeps through the night still from 9:30 pm until 7:30 am. However, he did wake up a few nights this week bc his room gets so cold, so I just brought him in our room to stay warm. We tried to put our heat on the other night but it didn't feel like it was getting hot and I was afraid to put the portable heater on in his room during the night (without my supervision). So for now, he comes in our room around 5 am, when it gets too cold in his room. He is so cute and cuddly, so we don't mind! It's funny how such a little man can hog up our big bed though lol! 

He is still wearing size 2 diapers and size 3-6 month clothes. We also stopped feeding him rice cereal until I find organic rice cereal. There has been a scare of reports finding arsenic in rice these days. So to be safe, the dr said to buy organic. We looked at Publix, but they only had Earth's Best rice cereals with apples and we need just the plain one. I'm going to go to Target ASAP to pick some up. So excited it's the weekend already, so we can have some daddy time! He has been working so hard these days to support us. He is such a great daddy and hubby!
 

Happy Friday everyone! :)
 

 

 

 

 

Logan's First Halloween, Cereal, and 3 Months Old!

Wow, it has been a busy week! We just found a leak from our Master bathroom, so we have been trying to get that repaired ASAP! I love our house but home owning can get super expensive! On a positive note, we celebrated Logan's first Halloween! He had 3 costumes: a pumpkin, skeleton, and Dan's favorite- a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. It's a good thing we got him 3 different ones bc Logan can sure make a mess in his outfit in no time! Dan dressed up as Quail Man and i was Super Girl. We even got to go to a Halloween party for a little bit with some friends, while Dan's parents watched Logan for us. Let's just say I will never have a jello shot again, yuck! It kinda stinks not drinking for a year (being pregnant and all) and having a super low tolerance! However, we did have a blast the time we were there!

As for Logan, he just turned 3 months this past Saturday! He is growing and eating so much! We even started him on rice cereal bc he never seems full! He eats almost 40 ounces a day!!! So we started rice cereal this past Friday with the dr's approval and will start other solids when he turns 4 months. I'm excited to make him some yummy and all natural baby food! Thanks to my grandma, I have a wonderful baby recipe book to help me prepare more tasty foods as he gets older!

As for stats, Logan is wearing size 2 diapers, 3-6 month clothes, Smiling and laughing up a storm, and is sleeping through the night from about 9:30-7:30! He is such a good baby! He only cries when hungry or overtired. Although, he is getting a little spoiled wanting to be held when he gets sleepy. We also took out the small bassinet part in his play pen and he is now in the big boy part on the bottom. He loves to stand up too! He has been doing this since 6 weeks old and he is so strong! Everyone thinks he is going o be an early walker.

This weekend we had a nice time going to the park and watching daddy play some football. It was a beautiful day and we even got to go to my old park where I grew up in Aventura. Logan did sleep the entire time, which was good in a way bc he stayed out of the sun, while Dan and I got a little sun burned. Today we are going to one of our good friend's niece 1st birthday party. We are excited for Logan to finally meet the little birthday girl!

As for me, I have 7 pounds left to go to get back to my prepregnancy weight! I'm so happy about losing it so fast! I've lost a total of 33 pounds!!! Woo hoo!
