Logan is 3 Months!

I have a bunch of posts in que but first up- our little guy is 3 months old! He's such a sweet little boy. We have his doc appt on Friday so I'll have stats then but he's definitely a big ole boy. New this past month is reaching for and holding onto toys, and the occasional laugh out loud (which is just about my favorite thing!) Love his coos and ah-goos and of course his awesome little smile! He's already found his thumb unfortunately and constantly has it in his mouth (ugh.) He's strong, and loves to "stand." He still really loves bath time. He appears to be done with waking in the night to eat at all (WOOHOO!!) and we've had several nights lately when he's gone to bed before and woken after Connor and Leyla (the one benefit of thumbsucking I guess.) Knock on wood, my nights with a newborn appear to be over and that's a chapter I'm ok with closing!
Smile!
Loves to "stand!" I think he looks so much like Connor as a baby here!
Chilling in his chair (we were outside waiting for Connor to get off the bus).
And here he reminds me of Leyla as a baby.
And with his favorite big sister (a professional baby holder.)
Happy 3 month b-day little man!

Love that little guy so much!

Leyla's 1st Day of School

September 11th + Leyla's first day of school + post partum hormones = a teary Mom yesterday.

My big girl! She was so, so excited. At her school they wear slippers inside the classroom, here she's modeling her new slippers and backpack ;) Those curls just kill me.

Connor helping her get her shoes on. Connor is so incredibly helpful with her (and Logan)!
2/3 of my crew. Connor saying "Seriously Mom? When are we going to stop having to take pictures before school??"
Leyla did great. As we were pulling up to the school she asked me if I could just stay with her for two minutes. I told her I couldn't (the teachers actually come and get the kids out of the car, fabulous when you've got another baby in there!) She was ok with that. And when Miss Patty came over to get her out she was so excited to show her her new slippers. Then she jumped right out of the car and went in! So proud of my big girl! Yes I cried (probably wouldn't have but Andrew rode with us too and he grabbed my hand as we watched her walk in).

And then there was one...

Tiny Dancer

Leyla had her first day of ballet this week! She was the prettiest little ballerina I ever saw. At risk of sounding cheesy, she literally takes my breath away.




Ballerinas lining up. It was almost too much cuteness!! Leyla has only done "Mommy and Me" classes up until now- so I wasn't sure how it was going to go when they took her in there without me. She hesitated (that's me in the pink in the back corner, telling another Mom I wasn't sure how this was going to go) but she went in. And loved it of course!


Back at home. She still didn't want to take her ballet dress off.
Ballerina and the boy.
Captain Cute.

 Flowers for her bro.


Even bigger week next week- my girl turns THREE and starts preschool!! Watch our world, this girl's ready to fly!

Logan is 2 Months!

Logan turned two months old last week. He's 12 lbs (75th %) and 23 inches (50th %) and his head was 25-50th %. Funny enough- Connor was the exact same height and weight at his 2 month check up. He's been just a rockstar sleeper and this makes Mommy so happy!

My super smiley, very happy little man. He's got his first "big boy" outfit on here.
It can't be so bad being the third kid- he's got an older brother and sister who absolutely adore him. This is one very loved little guy!

Chilling with Connor (pardon Connor in his undies). Note Logan's first Orioles shirt (it says "This Kid loves the Orioles" - a gift from Stacy. Trying start him off right!
Bath time can be a team sport.
But he never minds.
Our funny dude!
