You oughta be in pictures...

Here is a post simply and shamelessly created to slip into that "my baby is the most adorable baby in the whole wide world" parent mode for just a moment.

Kickin' it

Last Saturday marked Logan's sixth month on this planet! To celebrate (ok, maybe we just needed to get out of the house because we finally had a day below 100 degrees!), the whole family hung out in the very trendy part of town and people watched (or in Logan's case, looked cute and gnawed on his monkey).

This week, Logan had his pediatrician appointment. The results are in (drum roll please)... He's just under 19lbs and 28.75 inches long! Yes, that's right, Logan has doubled his size since birth! Since mommy is such a brain dork, she was also very happy to hear that Logan has gained 2cm in head circumference. Grow baby brain, grow!

In addition to seeing Logan growing rapidly in size, it has been amazing to watch him learning. He is on the very cusp of crawling (this week he scoots on his belly, lunging himself forward with his legs). He can sit up for short periods of time unsupported (longer if he is playing with the top that Grandma vW got him!). He passes objects big and small from hand to hand (and eventually to mouth!). Although he's not saying words just yet, he has plenty of baby conversations with us, his crib mobile, and himself from the morning when he wakes until after bathtime at night.

Ain't No Party Like a Baptismal Party....

July flew by so fast that I didn't get a chance to post pictures from Logan's Baptism! We were so thankful to have both sets of grandparents, great aunt and uncle Kvidahl, Logan's aunt and both uncles, his cousin, Ella, and some of my friends in attendance. Gram Kvidahl handmade Logan's christening gown which not only had buttons from Logan's great, great, great grandparents sewn on to it, but it also had a "K" embroidered on the chest and the underskirt had his full name and Baptism date embroidered on it. It was a very special outfit for a very special day! After the ceremony, friends and family joined us back at the house for some good eats and conversation.
