Lazy Days

So, the last couple days we've had a lot of this going on:

Doesn't she look sad? She's been running a temp of 101.5-102.3, has been up pretty much all night for the last three nights and just hasn't eaten much of anything. Other than that she's got no symptoms. I was really worried about her yesterday when the fever spiked and wouldn't go down even with tylenol/motrin and then I remembered that on Friday she had her 12 month vaccinations. Then it all made sense. She got her MMR, Pneumococcal, Chicken Pox and her Heb B booster all in one day and all of them have the side effects that she's been experiencing. Poor thing! Then I remembered that I hadn't posted the stats from the visit, so here you go:

Weight: 22lbs

Height: 30 inches (the Dr. was shocked when he looked at her chart because she shot up 5 1/2 inches since her last visit!)

I didn't pay attention to the head circumference but she's the 75% percentile across the board, so she's a bit above average but is proportional. Perfect!

She's also developing (speech and motor developments) at more of an 18-24 month level than at the 12 month level which the Dr. said he sees a lot of with babies who are at home with mommy all day long and get constant one on one interaction. That and she came from good stock. ;)

Logan has grown and learned SO MUCH since her birthday, it amazes us daily!

-She's beginning to communicate more with words than with grunts.

- She's walking all over the place now and rarely crawls.

- She climbs everywhere! Yesterday, I caught her climbing into the tub while it was filling for her. (I don't leave her in the bathroom alone, I promise)

- She's quite the little mommy. We got the little boy I watch back yesterday and she's just crazy about him! She rocks him in his carseat, tries to hold him, bounces him in the bouncer and even will lay down on her tummy next to him when we have him doing tummy time. She's even translating this behavior to the nursery where we caught her bouncing a baby nearly her size in the bouncer when we picked her up last week! She'll be sad this weekend when she's transitioned to a room with bigger kids because she won't be the big girl anymore.

-AND she started to run this week! It is SO FUNNY to watch because she turns her head to the side when she does it so she can see what's going on--she hasn't figured out that she really needs to look in front of her and so she just bumps into all kinds of stuff. I'd like to get it on video but you actually have to chase her to get her to do it and it's hard to get it on camera when you're running after her. We got a picture though!

Ready, set....

GO!

So, before Logan was born I swore I'd not do overalls for her. I'm not sure why, they just didn't really appeal to me until we got two pair for her birthday! The one above is from her great grandparents (the Carlsen's) and then she got another sweet pink pair from her Kayle grandparents which I'll snap a picture of when they fit her a little better- right now she pretty much stands on them. So, all this to say, I think I'm in love with overalls and will be needing to get her some more soon.

Yesterday, we ventured out to WakeMed to meet Anna Kate! One of my best friends from high school, Patty, has been waiting on pins and needles to go into labor and on Monday, she did! This girl is my hero...she birthed a 10lb 1oz, 22 inch baby with no pain medication at all. Seriously, a rock star. And she looked incredible on day 2, like she just stopped in at the hospital for a visit! It was so sweet to meet this little one, we can't wait to spend a little more time with her.
