Our little exhibitionist

Last night, I walked away while Logan was playing on the floor for a minute to check dinner and I came back and found this sneaky face:
Yes, those bloomers that are next to her were indeed on her body when I left. I have no earthly idea how she got them off, but she surely did.
And then she began to swing them around her head. Don't worry, I've already scheduled the "when on spring break in Panama City, it is inappropriate to take off your undergarments and swing them wildy around your head" talk. :)

A Day In The Life

Welcome to a day in the life of Logan! Let me tell you, she's got it rough...

She wakes up at 7:45am and snuggles with mommy until 8:30. After we get up, we head to the kitchen and have a nice breakfast together (sometimes, daddy even gets to join us!).

After breakfast is cleaned up, L and I head to the living room where she gets to have tummy time! She's very close to becoming a crawler, so I'm sure that soon enough, tummy time will be a distant memory and I'll be running around like a crazy woman trying to keep things out of her reach.
Logan is very curious and loves to be on her tummy now that she can push herself up and she's not stuck just lying around. She loves to play, especially with her keys.
But, sometimes tummy time wears her out and I'll find her in this position:

And then I know it's time for a change. So, then we start mommy and baby pilates! Don't let this picture fool you, she really does enjoy it, it just happens to end right before naptime so she's usually just a bit cranky when we're finishing up.
After a morning full of activity, L crashes for a good 3 hour nap in the morning.
When she wakes up, we change her clothes and head back to the kitchen for lunch. Logan's new favorite thing to do is tilt her head (and sometimes her entire body) to the side and look at you sideways. This is a very cute trick when you're not trying to put food in her mouth, otherwise it becomes quite a mess!
After lunch, we clean up and get ready for the rest of our day. Logan is such a happy camper after a good, long nap and some yummy food.
Usually, this is when we run an errand or two. I have to time it just perfectly so that we don't run into her second nap because if she falls asleep in the car then we totally lose that naptime and by 5pm we're ready to poke our eyeballs out with the whining and fussing.

Logan is a good traveler in the afternoon, she sits (with her shades on) in her little carseat and plays with whatever she can get her hands on. Lately, her favorite car toy is a water bottle (oh, the things that amuse a baby).
When we get home, we both usually go down for a short afternoon nap and then get up and get ready for daddy to get home. Here's our sweet baby watching me make dinner:

Wedding Pictures

Ok, another post full of pictures.

Mike, L and I before the wedding. :)
John and my parents, pre-wedding.
L and John. Logan has this new face that she makes (almost all the time) where she purses her lips and just observes what's going on around her. This picture doesn't do the look justice, it's hilarious.
Logan and her great grandpa who introduced himself the entire night as "great grandpa", even when she wasn't around him. We loved it! She loves him so much.
Logan and mommy minutes before the ceremony.
Logan and her daddy. She spent the entire wedding with him and was such a good girl the entire time. She's been so attached to me lately that we were worried she'd throw a major fit when I was up in front but she had a GREAT time with her dad and they got some quality time together.
Here's the bride, Lindsey, getting her hair done before the ceremony.
Logan and her Tita playing a game pre-ceremony.
Logan and her great grandma.
Titi Carolyn after the ceremony watching the happenings.
Such a sweet little head.

I love these pictures so much, they get their own post

In front of the stadium, they have a BEAUTIFUL little area with crimson and white flowers. Logan's clothes matched perfectly and we happened to have a little blanket to set in the middle of the area so that we could snap some pictures of her in them. These are just a few of them, we took a bunch more with a much nicer camera and I'm getting those pictures via email and I'll post them as soon as I get them. :)



Pre-Wedding Activities

Whew! There is an image overload in this post so I'm just going to give the play-by-play through captioning the pictures.

The weekend started on Friday night at Dreamland, a small but incredible rib restaurant. We ate there with my brother, his fiancee, my parents, sister, grandparents and aunt. It was a great time!
Logan has the strange idea that anything I touch also belongs to her. She has lately started trying to drink my drinks along with me as if they are hers (of course, unless it's water, none of it gets in her system for those of you worried she was getting a good swig of diet coke here).
Then on Saturday morning, we dressed L up in her crimson and houndstooth gear and headed to the University of Alabama to show her where her Titi Carolyn and Uncle John go to school.
We, of course, had to take her to the stadium so she could see where the football is played. (I'm standing behind her holding her back, you just can't see me)
Titi Carolyn, Logan and Mommy.
Then we changed into our party clothes and headed off to Aunt Lindsey's shower that afternoon. Logan was in such a wonderful mood!
Mommy and Logan getting ready for the shower.
Logan's Nana and Grandaddy bought her this sweet sundress at the university bookstore and we used the shower as the opportunity for her to wear it. Doesn't it look precious? She'd fit right in on campus, don't you think?!
And just when you thought Logan was done changing clothes for the day, we hit a THIRD outfit! This time we were headed to the rehearsal dinner.
Logan wasn't in the mood to cooperate for a picture to show off her sweet dress. For the many of you who have asked, her hair does actually have a tinge of red in it (as you can see in this picture), we think she's going to be a little strawberry blonde sweetheart.
Logan and her Uncle John, the groom.
Here's my brother, John, with all of his girls. Me, my mom, L, Lindsey and Carolyn. The rehearsal dinner was so much fun and we shared such a great time with both family and friends. Later 15 of us fell ill with food poisoning from that night, but I still hold fond memories from the actual event.
