Brothers playing and laughing together. It doesn't get much better! Unless you're passed out in Daddy's arms, that might be close!

January 30th, 2008 at 12:36pm we welcomed into the world our 2nd beautiful baby boy. 8 pounds 10.5 ounces 21 1/2 inches long. My heart was bursting with joy then just as it is now. I'm not sure how the past 4 years flew by so quickly and only hope that the next 4 slow down a little. I love this guy so much.

Logan has yet to celebrate his birthday in the same place twice. Thankfully next year we should be in this same living room...and the next few all the way until he turns 7! 

We had a wonderful day today. We picked up Lightning McQueen cupcakes on the way to school, he was thrilled that they were all iced in red and blue (yay, Mommy got it right!). After we got home from school we snuggled up and put in Cars 2. Just before it was over Landon got home from school and Daddy walked in from work at the same time. We then opened his gifts. We weren't sure how he would take to the LeapPad, but hoped it would go well since the majority of his gifts from us and others  centered around it. Well it was a hit! He played with it for quite a while tonight and loves it! At his request we had chicken spaghetti for dinner (that's Logan speak for chicken parmesan). It was followed up with an ice cream cake. He's really not a cake fan at all but loves ice cream so this was perfect for him! He's now tucked into bed and sleeping sweetly, my little bruiser is growing up!

Uh, hi. *peeks sheepishly around the corner*

Sorry to have left you for so long. I know...I missed TWO whole days!!! It isn't that I didn't take a photo on those days, because I took several. I just never uploaded them here for some reason.  So I'm here tonight to catch up.

Keighan is a beast. He's not fat or anything, just tall! 

(yes, he has some cute baby chubby cheeks going on, but no rolls on his thighs or anything close!)

Like literally off the growth chart tall

(he apparently did not get the memo that he's supposed to 

be a peanut or it would make Mommy sad)

We only had about an inch left for him to grow before reaching the max 

height limit on his infant car seat. 

So it was time for an upgrade to a big boy convertible seat!

Friday we hit up a deal at BabiesRUs and got him a new seat,

a Britax Boulevard 70 CS. 

He was pretty happy about it, even before we took it out of the box.

He'll be riding backwards in this bad boy for about another 2 years

(or until he hits 40lbs), then will get to go forward like his big bros.

Pratt and I having a stare down.

He knows better than to be on the counter! 

Usually you can just walk towards him or even give him a look and he goes running.

Yesterday I was gone all day and I think he was a little upset with me.

So I stood on the other side of the counter and I guess he felt secure...

until I raised my hand and he saw the mini Nerf gun!

I'm pretty sure he forgave me as he's in my lap this very instant.

Landon loves his Snap Circuits.

Yes, that's his PJs.

No, I won't tell you what time of day this was taken.

Let's just pretend it was first thing in the morning, ok?

Funny to think that 4 years ago tonight I wasn't concerned about the next day for myself,

but for him. So worried his world would be turned upside down with the addition of a baby. Worried how he'd do at daycare while we were at the hospital, etc. 

He refuses to admit it, but that little baby is now his very best friend.

I knew he loved him from the start though. 

The first night we were home my mom was also in town, Landon was sleeping with her.

He woke up when Logan was crying once and said, "Baby is still here!"

He was excited that little guy was still in his house and hadn't left.

Now he has another little brother to follow him around, 

I'm just thankful he's such an amazing boy and great example (ehh...most of the time) to his brothers!

As babies none of my children have been the kid you see slumped over asleep in a high chair or exersaucer or anything of that type. Only in bed and sometimes in their car seat. 

Logan could really still stand to benefit from a daily nap. Thing is, he will not sleep without Landon home. That's just not going to happen because of school. So we've bumped bedtime up which has helped. Then there are days where Logan just can't hold on. Today he was watching Team UmiZoomi. I looked over and saw this. Made me want to snuggle up with him and snooze too (Keighan was upstairs sleeping).

Hi, it's me again. The clothes junkie. Let me specify...the children's clothes junkie. My closet is pitiful looking.

Yesterday my Gymbuck order from Gymboree came in. I had the boys try on some things to see if the sizes were right or not. Thankfully they're pretty used to the gig and didn't complain. 

Keighan loved his hats

(also got a dinosaur one for that line)

Logan just wanted to take action shots,

also insisted on bringing his chair into K's room.

Landon just wanted to stand still so he could hurry up and be done...

he wanted to do his homework.

No joke.

That was because he wanted to play Skylanders and knows homework comes first!

Oh, he is also down one tooth from this pic! Lost another last night. 

So that's just a quick peek at our fashion show from yesterday!

Keighan absolutely LOVES bath time. Just water in general gets him in a great mood. Turn on the tub and immediately he starts smiling and giggling and moving his arms and legs like crazy. Even after he's done and his big brothers are in, he's trying to climb in with them! So much different from when he was first born and every diaper change and bath was a nightmare full of screaming...thank goodness that ended after a few weeks! Can't wait to get my littlest fish in the pool this summer!

Happy boy after his bath!

This guy continues to make my heart melt.

Shameless mommy brag ahead

Landon got his mid-quarter progress report today. Every single graded assignment he's gotten a 100 on! Even handwriting, which is huge for him! Tomorrow he has his award ceremony from last quarter to attend also (honor roll and he met the reading goals). So proud of our Doodle!!!

(blogging from the iPhone app tonight. Too tired to get the laptop out!)
