EMAW

All decked out in our K-State apparel today to support our beloved Cats as they take on the Huskers!! I love that the kids get so excited to cheer for the Cats even if they don't really understand what all is going on. Sure wish we could all take in the game in person tonight but I don't think that I'd get to see much of it with three kids so we'll settle for watching it on T.V. And for those not quite fluent in Wildcat language, EMAW stands for Every Man A Wildcat. :)

Baby Food

YUCK pretty sums up Logan's thoughts on cereal or baby food. He sees the spoon headed his way and the arms start flailing around and the lips pucker up tight. Now, give him some food on his tray for him to feed himself and he is happy as a clam to eat it. I think we've exhausted our attempts on getting the pureed junk into him and we'll stick to self feeding chunks.

Andrew's sleeping habits

You never know where you will find this one when it comes time for sleeping. Here he has drug everything out into the hallway and is fast asleep. It is not an uncommon thing to find him in the closet or under his bed. Most nights he can be found on the floor most likely without a pillow or cover but it never seems to phase him. With the weather getting a little cooler now, we are going to have to pull out some warmer pajamas for this silly boy!

Soccer

This is Lauren's first time to play soccer. She thinks it is tons of fun! Her team name is 'Stars'.  Here they are lined up doing drills before a game.  We only have one more game left for the season which is a good thing as it is a little chilly at 8:45 in the morning now.

She especially enjoys taking her turn as goalie.

Andrew can't wait for next spring for his first chance to get out on the field.

First day of school

Today is Lauren's 5th birthday and her first day of Kindergarten. She told me on the way to school this morning that she was a little nervous but you'd never had known it once we got there. She trucked it right into her classroom, put her backpack away and headed for her seat. I snapped a couple pictures and then she happily waved good-bye to the boys and I. I'm so glad that she enjoys school. Her new classmates made her a big card for her special day.

We'll be taking in treats tomorrow. We are required to bring in prepackaged items and it's breakin' my heart. I so enjoy baking treats with the kids to take. At least, I still have preschool to bake for!

Picnic Fun

Lauren got a new picnic basket for her birthday so we had to test it out last night. Our picnic only took us to the backyard this time but I'm sure we'll be taking plenty of trip to the park in the near future.

Birthday Fun!

We celebrated Lauren & Andrew's birthdays this past weekend. They both got tons of great stuff. We've had a great few days playing with all the new stuff.

Our first lost tooth

We'll be off to the dentist tomorrow morning. Yippee!! I'm sure the dentist will not do anything but maybe file it down a bit.

We have one very sad twirler due to the rain today. . . no performance. There is a slight chance it will get rescheduled to Saturday but if not, she still has 4 parades and a recital this summer.

Logan - 4 months

Logan had his 4 month check up yesterday. He now weighs 16 lbs 1 oz (73%) and is 26.5 inches long (90%). We continue to fight the reflux and eczema but other than that he is doing great.

New things for him . . .

• playing with his feet
• grabbing for toys and bringing them to his mouth
• rolling (still perfecting that one)
• rockin' out in the exersaucer
• blowing raspberries
• lots of talking and screaming
• laughing

We feel so blessed to have added such a happy child to our family.

Three Amigos

Why is it so hard to look at mommy and smile?!?!? This is the best we could manage. . .

3 Months

According to our scales, this little guy is up to 14 lbs 11 oz. I also measured him at 24.5 inches. He's definitely growing!! When we brought Logan home and I pulled out all the clothes that I had boxed up from Andrew, I couldn't understand why there were so few 0-3 and 3-6 month clothes . . . now I understand. Logan is currently wearing 6-9 month clothes and 9-12 sleepers. Andrew blew through the sizes as well. Logan is a little behind Andrew's stats at this age.

Logan is still a very happy baby and loves to watch Lauren & Andrew play. They do a great job of keeping him entertained. He is sleeping through the night and that is amazing! Lauren & Andrew were MUCH older when they tackled that milestone. And here is his latest trick . . . thumb sucking. While it is quite cute, it isn't something that I'm advocating.

Preschool Graduation

Preschool is over for one little lady! She had such a great time during her two years there. She is so ready for Kindergarten to start. She really thought that the day after graduation she would be starting Kindergarten so you can imagine her disappointment when she learned that she would be spending 3 months at home w/ me and her brothers.

We have several activities planned for this summer like baton twirling, soccer, library reading program, spray park trips, etc. so I think the time will fly by.

Snuggle Bunnies

One thing is for sure . . . Lauren really loves her little brother!

Logan

5 weeks










8 weeks













At Logan's 2 month check up, he weighed 12 lbs 13 oz and was 23.5 inches long putting him in the 81st & 70th percentile. We are still dealing w/ some reflux and eczema issues but both are greatly improving with the prescribed medication. The reflux medication just neutralizes the acid so the spit up he does have isn't painful for him. While that is wonderful, I do wish we could control the amount of spit up that comes out of him. He goes through at least 3 outfits a day and usually one for me or dad. My laundry pile has grown!

Let's Dance

We're getting ready to watch the Cats play in the 'Big Dance' this afternoon!!!!

Baby Logan

From this . . .

To This . . .

Logan Ramsey arrived on February 24th. He is perfect and we couldn't ask for more!

Valentine's Day

Lauren's Valentine's day party at preschool was this morning. We put these little bags together last week. Lauren was in charge of getting all the goodies into each bag and I was to staple the toppers on. She had a ball picking out what color of m&m bags should go with which color of bubble wands.

Now, that I've somewhat covered what has happened in the past two months, I'll try to keep more current. Seems like the days are just flying by now. . .
