2 Months Old!

Can it be that my baby is already 2 months old? I can't believe how fast he's grown! Logan's cutest trick is his smiles. He is such a happy baby. I have the hardest time getting them on camera. I think he's a little scared of it, plus whenever he smiles, he gets excited and kicks and waves his arms so the picture turns out blurry.

He's also learned how to suck his thumb and gets quite the pleasure out of it. I just hope he doesn't make it a habit!

Logan's grown a lot! Here are his stats from his 2 month appointment:

Weight: 12 lb 11 oz - 90%
Length: 24 1/4 inches - 95%
Head Circumference - 15 3/4 inches - 60%

I admit I've been worried about him eating enough but I think he's getting plenty!

Logan didn't like his shots AT ALL. It was so sad to see him cry so hard. After he got them he took a really long nap and felt better after a bath and Tylenol. I am not looking forward to getting those again!

Other things Logan is doing:
*He sleeps through the night! Hooray! He's been going to bed around 8:30 and waking up at 6:30-7. I wake up in the morning wondering how he's doing and I'll hear him talking to himself. I think he just keeps himself entertained until I go get him.
* He's quite the talker. That's what he's doing in the picture above. His favorite words are "A-gooo and A-wooo (like a wolf)."
*He's started to laugh a little bit, and it sounds like a hiccup
*His favorite rhymes are Itsy, Bitsy Spider, Popcorn Popping, and Patty-cake (mom helps him do the arm actions)
*He anticipates the tickling at the end of "This Little Piggy" and gets really excited. I think me tickling him catches him off guard so he doesn't smile as big!
*He loves being outside and really enjoys his walks
*He falls asleep every time he gets in his car seat, even if the destination is a couple blocks away
*He toots louder than his daddy :)
*He can lift his head when he's on his tummy and sometimes his chest too
*He has really good head control and likes to sit up so he can look around
*He likes the bear mobile in his pack and play
*He likes his swing most of the time
* He stiffens his legs and "stands" on your lap
Is it wrong to want to keep him this small?

Croft Family Pictures

A couple weeks ago we got some family pics taken. It's been forever since we've done them. Even at my wedding 3 years ago, Sam was on his mission and we had a cutout of him! We went to Woodland Park in Farmington and it was beautiful. Thanks to Sarah Hatch our photographer, who was very patient with us (we were late, Logan had to be fed, changed, etc). Check out Sarah's work here.

We got some of Logan in his blessing outfit. The chair belonged to Benj's grandpa, and he gave it to Logan!
Another Mommy and son pic. I love my baby.
I haven't seen all of the pics yet but I'll post more soon!

Happy Birthday!

Logan, Benj and I want to wish my sweet mom and handsome bro a very happy birthday! 20 years ago, Andy was born on my mom's birthday. What a great gift! Love you two!

Chris and Ashley

This weekend we got to celebrate the wedding of our good friends Chris and Ashley! They got married on June 12th, and it was the only dry, sunny day this whole week. We are so excited for them and wish them the best. Here are some pictures from their day (hope they don't mind me sharing). The new husband and wife. So cute and so happy.

Good friends Natalie and Tony.

The 3 groomsmen. Don't they look dashing?

These guys have been friends most of their lives.

Bein' sassy.

It seems like yesterday we were the ones getting married. Where does the time go?

Ash was so cute at the luncheon and wanted a chance to hold Logan.

With Uncle TJ.

Their reception. Logan was hungry and eating his hands.

I love this picture. Just look at their smiles! Congrats you guys!

Such a Blessing

Yesterday Logan was blessed by his daddy. It was such a beautiful, special day. Logan was alert but quiet during the blessing and then slept the day away after that! We are so thankful for good friends and family who came to support us. We love you all!

Our little family.
