Growing Up So Quickly

Ok. So I'm a slacker and I haven't posted a picture a day. So much for resolutions :) I'm still not going to post any new pics today, but I wanted to post a couple of updates on Logan before I forgot.

He is FINALLY rolling over! He has been rolling over consistently since 1/25, and now he won't stay on his tummy...not even for a second! As soon as you place him on his tummy, he is rolling over!

He is also growing some teeth! Brandon discovered his bottom tooth poking through earlier today. This explains his fussiness the past couple of days, and hopefully it's also the reason behind his early rising. We gave him some teething tablets, along with some Infant's Tylenol. I hope this relieves some of the discomfort enough to let him (and me) sleep a little more soundly tonight.

I promise I will post some new pics and videos really soon!

Ginger

I tried using Ginger as a subject to practice my photography today. Unfortunately, she's not as good a model as Molly was. Poor, neglected Ginger was SO excited that I was even looking at her that she had a REALLY hard time sitting still enough for me to take her picture. I felt like I was trying to take Gavin's picture! These are a bit underexposed, but I'm just too lazy to go back and fix them in Photoshop tonight. Maybe I'll fix them tomorrow :) The first one is my favorite. What do you think...leave a comment and let me know!

Molly!!

Ever since Gavin's birth, poor Molly has been pushed to the side. She's taken it in stride, though, and she'll take whatever attention she can get whenever she can get it! That makes for the PERFECT photography practice subject if the kiddos have already gone to bed :) Molly was more than willing to pose for my camera since that meant that I was actually paying attention to her. I know...that's really sad that we've let it get this far. Poor Molly...and Ginger too! Maybe I'll use Ginger as my practice subject tomorrow. Hmmm....I wonder if that crazy dog would actually stay still long enough to have her picture taken. She's a bit spastic, kind of like Gavin :)

Anyway, here's my favorite shot of Molly that I took today. I think I got the focus right, but I still managed to crop one of her limbs. I guess that'll be the next thing I work on!

No Nap

We tried napping Logan in his crib today, and we ended up with a mini photoshoot instead of a nap. Rather than napping his usual 2-3 hours that he does in his swing, he napped for about 45 minutes in his crib. As a result, I was able to practice my photography in natural light, and as an added bonus, I learned NOT to try to get him to nap in his crib. If he's napping fine in his swing, I guess I'll continue to let him do that. I'll figure out what I'm going to do with him when he finally outgrows the swing, but I won't worry about that until then.

Here's one of the pics that I got today. I think I got the focus correct. Now I need to work on not cutting off parts of his body!

And just for fun...here's a pic of just how chunky our little monkey is.

Loves his Ramen!

Anytime there's Ramen, you can be sure that Gavin will be there! These pictures were taken just after he finished his lunch of a babyfood container of green beans (yes, I still feed him baby food, but I don't worry about him not getting his veggies!), a container of yogurt, and half of a chicken breast. Brandon sat down at the table with a bowl of Ramen for lunch, and Gavin was not going to be left out! What can I say except THAT BOY CAN EAT!

**All of these pictures have NOT been edited. They are all straight out of the camera! I was working on focusing on the inner corner of his eye. Did I get it? What do you think???**

He continues to amaze us every day! We went to Chili's for dinner tonight, and when we were leaving, Gavin said something that sounded like chee-dee. Obviously, I didn't know what he said, so I asked him to repeat himself. He said the same thing again. Then I asked him to tell me what that was. So he answered, "Big pepper name chee-dee" He has always referred to Chili's as the Big Pepper because of the big pepper that hangs outside of the restaurant. A few weeks ago, we had told him that it was called Chili's, not Big Pepper. It just amazes Brandon and I how he's making all sorts of connections with things! I guess he's not such a baby anymore!
