A Summer Baby Shower

 I threw a baby shower for my friend Sarah the other weekend.  She's having a baby girl, and of course, since I have two boys and no girls, I really went overboard.  I could have done more with decorations, but just didn't have the time to do EVERYTHING that I wanted.  It still turned out really nice and I think everyone had a good time!  Some of the pictures (taken on a camera fine cause I couldn't find our camera in time). 
The clothesline for Sarah's baby girl Aubrey. 

The gift table.

Melissa, Courtney, Amanda and Jennifer

The centerpieces...It just looks like oranges and lemons in there, but there are also limes too.

Another view of the table decorations.



The food---including the yummy lemon bars that Tracie made.

Sarah got a lot of new stuff for herself and her baby girl Aubrey.  I am really excited for her having a little girl!

4 Months Old!

My littlest baby (Rick and Evan are also babies!) is now 4 months old!  His doctor's appointment was yesterday.  He now weighs 12 lbs, 10 oz (he was 6 lbs, 1 oz at birth) and is now 24 1/4 inches long.  My sister bought him a Liverpool FC kit for the soccer game later this month. 

There he is!  My little soccer player! 

Logan and his little hands.  He loves those! 

What can Logan do now?  (in addition to staring, eating, crying and pooping)
-Rolls over from his tummy to his back
-Holds up his head to look around.  He's not too wobbly anymore!
-Lifts his back to try and sit up
-Kicks his feet like a crazy soccer player
-Eats his fingers and fists, stares avidly at them.
-Sucks his thumb
-Laughs and smiles, especially at big brother, mommy and daddy.
-Stares intensely at us while we eat
-Does not sleep through the night (wakes up about once or twice now)
-Tries to crawl.  While on his tummy he moves his feet and legs back and forth like crazy!
-Babbles and coos.  Has a lot to say to us
-Wakes up like mommy and big brother
-Still eats a lot
