44 in 404 - update

It's been over two months since I made my 44 in 404 goal list! Time to do a quick update on my progress, and refresh myself on what else is on the list! Several of my goals are ongoing over the entire 404 days. I'm not going to address most of those.

2. Master the art of layered cakes. - Still working on this one. I made a pretty pathetic layered cake for my birthday.

3. Make good homemade frosting. (preferably an ideal type for layered cakes!) - and an even worse frosting! It was clearly not meant for layering anything!

6. Read the entire Bible. - I zoomed right through John. Then just stopped. Starting back TODAY on Joshua!

8. Stay off of Facebook for a whole week. 5 times. - 2x

10. Finish the afghan I started in Aug of 2011. - I am working so hard on this! I believe, I believe!

11. Give all handmade Christmas gifts. - a few gifts are made, and we just bought supplies for a few more!

17. Learn more about nutrition and healthy eating. - I bought a book on baby nutrition, that is one step forward for this one.

18. Make freezer meals, 5 times. -2x

22. Clean out my dresser. - Check! 

23. Go through the closet and get rid of clothes I will never wear again. - Check!

37. Use mostly homemade baby food. - so far I have made pears and sweet potato.

43. Read more fiction. - I read a book! Yep, A, as in one. Haha. But I am meeting the author this Friday! Cool, right?!

Looks like I have a lot more work to do! Glad I went over my list to remind myself!

Five Months Old!

Little man is growing and loving life. He has started eating solid foods! He loves to eat. Applesauce is probably his favorite. The only thing he has turned down is peas. He rolls all over the place, but still has trouble getting from tummy to back. He loves to be loud and will yell, squeal, and scream.

I just can't get enough of him, most of the time. ;)

This is what 5 months looks like:

Hehe.

Four Months Old!

(..and five days)

 Our little man is getting more fun all of the time. I have a feeling each month is going to be more fun than the last. We just love spending time with him every day.

 This month he discovered "standing," and love it! He wants to stand up all of the time now. He also discovered that he can squeal and scream happy screams. For about a week or two he did it all the time. That novelty didn't last very long. 

He always keeps us guessing and smiling. We wouldn't have it any other way. 

Belly Progression!

I made most of this before I had Logan. I finally sat down and finished it today!

Three Months Old!

Another month has passed, and our little man is still busy growing and changing.

Logan is much more interactive with toys now. He holds them and chews on them. He absolutely loves sitting  straight up, which has made his high chair a really handy place to put him while we are eating. He may not be eating solid foods yet, but we are already all enjoying meal time as a family at the table, a tradition I plan to continue as long as we have kids living at home. 

Logan enjoys being read to now. He will stare intently at the pictures. He also introduces more sounds to his "vocabulary" very often. Sometimes they surprise him more than us!

His sleeping pattern is usually pretty consistent. Bedtime is around 8:30 or 9 and he generally wakes up between 5:30 and 7. However, last night he woke up at 1:30 and ate for quite a while! I think we are hitting that three month growth spurt. He still has three to four naps a day, ranging from 30 minutes to an hour and a half. 

He is so close to rolling over (back to front), but that dang shoulder keeps getting in the way. He has very strong legs and uses them to push his booty off of the ground and hold it in the air.

I feel like my rambling is very boring, so I will let you just enjoy some pictures of the baby now!

I call this "Skepticism."
