A big weekend!! Lots of pictures!

This weekend was so fantastic! Saturday we spent the morning celebrating our niece Piper's first birthday party at my brother and sister-in-law's house. She was a total doll face all day. It was a great time! We were able to see some friends and their little ones and spend time with family. Piper seemed to have a great day and I know we did. The first group of pictures are from her party. That evening we had Nathan's parents, grandparents and sister Deb over for dinner. It was nice - simple - lasagna, toast and a yummy salad. I don't have any pictures from that night as most of the pictures were taken on my in-laws camera and I couldn't find the card reader I need to copy the pictures over. It was a nice visit.

Sunday was a great Mother's Day celebration! Nathan and Logan gave me some beautiful green tinged roses and a peridot necklace. Peridot is a light green stone - Logan's birthstone. And the roses were supposed to go with that. I loved it all. We went to church and enjoyed a lovely service. Then Nathan and I had a relaxing afternoon. I took a nap which was great. Then we went out to dinner with my parents, Godparents and Kyle and Sarah and their kids. It was a great time!

This morning I took Logan to his 9 month appointment. He was 20 pounds 8 ounces and 29 inches long. Around the 70th-75th %tile. So he is proportionate. The doctor prescribed a topical cream for his face to try to help with the breakouts he is getting. I hope it clears up. I miss his smooth cheeks! He has grown so fast - from a 5th% at birth to what he is now. His doctor suggested we try to knock his 1-2 night feedings by way of the cry-it-out method. I'm not super keen on this... but we'll see what we end up doing.

So enjoy the pictures!

The beautiful birthday girl, Piper.

Piper playing with Logan's chicken fuzz hair.

Logan clearly loved it!

Tommy playing baseball in the yard. I was suprised with how well he hits the ball when it is tossed to him. Great hand/eye coordination. Can't believe he isn't even three years old yet!!

This picture and the two following it are three of my all time favorites. They completely capture his attitude and personality. He recently started doing the head tilt (aren't I cute?) look. I love it.

Logan got to meet his new friend Emilee. She is a total doll baby. Absolutely adorable.

Piper enjoyed showing off her new doll to big brother Tommy.

Piper got into her piece of cake eventually. It took her a little while, but she got there!

Piper and Logan giving each other some cousin lovin! (unfortunately the camera focused on the pop galss, but I still think it is a cute picture!) They were kissing each other a lot this weekend.

Mommy and her boy on my first Mother's Day. It was great! He is such a joy!

Logan made this for at daycare. He "painted" the pot and everything!

The green tinged roses I recieved.

The necklace. I love it!
