I can't get enough of her, so I figure you can't either so here is another really cute one of her!
Logan LOVES her kitty, Oliver! She loves to carry him around wherever she goes. She usually does pretty well, but sometimes he wriggles and she loses her grip, but won't let go, so we end up with an intervention situation. :) He is a good, patient kitty.
Needing an intervention. . .
Can I tell you how much I love this little face?! She is seriously our light and our sunshine! We LOVE her SOOO MUCH!!!
Wouldn't you? I mean, look at that!!! And it's a scratch on her nose from a fall. NOT a bloody nose! :)


Okay, so my brother and his wife were here for about ten days or so and we did some pretty fun things. One thing I have been DYING to do since we moved here was to find out how to get down to this beach that I had seen from a distance a whole bunch of seals out sun bathing. Well, we did it! We are literally like less than 100 feet away from these seals on this beach! It was so much fun. We are not sure if it was legal to go down there, no one else was on that beach. But I think it's just cuz it's SUPER hard to get to! It's quite a hike down and around the beach. Logan actually fell asleep in my arms. That was a WORKOUT!!! But it was all totally WORTH IT beacuse LOOK!! There are SEALS right there!!! They had their cute eyes on us the whole time! We thought they were planning our ambush attack from the water behind, but we survived. Phwew!! Anyway, we LOVE NEWPORT!

Did I mention. . .

I'm a bit taken back. I put my baby in a big girl bed yesterday. Well, I'm a bit late because last night was her first night in her big girl bed. But I still count her age in months. Three hands and one finger. That's not enough for a big bed is it? I don't know what I was thinking but all I know is that we'd better fill the crib back up soon or I might have a relapse! I don't know what I will be relapsing, seeing as I have never really -lapsed- before, but I thought relapse would be a fun word. I think I will go ahead and put her in her crib tonight. . . Just teasing. She is my little adult baby. I don't know where the time has gone. I waited my whole life to be a mom and to have a baby and now my baby is an adult. Sort of. Compared to when she was born, yeah!! Gosh. I'm having a hard time with this. I need another one. Shhhh. . .don't tell Adam! He thinks I'm silly. Oh well. Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know about our recent advancement. Sad, but true! We love her so much!!!! That's not sad, but what I blogged about. Not really sad, nostalgic? I'm going now. :)
