MRS JERRY WILKISON

Yes,
 In November, I will be Mrs. Jerry Wilkison. We are leaning towards November 10th, which ironically is the day before our 3 year mark:) We are planning on having a very small ceremony with papa marrying us...Rachel is my maid of honor while Donnie(friend of ours) is Jerry's best man. Jerrys Grandmother, my parents, Gramma Carel and of course Logan will be the only attendants at the ceremony- (our compromise of a courthouse wedding) with a bbq party to follow a couple weeks after!!!! I cannot wait to marry Jerry even though in our minds we already are!

Sick Days

Well- it all started Thursday when Jerry came home with a headache and started throwing up- his was just a tension headache but anytime one of us gets sick now, I automatically try to determine what to do if Logan catches it. Thus, his first cold. Started up Wednesday night with a little cough, then Friday morning he was stuffy and coughing to the point he was choking. I made a dr appt and she told us what we had thought- he had a cold. However, 3 months old is too young for any medicine so he had to tough it out. He got over it in two days. NOW- he shared his cold with me. We all know that when I get a cold, it turns into a sinus infection.(I know I'm getting one now because my teeth hurt and my nose feels like someone threw a bunch of bricks at it) Yesterday was Logan's followup appointment, where she said all we needed to do now was watch for signs of an ear infection that sometimes follows a cold in babies and for me to get some rest and wash my hands and blah blah blah before I hold Logan so he doesn't get it again. I would be lying if I told you I didn't miss the days where if I was sick, I could just lay in bed and do nothing, but each blessing comes with a small sacrifice. I have to sacrifice my "bed-time" for Logan to eat, play, and talk all day every day! Jerry's a little helpful, but Logan has his routine and 99% of the time, I'm the one doing it- so MOMS DONT GET SICK DAYS!!!!

the baby carrier

Ever since Logan was born, if he saw me cleaning or cooking, he had to be held. Luckily, after a couple days of TRYING to just let him cry it out, I remembered Aunt Sara sending me the baby carrier she used with Gage. I strap him in it, but then he was facing me since he couldn't hold his head up, only time he would be ok with it was when he wanted to sleep though....fast forward to yesterday- he didn't want to be put down AT ALL!!! I was trying to clean up some and Jerry was talking to our maintenance guy here at our apt complex, so I pull this "baby harness" as I call it out of the drawer and try this position where he's facing out now that he can properly hold his head up, and he smiles and talks and just stares! However, as soon as Jerry sees it, he wants to try it(which until now, he thought I was stupid for using it) so we readjust everything to fit him, and besides how Logan looks in the picture, he was really happy when daddy was holding him. Jerry bounced a little and he started laughing which is a new thing for Logan. I wish I had gotten it on video, but there will be more chances!

Logan's First Swim!!!

As you know, days in Florida are getting hotter. Logan just reached the 3 month mark, so I've eased up a little on what I will do with him. We went to Sams Club with our friends Leah and Donnie who have a 7 month old named Madison...after doing some shopping, we agreed that as hot as it is outside, we would all go to Keystone Beach, however after getting everyone suited up, fed, and in the car, we sadly found out that the little beach in Keystone Heights, was in fact, empty....there hasn't been any rain in a while so all our lakes are pretty muddy and dry. So, we decided to go to Leah's grandmother's house to her pool and lounge around for a little bit...hence LOGAN'S FIRST POOL!!!! He wasn't happy at first because it was SOOO cold, but once he got used to it, he was kicking and moving his arms and smiling until we had him so worn out he couldn't keep his eyes open! So Jerry and I have decided that we will do more swimming trips, possibly get a little pool when he's able to sit himself up without any support or help from us and just let him go! Pics will follow soon, Leah was the only one who took pictures!!!

What kind of mother would I be if I didn't give my son his first Easter Basket? LOL....especially with food that mommy and daddy can eat for him! All dressed up, we went to Grandma and PawPaws house for Easter dinner, which was AMAZING, but what meal doesn't taste amazing when my mom' makes it? The day was spent just having fun and relaxing, Logan did try a warhead for the first time...Made an awful face(SOUR!!!) his daddy did it, not me! Mom was mad until she saw Logans face and then we all wished we had taken a picture!
