Packing away Christmas

I finally got all the decorations put away today and of course the house is looking pretty plain, but it's refreshing to have the room back and be able to move around. It took awhile to find places for all the new "stuff" and reorganize the old to fit everything in. I had to go thru a lot of drawers and such when Olivia was sleeping so I could throw papers and used up coloring books out. To know Olivia is to know that she keeps EVERYTHING, one example: we had to bring the Rudolph wrapping paper from Pa. to here and still cannot throw it away! That's just one example! (note to self: we need a bigger house some day) I feel pretty caught up at this point, don't know how long it will last though! Olivia has been busy at her new table and chairs Santa brought. I don't know if it's b/c she has her "own space" at this table or what, but she hasn't left it since we put it up for her. I was getting tired of never having my kitchen table to do anything on and her little projects were everywhere on it, so I have taught myself to leave her table alone and it's OK if it's messy! She has done a good job of keeping it cleaned off and wiping it down.....wonder why my kitchen table never got that treatment?

Logan is still Logan. He laughs sooooo much and i was finally able to catch him ,although not without movement to blur the picture. Help Me Grow is coming in on Friday to do a evaluation on him so I should find out how much he weighs again. My cousin Chad got to see Logan over Christmas (he was studying to be a Dr. and did some time in the NICU) and he was very impressed with Logan and how well he looked and how VERY strong he is. That made me feel really good from someone that knows about preemie babies and has seen some of both sides of outcomes. (another note to self: take camera next time to aunt cookies and get pics of the cousins together before they are driving! LOL) I have also noticed Logan trying to reach for toys. He will grab hold, and then that's it, so he's really not doing it to play, but it's a start. Gotta start somewhere!!

I figure these pics are reason enough to have another!! (mom, if you are reading this and want to show dad the pics, don't let him read that part~LOL)

Do you think Olivia likes to pose?!!
