A Week in Review

It may seem a little sad that I find the past week noteworthy, but when anything happens out of the ordinary (meaning my days don't consist of coming home from work, playing with Logan a bit, putting him down, then doing whatever around the house waiting for Jeremy to come home), it's exciting for me.
First off, last Tuesday we FINALLY had Logan's nine month appointment. It had been forever since he's been to the doctor because his six month appointment was early and his nine month was obviously late, so I was anxious to find out his stats. They are as follows:

Weight: 20 lbs 5 oz, 38%
Length: 29.13 inches, 69%
Head Cir: 18.5 inches, 87%

Not too bad. I did find the weight surprising. Simply because when people see Logan, I usually hear two things. 1- He's a CUTE baby, and 2- He's fat/chunky/big. Well, he's not, it's just those big cheeks and big head! My insurance changed when I went part time, so we went to a new doctor and I loved her. She also told me that I can now give Logan eggs and peanut butter, that new research now shows it won't hurt, and might even be beneficial. I swear baby dos and don'ts change all the time. 

Logan is totally healthy. He now has six teeth, is crawling non-stop and getting into everything, and pulls himself up onto his knees (really fun at bedtime). He is also now putting his weight on his legs. He no longer refuses to stand. Don’t know if that’s good or bad. He’ll probably be walking soon. :( 

For some reason, this is my new favorite picture of Logan. I just love that oversized beanie on him.

And here he is looking mighty handsome in his shirt and tie at the temple. So cute.

On Thursday night, my friend Lori came over and we made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. My recipe makes an enormous amount of cookies, so it was nice to have someone take some home. But even better was the company, since I am alone every night. And might I say, they were some YUMMY cookies. And I've still got more than enough.

Friday night we invited Dave and Laura over for games and dinner (sorry you and Dave couldn't come Mandy!). I made some pretty darn good chicken enchiladas, then we played Sliders (a new form of Sorry!) and Cloodle, a way fun drawing game. We had a great time, and it was fun to actually spend some time with friends.

Saturday night Pace came over and watched Logan while we went on a date. We drove down to Provo and ate at one of Jeremy's friend's new pizza place, then went to see a coworker of mine at a stand-up comedy show. The food was good, that comedy was mostly funny (it was a BYU thing), and the company was outstanding. It's always nice to spend some alone time with Jeremy, even if we do miss Logan. As for my coworker, he really is hilarious. Did anybody see this? That's him, and his "Library Intruder" video on YouTube is hilarious.

And then there was Sunday......... We've been in our new ward for probably about three months, and although I liked NOT having a calling, I was starting to think it was about time to get one. But there was one calling I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT WANT. I even told a member of the bishopric when he came to visit us that I did not want it. I had it in our first ward, and it made me DREAD going to church. Then we got it in our Eagle Mountain ward, and I came home and sobbed afterward because of our horrible experience in American Fork. Then, even after I got released in Eagle Mountain, my next calling as Activity Days leader was still a part of the other calling. I DID NOT WANT IT. Well, after Sacrament Meeting the ward clerk asked us to meet with the bishop after the block. I thought I knew what was coming....and I did. We got called as primary teachers. Well, we walked out of the church and I started sobbing again. It's not that being a primary teacher is horrible, (okay, it was in American Fork; a few of those kids were MEAN), but I've had this same calling for 4 years. I just want something different. I want to feel like I am capable, and that the Lord thinks I am capable, of doing something other than that. I will try to have a better attitude, because I know the kids deserve better than a teacher who has been feeling that way I have been feeling the past few days.
