Logans Room

The only room in the entire house that's complete. Aside from a few little things...need a plant for the orange pot and need a shelf installed in his closet. I think it came out delightful especially since we made do with sifting around the house and creating his room with all the old crap we had. The "theme" or colors more so were loosely based around the penguin picture I painted for Kevin last fathers day.

3 months already!

Our little peanut is not so peanutty anymore. Yesterday I had him in a 6month shirt and he is out growing most of his jammers :o The biggest thing this month has been his napping...thank goodness - he's still not great at it but we're getting there. Bedtime is a breeze - we have a little routine going and he has definitely caught on. This month we've had several days where is has slept from 7pm till 3:30am and then from after the 3:30am feeding till sometime between 5 and 7am! He's a little morning bird though and has been getting up at 5 or 6am ready to seize the day. ugh. I can now survive on 5hours of sleep, 4 glasses of wine or not. Kevin tries to do at least one of the middle of the night feedings on the weekends to let me catch up on some z's but I find I still wake up and make sure everything went ok and to check to make sure the bottle I pumped was enough for our little growing weed.

When Logan is all grown I want to remember to tell him that as a baby he farted soooo much. Such a boy about it too...farts and smiles. Farts in the bath, farts when he wakes up, farts at in opportune moments in line at the store. Little Mr. Rooty Tooty

We have a napper!

This is relatively old news but I thought it deserved it's own post. Logan naps! I don't know what happened but it's as if our baby grew up over night and realized that sleep is a good thing. I had decided that when we moved into our new house I'd try to start new habits with him and put him up in his crib for a nap when he started getting tired. I prepared myself to have to stay in the room the whole time putting a pacifer in, swaddling him, rocking him whatever it took. But the very first day I tried - I laid him down on his side/belly & no pacifier and he didn't even fuss - just went to sleep. It's been like that everyday since. Occasionally he'll want his pacifier but he never cries when I put him down awake. We're up to a 1hr nap in the morning and a 1-2 hr nap in the afternoon and I'm trying to get him to rest a little in the early evening. Baby steps.

Oh wait...

One more picture cause it breaks my heart. Taken on one of our all day out shopping trips...

too much mommy, too much.

Finnallllllllyyyy

We make our return to the world wide web! I thought not having caffeine was hard. Try not having caffeine or internet. We'll play catch up through the pics below and then call it good and start a fresh. Definitely check our album though...a few additional pictures of the babe and our first 2 weeks.

Pulling in the driveway for the first time

Lots of unpacking and lots of help from Dylan

Having to leave Dylan in the house by himself for the first time...mrrrr

Tons of other firsts: First real dinner, first lawn cutting (fyi: Kevin cut the front and I cut the back - obviously Daddy couldn't handle the baby and the camera at the same time to take my picture pushin the mower), first wall hanging going up, first time at the grill

Lots and lots-o-shopping
