Thanks Nonny

My mom was here this week to help during the day. I was able to get a little more done than usual because I had someone to hold Logan. Thanks Mom!

Logan today. . .

Logan is growing every day. I'm threatening to stop feeding him and letting him sleep because I like tiny baby Logan so much. I know each phase of his life will be so much fun, but I'm going to have a hard time watching him grow up. He is wide awake twice a day for a few hours. Once in the morning after his breakfast and once after dinner. His eyes are so big and I think they are going to be blue.

Cousin Olivia

Thanksgiving day, Andrew's family arrived from Omaha to meet the newest edition to the family. His sister Kristi, husband Matt, Olivia and Addison were so nice to make the LONG drive down. For Olivia, the drive probably felt extra long because she was so anxious to meet her new cousin. Logan was asleep when she arrived, so she was a little upset that she couldn't hold him right away. It was a long nap for the little guy, but she was sure to check on him every 10 seconds to see if he was awake yet.



When he finally did wake up, she was VERY sad to hear that he had to be changed and fed before she could hold him. When I went to feed him she camped out outside his room and knocked to check on us every minute or two.



Then finally, FINALLY, Logan had a dry diaper and a full belly and was ready to meet his cousin. Olivia was so good with him and we look forward to the free baby sitting in our future!

2nd Cousin Raleigh

The day after we got home from the hospital Andrew's cousin Derek, his wife Wendi, and their 5 month old Raleigh came to meet Logan and to bring us dinner. (GREAT Mexican lasagna, Wendi!) This is how Raleigh chose to welcome her new cousin to the world. . .

Smooshable-icious

We put Logan to bed on his back at night on his crib wedge and when we wake up in the morning we find him on his side with his arm under his face. It is the sweetest thing to wake up to.

YIPPEEE!!!

Yesterday we met Amy at her studio in Grapevine for Logan's newborn pictures. Logan arrived awake and happy, so we got a few shots, then we needed him asleep for the rest of the session. Whoa! For a baby who has perfected the art of the nap you would think this would've been an easy task. He was naked, it was cold and he was very awake. Amy was so patient to wait for me to get him down. I fed him, I rocked him, I shush, shush, shushed him until I was blue in the face. Poor guy was naked for 3 straight hours. I was pooped on, peed on, and we had to do some heavy duty stain removing on some blankets when we got home, but Amy finally got her shots. She does AMAZING work, wouldn't you agree???

And Logan didn't take that early morning nap again this morning either. I guess I'll have to find a new time of day to shower. . .

Better Mom than Blogger

I've tried to make time every day to post a picture, but I just never get around to it! Here is one from Thanksgiving that I just love. If you keep up with my dad's blog then you've already seen it, but I know some of you don't, so here it is!!!



Andrew went back to work today and my in-laws were so kind to ask if I wanted them to stay a few more days. I said YES!!! Things are running smoothly so far today, so I think we'll be okay, but I was terrified to be alone at home with Logan and not have anyone to hand him off to if I needed to do something. I will have to learn to just set him down and let him cry sometimes I guess, but it is so hard!

I will be a better blogger when I get my routine down - promise!!!
