Little Frog Man

When I registered for this robe and slippers outfit I wasn't sure if he'd ever get to actually wear it. Turns out it is great for leaving the butt open without a diaper for awhile! Not to mention the fact that it is so darn cute.

A Full Afternoon

Abby and Holli- First post-baby Margaritas at On the Border
Payton loves Logan

Can't stop kissin on him

Logan's first Pinocle game at Nana's
Papa Kris
Uncle AJ(aka the baby hog)

We had a busy but good day today. We made it to meet the babysitter, survived dinner in Wichita, went for our first walk with the stroller and even made it to Nana's when we got back to sit in on a game of Pinocle. The girl in the picture with me at Nana's is Uncle AJ's girlfriend Kristen. We adore her and think she is absolutely sweet. She's learning the game, and all the quirks of playing Pinocle with my family. I don't even know any other kids that know HOW to play Pinocle or what it is. I always thought my parents were crazy for teaching us but we have a great time. We were definitely ready for bed when we got home...little did we know Logan had other plans!

Look Who's Awake!

Hey Everyone!
I need some attention please.

The puppy loves to cuddle with me.

But I'm really waiting for Nana to come home.

We spent today...you guessed it, just hanging out at the house! We did go out for a late breakfast/early lunch at 11:00 this morning. This afternoon Logan refused to go down for nap. He was awake from 12:30 until just now at 4:00 when he finally gave in. It's like he just didn't want to miss anything. I'll take him awake at 12:30 in the afternoon over 12:30 in the morning anytime though.

Nana and Papa will be home tomorrow. We can't wait to show them how much Logan has changed in the last week and a half. Then we are going to meet our babysitter and have dinner with Abby and Walt. It should be a good day. We love weekends when daddy is home. It's so much easier to get things done. Steve laughed at me the other day because he came home and found me "wearing" Logan. I have a sling and a strap carrier and he likes them both. So don't be alarmed if you find me doing some babywearing in order to keep house over here!

An Evening At Home With The Boys

Playtime with brother
All my boys

Mommy time

There isn't much to say tonight. It's cool and rainy here...the kind of weather that makes me want to go snuggle up with a baby and good book! I don't know that the book thing will happen but I'm sure there will be much snuggling of the infant child...how can I help it? He just begs to be loved on! Tonight he sat awake and stared at Christopher for the longest time. Steve can't wait until he becomes a little more interactive. I see big changes in him everyday. They are only little for such a short time. I will miss this stage in his life when it is gone. That gives me permission to spoil/hold/love on him as much as possible now!

Sweet Thing

There is nothing sweeter,
than a freshly bathed baby,

wrapped in a fluffy, soft hooded towel.

Logan is getting better with bathtime. He doesn't scream the ENTIRE time any more. His cord fell off today so tonight we could really fill up the tub, submerse him and keep him warm. We didn't have any appointments today, just kind of hung around at the house. Uncle AJ and Kristen came by to visit this afternoon.

We are working really hard on the breastfeeding thing. He still hasn't ever gotten formula but it is difficult with the nipple shield when we have to go somewhere to breastfeed. It's much easier to be bums and hang out at the house where we can walk around half naked during the day(as long as Christopher is at school), take naps whenever we want and just be free. I keep telling myself it will get better and my husband is soooo supportive. Getting to sleep during the day sure makes the long nights much easier to handle. We took to the couch until about 3 a.m. last night so that everyone else could get some sleep!

Just Hangin' Out

Not much new going on...still working on trying to figure out our nights. I took Logan for his two week check-up yesterday. Last week he had gained some weight and was up to 6 pounds 10 ounces. He lost an ounce and was down to 6 pounds 9 ounces yesterday. I'm frustrated to say the least. He seems to be eating great. He breastfeeds all day and night and Steve feeds him bottles in the evening when he is home.

I'm sure that my doctor didn't say anything near to what my hormonal self perceived her saying but I ended up bawling like a baby in the car on the way home. I don't know why I felt like such a failure just because the poor kid lost an ounce. I'll sure be glad when my emotions are back to normal!

Oh, SO Cute!

The mom and the tiny bit of photographer in me couldn't resist last night because Logan was in such a good mood. We had to get the new camera out and catch a few shots. We had an awesome night last night. Logan slept for nearly 5 hours. Of course at 4:45 when he woke up he was ready to go but I don't even remember the last time I got 5 hours of sleep all night...combined! Thank God for sleep.

He is starting to be awake more and for longer periods of time. He is going to be so much fun!
