Family Visit

This past Sunday Shawn's family came over and we had hamburgers and hotdogs and hung out for the day. It was nice to have family over. Uncle Shawn spent lots of time outside playing football with Peyton and Koby. Although Logan is not yet old enough to get out there and play with the boys, I am excited that he has boy cousins that will rough house with him one day. Aunt Stacey and her fiance Steven also came to visit. Aunt Stacey is the one who diagnosed Logan's breathing issues before the doctor's. It was a great day and a great start to summer.
There is also a picture of Logan in his ECU t-shirt. Its a bit big right now, but we wanted to get a shot of daddy's little pirate. We are hoping to be able to take Logan to North Carolina this fall to see a game!

Two Months

Well, we have surpassed the two month mark. It has been a very eventful month. We took a couple of trips to the doctor and to the ENT in order to figure out what was causing Logan's breathing to sound so bad. The ultimate diagnosis was laryngomalacia. Sounds scary, but its not. Basically, the cartilage that makes up his windpipe is a little floppy and causes his breathing to sound bad. He has a mild case and should grow out of it by 6-9 months. It doesn't hurt him and it doesn't affect his oxygen intake.
At his 8 week check up he was 11lbs 0.5 oz and was 23 inches long. His height was in the 90th percentile and his weight was in the 50th. Long and skinny. The doctor switched us to soy formula and it was like we had a new baby. He had becmone very unhappy an hour or so after eating and since he has been on the soy he has been much better. He also got his shots. He cried less after shots than he did after the did their physical exam. Go figure! He only got a slight fever for a couple of hours after his shots and the tylenol helped him and us sleep.
He still wakes up once in the middle of the night to eat and has started to nap better during the day. Usually he takes one long nap and a few short naps a day. He still hates going down to sleep and is very vocal about it.
This month we have noticed a tremendous amount of growth in his alertness and strength. He smiles a lot, can track objects and people with his eyes, and has mini-laughed a couple of times. He definitely knows when we are in the room and when we leave. He has lost interest in his mat which used to be his favorite toy. Yesterday I bought a jumper/activity gym thing and I am hoping he likes it. His legs are very strong but he hates being on his stomach so we may be lagging behind in the arm strength.
I went back to work for a week but I am now home for the summer. I also recently completed all components of my masters degree including passing my state principal's exam!!! I am now certified to be a principal... scary thought huh?!?
We are heading to Corpus Christi in 2 weeks for my cousins wedding, so wish us luck on our first road trip with Logan.
Excited to see what the next month brings!
