One Month!!!

























Well, we made it through month one! Logan is doing great. He likes to take walks and play on his mat. He is definitely becoming more alert and observant. He is a good eater and a good sleeper at night time, but has some issues with what to do with himself when he is awake. He has about a five minute attention span before he gets cranky and wants to do something new. He is also a big sleep fighter. We say the bigger the fit the longer the nap. Even when his eyes are closed he will let out a couple of big screams before finally giving in to sleep. I think he is afraid he will miss something. He loves bath time so we take extra long baths at night. He is also getting much stronger. Shawn likes to work with him on his 'muscles'. His grandma's have been a big help to me during the day as I am trying to finish my final paper for my masters degree. Only 2 weeks left! We have not yet been able to catch smile on camera and although it may just be gas it is still cute to us. He also went to his first baseball game Friday night to watch his Uncle Kyle play. He did suprisingly well and we made it through the whole game. We decided to take a picture of him each month to see his growth (I stole this idea from a friend of mine's blog). We are looking forward to seeing what new things Logan has in store for us in month number 2!

Birth of Baby Logan


Nine days past his due date, baby Logan finally made his arrival on Thursday March 31st, 2011 at 11:29pm. We went in for our scheduled induction around midnight on March 30th and we were certain we were coming home with an April Fool's day baby, but around 11pm on March 31st he started showing some signs of distress and I came down with a fever of 100.5, so the doctor decided it was best to take him by c-section. He weighed 8lbs 5oz and was 21 inches long. We spent our first few days in the hospital but finally made it home Sunday afternoon. Overall, he is a great baby. He pretty much just eats, sleeps, and poops. On his 3rd night home he slept for a little over 5 hours during the night. We were very excited! Our cats have adjusted well and spend time wherever we are. They sniff him but other than that they are not to interested in him. Shawn has been home all week and it has been great to share this time together during his first week. Monday he will go back to work and it will be just the two of us during the day. I will be off of work until May 31st. I will go back for a week and then be off all summer until next school year.

I am hoping to keep up with this blog regularly so that we can look back and remember milestones and events in our little man's life. We have made it through the first week and are excited for all the things that the future weeks have in store.
