Chubby Cheeks

It is not very often that Logan looks like he has chubby cheeks. It seems like every time he has chubby cheeks, a few days later his face has thinned out and he has gotten longer. I keep hoping that he will keep some of his chubbiness and hold off a little on the length at least for a little bit. Last night he slept for an 8 hour stretch which meant that I got a little more sleep for a change. I am hoping this continues so I can catch up on some sleep.

3 Months

Logan turned 3 months old on Sunday (I am a litttle late with the posting). His latest accomplishments are putting both of his hands together, reaching out to grab fingers or toys, and alternating between which fist he wants to put in his mouth. He currently weighs 12 lbs 12.5 oz. We survived the first round of the holiday season with Thanksgiving. Next we will battle Christmas. Tim was home for a few days over Thanksgiving and will be home again for Christmas. We are all looking forward to it.

Happy Thanksgiving

These are pictures of Logan at 12 weeks old. These are some of the poses we get on a regular basis. He currently weighs 12 lbs 5 oz and is 25 inches long. He got his first shots on Saturday and did not like them very much. It only took one night of being fussy and he was back to normal. Tim comes home for Thanksgiving tommorrow and we can't wait to see him. Hope everyone has a good turkey day if we don't see you.

2 Months Old

Logan is now 2 months old. Last week he decided that he did not like tummy time, so he rolled from his tummy to his back. He still likes to talk up a storm when he is in a good mood and has recently started blowing bubbles. This week at Mommy and Me Logan weighed in at 11 lbs 1 oz. Yesterday I did an informal measurement of him with the ruler and he is about 24 inches long. I now have him in 3-6 month clothing because of how long he is. Now he just needs to gain some weight to fill them out.

Back in Iowa

I just thought that I would update everyone on how we are doing since it has been a while. Logan and I got back to Iowa on October 7th. Last week we spent the week visiting people and trying to adjust to our new environment. We really confused people when we went to a baby shower for my friend Karen. She was holding Logan as people started to arrive and her sister was holding her son Ross who is just one week younger than Logan.

Logan has started to do a lot more talking and cooing lately. The other day he talked to Tim on the phone for about 5 minutes. Yesterday Logan and I went to a Mommy and Me class and learned how to do a baby massage. Logan also got weighed and is now 10 lbs 10.5 oz. He is getting bigger everyday and likes to kick his legs and swing his arms.

Tim arrived safely in Texas on Saturday. He stopped at the Grand Canyon for a few days and did some hiking. The first day he hiked 9 miles and the second day he did 16 miles. He was sore after all that hiking. Now he is just waiting to see when he will start his next round of classes.

One Month

Logan is one month old today. Here he is sleeping in his favorite spot on my body pillow on the couch. Logan has started smiling more, especially when mom and dad talk to him. He has also discovered his fingers and likes to put them in his mouth when he is able to control where his arms are swinging.

Tim took his speaking test last week, his listening test yesterday and today he has his reading test. We should know by Thursday how he did on all of his tests. As for me, I just hang out with Logan everyday.

Many Faces

Logan is growing more and more every day. He is starting to use his arms more by swinging them when he is mad and occasionally batting at things. This can be a challenge to feed him sometimes because his hands and arms get in the way and this will make him even more frustrated when he can't get food. His is also able to stay awake for longer periods of time and loves to hear music. When some music comes on he will stop what he is doing and pay attention to the music. Logan latest achievement is smiling when Mom or Dad is talking to him and giving a coo every once in a while.
