One Journey Ends and Another One Begins

Logan has been keeping us quite busy lately. His latest trick to to turn the tv on and off by himself. Sometimes he will change the channel or adjust the volume. Tim doesn't really like it when he does this because Logan thinks it is fun to do while dad is playing a game on the Wii. Something we are working on with Logan is trying to get him to sleep through the night or at least 10 hours without having to get up and feed him. He still wants to get up to eat at 5:00am and then go back to sleep for a couple of hours. I know that I am ready for a full night of rest. But Logan is growing more and more everyday. Leaving behind the baby world and embracing toddlerhood.

Tim and I have been on a journey of our own lately. Tim has been having to do more around the house lately (i.e. cooking, cleaning, and taking care of Logan when he is home). That is mainly because I have been completely useless at these tasks. Okay maybe that is a little harsh. I guess I should tell you the real reason. It is because Tim and I are expecting baby #2 this spring and I am just trying to take care of myself. I have been feeling sick since the 7th of September. Last week Tim took me to the same day emergency clinic because I hadn't kept anything down for over 24 hours. Once they were able to see me, they gave me 1 liter of fluids and some medicine to help with the nausea. The doctor also is having me take some vitamin B6 and that has helped so much. Yeah, I am able to eat again. So now that Tim and I have embarked on this new journey, I will try to keep everyone updated on how things are going.

He did what?

A few days ago, Logan did something that was very strange. Since we let Logan roam most of the house on his own, he likes to go upstairs and stir up some trouble. Usually he will go into his room (the only one he has access to) and get his clean cloth diapers out of their basket and throw them all over his room. Well this paticular day there were no clean diapers in his room, so he went and got one of the dirty ones out. He decided to bring it downstairs to play with. It was only the outside of the diaper so I wasn't too concerned. A little while later that morning, Logan decided that it was time for his morning nap and fell asleep on the floor on top of the dirty diaper. Yes that is correct. The white thing underneath him in the picture is the dirty diaper. I guess I am going to have to keep a closer eye on him so that this doesn't happen again.

Another Year Older

So another year has passed since I entered this world. A lot has changed over the past year. Last year I had a 3 week old baby that I was caring for and getting ready for a move. Now I am settled into a new place and chasing after a 1 year. They grow up so fast. Logan is teaching me so much about patience and understanding. Some days it takes everything I have to keep it together but then you have those days when he is in such a good mood and it seems like he has never done anything wrong. So that wraps up another year and now a new one has begun.

An early bath

Today Logan got a bath earlier than usual. He was supposed to take a bath today but he took his bath at 8:30 am. Normally he takes a bath at night in order to get him relaxed for bed. But this morning Logan was upstairs with Tim while he was taking a shower and apparently he was trying to climb into the tub with Tim. We have taken Logan into the shower with us before but he does not like it. I think it is the water hitting him that he doesn't like. So when Tim was done with his shower, he ran a bath for Logan. Tim then finished getting ready for work in the bathroom and put some shaving cream on Logan's face while he shaved. Logan had a blast in his bath this morning and took a 3 hour nap this morning as a result.

A Little Tired

Today I apparently wasn't watching Logan close enough to see that he was wanting to go down for a nap. I saw him laying on the floor but he likes to do that every once in a while and then he gets up and keeps playing. Well this time he just got comfortable and fell asleep.

Last week Logan had his 1 year well baby check-up. He weighed in at 20 lbs 4 oz and was 29.5 inches long. Tim and I both thought that he would weigh more than that and be a little bit longer since he seemed to be getting bigger to us. Logan now has a total of 7 teeth. He loves to go outdoors and gets mad when someone goes out without him. Tim gave Logan more freedom in the house last weekend by taking down all the baby gates. So now Logan likes to go up and down the stairs by himself and wanders into the kitchen whenever Tim or I walk that direction.

Happy 1st Birthday!!!!!

It was one year ago today that Logan finally came into our world. We are so happy and blessed that he is here. Yesterday we celebrated his birthday with family via web cam and he got a lot of presents. He now likes to run on the couch while Tim and I watch. He is able to get down on his own but still has problems getting up there on his own. Yesterday he was able to get up on the couch by himself but only once. Logan also loves to explore the outdoors. Everytime an outside door opens, he thinks that he is supposed to go outside as well and gets mad if he doesnt't. We now continue to learn and explore with him as he grows up. Happy Birthday Logan.

New Furniture

We got some new bookshelves to put all of our movies and books on. We wanted something that would keep Logan out. We were out shopping at the military furniture store one day and found these bookshelves. There were many benefits to buying them here. First, they are cheaper than regular retail. Second, we don't pay sales tax. Third, there was a sale on them and they were an additional 15% off.

This is a picture of our guest room. So there is a place to stay for anyone who wants to visit us. We do still have the hide-a-bed and our air mattress but this should be more comfortable. The bed is very comfy. I should know because it is Tim & I's old mattress since we got a new mattress for our bed. Tim didn't want to buy a used mattress for the guest room and thought that if we were going to buy a new mattress it should go on our bed.
