Calendar Boy

He is two months old and growing like a weed!

Two Months Old

Nathan wrote a little song for Logan to the tune of "Do Your Ears Hang Low?"...

Does your poop spray here?
Does your poop spray there?
Does it fill up your pants?
Does it fly through the air?
Does it smell like sulfur?
Does it look like mustard?
Does your poop spray here?

Decorating Fever

Logan did not help me decorate this Christmas tree, but he is ready for Santa Claus to come.

The Holidays are Here!

It snowed an unbelievable amount overnight the last week. It's so exciting that Winter is almost here and that means Christmas is almost here. I love it.

We traveled to Fort Wayne for Thanksgiving; which was interesting with a 6 week old baby. He was great traveling there ans slept for the 2 hour trip. You can see his Great-Grandfather and Great-Grandmother holding him below. We visited both extended families and he was held by countless people! He seemed to enjoy it until about 9:00pm and then he had had enough and let me know through screaming that he was ready to sleep. On the trip back home he decided that he was ready to be back home and it took us an extra hour to drive back as I fed him twice and changed his diaper 3 times.



A tradition that our family has had for a while is to go to a local tree farm cut down our Christmas tree on Thanksgiving weekend. As usual, it was snowing to celebrate the occasion! We bundled Logan up in a little snow suit, strapped him into his Baby Bjorn, and went on our quest for the perfect tree. Somehow it takes me forever to find one I like. Logan slept the whole time whilst sucking on his pacifier.

Sleeping is Fun!

We had a miracle occur last night and Logan slept for 6 1/2 hours straight! It was so nice to wake up after getting so much sleep. He rewarded us, too, with many smiles during lunch. Nathan grabbed the camera as fast as he could to capture the moment. I know the photo is a little blurry, but the flash seemed to make him stop smiling, so Nathan risked the dark shot.

Nathan has decided that he should make Logan his Christmas present this year out of wood and I can't wait to see the final product. I'll post some pictures of it when he's done. He's going to make a matching mini-ornament too. I did order an ornament for Logan that arrived in the mail today. It's a silver piggy bank with 2008 on it. I figure that if Nathan runs out of time on the ornament, we've got a nice backup.

At the moment Logan is sleeping on me and I feel pretty good about my multi-tasking skills. Oh, I also have a part of dinner cooking in the oven. How 1950's housewife am I?

One Month Old

As you can see, Logan is one month old today. He celebrated by staying up until 5:00 am last night. Because of that Nathan and I decided not to attend church on 4 hours of sleep.


It was Logan's first snow day today, too. We captured some video and photos to remember the occasion. You can see some snowflakes on his carseat.

Santa Claus is Coming...to a sporting store near you!

Nathan and I took Logan to meet Santa for the first time at Bass Pro Shop because they were handing out a free print of the photo session. I was quite impressed with Santa because he had a real beard and looked the part. We dressed Logan in his Christmas outfit and he looked quite cute in it.

Here's an amusing, if messy story for you...
We left Bass Pro Shop and Logan decided that he was upset and I had a guess that he had a wet diaper. We stopped at Taco Bell after much fussing for a "healthy" lunch and I changed Logan and then fed him in the car because he decided he was hungry. At one point he decided to take a little break from eating, but the milk decided that it needed to keep flowing and began to squirt everywhere. I was laughing and everyone was getting drenched, in my car. Nathan grabbed a spit up clothe and every thing was under control except for my laughter. Logan began to eat again, but I couldn't stop laughing because we were both covered in milk. I had milk and tears (from laughter) running on me at the same time. Let me reiterate that this is while I am in Taco Bell's parking lot, immediately facing a Gas Station/ White Castle.


When we got home I saw that Leo had commandeered the nursing pillow. He looks awfully cute on it.
