Much Ado About Everything

Logan is 6 months old today. Can you believe it?! My initial goal was to nurse him up to this point, but I'm having such a good time that I think I'll go longer. The only negative is pumping at work, but it's not that bad. I really enjoy the connection to Logan while nursing, so we'll play it by ear and see when I finally feel like stopping. I had a stomach flu a couple of weeks ago and we did have to supplement formula a little bit at that point. Fortunately, Logan took the formula like a pro and now we know that he will transition just fine. He's such a sweet and easy going little boy; he must have gotten that from his Daddy!


We went to Fort Wayne to celebrate Easter as we do every year and saw Logan's Great-Grandparents. He was a good boy the whole weekend, but decided that he was tired during the Easter buffet at Hall's restaurant. A few of us took turns holding him while we ate. He was amused with a spoon for a bit, but seconds later was screaming. I had to take a picture because I still think that he is the cutest baby when he's screaming. It really amazes me how he can be happy one second and screaming the next. How does his face turn red so quickly?


The weather is, finally, starting to turn nice here. Nathan bought a bike trailer for Logan to ride in and we took it out for a test drive last night. Nathan has decided that he will get a bit of exercise by biking Logan to daycare every morning. He woke up this morning at 6:30 and took Logan after Logan had eaten. The trip was about 45 minutes long and Nathan came home and showered after. I think it's a pretty decent way to get some exercise, but I made Nathan promise that he would take low-traffic roads.

Feet are Yummy

I have been attempting, over and over again, to post a video of Logan eating on this blog and it is not working. That is why I haven't been posting anything frequently.


Logan has been starting to brag his feet to suck on them now. I think it's really cute and look at those big feet!


Nathan turned 30 on March 24th and at dinner, with friends, the restaurant employees sang for Nathan and made him wear this beer mug hat. They, also, took a Polaroid of the occasion. Nathan was not happy. As he saw them approaching he said, "Oh s%$t!" That was funny.

I have a few photos of Logan on his calender below. Unfortunately, he's more than 5 months old, but it will have to do. He's getting more inquisitive everyday and is become a pro at lifting his head and chest when he's on his tummy. It's hard to see the change in length int his new photo because he's cheating and bending his legs.

Here's his response to new foods:
Peas- Yum
Green Beans- Yuck and cries
Sweet Potatoes- OK and talks a lot while eating them

Can You put Your Foot in Your Mouth?

This post will have to catch you up on a lot!

I was changing the 7th poopy diaper of Logan's a week ago Monday and he grabbed his foot and stuck it, sock and all, into his mouth. It was quite cute! That same night we fed Logan pees for the first time and he loved them. I have video of it and will attempt to post that soon. He likes to get them all over and insists on sticking his hands in his mouth. A couple of days ago he was so anxious to get more food that he attempted biting the bowl that Nathan was holding. I think he thought it was a spoon and that he should put it in his mouth.



Nathan turned 30 on March 24th. To help him celebrate our good friends from college came up last weekend. Donald and Liz have an adorable 9 month old girl, Abby. Poor Abby was ignored by Logan for the most part, but she tried to grab his eyes anyway. It was quite funny to see her lean into him and attempt to grab his face. He didn't care a bit.

Logan had a pretty nasty cold and his first ear infection a couple of weeks ago that he is completely through now. It's nice to get back to sleeping through the night. He slept for 10 1/2 hours last night and I had to wake him up. He's a sleeper just like me.

We delve into green beans tonight.

Logan and Tyler are starring at each other below.



Logan has a cold today and I took him to the doctor this morning after our rough night last night. It turns out that he has an ear infection in his right ear. I am assuming that this is the first of many ear infections as Nathan and I both had a number as kids.

I have been keeping an ear on Logan as he has quite the cough right now and has run a low fever this week. He woke up at 3:30 am coughing and could not get back to sleep. I tried feeding him and he ended up hacking most of it back up, so Nathan helped me move him into the Living Room and he slept in his swing for the rest of the night so that he could have his head elevated. I ended up sleeping on the couch with Leo and Clyde alternating who was going to sleep on me. The swing seemed to allow Logan to sleep the rest of the night.

This afternoon Logan fought the cold and infection and rolled over for the first time! He did it 3 times in all and I was so proud of him and clapped when he did it. He grinned real big to let me know that he could do it all along.

His latest thing is to fuss a little bit with his tongue sticking out. You can see his little tongue sticking out in the picture below. He makes me laugh.

Big Grin

I don't know how it's possible, but Logan keep getting happier and happier. He currently likes the view from sitting on Nathan's head. He hates it when we clean out his nose. He loves to look at himself in the mirror and he's just beginning to realize that we have a dog and cat.


Logan is becoming quite the reader.

My Great Uncle Charles' Home

View Larger Map

It's pretty amazing that Google has created a street view that includes the house my Dad's family grew up in from little McCormick South Carolina. Uncle Charles passed away in November 2007 and my Dad now owns the home.
You can shift the view of the home and look across the street to the railroad tracks. You can even turn around 180 degrees and see the street that is names "Williams" after my family.

Logan had his first attempt at eating rice cereal today. Most of the food ended up on his bib, another significant amount under the bib, and maybe he actually ate some. Not too bad for a first try though. He did seem to like the food, opening his mouth and pulling it off the spoon. He just has some trouble keeping the food in his mouth.
