Three Men & Me

This morning Logan's babysitter text me a picture of Logan. I love getting to see him and what he is doing in the day, but even more exciting is the fact that he is rolling over on his side to watch Will. Will is only a few months older than Logan so I am sure that now that Logan is more aware of his surroundings he will be VERY interested in Will and what he is doing.

Rolling on his side to get a better look at what is going on!


We took Logan to Applebee's on Friday and the last time we went out for dinner and Logan woke up we had to hold him like a baby, well, this time it was funny to see him sitting up like a big boy at the table. He was fascinated by all the hustle and bustle of the restaurant. He was staring at the waiters and waitresses as they rushed around.

Hmmmm, he is not quite sure about something:)




I am wondering if he is going to start teething soon because, as you can see in the pictures, he constantly has his fingers in his mouth.

I just can't believe how quickly he is changing every day. He is babbling all the time and loves to watch the TV. I know some people say this is bad to let him do, but he always seems to find the TV when it is on. I think it is good for him to watch the bright colors and follow the different shapes on the screen. Some of his faves are The Backyardigans and Wow Wow Wubzy...I am growing quite fond of them too:)

Well, maybe I am psychic. I was just complaining about my nights being bad and Dave's being gravy and guess what...Thurs night= my night= BAD!!! Poor little Logan was so stuffy that his congestion kept waking him up. Now that I am awake and it is day I can sympathize with the little guy, but last night I was feeling pretty sorry for myself. He was waking up almost every hour:( Then, when I had to suction his nose he was getting so pissed...why in the world can't infants blow their own noses?? It would make life so much easier if he could hock a loogie and get it over with:)

He is lucky that he is cute b/c for that small reason I let him get by with it instead of locking him the basement...j/k:):)

We went to the doctor yesterday and it turns out that Logan most likely caught his first cold (from Daddy) and that in turn has created a small or mild ear infection. He has not been fussy, just stuffy so hopefully we caught it in time and the antibiotics will do their job. Speaking of antibiotics, what is up with the pink amoxycillin...half of it ends up on Logan's face and clothes. He is usually not picky when you are giving him something to drink, but he is not too fond of that stuff.

Here are some pics...some old, some new, but ALL adorable:)

I am beginning to think that Logan and Dave are conspiring against me. Dave and I have been taking turns every other night doing the night feeding(s). Well, it just recently became a joke that on Dave's night he is like clockwork, up at 3:30 and then not up again until around 6:30 when I am getting ready for work, but on my night there is no rhyme or reason to anything. The scary thing is that this joke is becoming a reality!! Lately, on my nights Logan will wake up at some random hour like 1:30 or 2:00 and then he wants to get up again at like 5:00 which is before my alarm goes off, but not enough time to really go back to sleep before it does:( NO FAIR!!! All I want is a little sleep, is that too much to ask??? I would not know what to do with 6 consecutive hours!!!

One exciting thing in the last week is that Logan is getting sooo much better at holding his head up while on tummy time. I just can't believe it!! Last night we sat him on his butt and put his hands on his knees and he chilled there for a few seconds until he started slowly falling to one side...TIMBER!!! It is just so funny how these tiny little advancements get us soooo excited!!

He has also been giving us some of the cutest belly laughs!! He has to be in a perfect mood though. The other night while I was rocking him to bed he laughed in his sleep...wonder what he was dreaming about...maybe that photographer;)

Here are a few of Logan's 3 month pictures. He did really good (in the beginning) and I think he might have been flirting with the photographer...he really liked her!!

Logan is three months today. I can't believe it, then again, even though it went by so fast I feel like he has been part of our lives for longer than 3 months. That whole sleeping through the night thing...that must have been some kind of sick joke because I haven't experienced anything like that since my post...maybe I jinxed myself:)

Our little man is going to get his pictures taken tonight and I can't wait to dress him in something other than a sleeper. He has been getting much better at holding his head up, however, I have come to the conclusion that he really has no desire to do so. When we put him on his tummy for a split second it looks like he is actually going to lift his head up, but then he finds he hand and is content to sit there and eat it. He is a lounge lizard. I think his first word might be, "whatever":)

The last two nights Logan has actually slept through the night...that is right, no late night feeding. This is craziness and I am loving it!!! Tues night he went to bed at 10:30 and got up around 5:45 and last night he went to bed at 9:00 and did not get up until 6:15...ALLELUIA!!! I realize that as soon as I get used to this he will start waking up twice in the middle of the night just to keep me on my toes, but it is a step in the right direction!!!

Work has been going good. I have been getting up early enough that after I shower and get ready I have about 30 minutes to hang out with my little guy before I drop him off next door at the babysitters. He is so happy in the morning!!

Here are some pics from my first day back at work that were taken by grandma while they were hanging out...doesn't he look like he misses me:)

Well, here I am back at work on my lunch hour and I have to say it is weird to have an hour all to myself...I don't know what to do:) My mom stayed at home with Logan today so that made the transition back to work pretty easy!! I just tried not to think about it as I headed out the door. I have only teared up a few times today when talking about him. I brought in lots of pictures so that I can look at him all day long. I am so excited to get home and snuggle with him and smother him with kisses!!

Today is Dave's 30th so we are planning on going out to dinner, but we will see how that goes, we might be ordering out so I can stay in with Logan. Thankfully, this is a short week and then I have a three day weekend and another short week...hopefully that helps things.

I just don't want him to forget about me:(
