Turn the Page...

(Started this post on June 25th....just not publishing it.)


So I read to my sweet little boy every night before bed. And he really loves this. In fact I think Eric loves it too. haha Anyway, the other night he turned the page. I wasnt sure who would believe me so I did it again last night in front of Eric, and yup..he had to hold the book and turn the page. Can you believe my little genius? haha

I read him the Foot Book by Dr. Seuss. I think Eric loves it when I read this. So weird.

Ray and Stefanies Wedding.....

So my brothers wedding turned out to be a lot of fun. It was seriously the hottest muggiest day for a wedding. And I being the dope that I am, decided to straighten my hair for the occasion. Bad move fuzzy top.

I rushed home got Logan all dolled up in his outfit...oh man he was a cutie.






I took Logan to the ceremony. During the wedding I had Marc take him out in the hall because he was pretty fussy. And of course one of my aunts instantly snatches him out of Marcs arms. And well then from then on he was passed around to total strangers for the rest of the time we were there. He was so good until it was over. Everyone was super loud and just all over the place that I think it scared him. And he started screaming. So I took him and stepped away from all the madness. And then of course he was totally fine and fell instantly asleep.

Eric and I had Jayna(my student worker in the J-School) watch Logan at his parents house in Dewitt. So we made our way over to their place and got him settled. I thought with the music it would be a bad idea to take Logan. And Jayna is so super sweet I knew he would be just fine. So she was officially our first non family non daycare babysitter for Logan. We paid her about 8.50/hour. Boy have times changed. I got paid like $2.00/hour when I was a kid. WOW.

The reception was lots of fun...very pretty










I have a million more pics on my facebook page, you can find them there.

Jayna said Logan was super good. And that he loved the song Poker face. I couldnt stop laughing because that is a song I sing to him just about every night when I am getting him ready for bed. He loves Lady GaGa. We have moved on to Bad Romance. He happens to fall asleep when I sing that too him. So either it is my bad voice, or the lyrics. I havent figured it out yet.

First time in Crib

On June 14th, I finally caved and decided to let Logan sleep in his own crib. This of course was a very thought out process. We got him the Angelcare Monitor. This bad boy does it all. It has a sensor pad that goes under the mattress. This pad sets off an alarm if the baby were to stop breathing. We have tested it by picking him up. And let me just tell you, I will not sleep through that alarm. I has a temperature display. And an alarm will sound if it is too cold or too warm in his room. Is has a million other features, but those were the ones that mattered most to me.

We got him ready for bed quite early that night. And I layed him down in his crib. He now actually looks like he should be in there. Whereas when I placed him in there at about 2 months he looked like a dot compared to the bed.
See Photo below when he was just a little dot:



I did not want him to sleep alone. So I layed a mattress in his room. And I stayed in there with him. However, I begged Eric to join us. I didnt want Logans first night to be by himself. And of course he dont know any different. His eyes were closed the minute we shut the lights off. haha

In the middle of the night I woke up. And oh my God...I was so sore. So I looked at Logan. He was just fine. And I said to Eric "come on lets go to our bed." Forget that. So we grabbed the handset and went to our room. He slept just fine until about 4:30. I got him and fed him. And then put him back down to bed.

I am sure he only woke up because we put him to bed so early. Otherwise he would have been just fine.

So we made it! Another milestone for the Loganator. And it only took 5 months and 4 days. hahah

First time up north!

Memorial weekend 2010 was Logans first Holiday up north. I was super excited to take him. We packed as if we were moving out. But we were not about to be caught without what we needed. We borrowed my Dads Avalanche and it was full.

We brought his tub, swing, pool, bed, a million clothes, stroller. I mean seriously did we need all that? Not so much.

Anyway...Logan had a pretty okay time. The problem was it was super stinking HOT that weekend. We gave him a bath outside on the deck which he loved. He splashed the entire deck and me of course. And he had his first time in his swimming pool. He was super happy about that. The boy loves water. He was super cute. And Julian and Owen swam in there also.

Below is a pic of Logan, Owen and Grandma wearing Logans hat. hahahah



And here is a pic of us around the campfire one night....



The power went out for the first time in my memory that last night we were there. And that was strange. Logan did not like that. He was asleep inside. And Eric and I were at the fire. We had his monitor. And he screemed so loud. So we cuddled him until he went to sleep.

Other than that, it was a pretty chill weekend. Just how we like it. I cant wait for him to grow up and play on the playground.

We attempted to take him for a walk in the stroller. Eric had Julian in a stroller and I had Logan. But nope...Logan was not having it. He through a major fit, and we made it half a block and turned around. Better luck next time!
