Logan does...

This is Logan wearing Erics outfit from when he was 9months old. Only Logan is 6/7months in this outfit and busting out of it.



This is a pic of Logan going for a walk with Uncle Jesse & Aunt Jodi...they love him.

At this point Logan has eaten the following things

Cereal
Barley
Oatmeal
Sweet Potatoes
Carrots
Green Beans
Sweet Peas

He has contracted a virus. And was his first pretty bad sickness since he has graced us with his presence. We knew he was sick imediately. When he dont smile something is not right. Long gone are the days when he would scowl...and that was his normal face. Anyway...he got up to close to 103 temp. And I was out of the door. Anyway the doctor said he had the piece of Hand foot and mouth disease. And that it obviously was the mouth part only. He did have some sores in the back of his throat. And I told the doctor that he was horse over the weekend. And that i saw some spots on his face. And he said that was very likely because of this. HE then of course asked if he was in daycare, which yup. But whatever. We were to alternate between motrin and Tylenol to get his fever down. And it worked like a charm. Eric stayed up all night long with him. He let me sleep for a couple hourse before I had to go in to work.

Logan has a new big boy car seat. He now is sporting the Graco MyRide 65. He seems to like it.

He has been copying my mom. She will tilt her head to the side and then he does...and repeat. Its pretty cute

No teeth yet
He sounds like he wants to say dada...but who knows.
He scoots around in a circle like a pro on his tummy that is.

Erics brother got married this past weekend. And Logan had a good time. He was very well behaved. He was passed around non stop...and he handled it like a pro.

Monica and Jerry babysat him for us. I think they enjoyed his company. He was zonked out when we picked him up.

Crawl

Logan took his first move forward on his own last night. August 26, 2010

Me and Eric and Rick and Julie were eating dinner. And I let him play on his tummy. Next thing you know, he is propping himself up on his knees...and he moved forward. So we are in for trouble.

Creepy Crawler

So I noticed over the weekend that Logan is moving like you would not believe. So Aunt Jamie and I tried to prop him up on his knees...and of course he fell on his face. But you can see he is wanting to do something.

Eric had Marcs bachelor party this weekend in Chicago. And the cutest thing happened when he came back. Logan got super excited to see his Daddy. Eric picked him up and he literally wrapped his arms around Erics neck and of course he smothered eric in kisses. He just eats your face really. Super cute. But he was way happy to see Eric.


******************************************************
So Eric and I last (monday August 16th)night put him on the ground. We propped him up and he stayed. Not for an eternity, but long enough to see that he will be crawling very soon. And we even got it all on video. Eric was helping him scootch across the floor. And he is getting it. He even puts himself up on all fours breifly. So we are heading in the right direction. And soon we will not be able to stop him.

my little boy

Thursday August 5th, Logan played with his first truck. We sat on the floor at my parents house. And it was just him and I. And he played with a truck. He was so facinated by it. It was so cute.

6 month errr...7 month well baby visit

August 4, 2010


So yesterday August 4th was Logans 6 month visit with Dr. Josh. Well because Dr. Josh is a rock star in the Peds Universe, we are pretty close to a month behind.

18 pounds (75th percentile)
28.5 inches long (96th Percentile)
Head was 45% that has not changed, and I really dont recall the numbers.

Logan is always happy for Dr. Josh. And everyone that sees him gets so excited. Its pretty cute. Of course until the lady with all the needles shows up. Good times. haha

He just screams his poor little head off. But Eric and I are all prepared. We always have a bottle ready to pop in his mouth when they are all finished. Poor little guy. She really got him good this time.

After his apt we went over to Erics parents for a visit. His mom made us dinner. And Logan got to spend some time in a death trap. Erics mom brought out the METAL high chair that Eric and Marc used when they were kids. Did I say METAL? haha He looked cute in it though. We just better make sure he gets a tetnus. Seriously people thought that was safe?

Erics Dad was at work so we swung by for a hello. And of course Logan was passed out. So he came out to the car to see him.

Then down for bed our little man went.

Sweet Potatoes for my Sweet Pea

August 3, 2010, Logan ate his first real food. He had Sweet Potatoes.

Michelle and I went to IGA in Ovid to get stuff for dinner. While we were passing the baby isle, I had this ah ha moment. I thought Logans Check up with Dr. Josh was to be the following day. So why not try him on some real food.

Now, if you have talked to me, you know I plan to make Logans baby food. And I still plan to do that. But we see the doc onces every other month. So I thought now is as good of time as any. And just because once in a while we have to use store bought food, doesnt mean our lives are over. Look its like you cook dinner and once in a while hit the drive through at McDonalds. See where I am going with this? haha

So anyway, he did very well. His first face was like what in the hell did you put in my mouth. Then he was like hmmm...I can handle this. And he ate one whole tablespoon. What a good boy. Our mess was not too bad if you ask me. And Eric video taped this moment. And I believe I said about 3 minutes in to it something like "okay this is as exciting as it gets". haha So he shut it off.

Family Reunion

So this year was Logans first Salinaz Reunion. The Salinaz side is my Grandma Medinas family. And well we have so much fun during this time. And I couldnt wait to introduce him to family. July 31, 2010!

So that morning we decided to dress Logan in his "formal friday" outfit. Just a little joke. He has a onesie that has a tie on it. And I just happen to put him in it on Fridays. So I mimiked it Formal Fridays.

Anyway...he wore this onesie and some Jean Shorts. Super cute. We pulled in to the park. And because we had so much crap to bring, we let Michelle get Logan out of his seat and take him to the pavillion while Eric and I unloaded the vehicle.

I hear OH MY GOD repeatedly as I am walking to the pavillion. And of course he is being passed around like crazy. And he is just laughing it up. Giving kisses and hugs to everyone and anyone.

I walk up and Aunt Lucy is crying. I said whats the matter? And of course after some prodding, she says that Aunt Joanie said "oh its our miracle baby". They all love Logan very very much. And everyone knows how hard we fought to have him. So it was just a sweet moment. Aunt Lucy is pretty sensitive to these things, so that was her reaction.

Immediately my Godmother Aunt Maggie comes up and asks if this is Logan. To which of course I say yes. And she tells me how beautiful he is. And Aunt Joanie says that besides her grand children that Logan is the most beautiful baby she has ever seen. haha Very sweet. Aunt Maggie and Uncle John are from Texas. And they visited us a couple times while I was pregnant. And Uncle John is a minister. And so they did a prayer for us at my mom and dads house when I was prego with logan. And I am sure they said many more throught my pregnancy, as did many others. To which we are so appreciative of.

Then of course all of my dads aunts begin to tell me how Logan looks just like my Dads Aunt and Uncles baby that passed when he was 1. They said he looks identical. Which was weird and interesting all the same.

All in all it was a great day. The guys went off and played horshoes and softball. And I believe I did not see Eric until 6pm. haha Logan was such a good boy. He just let anyone and everyone take him where they wanted.

He took a nap on aunt Jodi. I have about 2 minutes where I panicked. I couldnt see him, and was like um...where is my baby. But I found them sleeping in a lawn chair. And we had a great time.

After the reunion we all gathered at the bar for dinner. And then Eric and I cut the night short. He had to work on a Sunday. Because there was an oil spill in the Kalamazoo River. Eric has been needed a lot more for his work on maps. So he volunteered to go in on Sunday.

Therefore he would have to miss the golf outing on Sunday. And honestly this was a blessing, as Logan decided he needed me to hold him all night long to sleep. haha But honestly I love looking at his face. So we just had a really lazy Sunday.

Sunday August 1, 2010

Logan got his first bump....My niece Selicia thought he was strong enough to sit up by himself. And she let him go and he fell back and hit his head. I was kind of scared at first. But I didnt want to overreact and scare Selly or Logan. So I think I did well. And he was a little fussy for a minute. And then of course all was good.

We ended the night at Grandmas. Danny cooked some bbq chicken. And then off to sleep for the family.

Good weekend. Pics to come!
