November 2007

11/30/07 - Thanksgiving was great. We got to see Landon and Parker and Micheal and Kristy. Logan had a cold for the last week and had to go to the doctor on Monday. I know you won't believe this, but that chunky monkey is a whopping 18.3 lbs now. I know. I know. He's a big boy! It's mostly because we have started him on foods now and he hasn't backed off any of his bottles yet. So far we are eating applesauce, cereal, carrots and green beans. He LOVES to eat from the spoon and sit in his high chair. I also got him a new big boy bathtub. It's a blow up duck bathtub. He loves it. He loves his bath time so I knew he would like the tub. He still isn't sleeping thru the night, he hasn't rolled over and he is working really hard on trying to sit up. We have about a hundred toys and little entertainment things in our living room. It's like its own little playpen area.
Tomorrow we are taking him to have pictures done with Santa so I hope to have some new pictures up soon. Love you all.

11/9/07 - Logan had his 4 month check up today. Everything was great. He is in the 80th percentile on everything...big ole head (17+").....tall boy (26")...and a whopping 16.5 lbs!!! Yes that's right. It is not a typo..we have a sumo wrestler on our hands. I sure hope he starts crawling soon. It's like lifting weights everytime you pick him up. If next time you see me I look like a hunch back, it's from carrying my son and his car seat! His shots were good and he has done really well with them this time so far. No fever and just a little bit of fussiness.
Good news - - We have finally stopped swaddling him at night. He loves it. he is so free. He flaps his arms occasionally, but will usually go right back to sleep. I decided last night that since he wasn't snug in the swaddle that I needed to start putting him in the little sleepers at night for bed. Well all we have are the ones with feet in them (and I have about 20 of them). Well along with a big head......big belly and long legs comes big feet. My plan this weekend is to go thru all of them and cut the feet out so big foot can sleep at night! Ha
We are going to Birmingham next weekend to see all of Ben's relatives for an early Thanksgiving lunch. Most of them have not seen Logan so we are very excited to show off our bundle of joy! Plus we will finally get to see his little cousin Molly! I will update with lots of pictures as soon as I can.
We got moved into the house this past weekend and it is so awesome to be in our own house again. It's going to take forever to get unpacked it seems. A 4 month old doesn't allow much unpacking to go on. Hopefully this weekend I can get a lot of stuff accomplished and find my camera. I will take pics as soon as I can. Love you all!

11/1/07 - Logan had his first Halloween. We got to see the little kids in their costumes and then he was ready to go to bed.

He is growing like a weed. I always follow that up by saying that he is as heavy as a tree trunk. Ha Big boy is getting big. He is now eating ceral and applesauce. We tried some bananas last night and he wasn't quite sure of them.  We may hold off on introducing them. We go back next Friday for his 4 month check up. I am curious to see how much he weighs now. We are still working on getting rid of the middle of the night bottle, but he isn't quite ready to throw it away yet. He is on a pretty good schedule. Eating every 4 hours still.

Like I said in one of the pictures, he still hasn't rolled over. I know he will do it in his own time, but I want him to do a trick already. At this point I think he may sit up before he rolls over. He is getting to be so strong. It's amazing how much he has changed in 4 months.

We are supposed to close on our house tomorrow. Finally I can get his nursery decorated!!!! I can't wait. I will take lots of pictures once we get in the house. It's so pretty!!!!
