Tribute to Frosty
Earlier this morning our pet Frosty passed away, he was around 10-11 years old. Frosty was actually adopted by my brother Justin and his wife Nicole in the Chicago suburbs. After a couple years he became part of my family by moving in with me and Spotty in our Wrigleyville apartment. It was really nice to have a second cat so they could entertain each other, and from day one they got along well.
Frosty was a really good pet and has left a lasting impression on both Loretta and I. He also left us each with a physical impression over the years in the form of a scar. Frosty was a bit infamous for being startled by a loud noise while sitting on your lap or cuddling with you, this would make him jump half way across the room and forget he had rear claws in the process.
Other things we will remember him for are; licking plastic bags, curling up in the bathroom sink, sleeping in an old cracker barrel box, hating the vacuum cleaner, hiding behind the dryer when a stranger was in the house, loving the sound of crumpling up paper, climbing to the top of the refrigerator and then announcing to the house that he was there, retrieving paper balls and playing fetch, being the primary lizard hunter in the family, and of course his most famous, drinking water from the sink.
Frosty (aka. Tubby, Tubby Bear, Big Bear, Big Boy, Tub of Love, Frosty Bear, Fat Ass) was a very loved and valued member of our family and will be missed greatly.
Twitter: Humorous Intro
As I have mentioned in a previous post, I don’t really get the whole twitter popularity thing. Its probably just cooler than I am, or maybe an early example how new technology and innovation is going to be passing me by in my old age.
I came across this video which is a humorous introduction (PG) of what twitter is and how people use it.
New Swing!
Logan got a new swing today!! He enjoys the swing at daycare so much, we figured that it would be a good investment to purchase a working swing for home. On Sunday Wes jumped online and found the Fisher Price – Rainforest Open Top Cradle Swing. This swing is nearly 5 star rated and has 432 customer reviews. We were really impressed with how quick it arrived, with regular shipping the swing arrived on Wednesday!
Wes put the swing together right away and found the instructions very easy to follow. The swing is just awesome. It swings head to toe or side to side. The motor, mobile, and music are all independent controls, so you can have the mobile moving without the swing. The two legged base seems very sturdy, and the swing is very colorful and fun to look at. Even Wrigley wanted to check it out!
I think Logan really likes the new swing. We feel it was a huge upgrade from his previous swing which was drab in color and only had three white non-moving bears for the mobile. The Fisher Price mobile definitely caught his eye and he seems much more comfortable in the chair. He hasn’t tried the side to side motion yet, but I think he’ll like that little variation as well!
A Week of Firsts…
Today Logan is 3 months old (1 month adjusted). Wow, it’s hard to believe how fast time passes by. He’s started to smile more and is making more cooing noises now. When Wes and I weighed him on our scale at home, we estimated his weight to be about 12.5 lbs! He’s definitely growing fast. He won’t have an official weight and height check for another month.
Logan had a very busy week this week, trying to fit in all sorts of new things before he turned 3 months.
Logan started daycare on Tuesday. He eased into it starting his first two days as 1/2 days, with his first full day on Thursday. He spent a long weekend with mommy and daddy because the whole family took Friday off. Logan did great at daycare. He enjoys music, the swing, and the bouncy seat. His caregivers say he is a good baby and sleeps most of the day. On Tuesday, Logan received his first boo boo report. He scratched his right cheek with his finger nails. Since then mommy has been careful to check his nails every day to make sure they are trimmed.
Logan slept through the night for the first time on Thursday night! He slept for 8 hours straight from 9pm to 5am, and then went to sleep for another 2.5 hours after eating. It was a great night for mommy!

Logan at Ruby Tuesdays
On Saturday, Logan went for his first lunch out with mommy and daddy. We all went to Ruby Tuesdays and Logan was an excellent lunch date. He was either sleeping or sitting quietly in his car seat the entire meal. However, by the time we were finished he was eager to leave and let out a cry or two.
On Sunday, Logan went on his first walk with mommy, daddy, and Wrigley around the neighborhood. He enjoyed the time outside and took it as an opportunity to get some extra sleep.
Tomorrow Logan starts his first full week of day care. Hopefully mommy will handle the transition well. Logan doesn’t seem to mind daycare, and is always tuckered out when he gets home at the end of the day from all the fun he is having!
