Logan Update – New Video!
It’s been a little while since our last Logan video, so I put this one together over the weekend. I hope you enjoy it!
Logan Update – 5 months
Logan has been quite a busy baby over the last month! He is now on his second week of rice cereal and is finally getting the hang of it. Yesterday he finished his bowl (1/2 Tbs cereal + 2 Tbs liquid) and more of it seemed to go in his mouth then on the bib! Next week I will likely add a fruit or vegetable to his diet and see how that goes.
He is continuing to do well at daycare and they are constantly telling us what a big boy he is becoming. He’s staying awake longer now and can hold his head up enough to go in the excersaucer. They have also started to try to give him more time in his crib for naps during the day. It sounds like that is going pretty well. He’s started staying awake for the ride to and from daycare now. During the ride he tries to talk and suck his thumb at the same time, which turns out to sound like humming.
Logan in his Jumperoo
Last weekend we bought Logan the Fisher Price Precious Planet Jumperoo at Walmart. He absolutely loves it. His little feet can barely reach the floor, but he kicks off with his tippy toes and bounces around. He can spin the colored ball in the front and is mesmerized by all the lights and music that are triggered by his movement. He hasn’t figured out how to turn his seat yet, but I imagine that isn’t too far away.
We estimate that Logan is probably about 16.5 lbs now. He’s still sleeping 12-14 hours at night and only takes a couple short naps for us during the day. He has started to find his voice and will occasionally start screaming just for fun. He loves kisses and songs and likes to get carried around on a tour of the house. He enjoys watching his mom cook and has plans to be a good chef one day. His favorite word is “Ooooooo-riginal”, he almost always smiles and laughs when you say it and has even been known to say “oh” after you say it to him. He doesn’t like getting his hair washed or having to wait for food to be prepared.
This weekend we plan to get his photo taken at JC Penny Portaits at the mall near our house. We’ll be sure to post those pics once we get them. I’m still trying to figure out what we will all wear!
Home on the range
Ryan and Dad getting setup
Ryan and his best friend Steve supplied all the weapons and know how. We started off shooting Ryan’s SKS rifle. There must have been something wrong with Ryan’s gun because all of my shots (which were dead center at 50 yards) kept showing up to either the left or high on the target. The SKS was pretty cool because it had a 20 round clip so you could just keep firing one after another.
Steve's AK-47 modeled by Wes
The last rifle we fired was the sniper rifle M91/30 Mosin-Nagant. This is the same weapon that is featured in the movie Enemy at the Gates (great flick!). Ryan has a scope on it which is cool because it was the first time I have ever fired a gun with a scope. This one definitely fired the most true of the bunch, but boy did it have some boom power. After firing each round I would have to move the rifle back a few inches to the left.
We finished up firing Ryan’s S&W M&P 40 compact handgun. This one felt like a little too much for me to handle. Being the first handgun I have ever fired it just felt like it was going to fly out of my hand after each shot. I guess practice makes perfect, because Ryan, Steve, and Dad were able to fire it like a pro.
I have included some cell phone videos we took below. The quality is not that great and you cant really see anything down range, but its still worth a look.
6-week Update
That’s right, today marks 6-weeks postpartum. I am officially 1/2 way done with my 12 week maturity leave!! It’s hard to believe that already 6 weeks has gone by. My oh my has time flown by, but maybe that’s just because I’m so exhausted 
Yesterday I had my follow-up doctors appointment and got the “all-clear” from the doctor. They say I have healed well and am back to normal, except for the few extra pounds I’m still carrying as a souvenir from the pregnancy. Logan also had his “boy appointment” yesterday too. He did fantastic! I was fully expecting to receive a screaming baby when the procedure was done, instead he was SLEEPING! What a champ! Yesterday he was a bit fussy, but all things considered, he was great. Today, he’s basically back to business as usual. It’s hard to believe that something I was dreading so much turned out to be such a non-event.
Logan changing and feeding
Ok, so we are still experimenting with the video production aspects, but here is a quick video of Logan and Mommy doing their circus (several times a day) routine.
