This pose is for when he doesn't want to do something. Cute, but frustrating! :o)
We went to the Zoo after lunch and he got to ride the train! Mommy and Abby rode on the train, too. Actually, Mommy was busy changing Abby's wet diaper while on the train, haha!
Logan's favorite food is still blueberries. I swear, the kid could eat his weight in blueberries! We started giving him frozen blueberries when he was teething about a year ago, and since then, he has always craved frozen fruit. We'll often find him trying to open the freezer for a fruit treat!
Logan absolutely LOVES his kitchen set. He and Melissa love making me yummy treats. I've found them starting to "feed" Abby pretend food, which is pretty cute. Maybe that'll help her transition to solid foods :o)
This is how Logan chills. Juice, bear slippers, and freshly bathed. Ah, the life!We went with Grandpa Dan and Grandma Laurie to the Elegant Farmer for caramel apples before Halloween. There were some huge rocking horses that Logan loved playing on! Grandpa thought the horses had "handles," but they were actually just stirrups :o) Silly!
Logan doesn't really like to talk as much as most kids. He says a few words, but still uses gibberish quite frequently. He says: mama, dad, chip, puppy, Emma (our cat), blueberry, clock, sock, up, down, more, please, thank you (which is just "e" right now, but he says it as a word), yummy, and a few more that I can't think of right now. He knows lots of animal sounds, including cow, cat, dog, dinosaur, monkey, lion, and tiger. Despite many attempts to teach him otherwise, he still thinks a horse growls...not sure where he got that one! He doesn't repeat what we say. He recently started shouting, "Gabba Gabba" when he wants to watch that awful show. :o)
He's getting much taller and his hair is getting long. Time for a haircut soon, but I love the curls too much to cut them off!
He's a great big brother to Abby. I'll make a post about his own baby and Abby later :o)
All of her baby hair in the picture above has fallen out and she's an adorable little blonde baldie now. Her eyes are still blue. We'll see if they stay blue! Logan's are a bright, icy blue, so maybe she'll get those. Jim's are grey-blue and mine are a greenish blue. Even with all of that blue, she could still get brown!
I am LOVING all of the super-duper cute smiles we get from this gorgeous angel :o)
She sleeps like a champ!!!! Abby goes down at about 10 pm and sleeps until 8 am each morning with no night feedings. She is mighty hungry when she wakes up, but I see no need to wake her up to feed her when she's capable of letting me know when she's hungry. Since she sleeps so well at night, she's not much of a napper during the day. We still don't have a "schedule" for naps for her, but she seems quite content with playing it by ear, so I'm okay with that!
Abby is still a Mommy's girl. We're still nursing, minus one bottle of formula before bed because I don't have enough for her to fill up before sleeping through the night. I'm really proud to hav gone 15 weeks already, since I didn't get any milk that came in with Logan. I am still experiencing a low supply, but am trying to keep it up as long as I can. I gave up on the Fenugreek because I hated the way it made me smell, but I drink a lot of water and eat protein to help boost my supply.
But, you know, babies aren't always quiet. He figured out quite fast that the pacifier was a great way for making the baby quiet! Logan loves helping out, but doesn't always know exactly how to do it...
This was the kids' first bath together. Logan, being the great big brother he is, helped me wash her with a washcloth.
Now that Abby is more than a week old, Logan thinks it's okay to try to pick her up, just like Mommy and Daddy do. She's a little heavier than she looks, Logan!
So now I have to keep an eye on Logan and his little sister... He brought two of his knives from his kitchen playset and put them on her stomach. He then would put them back when she would move and they would fall off. I might watch too many episodes of Forensic Files!!
Abby and her knives from her big brother.
Ready to go home from the hospital in her beautiful dress :o)
To be honest, I don't know what time Logan wakes up in the morning. He gets up silently and plays in his crib. I've watched him on our video monitor several times. First, he plays around with his blankie, sea horse, and prayer boy doll.
This is me -- I'm Ashley, a 24-year-old teacher. I have been teaching 2nd grade for three years now. I really love working with kids, as hard as some days can be! A hobby of mine is scrapbooking.
