Logan Tales: Shots Edition!

Shots are no fun.. I myself hate shots.. Logan must take after his father because this round of shots he literally whimpered during and after the shot in each leg.. BUT we have definitely developed a pattern.. About five hours after shots little man is in PAIN.. Talk about break your heart.. At one point he stopped shrieking looked up at me with those tear stained baby blues and started immediately shrieking again.. I couldn't take it.. I am putting this boy in a bubble because I will NOT have a very hard time dealing with anything that hurts this little man... It also appears that his shots give him a fever that usually starts about 12 hours later.. His is on his third dose of Tylenol since last night to try and keep it down.. Thankfully it hasn't been above 100.5 but I still don't like it.. But I am going to let Logan tell you in his own words how he feels about it... **Some official stats** Weight: 16lbs 9oz (72 percentile) Height: 26 Inches (76 percentile) Head: (Shawn's pretty excited) 16.9cm (68 pecentile!!) **Some other 4 months facts I forgot to share** You are pretty much exclusively in 6 months clothing.. But can still fit in some 3-6... I really hope you stop going up in size because your spring wardrobe is definitely all 6-12 months.. Good thing Nannie and Poppie will be in Florida next month.. That means weekend visits and a hopefully outcome of your spring clothes not being a total waste!! NOW I need to go and give you a surplus of snuggles... I hate the fact of you not feeling good BUT I do love giving myself an excuse of being able to snuggle you 24/7 literally!!

Four Months.. What?!

Four Months old little man FOUR MONTHS!!!.. Where is the time going?!.. You are absolutely the light of our lives (and many other peoples as well!)... This past month was very exciting for you.. You had many "firsts".. You had your first airplane ride.. You did amazing.. I was a little nervous because daddy didn't come with us.. On the way up to New York it was early morning so you basically slept the whole way.. On the way back it was a little bit of a different story.. We had an evening flight and that has come to be your fussy time.. But all in all you were amazing!! You also met your cousins, aunts and uncles on mommy's side for the first time.. Everyone was extremely obsessed with you!! You loved spending time with all of your family but I must say you 100% missed daddy after about two days without him... When we came back the way you looked at him was heart breaking! You could not stop staring, giggling, and smiling at him.. But along with that you did not let your mommy OR daddy out of your sight at all times for about 2 days... While in New York you experienced your first snow!! I only have a picture of you in the car with the snow swirling through the window (sorry).. You had your first Christmas, YOU LOVED IT.. Santa brought you a few gifts because we didn't ask him for much because we didn't think you would really be into it.. Let me tell you what!!.. You studied each package/wrapping paper/present/toy and then would reach for the prize on the inside!! You had your first cold:(.. That really isn't much fun, the nasal saline spray and the nasal aspirator SNOT SUCKER, just isn't a good time!! For the first time ever I had to use diaper rash cream on your tiny hiney!!.. Another first: This is the first time you have finished a Zantac bottle and I haven't had it refilled.. For like two weeks it has been awesome, do you still spit up Yes but for the most part it is not a lot and it doesn't seem to cause you pain.. Now I do have a little fear that you may have to go back on it because the last two days seem to have been rough on your little body and you seem to be back in some pain after a bottle:( You have started the grueling teething process and so far they aren't brutally painful just a little uncomfortable (at least from what I am witnessing).. We are trying to help you with All Natural Teething tablets and a homeopathic gel..

Now for your stats: Weight: 17 pounds even (although we will know exactly on friday) Diapers: Pampers Swaddlers (Daytime): Size 2 Pampers Dry (Night time): Size 3 Bottles: 5 oz every three to four hours Food: Just starting rice cereal at night Sleep: (For the most part) 9:30p.m.-5:00a.m. and then will go back to sleep until we wake you for school Likes: Your Swing, Your new kick and play piano, Your Jumperoo, snuggling with your lovies, Bathy time, Anything with lights or noise, pacis, eating your fists, Teething Tablets, Daddy's beat boxing... Dislikes: The frog on your kick and play mat (You get so mad that you can't get it to your mouth), Not being able to sit up from a lying position, Not being able to stand on your own (slow down little man), The trumpet noise dada makes with his mouth and hands.. You seriously spaz and get so upset when he makes the motion/noise!!, You do not like that fact that Nannie & Poppie are back in the computer and not with you :(, If your hungry you don't know why a bottle is not in your mouth immediately..

We Love you Soooo much and can't even stand the fact that you are growing up so quickly.. We love you with all that we are!!!

Happy 2012...

We can't wait for the new adventures that 2012 will bring us!! Thanks for keeping up with us from learning about baby s to the fun, exciting, new adventures as parents! As we continue to watch our little man grow I know if we blink he is going to be too grown too fast.. Here's to a wonderful 2012!!

Merry First Christmas Logan Richard!!

Almost a year ago to the date we found out you were on board little one... The way Nannie and Poppie found out was from a note on our Christmas tree, it read: Please Join me for my First Christmas in December 2011. I Love You Nannie & Poppie!!.. Well as you will come to know very well Nannie & Poppie can't NEVER say no to their grandbabies!!.. So Nannie & Poppie joined us down here to be a part of your First Christmas!!.. We had so much fun. We fulfilled one of Nannie's Christmas wishes and went to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina.. We all had a great time but were very tired!!... The morning of Christmas you surprised us by being VERY excite about what was going on with packages/paper/gifts!!.. You had a blast.. The following two days Nannie, you & I shopped until we literally dropped while Daddy & Poppie went hunting (no luck!!).. All in all we (as always) had a great memorable time with Nannie & Poppie and you had an AMAZING First Christmas!!.. P.S. In true Nannie fashion a couple of months ago I told Nannie that you were going to ask Santa Claus for a comfy chair with your name on it.. She replied no need because that is what Poppie & I are getting him.. Fabulous.. Where was your chair Christmas morning you may ask?!.. In Nannie's office in NEW YORK!!.. Oh well little one a Christmas celebration with your chair will be had in February:)

Merry Christmas...

From our family to yours:) (This was our Christmas card this year)

Oh Cousinly LOVE!!

A week ago Logan met his cousins on my side for the first time... I don't know who was infatuated wth who more... Them with him or him with them... In true Jenna fashion: "They love Hims so much!!"... That much is 100% clear!!
