Jealous much?

This is Auntie Lisa posting on behalf of the Richardson Family. I have been in Austin this week starting my new job and will be flying back to Chicago in the morning to move down there permanently! I was resting due to a serious headache this evening and Logan fell asleep on my chest. So freakin' cute! Mimi decided to take a picture and well...as you will see Annie was a bit jealous.

All of these pictures were taken within 2 minutes! She was constantly moving to stay between Mimi and Logan. What a silly girl!

4th of July

We went to celebrate Logan's first 4th of July at the neighborhood pool. We actually went on the 5th of July as we were busy and didn't make it out. We both wanted to see Eclipse and we were gonna wait until Lisa got here in 2 weeks for her to watch Logan, but instead I went at 11am and Ian went at 3pm, so our day was basically gone.

Anyway, so we went today and had another fun time in the pool!

1 Month and 5 Years

1 Month

Logan turned 1 month old yesterday, so just like Amanda and Abby I have decided to document each month by sitting him in his glider (like Amanda) with Patches (like Abby) to document his growth. Anyone that doesnt know Patches she is my bear that I stole from Mom about 25 years ago and I take with me wherever I go. Ian has also grown quite close to Patches over the past 10 years and I am sure Logan will form a special bond too.






Just a few things about our little guy:
  • He has a killer pouty lip that will get him far with me
  • He loves to sleep, often times sleeping so long that I decide to wake him up cause I know he must be hungry
  • He has a good set of lungs on him (as I am hearing right now)
  • He has started actually tearing up when he cries now
  • He HATES, I repeat HATES being naked!!!
  • He doesnt like bath time (see above)
  • He has started following things, well, not so much things but voices and faces. I think things will come in the next few days.
  • He loves to be held, thank goodness we have ordered a sling and it should be here anyday!!
  • He is always touching his face and his hair, it calms him. He also likes when I touch his face or rub a blanket on his face. It doesnt always work, but does a lot of the time.
  • He has explosive poops. They really arent too big, but man, are they loud, its sooo funny.
  • He has everyone wrapped around his little finger, than stinker :)
5 Years

Today Ian and I are celebrating our 5 Year wedding anniversary today. We are going to go out to dinner later (nothing too fancy just incase Logan decides to be a poop like he has been all day), but it will be nice anyway, we arent fancy people. Ian really surprised me and got me an awesome gift, he got me Baby Coco!! I saw it in a Sanrio store when we went to San Antonio in February but didnt get it and then I couldnt find it again. Ian did some searching and found it for me, isnt he super cute!! He is big too, I think we will have to get some cute pictures of Logan and Coco together. Ian even got me a card, he is the best!!!



Lots of Logan

I know I am not a good blogger but its tough with a baby in 1 hand, plus I just dont like to update the blog (figured I could be honest and all). Anyway here are some updates and pics of Logan.


Jaska is still his official watch dog. She follows him everywhere, always needing to be in the same room as him and if he cries she has to come and make sure he is ok. He is starting to become a little more aware of her as you can see. Here Jaska had her wish come try and was allowed to give him kisses, however, she was not allowed to kiss him on the face like she tried!!

Logan is a little spoiled and likes to be held, I mean all the time likes to be held. I dont mind it normally, in fact I love it when he falls asleep on my chest and was just chill together during the day, but sometimes I need to actually get some stuff done. Anyway, I was really hoping somebody would get us this super cute and cool swing (thinking he would like it), and his Great Grandma Manning got it for him and it arrived this week. He loves it (sometimes), right now he is swinging away and just looking around, which is great cause he has been a little cranky today.

This is his super cute bouncy seat from Grandpa Dave. We recently got batteries so now it can also vibrate. He uses this more than anything else, but the reason I love this picture is he had just gotten done eating and i put him down in the seat and turned around and he was all sprawled out, I just thought it was too cute.

He sometimes likes tummy time. Usually he likes it but sometimes he just wants nothing to do with it. This of course was not one of those times. But he always ends up all tucked up like this, isnt it cute??

I love this picture because you can see a little smile and his dimples. You only see the dimples when he smiles, I think they are hidden under his chubby cheeks, so time will tell if they become more prominent or if they go away. All I know is while they are here they are freakin adorable!

This was after his 1 month photo shoot, so I think he was done with the pictures at this point. I really want to try and get a good one of me and him but this isnt really a good one of either of us. I will keep trying, but this is it for now...
