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...

Let's Go Swimming!

We took Logan for his first swim yesterday!! Daddy and Shawn went out to buy him a sun hat, without female supervision. They did good though...wait until you see the 'dragon' pool hat! He really did seem to enjoy it the water...at first he wasn't so sure though. He cried for a second when we first put him in the water, but only for a second. Overall, the first trip to the pool was a success!

Visitors!

Uncle Shawn arrived yesterday for a visit!
Grandpa Don & Grandma Ana are here as well!


Katherine came to visit Logan yesterday as well! Everyone is having such a great time with Logan! He's such a sweet baby. Everyone always comments on his eyelashes, so we tried to get a better picture today when he was napping on Auntie Lisa's chest. Such gorgeous eyelashes!

Busy Bee

Over the last couple of days we have been keeping busy.
Logan has really enjoyed his bouncy chair!

Logan enjoyed a morning siesta with Mom and Dad :) Plus Auntie Lisa was sitting with the dogs on the bed as well (good thing it is a big bed!)

Best of all...Logan got his first bottle feeding from Daddy!!
Logan's umbilical cord has fallen off, so he was able to get a nice tub bath last night. I don't think he would say it was nice though. He screamed and kicked! He completely splashed all 3 of us with water! He was not a happy kid! But afterward he ate well and then he slept for 5 hours! He was totally pooped out from all that screaming.

Last evening Grandpa Don & Grandma Ana arrived from Chicago. We didn't get any pictures yet, but they were so excited to finally get to see Logan. This is the first Grandbaby, so that's pretty excited. We all went out to dinner and a delicious Bar-b-Que place here in Austin and of course we all ate too much! Logan's Uncle Shawn arrives today, so we're going to have lots of fun over the next few days. Daddy & Uncle Shawn are planning Logan's first trip to the pool. We'll see how that goes :)

Sleepy Boy!

Logan is such a sleepy head! He just may have slept all night...if we had let him! We had to wake him up to eat during the night and this morning! What a good baby! We went out to eat yesterday too and he did great. He slept through the whole meal, and he loves riding in the car. It puts him right to sleep. Here is another little video of him in his bouncy chair from this morning.

1 week old!

It has been a busy week for us, but Logan is 1 week old now! It has gone quickly already! He is doing pretty well sleeping at night, but we had a cranky day a couple of days ago. He wanted to be held all day, and that was all there was to it!

We had our first family outing to Target and he did great! He loves riding in the car and the cart as well. What a good baby! We put him in this super cute outfit before we headed out, but he didn't look too happy about it!

Looks like he'll be happier after he kicks Mommy in the face!

My mom has been hungry for another video of him doing normal baby things, so we took a video of him in his bouncy chair but it is too big to upload and I don't know how to make it smaller! I will try again later...Sorry. He seems to be most alert and content first thing in the morning after he eats. He'll stay awake and not be fussy for about an hour after his morning feeding! Not too bad!

Cutest Baby Ever!

Just another super cute picture of Logan!!

Evening Walk

Last evening we took Logan and the dogs out for a walk. Logan got to ride in his stroller for the first time! Ian took control of Jaska while I walked Annie and Mimi pushed the stroller.

Logan is ready for his walk!


Look at the sweet jiggly chubby cheeks!!

Logan Update

We have had a busy couple of days in the Richardson house!

Using the only newborn outfit that fits...but not looking too happy about it!

Napped with Mommy wearing Uncle Eric's old socks :)

First bath at home! He didn't like the sponge bath, but he looked like he was in heaven when he was getting his hair washed! He was happy (and tired) when it was all done!

After the bath Logan was super tired so he had a little nap with Daddy on the couch.

Today we visited the pediatrician. He did great, until they wanted to take his clothes off! He didn't like that very well! I was out in the waiting room (this is Auntie Lisa) and I could hear him crying! But the doctor says everything looks great! He's gaining weight (but he's still below his birth weight, just gaining from the last weight in the hospital). That is good news though because it means he's getting enough milk from Mommy and he is eating often enough. He's a pretty good sleeper already! During the night he will sleep for 4 hours between feedings. We are planning to go for a walk tonight with the dogs :) Should be fun!
