Rice Cereal

Yesterday Logan had his first meal of something other than just breastmilk. The doctor said we could start Logan on rice cereal and see how that went. After Logan has been on rice cereal for a month then we can start on the veggies. So on August 19th we can start him on the yellow veggies introducing a new one each week. His first time with the cereal was a big deal and everyone says how messy and cute it is so we set up the video camera on the tripod. He spit some of it out but he ate most of and while he made some cute faces it wasn't as messy as I thought it would be. It was cute to watch him make chewing motions. He is growing up so much each day.

4 month Dr. visit

Today Logan visited the doctor for his 4 month appointment. Dr. Katz is a really nice doctor and their office is set up really well. They have a separate entrance for sick kids so that they don't play with the same toys. They also have turtles which is fun. Logan weighed 15 lbs was 25 1/4 inches long. He was in the 85th percentile for weight and 80th for length. Dr. Katz said he was doing well developmentally and that we could start him on rice cereal if we wanted to. Logan then had his second round of shots, which he didn't like but calmed down right afterwards. He is such a good baby. Here is a picture of him playing after his shots, aren't his bandaids cute?

Last night Mike-e and I were hanging out in his office while Logan was trying to go to sleep. Suddenly he started making his frustrated noises so I figured he had gotten his legs caught in the bars of his crib. Mike-e went in his room to check on him and then came back to get me. I went in his room and was surprised to see him on his tummy holding his head up to see us. Apparently he decided he wanted to do tummy time so he rolled over onto his stomach. It was really cute and unexpected.

4 Months Old

Today Logan is four months old. I can't believe how fast time goes by. We went to church today and blessed Logan. Mike-e did a really good job with the blessing. After the blessing, Logan started getting tired so I took him out to the hall and rocked him to sleep. There was a musical number where one of the members sung "I Heard him come". He did a beautiful job with the song. Later we went to my parents house for a barbeque. Mike-e's family came over too and we all visited for awhile. It was a really nice day out, just a little hot.

Happy 4th of July!

Today was Logan's first 4th of July. We had a pretty low key day. We went to the mall so I could try and use the rest of the gift card my mom got me for my birthday. I didn't find anything so we mostly just walked around the mall. I did get Logan some clothes though. Later after his 6:30 feeding we walked down to Sweetwater park to participate in Lone Tree's 4th of July activities. Logan got to see some goats, a llama, and a donkey in the petting zoo. He looked at the animals but I'm not sure how interested he was. I was afraid the llama was going to spit on him and the donkey seemed really interested in Logan's socks. Afterwords we went and found a place on the lawn where we could see the fireworks. It was hard to find a good spot because a lot of people were smoking. Logan played and "danced" to the music (which wasn't that good). Then right before the fireworks were about to start he got cranky and fell asleep in my arms. He slept through all the fireworks that were sent up. Lone Tree caught the field on fire so they had to stop the fireworks early. Even though Logan slept through the fireworks it was a really good night. Logan let me rock him to sleep in my arms. He hasn't let me do that in awhile and it was really nice just to hold him.

Worth it

Tonight Logan was playing in his bouncer and he started to get cranky. I picked him up and told him that we should go change him because he was getting smelly. As I put my arm under his butt to carry him upstairs I suddenly felt something wet and sticky. Low and behold Logan had pooped and it had gotten all over his backside. We had to wash his bouncer cover and I had to give him a bath. The funny thing is that I didn't really mind getting pooped on and I loved giving him his bath so it was totally worth it. He has such a fun time in the tub now days and normally Mike-e gives him his bath during the day, so I miss that interaction. I love that little guy so much.
