Photo Shoot

One would think with a toddler and a newborn, there would be plenty of adorable pictures of the two together. Well after two attempted photo shoots with my fellas, I have realized getting them both to look on camera as cute as they are in real life, is not an easy task. One that I will be leaving up to the professionals in the future. Here are a couple of the best of the worsts (and believe me, there were plenty to pick from)!

Thank you Aunt Kathleen!

Two weekends ago, my sister, Kathleen pretty much saved my sanity. I can't thank her enough for coming up here to help me with my two boys and Riley. I'm not sure if it was pregnancy brain or lack of a brain with a newborn in the house, but I gave Todd the go ahead to travel to Jamaica for a friend's wedding just three weeks after Logan's arrival. So I was home alone with the boys Thursday and most of Friday (until my savior arrived at around 8:00). While I was dealing with lack of sleep, crying, diapers, and a toddler who needed more attention, I completely regretted my decision to let Todd go (He insisted he would stay behind, but I was the one who kept saying to go...crazy me!), but as soon as my special helper arrived, I knew we were going to survive the weekend and I was glad Todd wasn't going to miss out on such a special day for his friend, Clev. In fact, we more than survived the weekend. We had our first public outing with Logan which was to Target, of course. It was a wonderful visit with "Aunt Kafleen" and I hope she comes up again to hang out! One bonus to letting Todd go on a tropical vacation without me and the kids (on Mother's Day weekend no less) is I should be able to win any discussions about what we want to do for the next several weekends or better yet, months! Plus, I'm planning on a trip with all my friends to St. Lucia for Father's Day weekend. well, not really, but a girl can dream!

Clev and Jen, sorry I missed your awesome wedding weekend! Believe me, wish I could have been there! But can't wait to celebrate with you sometime soon!

One Month

We had Logan's one month appointment today. He only had one shot which he was not a fan of. I'm already dreading his two month appointment where he will get more shots. Logan came into this world at 8 lbs 11 oz and one month later he is weighing in at 11 lbs 5 oz. I'm quite proud of this accomplishment since it seems all I have done for the past thirty days is feed Logan (and change many diapers). He was 20 1/2 inches at birth (although the nurses measuring didn't agree so we aren't too confident that measurement was accurate) and today he is 23 1/4 inches. Logan is in the 95% for height and weight (no big shocker there). Now that Logan is getting bigger I am hopeful that he'll start sleeping more at night!
