6 months - September 2013

At Logann's 6 month check up she weighed in at 17 lbs 11 oz and 26 1/2 inches tall. This brings her to the 80% for both height and weight. Even though Cody weighed more (19 Lbs) becasue Logann is a girl she is in a higher %.. Craig & I decided to get her ears pierced so instead of waiting til she was older to understand I just did it at this Dr appt. Also I feel better having it done at the office. Poor baby got 4 shots that day then they did her ears. But after the first couple of hours I don't think she even knows they are there and of course she looks super cute.

Just like Cody, Logann got her first tooth poking through the week before her 6 months and just today (a week later) she has the second one coming in. She is a trooper, just a little extra cranky. Lets see how the top 2 do. We have gotten through all the stage one foods and now I have brought a few of the mixed kinds. Last week my Mom started using the baby bullet to make all of Loganns food. It's really cool. You just ahve to boil or steam everything then in it goes. Once we get through what we have froazen we will start mixing the foods. Want to try the already mixed first before we do it ourselves.

Life with Logann & Cody is never dull. Cody is just as crazy as ever but since he started K4 we see a bit of a difference. He seems to be growing up over night. He is listening better (still not great) and wants to help and do things himself. make me just a little sad that my baby really isn't anymore. AND Logann, she is just a joy. I thank god for her everyday. Even when she is cranky, it's not that bad. She's such a good little girl. Can't wait to see them grow up together along with the 2 1/2 yr old cousins.

5 months



At 19 weeks (same week as Cody) Logann rolled over for the first time. She was at my Moms house and I had just walked in and she was on the floor playing. She started to turn so i got down with her and over she went. It was so exciting. I wasn't sure how these first would effect me since i have gone thriugh it all with Cody, but let me tell you, it is just as exciting with logann as it was with Cody.







I'm 5 months old

5 Months brought a bunch of firsts and introductions to new gadgets. First we brought out the jumperoo then the walker. She loves then both, which is good for us. I know she will play for atleast 30-45 mins a pop. Also away went the bumbo and out came the high chair. We can't seem to find the tray yet from the attic, but until she starts feeding herslf we will be fine. The last gadget we introduced was the shopping cart. She's still a bit small for it, but as long as I prop something on each side she's fine and she loves to be able to look and watch everything around her







August 2013 Part 2

August also brought us some visitors. We had Logann's baptism the first weeked of August so Uncle Dom, Hannah, Auntie Lissa and Chloe came down to be part of the ceremony. Uncle Dom and Auntie Lissa are Logann's god parents. Cody and i took almost the week off and what fun we had. Other than the Baptism, we took the kids to Billie Swamp Safari, lots of trips to the pool and a couple trips to the beach. It was an awesome week of not doing much but hang out and have fun

The last week of August also brought us our long awaited family (minus Logann) trip to Mexico. The initial trip was to celebrate Sandi & Dereks 10 year vow renewal, but this also doubled as our yearly family trip and Craig & I's 40th birthday trip. It was just awesome. I really can't complain about anything. There were 28 of us in all 8 being kids so to say Cody had a blast is a complete understatement. It was really nice to get away and spend some real quality time with Craig & Cody and of course my best girls. The reseort was gorgeous, the restaurants were pretty good, and we even took a Pirate excursion. 6 days was definitely not enough, but I am grateful for the time we had...

At Logann's 4th check she weighed 15lbs 12.5 oz and was 25 1/2 inches tall. This is 85% for weight and 75% for length. Wow we have a big girl. Away went the 3-6 month cloths... Hello 6+ month. Also went away was anything with a waist band. Only dresses and rompers for this girl. Also at this appointment Gabriella ok'd us to start with food. We started with rice cereal for a couple weeks, only in the morning. Then we started with the veggies and then onto the fruit as seen above. Logann's first day of pea's did not go so well, she ate them but was not happy, by day 2 she gobbled them up along with everything else. So far there hasn't been a food she hasn't liked. By the end of the month she was eating cereal & fruit for breakfast and cereal and veggies for dinner. Wow my girl is growing so fast















I'm 4 months old

June/July 2013

2 Months

At Logann's 2 month appointment she weighed in @ 11 lbs 6 oz and 22in long. During this time she started to show some signs of having belly/gas issues so I switched her to the fussy belly formula. She was doing good on that for a while.  By now I could catch some smiles, just love when she smiles, her whole face lights up.This month also brought Grampa Elliot down for a visit. I was really nice to have him here again and for him to meet his first granddaughter.
When I was pregnant I was a little nervous about how Cody would react to haveing a sibling, but I couldn't be happier, he really loves her and wants to be around her all the time. Of course there will be some jealousy, but overall I'm very happy with his behavior and his love for his little sister
I was really enjoying my time home with Logann. Partly because she was/is such an easy baby, but also because I think I knew more of what I was doing.  She was still getting up once during the night but closer to 3 or 4am, so I knew she was going to sleep through the night soon. I was a very happy mommy getting 5-6 straight hours of sleep

I'm 2 months old





3 Months

No check up this month, but by now we were fully in the 3-6 & 6 month cloths. Away went the 0-3 & 3 month items. I knew my girl was getting chubbier by the day.



Because I went out 2 weeks early with Logann, I had to go back to work in the middle of June vs. July like I was scheduled. I was sad, but ok with it because my Mom was going to have her full time, and since I can work 1 day from home I worked my first 2 Thursdays @ my Moms house.

This month brought Logann's first plane ride and visit to Massachusetts. I had planned on going home my last week of leave but since I had to go back early I actually went back to work for 1 week then took 1 week of vacation then went back for good. LOL



The girls



4th of July Baby!

First plane ride







By the end of July or her 3rd month she was sleeping fully through the night. At this time we would do bath around 7 then play and book then her evening 6 1/2 oz bubba and off to bed. This is pretty much our nightly routine and Logann has fallen nicely into it.

April/May 2013

2 Weeks -  At Logann's 2 week check-up she weighed 7lbs 6oz. At this point we were still on Enfimil newborn, sleeping around 5 hrs at night and doing just fine with both. We also had our newborn picture done. We got some really cute ones of Cody & Logann but by the time for Logann alone she wasn't having it.



Cody & Logann 10 days old




 4 Weeks -  At this appointment Logann weighed 9lbs 2oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. By now her belly button had fallen off and we were doing tubby time which she didn't like at first. My girl is just like her Mommy and doesn't liek to be cold. So everyday during bath I usually turn the AC off so it's not blowing when we get out. Cody also likes bath time. He usually gets in when I put Logann in then he stays in for a bit. We also had visitors during this time. Auntie Vicky came for a visit as well as Auntie Eileen with Kellen. It was the weekend of the Bark n Bowl and Cody's birthday. Cody was estatic that Kellen was here for his birthday and I was estatic that my girls were here to meet my baby girl.
