Kind of a sad day...
Today was the last day I could go to Mom and Baby Class. I have really enjoyed it the last five weeks. I always get lots of useful information from the other moms and the facilitator. It was really fun to see all the cute babies every week! Today we heard from some moms that worked out of their home, and ones that were coupon-o-holics! They had some great info on how to save money.
Since I start school next Monday, I will be there during the time the class is. I will be going to school Monday-Friday from 7-3, and Dad will be watching Logan.
I am excited, but very nervous to be leaving Logan so long out of everyday! Oh well.. I need to finish this program!

Monday Already?
This weekend went by very quickly! I'm sure Nick feels the same. Only one more week until I start school. I can hardly believe it's that time already! Logan is two months old today. Where has the time gone? It feels like just yesterday he was born. On the other hand, I can't remember life before him either. He is growing and turning into a real little boy with a very cute personality. He is so smiley when he isn't uncomfortable or hungry!
Last Tuesday, at mom and baby class, he weighed 11 lbs, 5 oz! My guess is that this Tuesday he will be over 12 lbs! He is growing out of some of his newborn onesies too. He's getting so big!!
This weekend we spent with Martha and Doug out at their house. Nick suggested it Friday night, so we spent Friday and Saturday nights out there. Logan was pretty good the whole time we were there. He slept for his longest stretch ever, 4 1/2 hours, Friday night. Woohoo! I'm hoping that will become more of a habit.
Now that we've got his formula straightened out, I'm going to try and get his schedule/routine down. I really want him to get into some good habits, not only for us, but for my dad who will be watching him while I'm at school and Nick is at work. We've been doing pretty well so far when we are at home. I think we might just need to be home for a couple of weeks at bedtime to really get it down.
At 8:30, we either give him a bath or read a couple of books. We give him a bottle and put him down.
That's about as far as we've gotten for something that happens everyday. I'm really working on him not needing to eat more often than 3 hours at a time. If we can stretch his feedings from every 2 hours to every 3, he will probably sleep longer at night.
Well, I better get to bed while he is asleep! Goodnight!
(Oh.. just so I know how many people are reading this.. because I am a curious girl, would everyone mind leaving a comment? Thanks!!)

Busy Week!
Wow. Finally a moment to stop and take a breather! This whole week has been a whirlwind of activities, since Nick's cousin Brian was staying with us. We couldn't have him thinking we were just a bunch of lazy people! (Even though we are most of the time!)
Sunday the 1st, Brian flew in from Southern California, and we all went and stayed the night at Nick's parents house. (Nick, me, Pat, Brian, and Logan.) We stayed up and played the Wii and watched this horrible Mormon movie, The Buttercream Gang.
Monday, Dad came over, and the guys (minus Dad) went boating on the lake while Martha, Dad, Logan and I hung out on the beach. It was kind of chilly, but ended up getting nicer towards the end of the afternoon. When we went back to their house, we had a barbeque! We played some more Wii and then headed home late that night.
Tuesday, Pat had to go to work, so Brian got to hang out with us boring people and the screaming baby! Logan wasn't a very happy camper this week unfortunately. We got Frisco Freeze and just hung out and watched TV.
Wednesday, Pat worked again, so Nick and I took Brian on a scenic tour (after eating at Quizno's!) of Point Defiance Park. We went right at dusk. When we were driving through the 5 mile drive, we saw two fox! We stopped the car and they came right up to us. We also saw tons of raccoons.
Thursday, Nick and I just hung out here while Pat and Brian did some stuff.
Friday, Nick took the day off. They all convinced me to let Martha and Doug take Logan overnight. Wow was that hard!! I missed the little guy so much. While they took him, we 4 went up to Seattle. We did the Duck tour that leaves from right across the EMP. It was a nice ride, although the tourguide was really corny, and not that great. It was awesome when we went out on Lake Washington in the car/boat! After the tour, we all went to Safeco Field to the Mariners/Yankees game. We all thought we would be watching a smackdown of the Mariners, but it was actually a really good game and we WON! 3-1! It was cool.
Saturday morning, Nick and I were both really missing Logan. We had had a great night of sleep for the first time in 7 weeks! We met Nick's parents out at American Lake with their boat. The guys all went boating/wakeboarding/innertubing again while Martha, Logan and I hung out on the beach. It turned into a beautiful day! Logan slept most of the time, and was really happy when he was actually awake.
Yesterday, Sunday, all of Nick's family went to the Puyallup Fair. Nick has a cold/flu thing so he ended up staying home. The fair got really crowded pretty quickly, since it's the first weekend. We had a good time, but I could tell Logan was getting extremely hot and tired.
I guess that's about all we did this week. Now for the Logan update.
He had been on Lactose Free formula, but he was getting really constipated from it (poor guy!). He was struggling so hard and would sit and cry and cry. He was barely sleeping again because his tummy hurt so bad. So we tried the Soy formula that Dr. Alleman gave us. We started it Friday night when he was at Doug and Martha's, so we didn't get to see the first night's results. They said he slept for about three hours at a time though, and was having normal bowel movements, yay! So we've kept him on the soy, and it seems like he is liking that a lot better. We were buying the Target brand, but once again, today it made him really constipated. So I went back and bought the real Similac stuff. It is twice as expensive, but I am pretty sure it will keep him regulated, and pain free and that's all that matters.
I just realized tonight that he is turning into a big boy! I had to take out his neck support in the carseat because his head wasn't fitting in it anymore, and he also grew out of the Gerber Newborn onesies. I have so many of those, I'm going to have to go through all of his clothes soon. I can't believe he's getting so big!
I guess that's it for now. I am going to put a bunch of pictures on here so bear with me!
