An Easy Baby

What a day today!  We had this baby over today that my mom was watching...it really made me grateful for how great Logan is.  This baby was not only a shrieking banshee, he also had a rather impressive fountain of spit up nearly constantly going.  My mom did 2 loads of laundry in a day for this one child...to top it over the shrieking never ceased.  Well, okay it did for the 5 minute nap and minimally with eating.  The decibal the child would reach still sends shivers down my spine.  Haha...while Logan was eating I could swear he took he arm to cover his ear with it....priceless.  Now I've learned Logan barely whimpers to let me know he needs something and basically never spits up.  What have I ever been complaining about.  I can even get him down for his naps in the pack n play.  My mom's "no fair" when laying him down for his nap just settled the deal for me how great I have it.  LOVE love love my boy!!

For news in our lives...we got a piano.  Guess...what did we get?  The ugly piano that plays beautifully OR the gorgeous piano that plays like crap.  You may have guessed it...the second one.  Well, we were happy with our find...afterall who can beat free.  Then my dad went online and found an even better deal for hardly much more money than free.  This piano is beyond gorgeous, the guy simply wanted it off his hands quick for a move.  It has a fun story attached to it as well.  SO...hopefully soon to come are pictures of the beauty.  Oh, I forgot to add my dad let us have a choice between the two which we would want to have move with us.  I am just thrilled to have a real piano that can play.  We just picked up this second one today...I'm still on cloud nine...never thought we'd get a chance like this for a number of years to be piano owners.

No car yet...I'm officially starting my job tomorrow.  I'm excited and yet not excited at all at the same time.  Having these months off of working has been absolutely wonderful, yet I am excited to finally start a real RN job of which I have been working forever towards.

One of the first times in the jumperoo

...he loves it!

Already a couch potato, he gets GLUED to the tv.
He can be somewhat fussy and the light up screen puts him dead silent.

more tv time...waking up from a nap

post tummy time...he rolled over multiple times.

2 Months

We recently went to his 2 month old appointment.  He's essentially average in every way (50% in all categories) which is perfect for him.  He's officially 11lbs 9oz.  It's crazy those 3 shots they get.  I thought I would have no problem with medical things done to my child, but it's actually quite challenging having him get upset about it.  He recovered great, minus the expected fussy-ness the rest of the evening.  

We're gearing up for halloween.  It's fun dressing him up in a bat outfit for "normal" outfits.  Halloween we have a raccoon outfit which is fitting for where we live.  Just the other day Jimmy was driving to work and saw 3 raccoons on the road.  He nearly hit one of them.  With this woodsy scene he'll fit right in...next getting raised by wolves.  Jimmy can be scary enough to him sometime, haha...you'll understand the day we can post one of his videos of Jimmy's way of getting Logan to smile :)

In our lives Jimmy's vehicle has officially taken a full size leap into the grave.  I had a job interview that day that got cancelled last minute, so I thought I'd change my time into checking in on Jimmy's car and getting it tuned up by Jiffy Lube.  Well...as I went to turn it on in the garage it wouldn't start.  The idiot lights came on, but no sound from the engine.  My mom and I pushed it out of the garage...I had to REALLY crank on the shifter to get it in neutral.  We attempted jumping it, but to no avail.  It eventually came down to towing the vehicle and finding the transmission was entirely shot.  We're now on the hunt for a vehicle...although I have my doubts how soon we'll be getting it.  We'll see...hopefully sooner than later with I hope a job starting up soon for me.

Logan is absolutely wonderful and perfect in every way.  He is a great eater and complains very little.  Although he definitely capitolizes on any time with us, but he's hard to resist anyways so life is great!  He just learned to roll over from his stomach to back on September 28th...it seemed a one time deal as he's yet to figure that one out again for a while.  He smile and coos in his play time with us all the time.  We're both excited to see him continue to interact more.  It's just adorable.  My favorite time is his baths still with all his crazy splashing, but also him at dinnertime.  Jimmy just has come home from work and they seem to have a little love fest together.  

Baby Blessing...a while after now that his eye is cleared.
