heartbreaking tears

yesterday, little logan got mad and started crying and real tears started to appear. it literally broke my heart. he didn't have any running down his cheeks or anything, but his eyes were all watery and wet. i am in for it once they actually start streaming...ugh! i would have taken a picture of it, but it was too painful. i am such a sucker. here is a cuter picture instead. look at that pucker.

doctor's visit today

we had our 1 month appointment at the pediatrician today. logan is 11 lbs 6 oz! he is also 23 inches long and his head circumference is 15 3/4 inches. this puts him in the 75% for weight and head, and 90% in length. i think that there is no doubt that he is going to be a big boy. aside from his measurements, he is hitting all his major milestones and appears to be a thriving little guy, which pleases us.

5 weeks old!

grumpus has already started growing out of his clothes! i can't believe it. he is only 5 weeks old and he is already moving into the 3-6 mos clothing size. i was looking at him this morning and noticed how big he is getting, literally overnight. soon, he's going to get too big for me to carry. i must start lifting weights immediately...look how long he has gotten!

happy 4th of july

today, we went on our first soccer outing. we went to a chicago fire game. we fed logan in the car before we went in to avoid any major hungry meltdowns, and then we took turns carrying him in the sling. we tried to leave before the fireworks after the game, but got caught in the parking lot, right next to where they were being set off. chicago is a crazy city on the 4th of july. driving home, you can see fireworks going off everywhere around you. it is very surreal. i am not sure baby logan was able to appreciate them this year, at least, not with his eyes closed...

Nap City !

We got all kinds of sleepin' going on over at this house.
Arlene thought she had me earlier today, but I got her back while she was doing some "synchronized sleeping" with the boy.

having fun with tita grace and tito jay

yesterday, logan had a great time playing with tita grace, tito jay, and cuya miles. they return home today and it will be very sad to see them go.

baby in the mirror

logan loves playing with his mirror. every morning around 9 am, he has some mirror time accompanied by tummy time. he has started cooing and talking to the mirror and i think even smiling and grabbing for the birdy and bug. click on the image for a closer look at that killer smile and a wink!
