miles of smiles!

logan's cousin, miles, just arrived today from H-town with tita grace and tito jay. we are so excited to see them and to see how much miles has grown. soon, we expect the delivery of baby tee in tucson and then we are really going to have some kids to play with.

cradle swing

we borrowed this cradle swing from alistair (i.e. vanessa and mike johnson) and let me tell you, this kid has no chance at staying awake. this thing rocks, check it out...i wonder how long the batteries will last.

happy 1 month birthday!

i just finally got the baby to fall asleep. he has been up most of the night and following morning and martin and i are beginning to look a little rough around the edges. i feel sorry for the little guy, it appears that he has to go number 2 and is having a difficult time with it. hopefully soon, he will learn how to clear out his pipes more easily...

on a happier note, today is logan's first month birthday!!! martin and i stare at him and still can't believe that we made such a beautiful baby boy. for many of you, this picture may look familiar. isn't he just a doll!

thank you lola!

today we spent the day hanging out and shopping with lola. logan has spent most of the day preparing for a major blow out, after which, he stopped grunting and griping and was very amicable. he is also now equipped with enough diapers to get him through the summer. thanks lola!

how could you not just love this sleepy face??? this photo is from the morning when logan wakes up. he is a good sleeper, just like martin and is a little irritable until he fully wakes, which takes a few minutes. again, just like martin.

growing like a weed

so, it's true that you really shouldn't buy too many baby clothes because they grow out of them so fast. last night, we went to put some clothes on logan and realized that they were getting a little snug in the length. i think he may have outgrown his first newborn outfit - at least in the torso length. thankfully, he has some really smart family and friends and he has received a variation of different sizes, but how can this be so fast? are his tiny little newborn hands and feet a thing of the past? he certainly has begun to fill out and we can see it in his belly, arms, and legs. now we understand when people say, "they grow up so quickly..."

this photo is of logan during playtime. he has this mirror with squeaky, rattley, noisey toys attached to it and he is totally mesmerized by it. he is a great baby and hardly cries unless he needs something. when he is awake, alert, and ready to play is the best time to be with him.

calamba reunion picnic

yesterday, we brought logan to his first outdoor picnic. my parents have a reunion picnic with all the people from calamba, philippines that live here every year. he slept most of the time, but i think he had fun.

here is logan with lola andi. she and lolo matthew run the calamba association that hosts the picnic.

grunty grunterson

the baby has some serious grunting issues. we think it is gas, however, we are not completely sure. he is like a grunty old man and as much discomfort that it causes him, it really is cute and funny - except when it causes him to miss sleep and get fussy...
