My Tough Little Guy

so logan and i went to his doctor's appointment on monday. it was his scheduled 2-month appointment when they first try to cram what seems like a dozen or so shots into his poor little legs. having worked with children with autism for the past 9 years, i am incredibly anxious when it comes to any child getting shots, much less my own son. chris and i have asked around, researched, and worried (at least me) about what to do when logan needed them. i decided to split up the shots. so, monday he got 3 instead of 6. next month, he'll get the other two he needed (turns out he already got one of them). it amazes me how many shots these little ones are supposed to have. don't get me wrong, i'm not against children receiving their immunizations at all. i would just like them to not get so many all at once. poor babies. luckily, we found a group of doctors who are supportive of whatever we would like to do. this in and of itself is a blessing since there are many in the medical community who don't understand the greyness of the issue and only see the black and white. ok, so enough rambling on and on. . .

logan weighed in at 13 pounds, 10 ounces. his length was 25 inches. surprisingly though, his weight was in the 75th percentile and his length was in the 95th percentile. he was such a good boy (which i appreciated). he only cried when the nurse stabbed him once in each leg and only for a few seconds. that's my boy! mommy thanks you very much since i was about to ball my eyes out! logan is a very happy and healthy little baby.

Soccer and Sunflowers

this past saturday, the twins next door had a soccer game nearby. chris, logan, and myself decided to check it out. we pulled into the parking lot and who pulled in right before us. . . chris, amanda, and nathan! we all watched the rest of collin and gavin's game and then headed over to the farmer's market in old town temecula. who knew there was a farmer's market?

Splash Park

chris, amanda, and nathan came over the other day to use the key to our pool area here at harveston. logan and i decided to tag along to see the outside world and for mommy to have an adult conversation.

it's really cute for little kids.

Movie Night


logan experienced his very first "movie night" as a member of the fam a couple of weeks ago. for the past year, since my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew moved down to temecula, we have a family tradition we try to do on friday nights. . . . MOVIE NIGHT!!! we all get together and someone gets to pick a movie we all watch that night. that reminds me, i have this week so i better start thinking of a super cool movie to make everyone watch. hee. hee. hmmm. . . maybe the sound of music since my chris has never seen it! just kidding! don't cancel movie night chris cory!

Logan is 2 Months Old!


logan turned 2-months yesterday. i can't believe he is already two-months old. where does the time go? it's amazing to me all that a 2-month old actually does in such a short amount of time. logan is busy cooing and "talking" now. i love that part of my day with him. he smiles everytime (well almost everytime) i say hello to him. it's the best when i go to get him after he wakes up and he smiles once he hears my voice. no, that's the best part of my day with him. he laughs all the time now. he has "conversations" with us and sometimes it feels like he thinks we understand him. so cute. he is simply amazing. happy 2 months little logan! we love you!!!
