Logan at 1 Month

Well here we go again with the "I can't believe it" posts. But seriously! I cannot believe its already been one month since Logan was born! Time has flown by!

This past month has been so much fun! It's had ups and downs of course but for the most part I've been really enjoying being home with Logan and watching him getting to know his big brother. Watching them grow that relationship is amazing. I know it will only get more exciting and interesting as Logan grows older and can respond to Steven more. For right now, Steven is pretty much obsessed with Logan asking to hold him and help us out any chance he gets. He also smashes him in the head accidentally pretty often but we are working on it. (Sorry Logan, hope there's no brain damage).

Speaking of brain damage, this month Logan took his first trip to the ER. I set him on the boppy on the couch and got up to help Steven and Logan must have swung his neck because the next thing I know, he was falling off the couch! Luckily there was a big comforter at the foot of the couch to break his fall. We did have to take him to the ER but they told us everything was fine. That was a scary moment though! Steve was not using his neck this early so I guess we weren't prepared for that!

Other than that excitement we've been pretty much just hanging out with family and friends and doing stuff to keep big brother occupied. Logan went trick or treating for the first time, but he stayed in the Moby the whole time so not sure if that counts! He was a monkey though, which was pretty cute!

Right now Logan's disposition is pretty good. For the most part he only cries if he's hungry or wet or tired. When he's wet as soon as you change his diaper he stops crying, same thing with hungry. Tired is another story. Logan has been a stinker some nights when it comes to getting him to stay asleep. Getting him to go to sleep isn't too horrible but oftentimes he wakes up after 5 minutes and you have to start all over. We busted out the sleep sheep and that seems to be helping some. We also tried the swaddle again and I think that helps too. At first, Logan seemed to hate the swaddle so he slept without it for weeks. In an act of desperation one night, I tried it again and he hated it but after a few minutes feel right asleep. So hopefully that continues to help.

Besides having trouble staying asleep, Logan is a pretty decent sleeper. He usually takes 1 or 2 big naps during the day and sleeps for some good stretches at night. Usually 3 hours at a time but sometimes I've gotten up to 5 hours out of him. So that's a good start!

As far as milestones and development, not too much going on this month. Logan is pretty crazy moving his neck around sometimes and can hold it up for decent stretches so that's something. I've seen tons of smiles in his sleep which is pretty adorable. Only a few waking smiles, but they sure are cute! He has started cooing and making little sighs sometimes.

Steven "sharing" his sword with Logan. This is a big deal bc the swords are pretty much Steven's favorite toys.

So that's what we've been up to for your first month, Logan. Just loving having you around and enjoying life as family of 4.
