1 Month

I can't believe Logan is 1 month old already!!! While I was pregnant, 1 week seemed like an eternity (especially at the end!). Now time is just flying by.

Logan has changed so much. He learned how to smile....though he is very, very stingy with the smiles he gives. He gets more and more aware of the world around him every day. He spends hours just looking at his surroundings. He is starting to get his days and nights sorted out (finally!). He still wakes up quite a bit, but he doesn't stay awake for hours at a time like he did at first. He is also changing in appearance. He's losing his newborn look - so sad! I found a really good way to check on his weight. I weigh myself on the Wii Fit and the re-weigh myself holding Logan. Before it even shows me the new weight, it asks "Are you holding something? You've gained 9.3 lbs!" 9.3 lbs works out to be about 9 lbs 5 oz - so he's gained 3 lbs already! At least we know he's eating good!

I tried to get a good 1 month picture, but he really wanted to cry, so this is what we got:

This is Logan at 2 weeks old. Look at the huge change! His face is really filling out.

Bria's new favorite person in the whole world - bar none - is definitely Logan. She want to constantly hug and kiss him. I have to really limit how often she can do it because she is extremely good at waking him up. But, she is a huge help! If I ask her help with anything to do with Logan, she is on it in a second. It's really cute to see how much she's bonded with him.

Max is taking a more slow approach to his new brother. At first he pretty much just ignored him. Now he is taking on a big brother role. I laughed so hard when I saw him trying to teach Logan how to do a thumbs up and say "Cool, dude!" It went something like this:

"Logan, just do this with your thumb and say 'Cool, dude!'" "Logan, look at me. This is what you do." "Logan, come on, it's so easy, just put your thumb up like this."

When I came in the room and told Max that Logan was probably too little to understand how to do it yet, he said "No, mom. I can teach him. Logan, just stand up right here by me and I'll show you."
