Life with a Little One...

I cannot believe its almost been a month! It does seem like he has been here forever - but yet a whole month sounds crazy! We have been dealing with major exhaustion at the Gould household for a couple of days. Who am I kidding - a few weeks! The past couple of days Logan has been awake all night - and today he did not disappoint. He was awake from 10 pm last night until 4 am this morning! And he would doze off for a few minutes then wake back up. He ate so much too - growth spurt maybe? Then this morning he didn't sleep until 11 am - so we are beyond exhausted! I am just not used to this lack of sleep. I hope it will get easier - we'll see. I took a nap for a couple of hours earlier, and now Trey is sleeping before work. My saint of a mother is coming over to watch him tonight and let me sleep - bless her!

This picture it soo precious - Miss Soph watching out for her baby brother. Awwww


He likes to play in his crib - staring at his name. He doesn't sleep in it yet - but I think he is liking it more every day!

We went to dinner to celebrate my Dad's birthday - Grammy and Mr. Logan

Proud Grandaddy and Logan

Happy Parents!

I am using this blog as a memory keeper - so I wanted to record some of the things Logan is doing so I won't forget :)

He loves to eat and is a great eater! He drinks 3-5 oz every 3-5 hours. He does love to sleep too - its just a matter of when. He will sleep a 4-6 hour spurt typically twice a day, but not always at night. He moves and stretches and makes all sorts of noises in his sleep. It is too funny.

He loves having his hands near his face and this can be a problem when he is trying to eat. He knocks the bottle away almost every time. :) He grunts and coos and makes a noise that sounds like a little horse! He is a vocal baby during eating, burping, and sleeping. I always think he is about to wake up - but then he tosses and stretches and goes right back to sleep.

He LOVES his Nap Nanny - this was one of the best gifts and recommendations! (if used properly per the warnings) He does like to spend time in his swing and bouncy seat. He will sleep in his bouncy seat for naps.

He likes his soothies but won't keep them in his mouth for very long. He hasn't grasped the hold onto it concept - also his little hands knock it out of his mouth almost every time.

He hates having his diaper changed and onesies too. He hates bath time right now also. Hopefully he will love it when he gets older. :)

He does great in the car - puts him to sleep every time and he has been so pleasant at restaurants. As long as he isn't dirty and hungry - he is a laid back baby. We haven't heard a serious scream yet either. We are holding our breaths waiting for that to come. He cries during changes and baths - but never the blood curdling scream.

He is such a little joy - precious in every way and definitely worth the lack of sleep. We love our little man!
