breastfeeding update
With the expectation of being in Aspen for five days in July, I am changing all but three feedings to bottles. It’s not easy because I don’t even like the smell of formula, much less the cost. And the boys have enjoyed not getting sick and growing really well and I have to [...]
schedule
Low and behold, the boys are developing a schedule! Some of it I came up with and some of it I just got from them. Realizing of course that things tend to change very suddenly around here as their needs dictate. So here it is, our 5 1/2 months daily schedule:
wake:
Forest 6:30ish
Logan [...]
Not Yet
The other evening we tried an experiment. What would happen if we un-swaddled Forest for bed and did not give him his pacifier? It wasn’t that bad at first. He cried for about 30 minutes and then went to sleep. However he woke up at about 2 am and spent several [...]
Logan’s photo shoot
In honor of Logan’s good mood this morning and my love of this outfit, we did an at home photo shoot and I uploaded the pictures to the previous two pictures. Enjoy!
Logan
5 months and 2 weeks
Life is amazing right now. The boys eat rice cereal, mushed bananas, and carrots. Logan’s first tooth continues to push through and seems to have started to break through the skin. He can sit (tripod style) by himself for several moments. He’s rolling over on his own and trying to figure [...]
They Grow up so Fast
I can’t believe the boys are just a few weeks away from being 6 months old. They are such amazing little people. Logan no longer needs to be swaddled and *usually* goes down for naps and to bed at night well. It’s so cute, he’ll curl up on to his side and [...]
My First Mother’s Day
Yesterday was my first Mother’s Day as a Mom and it was very special. Early Saturday morning flowers arrived from Logan and Forest (in other words- Brad had them sent before leaving for Peru) with a wonderful card. Saturday afternoon we picked my Mom up from the airport and a mysterious package of [...]
stay at home mom blues
I’m madly in love with my baby boys. But I’m starting to realize how I’ve spent the last fourteen months of my life so submersed in them that I don’t know a whole lot other then them. I haven’t been able to celebrate friend’s birthdays and momentous occasions the way I would have [...]
current developments
Logan is *this* close to rolling over. I help push him over all the way and he’s starting to enjoy being on his tummy more and more. Yesterday he was making pushes with his knees and kinda shoving himself forward. Yesterday he also bent completely forward and proceeded to suck on his big [...]
Sleep
The current situation is definitely a vast improvement from the past few months but we still have more to go. But really it’s all about baby steps right?
Logan now sleeps in his own crib, in his own room for all naps and at night. Sometimes he will cry for 10 minutes [...]
