First Bath!

After 3 1/2 weeks, Logan's umbilical cord finally came off yesterday! I was so happy, because that meant that he could have a good, soaking, bath! No more sponge baths! Logan loved his first bath. He was very mellow and seemed to enjoy the warm water! Of course, he had a "death grip" on his Daddy's finger throughout the entire bath, but other than that, he seemed comfortable!

Logan meets the Rees cousins!

My brother Ryan, and his family came to meet Logan about a week ago. Jack and Becca were very excited to meet the new baby in the family! (Jack and Becca had just returned from a vacation in Cancun...thus, their very tan faces!) All of the cousins together!

Daddy Time

Since Logan arrived, Randy has been taking Ben for special outings on the weekends---for "Daddy time". Here are some pics from a trip they took to the zoo a couple of weeks ago. The zoo is one of Ben's favorite places to go! Riding on a lion cub!
Crawling through a turtle shell.
Sandboxes never get old!
Looking at the big crocodile!
Picnic Time!

Quiet and Content

I can't seem to get over how different my boys are... Yes, they may look just like each other, but Logan is a much quieter, more content baby than Ben ever was. Here is Logan in one of his favorite positions (besides asleep!)---perched over a shoulder.

Logan: 2 weeks old

I took Logan for his 2 week check-up today with his pediatrician. He is now 9 lbs 4 oz and 21.75 inches long! He is growing like a weed...and I can't believe he is already 2 weeks old! Time has really flown by! Logan is a great baby; he is already sleeping 5-7 hours straight at night for me, before going back to feeding every 3 hours. Like Ben, Logan has reflux--but we were able to catch it early, and he is successfully being treated with medication. He is a very happy baby! Happy baby = Happy momma!

Ben's Playground completed!

This past weekend, Randy and my dad (with Ben's help, of course!) completed the construction of Ben's new playground set. When Ben woke up from his nap it was complete---this first picture perfectly captures Ben's emotions when he went outside for the first time! Sheer joy and excitement!
Climbing the rock wall.

Exploring with his new telescope!

Sliding down...

And falling down...it's a very slippery slide! He loved it! :-)
