More Logan...

These pictures were taken when Logan was about 3 weeks old. As you can see he hasn't missed a meal.No. He's not always happy.This is what happens when he forgets to keep that thing in his mouth and no matter how hard he tries he can never get it back in.These are the most recent pictures taken within the past week so here he's about 4 weeks old.We decided he needed his little sneakers on to go to the store. Here's a little father son bonding. Scott decided he and Logan needed to watch the NBA playoffs together. He's convinced Logan is already into sports.
After getting peed on every time I fed him and washing his sheets a few times this past week I determined Logan has officially graduated from newborn diapers and is now in size 1's. I have to say I didn't want to admit that he was already growing that fast.

Nana is Here

When Logan was 10 days old my mom came in town from Oklahoma. It worked out perfectly because she got here just 2 days after he was released from the hospital the second time. It was great having her here to help me with the cooking, cleaning, laundry and anything else I needed help with but what she really came here for was to just spoil her little grandbaby rotten, or "meeting his needs well" as she would say. Of course ever since she found out I was pregnant she's been looking forward to doing just that and has been updating everyone on his growth since he was just a little bean...including her 3rd grade class and all the teachers she works with. After Logan was born she had a little party and brought blue cookies in so they could all celebrate. Apparently even the other teachers consider Logan an addition to their family. Needless to say, she's a very proud grandma. We got to spend Mother's Day togther and had a lot of fun just hanging out. Toward the end of her stay, every time we talked about her going home she got all teary-eyed. We were pretty sad to see her go too. We just need to get grandpa out here now. The good news is this little guy has gotten my parents talking about buying a house and moving out here someday. I haven't been able to presuade them to move out here on my own but I knew once there were grandchildren involved they just wouldn't be able to resist.Scott and I had our 2 year anniversary on May 19 so while my mom was here she watched Logan and gave us a night out. These are just some pictures we took during the time my mom was here. Logan was between 10 and 20 days old in these pictures.

All this talk about my mom being such a proud grandma I have to say we're pretty proud parents as well. We literally could just watch him for hours and never get tired of it.

Scrub a dub dub...

Here is one of Logan's very first baths. He's not a fan of being wet, cold, naked or clean so bath time is not his favorite. This is Logan in his little robe after a bath we gave him this weekend. He's 4 weeks in these pictures. Look how much he's grown.

Logan Kyler Bair

Against everyone's will we decided to keep the name a secret even though we were bribed and threatened by our family and friends to at least give them a hint. We really only had his first name picked out and it wasn't until the night before he was born that we actualy decided on his middle name. I think we'll probably take that route with our future children as well. We ended up having to stay at the hospital an extra day because Logan was jaundiced. We came home on Saturday but had to go back to the hospital on Monday and stayed until Wednesday. The poor little guy had a lot of "cooking" to do under the lamps. We were just so glad to finally get him home for good. I knew Logan had personality before he ever came out but it became more apparent once he was actually born. He loves to "mark his territory." Right after he was born, he peed all over the nurse and since then has peed on almost every spot in our house, his own face, and of course Scott and I get it almost daily. He was kind of a dream baby the first couple weeks. He was eating and sleeping really well and when he was awake he was just a little angel. At nine days I was taking pictures of all his little smiley faces and it was like he was loving every minute of his little photo shoot. We had been reading a book called "Babywise" and planning how we were going to get him on a schedule and get him to start sleeping through the night and everything was looking really good so far. Scott and I are completely clueless about what we're doing so it's all been quite the learning experience for both of us. Anyway, the book seemed so clear on what to do and we were certain that if we followed the instructions everything would fall into place. Well at two and a half weeks he became a different baby and he wasn't being cooperative or following any intructions. Now he's really cranky at times, is very inconsistent with eating, and never wants to go to sleep even though he's completely exhuasted. He keeps me up at night, of course, and makes me really work hard at everything from getting him to eat and sleep to dressing and burping him. We've almost thrown out the "Babywise" book so if anyone has gotten this to work for them please let me know your secret cause we're already behind on his progress toward our goal of sleeping all night. Anyways, one thing that hasn't changed since birth is his terrifying scream/cry when we change his diaper. I don't know if he'll ever get used to it. All I have to say is it's a good thing he's so dang cute or I might be tempted to just send him back. We do have some really good, calm, happy times but we're much more grateful for them than we were the first 2 weeks.

Our very first family photoTime to finally go home...

Our first couple days home...Little did we know we'd be right back in the hospital on Monday. Poor little guy.

So after we finally got to come home for good I decided to do a little photo shoot. This is Logan at 9 days old. He has quite a personality.
