Three weeks today

Yup, its official, somehow we have managed to keep Logan alive for three weeks now despite feeling like we really don't know what were doing. hehe. Its been an awesome experience to say the least and every day is a new learning experience. Logan is doing well. Sometimes he sleeps almost the entire day and sometimes he cant seem to get enough food in him. Overall, he is a really happy camper though, and generally pretty content to sit in our lap and flail his arms and legs around aimlessly.
Katie has been doing well too. She cant wait get back and workout again. She started back into her studies this week and tries to get as much in between feeding and diaper changes.
This week I am heading on a trip for work. It'll be the first trip since Logan was born and I am hesitant and not really ready to be leaving for such a long time, but at least it's only a couple hour drive in case I need to come back.
In other news, we found tickets to fly back home for the holidays. We're both really looking forward to the family seeing and hanging with Logan for the first time. Katie's mother is the only family Logan has met so far so he's really gonna have to remember some names of cousins and aunts and uncles.
Toulie is coming back with us too. She'll have a blast being back in the snow again.
turkey dinner was great too. We both were in a turkey coma by 5pm last night. We managed to stay up till 11pm last night. Thats about 5 hours more than we have been lately. Our schedule has been pretty much entirely around Logan and when he goes down for the evening we jump at the chance to get some sleep ourselves.
Here is a pic of Logan hanging out in his bopper and sitting on the couch.

Logan's Portraits

Hey everyone,

Well we picked up the portraits today and wanted to share some of the pics with everyone. Although he wasn't the most cooperative, like his old man with photos, he calmed down the later half for some that turned out really nice. Not sure if we are going to get separate ones made up for the holidays, but regardless here are some of our favorites.
We'll probably have some more pics tomorrow for thanksgiving too so stay tuned....

My little sleepy monster

some pics of today!!!

2 Weeks

So another week has come and gone. Logan is now two weeks old and growing. The dr saw him for his two week appt and he needed to gain 8oz in 8 days. Well, KT won the "how much will he weigh?" bet. He is now 6lbs 11oz. For a minute there he was 6lbs 12oz but after we removed his wet diaper he dropped an ounce. My guess was 6lbs 9oz; both of us believed in Logan that he could exceed the expectations of the Dr and sure enough he did. Gotta be from my side of the family eh? haha just kidding...
I'm on my last week of work this week too. Bummer. At least next week is a short week with Thanksgiving.
After that though I will be gone for the week down at Fort Hunter Liggett helping out on some upgrades and spin-up training...
Yikes.
Katie is doing pretty well though. She's coming down with a cold right now which sucks, but hopefully she'll be over it soon with my super awesome hot chocolate...
Today is rainy and cold. I think its the first big winter storm of the year. Supposed to be up to a foot of snow in the mountains... yay!!!

We have been slipping a bit lately with taking more pics, so will get some new ones on the blog asap. Until then check back often

Logan's first week

Hello all,

Well one week ago, Kt and I were just getting settled into parenthood at El Camino Hospital. Its been an incredible week for the two of us and one we will cherish.
For myself, one of the highlights of my day is spending time watching Logan wake up. He's sooo dramatic in his facial expressions and the way he moves his arms. It makes me laugh every time I see him try to cover his eyes and tuck his his arms and legs into my warm body as he gets uncovered from his cozy blankets. Eventually a big yawn works its way out as he stretches his little arms over his head. He's all about snuggling too. The minute you pick him up he rolls into you trying to curl his scrawny, lanky legs underneath himself. Also, when I burp him he likes to get his head right underneath my chin and try to lift his head up to see me. Eventually he just rests his head right underneath my collarbone.
His little body blows me away too. I can cradle his whole butt in my one hand when I hold him, and when he lays down his whole body will fit on my forearm and hand.
So, needless to say I can't wait to spend all day with him this week. After that I go back to work, but luckily it should be a short week since its Thanksgiving week.

Katie is doing well too. She's already getting anxious to get back in the climbing gym and start working out again. The weather is changing and the temps are now in the high 50's and low 60"s so its perfect to get a workout in in the afternoon and you don't have to wake up early since it doesn't really get too hot anymore.

In other news, Toulie is doing better too. She is getting better everyday and is slowly becoming her rambunctious self again. Before long she will be back to bugging Katie and I all day long to play Frisbee and ball. As for now though, she is still trying to adapt with Logan in the house and her not being the center of attention anymore. She's coping pretty well though and is extremely curious of him. I think they will be best buds as soon as Logan learns how to share his food from a high chair.

We have also sincerely enjoyed skyping with our families and friends this week too. It makes living away that much easier. I know it's definitely not the same as seeing or holding him in person, but watching him wiggle is always an excellent source of our new entertainment.

Anyway, here are some pics. Enjoy!!!

some quick pics!!!
