Our First Night Out


Friday night we met a group of friends and went out to dinner, it was our first group outing since Logan. We met Eric & Erin with their kids Robert (almost 2) and Bryce (13 weeks), Jeff & Lindsay and Dusty. As we walked into the restaurant with 2 car seats, a toddler and husbands ready to have a good time I started to question what we were doing but it all turned out great! I got a fantastic meal (we went to Basque food - yum) and Logan was a perfect angle sleeping all through dinner. Baby Bryce was not as happy and Erin had to spend most of her time walking with him which made Robert unhappy because his mom was gone! I decided that 2 kids might be too much work for me! AHH! One is hard enough right now. The best part of dinner was that people kept coming up to see the babies and asking if they were twins - oh sure the 18lb Bryce and the 8lb Logan are twins. Jeff had the best comment when people said this - yeah its just like the move twins - Bryce is Arnold and Logan is Danny Divito! So our first night out with a kid was successful!!

Logan's First Play Date


Logan had his first play date with someone other than Chill last Friday! The picture below is his exciting day. We went over to Eric & Erin's house to hang out and the result was cute! Robert (almost 2) was the entertainment and played with the babies while Bryce (13 weeks) and Logan just slept! it was cute! You will notice that Bryce is at least twice as big as Logan - it was weird to hold him after Logan - I can't wait for Logan to get that big and not be so fragile.

A new found respect

So three weeks in to it and this being my first week ALONE! I have a new deep respect for every mom out there! This is by far the toughest thing I have ever done and am only into it three weeks! AHHH! But seriously moms have a tough job - you have to try to figure out what this little Buddha looking guy wants by his grunts and cries. I can't even figure out what I want for myself most of the time let alone some other guy. Take today for example we have been home all day working on stuff at the house (you know dishes, laundry, dirty floors, attempting to take shower) and Logan is MISERABLE - will not stop crying and wants to nurse every 10 minutes. So after a good 2 hours of this I thought I would call Andrew just to let him know how fun my day was going and how big my headache was at this point. Thank God for husbands he just kept telling me it would be alright and to call my mom or his mom - WOW didn't think of that! next call to my mom to which she reminds me that Logan likes loud noises and to go and finally blow dry my hair. Okay at this point I will try anything - Logan loved the noise and relaxed. never would have guessed it! See how mom's know it all - again my new found respect for all moms. You are all awesome! So now I just need a travel blow dryer for Logan - the scary thing is that
I hope he does not grow up to be a hair dresser.

We took this picture last night when Logan was sleeping - i like this look much better then the red faced pissed one I've had all day! I think me looks like Buddha in this picture!

Nascar Here We Come!


This is Logan's first racing outfit and he can't wait to watch races with Dad! and no Grandma Georgia didn't buy this for him his Grammie in Oklahoma did.
