This will be rather stupid and uninteresting to many people, but it helps us keep track of what he's eaten and when.

(We were going to start carrots tomorrow but we finished up all our squash today, so we started carrots early.)
So so far he LOVES prunes. And seems to like squash and carrots pretty well also! He's a REALLY good eater! He doesn't mess around, and learned to start "chewing" after like 1 day. And he was opening his mouth for spoonfuls and everything after a day or two. He got it down pretty fast. :-)
He's such a good boy.
I appreciate all comments and advice, but please know that just because this is my first child doesn't mean I'm clueless. We have spoken with my child's doctor about feeding him, and have watched for allergic reactions and everything. My mother also raised 5 children. So I don't need anyone to be giving me an know-it-all attitude, k?
I'd love to hear abvout what you fed your kids, and in what order and all, but don't judge me, because we are doing as my pediatrician advised, k?
I love to share info about my baby with everyone, but one of my friends has gotten snotty anonymous comments when she shared info about her child, and I won't deal with any of that!!
Feel free to comment, but know that there isn't ONE specific right way to raise a child!! And even if there was, YOUR WAY may not be it!!

Latest news and events
Thursday Logan had his 4 month Dr. visit and vaccinations.
17 lbs. 1 ounce
26 1/2 inches long
Yesterday (Saturday 11/22/09) he had his first "food."
Rice cereal for lunch, and then rice cereal with a tiny bit of prunes for dinner. (We put rice cereal in his bottle a couple times when he was younger, and it made him a little constipated. So we are going with the Dr.'s suggestion of prunes first to help keep him 'regular.')
I'm excited for him to try more stuff, but we've got to wait to be sure of allergic reactions first of course. Old guidelines recommend waiting for 4 days. The pediatrician recommended waiting a whole week. We'll see. I'm playing it by what feels right, and by how he seems to be doing on each thing. She also said we can go prunes first to help aid his digestion, then start with yellow veggies going into dark colored veggies, then fruits. So next will be squash, then carrots or sweet potatoes, then green beans, then peas.
Then after all that his fruits; apples, peaches, pears, bananas.
So it's fun and exciting.
He did very well with his first time eating, and made mommy very proud.

I'm such a slacker
I really am.
I realized I hadn't logged in to update in a while, but until I got here I didn't realize it had been over a month since I last wrote. Oops.
It's just me being lazy really. I could get in some quick updates here and there, but I don't. I told myself if I started this I would actually follow through!!
Well, it's a little harder being back at work, but I like my job (for the most part). But I will try to find more time to update more frequently.
So Logan weighed like 14 lbs. 9 oz. at his appt. a few weeks ago, so I'm sure he's over 15 now. And he's 24+ inches. My cute lil chunky big boy he is.
He's been a little fussy lately, but only because he's teething. He is just nonstop drooling and I feel SO bad for the little guy. He's doing great sleeping through the night for the most part, although he likes to go to bed late. So if I get him in bed at like 12:30am or so, he will usually give mommy a break and sleep until 9am. Which is pretty awesome, cause that's when I get up for work anyway since I work at 10am.
It's nice having daddy home on the weekends too. He works a ton of hours during the week, but that frees him up to only have to work Saturday nights. So he's home on Saturday until 4pm, and home all day on Sunday. So he gets up with Logan so I can sleep in, and they watch tv and football and stuff. So cute. Logan loves watching football, it's so weird, you can tell he's definitely watching the tv.
Not a whole to report in other news. All i do is talk about the baby.
Who by the way is now 3 months old today if you're going by months, since he was born 7/11/09, and today is 10/11/09. Or if you're counting in weeks, he was born on a Saturday, so he was 13 weeks yesterday.
We went and got 3 week pictures taken yesterday at Portrait Innovations. They rope you in with this great $9.95 deal for tons of pictures, but that's only one pose. So of course you buiy a few more poses. We got the $9.95 package with like (i forget exactly) a 10x13, 2 8x10's, 4 each of 5x7's and 3x5's and 32 wallets I think? and then we added 3 additional poses with 3 sheets each. And you can mix and match your 3 sheets, you can get 3 sheets of 5x7's or 3 sheets of wallets, or whatever you want. And then we got the additional "bonus feature" or whatever they call it for free, and we did the 8x10 double exposure picture which came out really nice, you get the free cd with all the pics on it, and 6 free "sentiment cards" which can be any design you choose. So we chose a pic and put it in a Halloween frame which was cute. You can also buy extra sheets and all that, but we spent enough haha. Hoenstly though, their prices aren't that bad. I've heard other places are either more expensive, or have shitty backdrops, shitty employees, etc.
I posted the original pictures on Facebook (and will eventually get them on myspace too). And if I get some motivation, I will post the final pictures. The ones on the disk are unedited. So I have to post our final 4 edited poses, the sentiment card, and our double exposure picture. He did really good. Once he got used to it, he was being really silly in his first outfit. By the time we switched outfits he was getting a little cranky. But I can't blame him, poor kids gums were killing him, drool everywhere. There's a couple drooly pictures, but he's got his little tongue out, and it's kinda cute with the drool-I don't care if anyone disagrees. It's like a nice little landmark for 3 mon th pictures with him teething and all.
I'm thinking I might do Christmas cards with him on them, but I don't want to spend a ton of money. It's so hard with a baby cause you want to just spend and spend and spend. Probably a good thing we aren't loaded with money, cause I'd have wayyyyy too much shit! I try to budget my money and only splurge on him every now and then. Everything is so damn cute at this age though, it's hard.
Anyway, I'm going to go try and stay motivated and scan these pictures and upload them now.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Finally a real update
So things have been hectic obviously.
I've gone to update this several times, and always end up changing my mind or writing one and cutting it short. I might have to do that again now depending on Logan. It's 9pm now, and at 9:30 it will have been 4 hours since he ate. He usually eats about every 4 hours during the day. But sometimes it's more or less often.
Well, I believe I updating after I had Logan and told my whole little L/D story and all.
Afterwards it was definitely rough. I was having a lot of pain from the C-Section. Some people I guess do great after, but for me it was very painful, and still is sometimes. I feel more like myself now, but definitely not all the way. Logan has been a pretty great baby. I shouldn't complain even though I do. He's really not to terrible with eating and sleeping and crying. He had basically been on a 4 ounces every 4 hours schedule since we brought him home. Lately, in the last few weeks he eats more though. Anywhere from like 5-7 ounces. And the other day he actually ate 10 ounces!! It was crazy. And sometimes, at night, he can go like 7 hours without eating. Which sounds like I'd be getting a good amount of sleep.....but it isn't. Because he will like east at 10pm, then not fall asleep until 1 or 2 am. Then get up at 5am. So he goes 7 hours without having to eat, but because he won't go to bed, I'm still only getting to bed at 1 or 2am, and only getting a couple hours of sleep. People tell me to have Matt get up with him. And he does sometimes. But he works a lot, so I don't like to make him met up with the baby. If he doesn't work a lot of hours that day, sometimes he will give me a break and get up with Logan. He does try really hard to do his part, and I appreciate it a lot.
It's been so busy lately. Mom and Dad are doing some renovations are the house. Nick and his GF Sarah moved to New Hampshire, it was sad. Sarah got a teaching job out there first, so they signed a lease and got an apartment. And Nick now got a job offer also. So that's great for them. We just all wish it was closer to Ohio.
So they moved there. So the room that was my brother's is now my dad's office, and my brother Randall is moving downstairs to the room that was my dad's office. But all that involved tons of painting, and sheetrock, and spackle, and new lighting, and stuff.
Then 2 weeks ago my dad's uncle came out to visit us and see Logan. So that was a busy weekend. He bought him this adorable little train conductor bear toy. And his amazing play gym/exercise mat thingy. And other stuff too. He's so awesome. And Logan LOVES his bear and his playmat.
And then this past weekend my BFF Danielle and her fiancee Andrew came out from NJ to visit. I'm so glad they did. We don't go back to visit as often anymore, and now with the baby and work and just life in general, I'm not sure when the next trip back will be. So they came out on Friday. They bought Logan all these REALLY adorable clothes. We put one outfit on him, but a few others will need to wait a few weeks. I'm excited though. I love getting pictures of him in all his little outfits. Well anyway, hopefully they had fun. We didn't really go do a whole lot. Mostly just hang out for the most part. We (Danielle, Andrew, Matt, Logan and myself) did Olive Garden for lunch on Saturday. It was neverending pasta bowl. It was a delicious and hysterical time. Danielle has always made me laugh my ass off, and I love Andrew, he's hysterical and they fit together perfectly. It was definitely a good time. And Logan behaved really well too. I was a little nervous about having him out with us for like a lunchdate, because I was worried he'd cry and act up. I originally was going to have mom babysit him, but mom and dad had a meeting with the lawyer they had to go to (about the car accident they were in a year and a half ago, this guy who slammed into them at a red light), and they HAD to do it Saturday, so I was screwed. But it all worked out well.
I pretty much forgot anything else I was going to write about. But that's an update on most of the things that have been going on.

♥Tiff
Grrr....
So I was all set to sit down for a few minutes and write a nice long blog and update everyone on what I've been up to.
But now I got myself all irritated and angry over something dumb, and don't think I have the patience to write a blog at the moment.
Perhaps if I cool down in a few minutes I will change my mind.
Long story short, I'm ticked because someone touched my shit!! I HATE when people take things without asking. Someone "borrowed" (aka stole) my earbuds without asking, which pisses me off to have to try and hunt for them, and also I find really gross. I don't want something I pout in my ear, going into anyone else's ear. I think it's sick. Totally grosses me out.

I promise!!
I promise i'm going to actually update soon.
The last time I started writing, i got interrupted by the baby crying, and never got a chance to come back and finish.
This weekend we have visitors so it's not a good time right now to write a long blog, but maybe Tues. or Weds.
Hope everyone has had a good summer!!

Hmmm...
Clearly I've been terrible about blogging lately.
Although I obviously have a valid excuse.
I'll try to write more short blogs more often.
For a quick update, things are going fairly well.
Logan and I are doing pretty good.
Whoops! GTG.
BBL!
