Had a nice walk

Back home after a nice long walk with Mommy and Lola this evening. :)

Yeah, I'm badass.

Spoon Feeding

We tried spoon feeding rice cereal to Logan for the first time tonight. I caught a couple videos of it -- unfortunately, nothing too exciting. He didn't seem super thrilled about the rice cereal, but let's be honest. Have you TRIED rice cereal? I did. It's super bland and boring. I'm looking forward to giving him some of the more fun stuff soon, that actually has a bit of FLAVOR attached to it!! ;-)

For some reason the first video I took was more grainy than the second, I must not have focused before we started. So, just posting up the second one since it's a bit better and you still get the gist of what happened. ;-)

Enjoy!

New Gadgets

Today feels like Christmas!

My loving husband gave me a super cool birthday-anniversary gift today... the brand spankin' new Canon EOS Rebel XSi SLR Digital Camera! Which is awesome since I've been getting more into photography again, now that Logan is here. :) I've still got to read the manual and figure out all the tricks but look soon for some more great photos of Loganito! (For those who are photography fanatics, here's an in depth review of the camera.)

I also got a new iPhone..... ok, let me explain.

After Logan's "distraction" session last night, I picked up my phone to text Jon and found the top half of my screen wasn't working. I thought OH SHIT STUPID ME. Logan's slobber and drool has killed my phone! I rebooted it several times to no avail. I searched online and found several sites suggested turning the phone off and sealing it in a container full of uncooked rice, which will help pull out any moisture from the phone. So, I went ahead and let it sit in rice all night long.... but, it still wouldn't work this morning.

I started thinking it's possible maybe the drool isn't what killed my phone and it just broke coincidentally at the same time! (it could happen, right?) Because most of the apps I use are at the top of my home page, I couldn't do anything like text, check the calendar, view maps, etc. I also couldn't call Jon because some of the numbers in his phone number are at the top half of the keyboard, and because his name is at the top of my favorites list. Perfect.

So, I visited a Genius this evening and innocently explained "hey my phone's not working all of a sudden" (I forgot to mention the baby drool that might have HAPPENED to also get inside) and voila! they swapped out my old phone with a new one - just like that. yipppee!! (and *whew*)

I've got to reconfigure it to all my old settings and what not, but big deal. I gotta have a phone. And, just to be safe, I won't let Logan drool on this one this time. ;-)

Paternity Leave at its Finest

This was actually taken yesterday when I got home from work, but I forgot to post it.... funny how HAPPY Logan looks and how tired and dazed Daddy looks.

It was the best shot of Daddy I could get -- he's never been one to be photogenic.

Bottles Galore

Ahhh, the joys of having a baby.

I came home early this evening so Daddy and Aunt Catherine could catch Game 5 of the Sharks-Stars Playoffs and found the sink filled with dirty bottles. Daddy hasn't had time to wash any of them and thinks I will, apparently. If I didn't need him so much, he'd be so fired by now. ;-)

Logan was pretty damn tired when I got home -- and had a really hard time knowing what to do. He didn't seem terribly hungry, didn't have a wet diaper, didn't want to play with his toys or sit with Mommy or even walk around the house. I finally found switching between my iPhone and the cats were enough distraction to calm him down before bed. I captured some great shots and thought it's about time to share some recent photos in his album. Click on the pic to the right for more of the "distraction" session. :)

You'll notice he's sitting up most of the time on his own now! You'll also see the favorite famous lower lip jutting out on a couple of the shots - he started wailing the minute I took the iPhone away from him. What a nerd.

I miss my baby

well, today it really hit me how much I miss Logan. :( the rice cereal experiment last night seemed to work well -- he slept quite awhile before waking us up in the middle of the night. But, Jon got him back to bed pretty quickly and then he slept in until 9:30am this morning which is TOTALLY UNHEARD OF!!

I was thrilled to see how late he was sleeping in, but I was also a little sad -- since I didn't get to spend time with him, nurse him, change him, etc. like I usually do. Instead - nada for Mommy this morning. And, because I went to muay thai after work tonight, I only got a couple hours total with him today.

My brilliant realization is that I will now only get a few hours a day during the week to spend with Logan! :( (I know, I'm slow) It's been a bit of a shock to come to this realization, since I've been so used to spending every waking moment with him...I was almost tempted to wake him up this morning just to give him a kiss goodbye before I went off to work.

Don't worry - I didn't. I obeyed the cardinal rule ("Don't wake a sleeping baby"). 'sides, Jon would have killed me. ;-)
