Dear Logan,
Four months already! Time flys when
you're having fun and boy, has it been fun! Can I just say that I LOVE
being your mom! And I LOVE getting to stay at home with our little
"Bean-er" Yes, we call you "Bean-er". I can just hear you saying
"Bean-er? What a terrible nickname." Well here's the story: We called
you our little jelly bean once...that went to bean, and then Dad started
calling you "bean-er". It started cute, okay. What it turned into...I
still shake my head at, but it seems to have stuck. What can I say? I
LOVE my little "bean-er"
So you're 4 months old.
Or...20 weeks. Or...technically 10 weeks. Whatever you want to go by.
You're growing so much. At your 4 month check up you weighed in at
11lbs 4oz. We we're pretty excited about that and the doctor was
pleasantly surprised at how well you are doing!
First
off...You sleep like a CHAMP! We'll put you down at 10:30 and you'll
sleep until 7 or 8. In fact last week you slept until 9:30! You're
parents appreciate this more than we can say! We feel incredibly
blessed and we realize we're spoiled beyond belief to have such a good
baby!
A
few weeks ago you started to smile...on purpose. I love it! It feels
like you're finally starting to move out of the newborn phase- ever so
slowly, but it's more than we've seen the last 3 months! And just the
other day I made you giggle! Talk about a mommy pride boost! I was the
first to make you giggle by tickling you. So far tickling you is the
only way to make you giggle. And that little tickle giggle is like
music to my ears! I absolutely LOVE that sound! I can only get your
dad to giggle that way by tickling him too...he hates it. I can't help
it! I do it for the giggle!
I kind of have to work for
the giggle. Your smiles you seem to be a little less stingy on. If
anyone says hi to you and gives you their undivided attention...you'll
give them a smile. And if they go as far to make any sort of noises
with their mouth or tongue...they are your new favorite person! You've
also been introduced to your first friend. Emma Cornelius. You two
don't really care much about each other now. You kind of just compete
for attention currently...but us parents think you're going to one day
be great friends.
You've
started to discover your hands, you stare at them and you're starting
to swat at things. You're recognizing and starting to appreciate toys
now too! Where before we'd show you something with lights and moving
parts and music and you couldn't care less about it, now, however, you
think anything with contrasting colors is pretty cool.
Thus
far you've pee-ed on your dad about 3 times, and you've got me once.
Not including your many tub fountains which don't actually hit me...we
just end up having to drain the tub and start again...which you hate,
because you're cold. You did however pee all over a freshly washed pile
of clothes the other day which I so foolishly left next to the changing
table. (Note to self.) OH, and you got Grandma Bonnie really good
once too. She was changing your poopy diaper and during so you started
to poop some more so she had to catch it with a clean diaper and than
you pee-ed. ...Although that one shot away from her and actually got
all over you instead. hahaha So that one kind of back fired on you.
You
still spit up quite a bit. And usually all over me or your dad. I
change my outfit at least once a day. And still almost always have
goobers all over my shoulder. I need to start adding a change of
clothes for me in your diaper bag! Aren't I a terrible mother for
taking a picture of this and THEN cleaning you up? hahahaha
You
have started loosing all your hair. All that adorable brown hair.
Breaks my heart! I don't know if it's because your head is getting
bigger and bigger all the time and your just growing right out of your
hair or if it's because I always played with it. Regardless, you have
far less hair now than what you came with. So sad.
For your first Halloween we dressed you up as a little pea pod! You
were the cutest little thing, but you hated your hat. So that didn't
last long. We went to your Dad's Halloween work party and you went
trick-or-treating and you were so generous that you gave all your candy
to your dad and mom!...probably the first and last time that that will
happen.
Later
Mom and Dad had a Halloween party that they went to and we didn't know
what to be, mostly because your dad hates dressing up for Halloween, so
we kind of copped out and went as crazy U of U fans. But we mad the
cutest U of U family!
You're
also starting to "talk" to me now. You'll coo at me and make the
sweetest noises that just melt my heart. I'm pretty enamored with you
my little guy. Everything you do. You've made me so happy, and just
when I think I couldn't love you more...you always do something to prove
me wrong.
Forever and Always and No Matter What!
Mom
