I really think she loves him now!

Sweet Logan

Yesterday, our sweet baby boy, Logan, turned 2 months old. I can't believe it's been two months since he joined our family. At his two month appointment he weighed in at 12 lbs. and he was 23 inches long. He's in the 50th percentile for weight and height. Izzy has always been in the 5th percentile for weight, so it's so different to have a meatier baby! The doctor said he is doing great and growing well. For about the last three weeks, Logan has been sleeping 7 to 9 hour stretches at night! It has been wonderful! He catnaps often during the day, but occasionally will take a good long nap. He continues to be a good eater and nurses about every 2 to 2 1/2 hrs during the day. He smiles all the time these days and has been cooing a lot lately. He is such a sweet baby, and I can already see some of his personality. He seems very sensitive, but easygoing. He doesn't cry very much and is pretty content. The days that he really isn't napping well at all he'll stay pretty fussy, but otherwise is a happy baby. Logan has adapted well to being on the go a lot since having an older sibling busy with preschool and playdates. It's so funny how different it is with a second child! With Isabelle I didn't take her out much and let her nap at home often. However, having an energetic 2 year old being cooped up in the house all the time doesn't go over too well! We just put Logan in his carseat and we're off! He will nap off and on while we're out and I'm getting more comfortable with nursing in public, but will often nurse in the car before we go in somewhere. I feel like we are now all pretty well adapted to our new family of four. Isabelle still is clingy and wants to be the baby, but she's getting better. She is also much nicer to Logan now, she really loves him. We are moving into our new house in a week, then I start back to work Oct 6th. Please keep us in your prayers as we make even more adjustments! I'm going to miss being home everyday with my babies. However, I am thankful to be able to return to a job I love full time, but still only working 3 days and having 4 full days off. It's been an awesome two months since you've arrived, I love you so much Logan Jeremy!

30th Birthday, 4th Wedding Anniversary, 1st Day of Preschool

Izzy on her first day of preschool, she wasn't feeling good so this is the best I could get!

Off to our dinner date!

As you can see, September 1st was a big day for us! With so much going on lately, my birthday really sneaked up on me this year! Before I knew it, the day had arrived and I had entered my 30's. Turning 30 had a little bit of a sting to it, but overall I'm excited to see what the next decade will bring. In addition, we celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. It's been quite a four years, but it's been awesome and I'm so thankful for my husband and my family. We started out the day taking Isabelle to her first day of preschool. She was a little under the weather, she had a cold for the last few days so she definitely wasn't herself. She was a little clingy when it was time to drop her off, but overall she did well considering she wasn't feeling well. We really love the school we enrolled her in. It's at a Presbyterian church not far from our house. My niece and nephew both attended there and I was always impressed with the staff, facilities and activities. They learn a lot of fundamental skills as well as learning about God. She didn't tell us much about it when we picked her up, but she seems to like it and her teachers are very nice. I can't believe my baby girl is in preschool :( I'm so proud of her though and I think this will be very good for her.

After picking her up, we came home for lunch. Jeremy, Izzy and Logan gave me a gift certificate to a spa for my birthday! I'm very excited to use it :) Next, I put Izzy down for a nap and headed to the salon to get my hair done. The hairdresser curled it all over after doing my cut and color for my anniversary dinner date with my hubby. It was very relaxing to have a little bit of "me"time and I really enjoyed it. A couple days prior my mom took me shopping for my birthday so I enjoyed that as well. I'm so thankful to my hubby for watching the kids both of those days so I could do special things for my birthday.

When I got home from the salon, Jeremy and I got ready and headed to New York Prime for an amazing anniversary dinner. Jeremy arranged for the table to be decorated with balloons, confetti and a dozen roses welcomed me. We had an awesome meal and really enjoyed ourselves while my parents watched the kids. The following week we went out to dinner with my parents to have a birthday dinner...gotta keep it separate! All in all, it was a great day at our house!
