Logan Meets Bill Haslam and Impromptu Family Photos

Brian turned the big 3-0 on October 11, and we decided to go to Chattanooga the following weekend to visit some friends.  It was my first time to leave Logan overnight, and my Mom graciously offered to keep him.  They had a great time!  I also made it OK and had a great time with my hubby; although, I only let Brian take me away from Logan for one night :)

Mom and Logan got to meet Bill Haslam (who is running for TN governor) at a Nashville Republican Women event.  My grandfather (Papa, my Mom's father, who is very much a Democrat) insists that my Mom is trying to brainwash Logan by taking him to this Republican event before he is even 4 months old!  However, Brian certainly agrees with my Mom in the political arena and was thrilled she got the following photo.  As for me, I try to stay out of political discussions- especially with family members.  The picture is cute no matter which side of the fence you are on...

When we returned on Sunday, a friend of my Mom's was taking some photos of sweet Logan.  So, of course, Brian and I jumped right in.  Here are some of those photos:

This last picture was not posed--- I think Logan was trying to grab my hair and was hitting me in the face, and this is the picture that happened.  It looks like Logan is happy about whatever is going on!

3 Months Old!

Technically this post is a little late... Logan turned three months old on October 8.  However, since returning to work at the beginning of the month, I have had very little time for blogging!

Logan's next check up will be at 4 months, but we do not have to see a doctor to know our baby boy is growing fast!  We estimate his weight to be approximately 19 pounds and his length at least 27 inches.  He is one tall boy, and he is changing all the time. 

Some of the new developments in Logan's life over the last three months include:

• Grabbing everything in sight- with his favorite items being his Mom's hair and jewelry, toys on his Baby Einstein playmat, and burp cloths
• "Talking" to anyone who will listen, and he is loud!
• Kicking his legs and moving his arms like it is his job
• Smiling a lot- especially when people look him in the eye
• Loving tummy time and working really hard to roll over (although he has not done it yet!)
• Preferring to sit up in your lap rather than be held like a "baby"
• Drooling like crazy, which his Mom thinks is a result of teeth soon to come
• Sleeping for seven straight hours most nights

Logan is such a sweet, happy baby, and we love him so much!  Here are some pictures from Logan's third month:
