Just the Two of Us, Again!

Here is what is new with Logan this week.

While Matt and I knew that a baby could change our relationship, we did not expect our newborn to break us up before his 4 week birthday. But it happened this week. With Matt's return to work, the muppet noises Logan makes in sleep and while feeding where too much for Matt to sleep through. Matt started to sleep in the guest bedroom. He will start the night with us, but will usually move when Logan and I get up for his early morning (3am or so) feeding. While practical because Matt has to get up and go to work, it was a sad moment for both of us. But, Logan will not be in our room forever (I am not one of those parents) and the weekends come every 5 days so I guess it is a trial separation with an end date in sight.

Logan saw his first snow flakes this past weekend. We had some flurries on Saturday. Matt and I both cannot wait until he is older to play in the snow with him.

Logan saw his first GA win! He was born on the day of the Idaho State game, but we were not watching that day. He slept through the Auburn game, as did the team. But he was awake for the first 3 quarters of the Tech game. How sweet it is to beat Tech and finally be bowl eligible!

Logan developed a blister in the middle of his upper lip. I was afraid it was causing him pain when he ate because once or twice a day he would pull off the breast crying. So, I called the lactation consultant at the hospital. I mentioned he had a blister and before I described where, she described it to me. I found out it is very common in babies who are breastfeed and who eat aggressively (I could have told you that without the presence of a blister). She said it is causing him no pain. I guess she has interviewed newborns on the subject before. She said his occasional crying is due to gas. Oh, my gassy baby. His gassy-ness does seem to be getting better though or I am getting better at relieving his gas.

Logan's blister and all of his chins.  He likes to eat.

Working on that gas.

Logan has developed the ability to follow faces with his eyes. It is really fun to watch him grow and develop each week. While he can now follow our faces, sometimes he still prefers to stare at the light. Matt thinks he is part moth. Logan has been developing his sense of touch also. He loves to stroke the fabric on the couch.
