What am I, a milk machine?

Well as you can tell our second week was alot of feedings! Logan has been latching on like a champ, but we are sure getting tired of feeding 10-12 hours a day. Things are getting better though, so hopefully with time we can get that cut down! He has been sleeping fairly well waking up usually around midnight-one o'clock and again between five and six... Dr. Smith gave me the go ahead to have Logan sleep at least on stint of 5-6 hours without a feeding. We have been trying to get that during the night so we can get a few extra hours, but he continues to wake up every three or so. Someday!!
We have been fortunate within the last week to continue to have alot of visitors. Jodi met us in Pine River at my work for a visit while she was in Little Falls for work and Aaron, Emily and Avery came over from Park Rapids. It has been fun to show our little guy off to everyone.

Last weekend we made a quick trip back to my parents lake place to introduce Logan to Great Grandma Helen and then we headed to Barnesville to meet Great Grandma and Grandpa Heng. He did well for his first night away from home and didn't keep the entire family up, which I was really worried about. Great Grandma Helen said that she didn't mind and could turn the TV up if she heard him crying. I didn't hear any complaints from the Grandparents, they were just tickled to have some more time with him.

While we were visiting in Barnesville, we decided to make a quick trip to Fargo to meet Amy and Ryan baby Gavin. It was super fun to visit and catch up on how things are going with them.

Just a note on Ace and Gaddie. Appears that they are not becoming better friends... Ha!! They are still not certian what is going on with Logan, but they keep on sniffing him. Gaddie has started to check out Logan while I am feeding him and sits right on my lap with him. With time Logan is going to have some great pets! Ace is just having some problems with sleep deprivation too.

We of course has a few first this week with Logan. He had his first bath in his bathtub which resulted in making more of a mess... that pee can sure fly!! (I am sure he is going to love this when he gets older) We tried to videotape, which would have been great, but for some reason it didn't record. John also went back to work this week, which was hard, but not nearly has hard as I had thought. We went on our first walk, which was great! We have been on a few more walks since, but not nearly as far as before. I can't wait until I am fully healed from the c-section to get back out there!

We also decided that it would be good to do a trial run before Logan's baptism. We made it through our first Church service this morning. We were pretty proud even to get out of the house and there on time, let alone getting him through most of the service only needing to change one diaper and leave once for a little crying. He seemed to be pretty interested in the hymns and was mesmerized by all the lights! Hopefully he will do this good during baptism. After Church we had the Felton's over for Grandpa Felton's 76th birthday party.

Anyone that is interested in coming to Logan's baptism is welcome, it will be on September 13th here in Walker. If you plan to make it, let me know so we can get a cabin for you at the resort.
