How to choose one?

This kid is so funny right now.  Everyone in the family (and out of the family) gets such a kick out of him.  He has the most amazing facial expressions right now.




Ty is a really good talker, people understand him well in general.  However, lately the baby talk has come on in full force.  Logan's arrival was part of the inspiration, but Katarina Kitty Cat from Daniel Tiger was also the inspiration.  Ty says "Meow" a lot.  For example:  "I'm hungry, meow meow" The Meows take on different tones depending on emotion, there is a happy meow, sad meow, angry meow, and an excited meow.  It is pretty funny.

Ty is quick with his feet, he runs all over the place trying to keep up with his older siblings.  He loves being a big brother and is so sweet to baby Logan.  Even when he wasn't sure about him, he has never been anything, but sweet with him (too bad the same can't be said about his behavior towards his other siblings)  Ty loves to wrestle his older siblings and gets pretty rough.  He loves just jumping on and tackling.

Ty really loves his mom and dad although mom is his favorite right now (probably because Ty and mom have been buddies at home for so long).  Ty gets so excited when Dad comes home, running and giving him a big hug.

We sure love you Ty man!!

Early Summer Fun

Dad gets out and plays with the 4 older kids most nights, they love that time.  Tonight, it was baseball, a lot of nights it is soccer, either way, it is a lot of fun!
 Austin making a great throw




Scott loving Logan

Ty gets lots of treats from our next door neighbor, Shannon, she loves him and spoils him!

Baby Logan really seeing Dad

Mom in reality...sleep deprived, rarely ready, but keeping that baby happy!


We got brave one day and walked over to the canal to see all the ducks and feed them.

There were three sets of mothers and baby ducklings.  I loved watching those little moms, looking all regal and protecting their little babies.  They weren't swayed even by the temptation of bread.  We went and visited them a few times.


Kate practicing with neighbor, Kayli for the fun run.

Ty woke up with this, yes it is dried blood!  I couldn't figure out what it was from and was really worried.  It ended up being from that tiny little cut on the left of his ear, just bled a lot!

Scott helping till the garden, dad even let him do a row by himself!?!

Fun with the McIntyres, these kids really love doing pyramids when they get together

He is home!

Here is Logan, first day home!

For about a week postpartum, my feet were so swollen from having the IV for 24 hours



Ty adjusted pretty well, he definitely wanted to try out all of the baby stuff!

Not sure about brother yet though...

Ty spent lots of time with Dad while Mom spent hours and hours (and hours) of time taking care of the baby.  Dad took about a week and half off to help everybody adjust.

Kate ran home everyday to get lots of time with baby brother


Ty starting to think he might be okay...





Where baby and mom spent 8+ hours everyday!


We had a visitor when Logan was about 3 weeks old--family friend, Debbie Trump, it was so fun to see her!




Scott loving on baby brother

This is probably my favorite position, it is so sweet to feel baby snuggled up like this.

First outing!

First trip to the store--about 5 weeks old
sleepy sweet baby


Around 5-6 weeks, Ty decided his little brother was pretty awesome

Lots and lots of kisses, love, and help with baby now!


Logan is such a sweet baby, he sleeps pretty decently, from about 3 weeks old, he started having 6-7 hour stretches during the night.  He does love to take his time eating--typically one hour per feeding (and since he is sleeping so well, mom doesn't want to rock that boat!)  He is very calm and has such a sweet disposition, he doesn't fuss, just cries when he needs something (so when he even starts grunting, we come running).  We love having this sweet little boy in our family.  Starting to adjust.
