Future soccer/basketball/tennis/golf star, Logan Brown, turned 1 month old yesterday.  He celebrated by allowing Momma to get him a tasty ice-cream cake and then watching us eat it.  He further celebrated at midnight with a Poop and Pee during a diaper change by Daddy…he calls it the ‘Fountain Spectacular’.

A lot has happened in a month, but it feels like it has flown by.  He’s a big boy now, over 10 lbs I’m sure, and he’s starting to become more aware of his surroundings.  At times, he’s also getting a bit more cranky during the day and feeding is no longer the solution to every outburst.  I have a list of things I go through to soothe him…with the last resort being the pacifier…but that is starting to move up the list.
Logan and Dad’s special time is from 10:30pm-12:30am.  Momma has done her last feeding and gone to bed to try to get a few consecutive hours of sleep.  Logan sleeps pretty well at this stage and I start to slowly let him wake him up around 11:15pm.  It’s much more fun to wake a baby up than trying to get a fussy one to sleep.  So we have Daddy/Baby bonding and I get to give him the bottle, change him (probably twice), and put him to sleep.  After this he will sometime gives momma another full 3 hours before waking her up…..sometimes.

He had his first outting (other than Hospital) over the weekend, which was a visit to Robert & Julie’s house.  He behaved pretty well and did his best not to poop when someone was holding him.  The other aspect to visiting the Chang’s was a tennis match between Robert & myself.  Unfortunately I lost 7-5 and I think the deciding factor was my 135 unforced errors versus Robert’s 120.  Needless to say we need more practice.  For some strange reason, the loser gets a Hawaii vacation T-shirt and the winner’s wife has to go out and get everyone Korean food….so it was probably a good strategy to lose after all.
