2 weeks

Yesterday Logan was 2 weeks old. It seems like it has been so much longer than that already. I dont know if it is because Logan is so big or because things have been so chaotic around here. I feel so frazzled like I have no rhyme or reason to each day. I am hoping to start getting a better handle on things so I feel a little more in control. Luckily, I have had visits from my family that have really helped me to feel more like myself. I remember telling a few people before Logan was born that I just couldnt believe having 2 kids would be that much different than having one, well, I am definitely eating my words now. I had forgotten how much work newborns are!!!!

I was worried that since Stockton has always been such a good baby, that the second one was going to come out a terror child. Logan has proved me wrong so far. He is such a good, easy-going baby. He never cries unless he is hungry (he LOVES to eat!!) and when he is awake is so content just looking around the room. He already seems so much older than 2 weeks, he just seems so aware of everything around him. He will follow my voice with his eyes and head until he finds me and then will just stare at me. He is so much bigger than Stockton was at this point. He has already out grown alot of his newborn clothes and weights almost as much as Stockton did at 2 months. He isnt really fat, just...i dont know....solid. He does have an adorable double chin and chubby little cheeks though. It is hard to believe such a big baby was living inside of me. I guess that explains the stretch marks that I didnt get with little Stockton. :) I just love this picture because it is such a relief to see such a perfectly shaped head. Everyday I am so grateful so a perfectly rounded head instead of a mishaped one like Stockton's. He loves his bathtime. He just relaxes everytime we put him in the water.
Big yawns!!!
Just hangin out.... ...until his big brother spots him on the floor.... ...anytime he can, Stockton loves to lay down, tummy to tummy, and "talk" to him and give him kisses. It is so sweet, but a little scary that he is going to squish him. Logan doesnt seem to mind too much. Stockton hasnt seemed to mind being negleted too much. I do feel bad that I dont get to spend as much one on one time with him as I used to. I miss him. :( I dont think he misses me as much as I miss him though. He has really seized this oppurtunity to become Dad's shadow. Even though it breaks my heart a little that he doesnt need his Mother every minute, it melts my heart to see the bond between Father and Son grow. He is lucky to have a Dad who loves him so much and doesnt mind him tagging along everytime he goes outside or in the garage. And what little boy wouldnt love having a Dad that gets in the swimming pool with all of their clothes on, just because you want them to? This is just one of the reasons why we are all so lucky to have Troy around...
