A little late getting this post out, but with everything that went on over the past few days it’ll make sense why.

Thursday, Thanksgiving, Logan turned 8-months old!  I truly believe that once you have a kid, time speeds up!  Here are his updated stats from what we measured:

Weight: 22-pounds, 3.2-ounces (fully-clothed)
Height: 28.0-inches
Head: 18.19 (18 3/16)-inches

And of course a picture of the little boy who wished he was partaking in the feast:

This year for Thanksgiving, we once again joined Joe and his family, then followed that meal up with a second dessert at a friend’s house.

By Friday night Logan had developed his first cold.  Poor little guy, didn’t sleep well Friday night at all and Saturday morning he wanted nothing but to cuddle with his momma.  I felt so bad for him, sniffling, snoring and coughing.  Thankfully we have a humidifier, which has helped.  By Saturday afternoon, after finally getting in a couple good naps, he was feeling well enough to play for a bit.  But he was still so exhausted, but we all feel that way when we are sick.  Logan was still not feeling well yesterday, and was snoozing the morning away, so we stayed from from church, while Noah headed to the service.  Both Saturday and last night he still didn’t sleep well, but managed to find some energy for some low-key playing.  He was still congested this morning, but in good spirits.  Hopefully this cold works through quickly and builds his immune system.

Today also, Logan started with his new nanny.  We have now placed him with the same nanny Joe & Erika use, so Logan will get to grow up playing with his cousins.  My drive to work now takes me east, then south, instead of northeast than south, but the commute time is about the same.  Despite the time in the car, we’re excited for this opportunity.

This past week we also moved Logan into a convertible car seat.  This will be his seat for the next 50-pounds!  A couple weeks ago I gave up moving his infant car seat in and out of the car as hefting the 30+ combined weight was not being so kind to my back…however, it was helping me build some nice guns!  Since, I was no longer moving the car seat, we decided the kid might as well sit more comfortably, so we cashed in beaucoup credit card points and bought an uber safety rated ($$$) car seat for no money out of pocket!  What a sweet deal that is!  Anyway, Logan seems to like it.  He sits higher, has a better view out the windows and likes to feel the soft fabric.  Now, we just need to figure out a good toy latch system before our upcoming road trip.
