2 Weeks

Today, Logan is 2 weeks old.  His stats at his appointment were: 8lbs 15oz and 21in long.  He still sleeps most of the time but is increasing his wakeful time each day.  Today was also my first day home with both boys by myself.  It actually went much better than expected.  We were able to do art, go for a walk and all took an afternoon nap at the same time!  The most challenging part is that I can't lift Ryder for 6 weeks.

Art: painting and puzzle-making

So in love with his little bro :)

Another fun one of our handsome little man :)

Sweet Dreams

Someday soon, we will sit and read together in this chair.  But today, it's for capturing sweet dreams...

1 Week

Logan was born one week ago today.  This first week has been filled with lots of visitors at the hospital, special outings with mom and dad, adjusting to being parents of two, and falling in love with our new little boy. 

At his first doctor appt yesterday, he weighed 8lbs 9oz and was 20in long. 

He opens his eyes for about 15-30 minutes a day so far and sleeps the rest of the time!

Visting with Grandma D in the hospital.  I love that he has this subtle little grin on his face!  Her bubbly personality is reaching him already :)

Getting ready to go home on day 4 at the hospital

His going home outfit was one Great Grandpa Anderson gave to Ryder.  But I bet he'd love that Logan is wearing it, too :)

On Wednesday, Shawn, Logan and I had a "date" at Sea Salt near the Minnehaha Falls.  We had fish tacos out on the patio in the sunshine - it was wonderful!  Logan enjoyed sleeping to the sound of the waterfall :)

On Thursday, the three of us went to Stillwater.  Here's Logan chillin at the Dock Cafe.

Once the sun came out, we enjoyed the beautiful weather out on the patio at Reve.

I feel so lucky to have such an amazing litte family and love moments like this when I can sit back and just savor them :)

Thanks to Pinterest, I have a long list of newborn photos to take :)

Flashback

Shawn and I have been saying that having Logan around feels like we have stepped back in time and are having our first all over again.  Especially with Ryder in daycare this week.  I think part of it has to do with the fact that these boys look so much alike!!  Here's a pic of Ryder at 2 weeks and Logan at 4 days old.  Can you tell who's who??

Brotherly Love

Our biggest hope for these two is that they will grow up as buddies.  So far, this is a success - Ryder never wants to be more than inches from his baby brother!
