Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was fun as usual! We started with a brunch at Justin's Mom's and then a late lunch with Justin's Dad's family. I took a few pictures, but somehow Hailey evaded me :).  I swear she was there with us!

Logan has started smiling in the last two weeks. 

He was being really cute with my dad and Mom got a few good pictures.

The week before Thanksgiving...

I have been a lazy blogger.  We have been having fun preparing for the holidays and the arrival of my parents. Here are some pictures from the week before Thanksgiving:

Logan's first movie:  We took the girls to see Lion King 3D.  He did great!

Kaelin had to make a Native American vest for her Thanksgiving Feast at school.  

Here is the finished product:

Hailey made a vest too:

Kaelin also had to make a gingerbread person for a take home project for school:

Logan often gets swaddled up twice a day in his warmest blanket to get K on and off the bus. 

He is so adorable all wrapped up.

Last week I needed to take the trash out to the curb and it was raining.  

So I laid Logan on the floor of our van.  He fell asleep.

When Daddy's Away...

This week Justin was in Boston, and when he's away (and Ray is working) we get bored!  Thankfully Tuesday Grandma Cindy came to take each of the girls on a date.  She spent lunchtime with Hailey and dinnertime with K.  Then, yesterday Jecca brought over apples, caramel and decorations...so Auntie Amy and Dominic joined us fro some pizza and then decoration fun :).  Here are pictures from yesterday:

Logan was supporting Daddy's work: our little Schmolz & Bichkenbach man :)

Caramel Fun:

 Dominic got a little carried away with the caramel...so Amy helped him clean up :)

On a different note, Kaelin brought this pumpkin home from art class.  I thought it was really cool.  The kids cut everything out and put it together.  

Logan's Weight

Today was Logan's 1 month weight check at the doctor's office.  He weighs 11 pounds, 4 ounces! BIG BOY!  Remember, he was 8 pounds, 1 ounce at birth.

In comparison - Kaelin was born at 8 lbs, 2 oz, and Hailey at 8lbs, 1oz.  At the age of one month they both weighed in at an even 10 lbs.

I have been concerned if he was getting enough to eat because I am solely nursing, and he has been spitting up quite a bit...though it may just seem that way because Hailey and Kaelin NEVER spit up!  He is also really gassy, though the dr. said that is normal.  As long as he keeps gaining weight he said we are fine.  I am going to not let him eat more than 15-20 minutes at a time for now, to make sure he isn't getting over full, which could cause him to puke.

Other than that he is an angel and all looks good :)

Logan is 1 month old - ALREADY!!!

Wow!  I cannot believe how fast the last month has gone!  I feel like I should be more prepared, seeing as this is our third child, but it still amazes me!  Logan is so big already.  He is a great eater! (sometimes he enjoys it so much it is all he wants to do :)) He seems to have had several growth spurts.  He also likes to lay on his playmat - really enjoys a specific giraffe toy - has even hit it a few times.  He LOVES to be on his belly, especially by being held up against our shoulders, even wide awake.  It is his favorite way to snuggle.  

His big sisters LOVE him and are constantly helping and doting on him.  He is already a spoiled little brother.  Tonight though, he had some time alone with Daddy, Uncle and I, as his sisters are spending the night with Papa Tom and Grandma Barb.  

I, of course, took the opportunity to take more pictures of him :).  I got these really cool decals on etsy.com.  They are a neat vinyl that stick to his onesie each month to record how old he is.  

He was getting hungry.  I had to get the pouty lip picture before I fed him.

Snuggling with Daddy

Here are a few examples of the school work K has brought home in the last few weeks.  She is doing really well and likes school.  I am very proud of her! Also, today she received a 'Caught Being Good' award for being a good friend to all! I love that other adults are noticing how kind Kaelin is!

More of Logan

I can't help it...Logan is adorable, and I like to take his picture :).

Big Sis Hailey - I was impressed.  She held him for a 5-10 min.
