Grandma and Grandpa Ferrell came down to stay Friday through Saturday(17th-18th). They brought down Connor and Kyleigh to sleep over and help watch 'Peanut' while Alex and I went to play in a volleyball tournament on Saturday. Saturday went well except we found out that Logan's digestive system doesn't like it too much when Mommy eats Hungarian sausage. He was one gassy baby! Sorry Grandma and Grandpa!

Sunday, Logan came down with his first cold. He had the standard runny nose, congestion, and cough. I took him to the doctor on Tuesday just to be on the safe side before we went to Fort Wayne for the holiday. The doctor said his lungs and ears looked OK, so we should just let the cold take its course. We elevated the end of his crib to help with the drainage and bought a vaporizer, but he has still had some pretty rough nights between the cough and congestion. We have to take him back to the doctor again tomorrow since the cold is going on 2 weeks. I'm not sure if I hope it's something else so they will give us medicine or if I hope it's still the run of the mill cold. I just hope he gets better soon!

We went to Doug & Nicole's in Fort Wayne on Wed, the 22nd for the Thanksgiving weekend. My sis and the fam also went to stay, so they had a house full. My parents are down in Florida so they enjoyed their turkey in the 80 degree weather with other people in the RV park; it was weird not to see them at Thanksgiving, but they will be back around Christmas time. Alex's parents went to West Virginia to see Roger's family, so we didn't get together with his fam for the holiday. John and Christi (Nicole's parents) hosted for Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday AND a second one on Saturday when Amy and Nick(Nicole's sister and boyfriend) could be home. We had a great weekend except for Logan's cold. It was nice to be able to hang out and visit for 4 days and we definitely ate WAY TOO MUCH. But, I guess that is what the holidays are all about.

We got together with Alex's grandparents this past Wednesday for dinner. Then, they watched Logan while we went to volleyball. They've helped us out a few Wednesdays now which we really appreciate.

Logan's sleep schedule at night has regressed, but we hope that his cold is causing the problems and he'll start sleeping longer when he feels better. He has also tried both barley and oatmeal cereal and is eating 2 tablespoons twice a day. He seems to like both, but he is still very messy when he eats so he's probably only eating about 2/3 of it. Logan loves playing peek-a-boo and singing interactive songs like "The Wheels on the Bus." He has also started noticing the dogs more and likes to reach out and pet them. Kisses from Cody also puts a big smile on his face. He seems to be happiest when he is interacting with one of us and is quick to protest if he is left to play on his own. We're working on getting a good mix of both.
