Wow! Week 40. It's amazing to think that if June 23rd would have been his conception date, Logan would just be due to be born. Granted, he didn't make it the full 40 weeks. But, it really puts how long pregnancy really is into perspective.

Alex and I were supposed to play in a tournament on the 24th, but we decided against it with Logan's ear infection and I still wasn't in great health yet. It ended up being for the best since we got a lot of stuff done around the house including some much needed baby proofing. A lot of decorative items were retired to the garage for the time being and we installed plug covers and other safety items like that. Logan and I spent more time recuperating the following week with a few activities mixed in.


The following weekend, we spent some time together as a family on Saturday and then we went to church on Staurday night. On Sunday, I played in the women's state volleyball tournament while Alex and Logan had a Daddy/Son day. Our church sponsored an Easter egg hunt and activities in a park in Southfield. Logan had a great time and enjoyed meeting the Easter bunny. Unfortunately, Alex forgot the camera so we don't have any pictures to share.

We decided to take advantage of the last warm day before the cold spell hit and went to the zoo on Monday with some of the Parent's Group babies. Logan was a bit crabby so he didn't seem too interested with the animals. We bought a zoo membership so hopefully he'll be more interested this summer. I went up to work on Tuesday so Logan got to spend time with Grandma Helsom. They just got back from Florida the weekend before. On Wednesday, we met Angie and Ella at the mall. On Thursday, we went to Grandma Ginny's to participate in the daycare's Easter egg hunt. It was a little strange hunting eggs in 3 inches of snow, so we only kept him outside long enough to get a few pictures.

He has perfected his crawling over the past few weeks and is getting pretty fast. He can also pull himself up on pretty much anything and is getting good at transferring from one object to another. Last Sunday, Daddy got to witness a great "first". Logan figured out how to push his Tigger scooter and walk along behind it. So, we pulled out the walker aid and he is getting pretty good at walking behind it. Logan's right front tooth also came through on the 29th. His left tooth made an appearance on the 3rd, but his gums have swollen around it again. Hopefully, it will pop through pretty soon.

Logan had his 9 month well baby checkup on the 5th. He offically weighs in at 19 lbs, 4 ounces. He's still in the 25th percentile for weight and head circumference and the 50th for length. The doctor decided to change his reflux medicine. Nights have been pretty difficult for the past 3 weeks or so. He can't sleep for more than 3 hours at a time and it gets worse towards the end of the night so most nights I end up holding him upright by the end of the night. I'm sure being sick didn't help matters any either. The doctor has put him on a 2 week trial with Prevacid, another acid reflux medicine. Hopefully this will work!
