Those of you with boys will understand this entry. Logan has brought many new and weird surprises to me as a mom. Having Lindsay first didn’t really prepare me for anything because she was such an angel. You probably think I’m joking but seriously she was. She never got into anything, never colored on walls, never threw fits (well, not many), was only in time out two times that I can think of and was always SO SWEET!! I was feeling pretty good about myself as a mom and was thinking ‘hey, this is pretty easy!’ And then Logan came into our lives. The first 6 months were pretty easy. He was a VERY easy baby once we figured out which formula he liked, and as long as his tummy was full he was happy. Then when he was 6 months old, out of nowhere, these fits came on. That’s right, you read it right, 6 months!!! I remember at his 6 month checkup mentioning it our pediatrician and he was like, ‘Really? Fits? That’s pretty early.” But Logan knows what he wants and if you take it away he lets you know about it. It wasn’t too bad at first but now he pretty much just throws fits, which sometimes is super cute but other times I’ve just had enough. I’m also pretty sure that the word ‘no’ isn’t in Logan’s little vocabulary. He just chooses not to listen to you. The other thing that Logan brought with him is constant ouchies!! The kid falls down all the time! Last week he hurt himself like 6 times, three of which were bleeders! I guess boys will be boys! Lindsay would get bruises but she didn’t bleed much. But even though Logan brings us many challenges, he is also SO SWEET! He gives the best kisses and we’re working on hugs. We are so happy he came to be with us. I’m so extremely happy to have them both in my life and for the different kids that they are. Life wouldn’t be any fun if they were the same. My favorite part of the day is when they are playing with each other, whether it’s wrestling or chasing each other around the house. There is something so sweet about your kids having fun with each other and giving you a moment to relax and just watch. Kids are the best and I wouldn’t exchange my life for anything else. I love you Lindsay and Logan!
