OUR NEW ADDITION

Everyone has been telling me that I need to start a blog so here it is. As many of you know we recently had a little addition to our family. Logan Taylor Dean was born on July 1, 2008 at 5:44 pm. He was 5 lbs 8 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. Just a little guy but so adorable. It's hard to believe that he is a month old already. He's already gained over a pound and is doing really well. He's a pretty good baby all and all, just demands a lot of attention. He prefers to be held about 90% of the time. It's hard to get much done so forgive me for not getting back to many of your phone calls and emails. Right now it's hard to tell who he looks like. Taylor and I don't think he looks like either of us but maybe that's a good thing.

I am doing really well. It's definitely a huge adjustment but I love being a mom. The middle of the night feedings are probably the hardest. As many of you know, I love my sleep. There was an unspoken rule that no one called me on Saturday mornings before 12pm because I probably was still sleeping. Well all that has changed now. I'm up at least every three hours. It's probably good many of you haven't seen me because you know how cranky I get on so little sleep. But I'm adjusting. I thought that I would be so bored at home but it's amazing how a baby fills up your time. I do have to admit that when Taylor gets home from work I'm ready for a break, but it doesn't take long before I miss holding Logan and I'm ready to step back in. 

Taylor has been so great. For never holding a newborn and never changing a diaper, he has sure risen to the occasion. He is so great with Logan. Sometimes I think Logan likes his dad more than he likes me. He seems to always calm right down for Taylor which is a good thing. We are so grateful for our new little baby and can't imagine life without him.
