Happy Anniversary

Taylor and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary yesterday. It's hard to believe it's been 4 years already. We celebrated by going up to Park City, doing a little shopping at the outlets, and then going out to dinner. We took Logan with us and luckily he slept most of the time. Logan has decided that if he's awake and in his car seat, he needs to be screaming. So thank goodness he stayed asleep. It was a perfect outing for our new little family.

Happy Birthday Taylor

This past week we celebrated Taylor's 28th Birthday.We had a little birthday party at the house and went out to dinner at the Mandarin restaurant with his family. For Taylor's birthday we splurged and got a new macbook laptop. It is the greatest thing ever! For those of you that own a mac you know what I'm talking about. Everything is 10 times easier and there are so many cool features. Thank you Taylor for having a birthday.

Preggers

So I've had some requests for pictures of me while I was pregnant. A lot of you never got to see me and I guess you want proof.  So here I am in all my fatness. I put on around 25 pounds and I think 20 of it went to my face. My sister was pregnant too so I posted one of the both of us. The fact of the matter is, when you get that big it's hard to do anything. Getting out of bed was a workout in itself. Putting on my shoes...nearly impossible. Oh, and I kept running into things because I would forget that I stuck out so far. I can't tell you how many times I ran into the corner of the counter, and let me tell you, it hurts. On the flip side there were so many exciting and fun things about being pregnant. I'll never forget the first time I felt him move or our first ultrasound when we got to see all his little features. 9 months seems like such a long time but it's amazing how fast it goes by.

Logan's Blessing

Sunday we had Logan's baby blessing. Here are some pictures of Logan in his Tuxedo. The tux is huge but he still looks pretty darn cute in it. Thank you to all the friends and family that came to support us. (Don't worry Greg, that doesn't include you). ;-) 

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.
