One Week Ago Today

Happy One-Week Birthday, Hunter Logan! 

Our little man arrived at 9:23 AM on Friday, June 24. He weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz., and measured 20" long. He is absolutely perfect with his dark hair and eyes (guess Leah was right about the eye color!), and beautiful features. (Yes, I'm biased, but I'm allowed to be.)

Although we're still adjusting to Hunter's presence, we are all doing well. Like all newborns, Hunter is a champion sleeper, especially during the day. At night, well, that varies. Some are better than others (last night was NOT one of the better ones). Like Leah, Hunter is a good little baby, fussing only when he's hungry or has a gas bubble. During his moments of lucidity, he's observing and listening to his surroundings, taking it all in. 

He's also a champion cuddler. Yeah! Just yesterday, he and I snuggled together for a nap. Of course, since he's so warm, at one point I had to move him lower on my chest since I was sweating. Wouldn't you know that he didn't like that? He inched his way back up, nestling himself underneath my chin. 

Surprisingly (well, to me and Scott), Hunter generates a lot more laundry than Leah ever did at this age. Despite our best preemptive efforts, Hunter keeps peeing through his diaper, onesie, and blanket. How does he do that? Looks like I won't be able to do laundry just one day a week for awhile. 


Although Leah is still adjusting, for the most, she's been doing really well. She loves her baby brother, that's for certain. First thing in the morning or just after a nap, she'll say, "I go see Mommy and baby brother." Upon finding us, she'll give Hunter a hug and a kiss, and then move on to whatever it is that she wants to do (play, read books, etc.). There are other times where she'll stop what she's doing to come find us. Again, she's just checking in, making sure that we're doing okay.  The past two days, I've actually had some one-on-one time with Leah, which has been beneficial to both of us. Yesterday, we made cookies, and today, we shared breakfast before she scampered downstairs to help her Grandmas clean (for which I am SOOO grateful). 
                 All in all, we're doing well. Feel free to stop by for a visit. We'd love to see you.

 Thinking that Hunter was going to be big like his sister, I didn't bring any newborn clothes to the hospital. Oops. This three-month outfit was GIGANTIC on him!

 All ready to go to his first doctor's appointment.

 He just curled up in a ball while snuggled in Aunt Mel's arms.

 Guess what trick his cousin Kenzie taught him?
