Camp & More!

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend and stayed cool! It sure is hot here in Atlanta☀️!!

Last week was very busy for Logan! It started off like every Monday with Speech and Aqua Therapy! He did great at both! His vocabulary is expanding and he is really working hard on his 2 and 3 word phrases! At Aqua, our little Water Bug is still progressing with his swimming skills and he loves to put his head under water!  He can hold his breath for almost 9 seconds now and if you are lucky you might even see him sporting goggles at times!


On Tuesday and Friday he went to Nature Camp! There was a visitor on Tuesday that brought some pretty cool and unique animals for the campers to see! Logan loved meeting each creature but was a little hesitant on petting them, especially the snake! But so was Miss Erica!!!😁



We also met some new friends this week. One little girl loved her some Logie! Her name is Lydia and she was precious! Here are a few pics of her and Logan. She even rode him around in a cool double seated bike!!



Play Dough Fun! (plus a secret admirer!) 
Logie and his lunch mates!
Love exploring the new toys!
Long day...so sleepy...
My daughter Payton joined myself and Logan on Wednesday! This was a special treat😊 That morning her and Logan splashed around in his Water Table!

Splash, splash, splash!
After cooling off with some water fun, we headed to Alpheretta for Hippo Therapy!! This was Payton's first time seeing the little guy on a Horse!! She was quite impressed and so is his therapist on his progress! He is talking so much more to her and that is actually hard to do as he holds up his core!! Logan does not seem to mind having his helmet on anymore, which is so great, he used to not like it one bit!  Now if only we can get him to wear a real hat too!

All smiles with Payton!!
Loving my horsey time!
To end the day the three of us joined Mommy for lunch at a great Sandwich Shop near her work. I always love for Payton to spend time with Melissa and Logan! It makes P so happy! I think Logie might enjoy seeing Payton too!❤️

Quick Mommy interjection here:  On Thursday we went to see Dr. Bruce, Logan's orthopedic, and he was SO impressed at how Logan looked and how he was doing!!  The Botox this second time really has made a huge difference and has lasted a pretty long time now.  We are looking at mid September for his next round, hopefully it will be as successful!  After our appointment we headed to OT, Mommy doesn't usually get to go because I am a bit distracting but we were able to set it up so that I could sneak in after they started and watch him.  He did great!!  He made me a flower by ripping paper and gluing and was loving putting all the money in the piggy bank (maybe it's his Jewish side coming out!).  hehe  ;)  Now back to Erica...

Friday was the last day of Nature Camp. Logan had a great time! Some of his favorite activities were playing in the kitchen, getting dirty outside, riding bikes, meeting new friends and eating yummy ice cream! He got a little messy eating is Wacky Watermelon Popsicle! But it sure was fun and refreshing😄🍧







It truly was a great and eventful week for this busy guy and I enjoyed every minute watching him grow and enjoy each day! Looking forward to another awesome week ahead and our last week of Summer Camp!!

5 & 6!! - November 13-14, 2013

The title of this post says everything although you may not realize what it means...we have finally hit 2 very exciting milestones related to 5 & 6.  Let me break them down for you... I like 5 & 6! As of yesterday morning our little man is now weighing in at 5 pounds 1.7 ounces!!!  That means in just one month he has grown almost 2 pounds and is now the size of some regular term babies (albeit small ones).  Also, now that he is 5 pounds he can get in a carseat safely (which means we can take him home as soon as everything else is ready) and he is almost growing out of his preemie clothes!   Now on to 6...as of Wednesday afternoon they were able to finally move Logan down on his High Flow Nasal Cannula from level 7 to level 6.  I was a little worried how he would do on this but honestly he is doing better than when he was at level 7.  When I held him on Thursday he did the best he has ever done, he didn't drop his vitals too many times and f...

HOME!! - December 12, 2013

On my way home!! I am so excited to finally be able to write the post I have been waiting 2 months for...our little man has come home!!  The past week has been quite an eventful one but in the end we have our baby at home with us.  Logan made a ton of progress the last week in the hospital, moving to 8 bottles a day on Friday the 6th, moving off the cannula on Saturday the 7th and finally coming home exactly 2 months after he was born and 3 days after his original due date on Thursday, December 12th, weighing in at 7 pounds 3 ounces and 20 inches long!!  It is such a crazy and wonderful feeling to finally have him here with us and for the first time in 3 months not to be at the hospital!  There is this perfect and beautiful baby that has joined our daily lives and we couldn't be happier, I just love having my little family finally all together!!   The first night home was a little tough, I think I was just a little Mommy paranoid, checking every coupl...

A Bottle?!?! - November 19 - 21, 2013

So sleepy! The last couple of days have been pretty productive and exciting for us.  Our little man has made some great progress!  He has moved down to level 2 which means he is now on the low flow nasal cannula instead of the high flow and as of today he has tasted his first taste!   I think I like this new method of eating, it is so tasty!! Today was a big day and we had our first bottle feeding and I think that Logan did great.  The nurse had to do the first feeding and when we started out he had a couple of moments where he wasn't breathing as well as he should but after about 5 minutes he seemed to have it figured out.  He was able to take about 2/3 of his normal feeding (35 out of 51 cc's) and on a scale of 1 to 10 the nurse said he was an 8 for his first time.  From here on out we will be able to give him his bottles and I can't wait to see how he does with us.  They said that there is a chance they will add another bottle tomorrow to...
