A Month of Firsts

Over the last month, Logan has experienced a lot of new things for the first time. He had his first long road trip and night away from home. Over Memorial Day weekend we visited Great Grandpa Kanengieter and Great Grandma & Grandpa Kruger in Iowa. Then we stopped by Great Grandma & Grandpa Hardies house in Minnesota on the way home. He did great sleeping away from home but did get a little cranky with all the excitement. It wears a little guy out to meet 34 new people in 3 days!

He also got to meet his cousin Sonya, Uncle Jesse, and Aunt Kim. We got to celebrate Sonya's first birthday party with cake, a puppet show, and lots of fun watching the babies.

Sadly for mom, I had to return to work so Logan had his first day in daycare. He wasn't too excited about this and decided to go on a hunger strike and not eat that day. Mommy had to leave work at lunch time and feed him since he refused to take a bottle from Mandy, our daycare provider. Thankfully he has gotten over that and has now adjusted to his days there. It was hit and miss with sleeping for awhile and he would come home a very, very tired boy.

Being around other kids at daycare brings germs into the picture. Logan got his first cold. It killed mommy and daddy to see him sniffle, sneeze, and cough for over a week. Thankfully it never turned into an ear infection or anything worse. He did however pass on his sickness to dad and then mom. We're just now all feeling good again.

Logan also rolled over for the first time last week. So far he has only gone from his tummy to his back but we're working on getting him to roll all the way over.

Our favorite moment from the month is hearing him laugh for the first time this week when daddy tickled him. He's interacting more and more and we love to spend our evenings getting him to talk, smile, coo, and now laugh.

He's accomplished a lot over the last month. What will next month hold? Rolling all the way over? Sitting up? Eating solid foods? We can't wait to find out as our little monkey continues to grow up and be oh so adorable!
