We're Home

Many of you have been asking for more recent photos of Logan now that he is home. He has been enjoying his time at home as he has had many visitors. He has also become close with the many animals in the house. Like most babies less than 2 weeks of age, he spends most of his time eating, sleeping, crying, and going to the bathroom. He has been much more alert and is beginning to distinguish between day and night. The swaddle blanket definitely helps in that category.

On Friday he had his first pediatrician appointment and he passed with flying colors. He was almost back to his birth weight - shy by only 1 ounce. The average baby gains back their birth weight within 2 weeks. Logan was born 7lbs 6oz and left the hospital 7lbs 1oz. He also measured at 20 3/4", which is 3/4" longer than his birth length. Must be all the bottles he has been drinking.

Born Into It

At less than 1 week old, Logan got into gear to watch his first red sox game. He is pictured to the right in his "Born Into It" onsie with his red sox infant hat, red sox receiving blanket, and red sox socks.

Logan's Brit Milah (7/25/07)

In the Jewish Religion, Jewish boys are welcomed into a covenant with G-d and the children of Israel through the covenant of circumcision on the 8th day after their birth. This mitzvah is called a Bris or Brit Milah. It is performed by a Mohel in the presence of family and friends followed by a celebratory meal (seudat mitzvah). For more information on the history and reasons for the Brit Milah ceremony, visit wikepedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brit_milah

Logan celebrated his Brit Milah on Wednesday, July 25th, 2007. His Mohel was Dr. Kaweblum. Over 50 friends and family joined Logan to celebrate. To see pictures of this joyous event, click here.

We're Going Home

After a couple days in the hospital it is time for Logan to take his first car ride and finally see the Nursery that we have spent months getting ready. The hospital stay was very nice. We got to try out two different wings of the Winter Park Memorial Hospital. Yesterday evening we were moved to the new building - The Dr. Phillips Baby Place. The rooms were much bigger and much nicer, though the accomodations for daddy weren't as nice. We have a couple more things to do today at the hospital like breakfast followed by a 10:30 discharge class. We hope to check out around noon today. Logan will be accepting visitors at the house. Just make sure to call before popping in just to make sure we are there.

Visitors Welcome!

After only one day, Logan is already taking visitors. He loves the attention. Stefanie's mother Barbara (pictured to the left) was the first family visitor followed by Glenn, Lara, and Maddie. Clay and Wendi arrived around the same time as Uncle Todd, Aunt Monica, and cousin Jared in the evening. Unfortunately, kids under 16 are not allowed in the hospital room unless they are siblings, so Jared didn't get to see his cousin, but there are plenty of pictures for him to view. Uncle Todd orchestrated a photo shoot last night and the images are available by

Thanks for the Flowers!

Thank you everyone for the beautiful flowers. They really brighten up the hospital room.
