Logan Turns 7 Months Old!


As you can tell from his blog, it has been a busy month for Logan. He played host to several out of town visitors, met some new relatives, went to Walt Disney World a dozen times, celebrated his father's birthday, and celebrated his first Valentine's Day. He is also getting over a cold that has made it hard to take his 7 month old picture, but he is recovering nicely and already back at school.

Many people are asking whether he has started crawling or if he has his first tooth. Although no crawling or teething, he certainly has learned some new tricks. He can sit up unassisted now without any supervision. He has just started to clap. If we can confirm he is actually clapping, we'll post a video. Right now it is questionable. He started saying his first recognizable sound -- da-da-da-da-da.

In terms of his eating habits, they have never been better. There is nothing Logan won't eat and luckily he is spitting up less and less. This month he experienced a whole new set of stage 2 foods like Macaroni & Cheese, Turkey, and Chicken. He also just started eating Yogurt. He no longer needs our help when it comes to drinking liquids. He can hold his own bottle and drink from a sippy cup.

How much does he weigh, you might ask? With clothes on, he now weighs 18 pounds, 8 ounces. He has also graduated to a size 4 diaper, but he is still in his 6-12 months clothes.

He is playing with more advance toys now that he can sit up. He plays on his drum, his maracas, his shape sorter, to name a few. He is also learning to knock over blocks and can bang two objects together. To see pictures of his adventures this past month, click here.

Keep checking the blog regularly for Logan's 8 month adventures.

Happy Valentine's Day!


Happy Valentine's Day. Love, Logan

Logan celebrates daddy's birthday at Bern's Steakhouse

Although you might not traditionally think of Bern's Steakhouse in Tampa as a place for kids, Logan couldn't imagine missing the opportunity to hang out with his parent's friends at the dessert room in Bern's Steakhouse. The day before daddy's birthday, the family went birthday party hopping in Tampa. First it was Katie Kissel's 1 year old birthday party at the Kissel Home. Then it was a joint birthday party for Joe Fisher and Daddy at Shane and Jocie's home. The evening ended with dessert. Click here for pictures of people holding Logan throughout the evening.

Logan meets new Shapiros


It was Grandma Esther's birthday so people came from all over to wish her a happy birthday and to see Grandpa. Lexi and Mark came down, Lauren came down, Harvey came down, and the Feldman's were there as well. Although a quick trip, Logan got to meet his Great Grandpa Julie for the first time and got to meet Lexi, Mark, and Lauren for the first time. He took a couple photos which are all available for viewing here.

The Cohen's vist from Alpharetta to go to Disney


Logan got to spend another weekend at Walt Disney World when his Aunt Hollie, Uncle Jonathon, and cousins Jordyn and Benjamin drove to Orlando for the weekend from Alpharetta. It had been a while since the twins had been to Disney. This trip started with a character breakfast at the Polynesian hotel where the kids got to meet Mickey, Pluto, Lilo, and Stitch. They also got to parade around the restaurant with maracas.

After breakfast, we went to the Magic Kingdom where we spent the entire day. We met the princesses in Mickey's Toon Town where Logan and Jordyn had a photo opp with Belle, Arora, and Cinderella. While in Toon Town, Jordyn picked out a beautiful princess dress while Logan was getting his first pair of Mickey Ears.



We left Mickey's Toon town and headed straight for Fantasy Land. We got to ride Dumbo, Tea Cups, It's a Small World, and several other rides in addition to a brief recess at the Pooh Playground. Logan couldn't get over It's a Small World. He was intrigued with all of the characters. Then we separated for Logan to eat while the Twins tried out some big kid rides like the race cars in Tomorrow Land.

We had a busy, fun-filled day at the Magic Kingdom and returned home to relax. Jordyn couldn't wait to try on her Princess Dress. She had the shoes, dress, and tiara all fit for a princess. She loved it so much that she didn't want to take it off. Everyone left for South Florida the next morning after a good night's sleep. For pictures of the character breakfast, princess photo shoot, shots of the kids on the rides, and some relaxation back at home, click here.
