Logan Paul

Playtime!

2009-06-29T12:35:00.005-04:00

Logan had a really busy sunday. It started with a visit from Nana! Logan and my mother played ball and Logan was able to catch (sometimes). Logan also colored with chalk on the driveway for the first time. It ended with him eating the chalk (I wonder if one color tasted better than another). He also had a ton of fun playing on the slide.

Then came pool time! It was his first time in a pool (or bath as he liked to call it). He refused to sit down, but enjoyed splashing and throwing the ball and had a great time.

Logan loves "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and now asks for it a lot. He even does the start of the hand motions of going up. Its quite a fun song to repeat and repeat and repeat...

What a Fun Weekend!

2009-06-15T15:43:00.006-04:00

For Shabbos lunch, we had our friends Josh Lipowsky, the Carmans and their 1.5 year old son. At one point, their son Eli was playing with Logan's toys. Logan got upset, walked over to Joey, pointed at Eli and said "No, no, no, no no!" I was laughing pretty hard! I never knew he had trouble sharing because he has to share so much at daycare!

Shabbos afternoon, he was eating cheerios out of a snack trap. He fed me one and then tried to feed me more, but I wasn't in the mood so I closed my mouth. Logan proceeded to show me how to eat a cheerio by placing it near his open mouth. Then he put it in mine. I'm a quick learner!

Sunday we had a birthday party for our friend's son who just turned 1! We also had a lot of funny playing in the backyard.

Logan was able to climb onto the bench and pet the cat (when she stuck around).

Where is the baby?

2009-06-11T14:32:00.001-04:00

Yesterday, I asked Logan "Where is the baby?" He lifted up my shirt, pointed to my belly button and said "Here baby!" His first full sentence!

I was in Iceland for a week and Logan was home with his Daddy. Poor Logan missed me a lot and was SO excited when I got back. He was all smiles!

Logan is getting in molars and is in pain. Saturday night he woke up and I asked him what was wrong. He pointed to his mouth to let me know his teeth hurt. He is really communicating well!

Time to Continue This Blog!

2009-05-07T13:53:00.002-04:00

Between fall holidays, a long work emergency (October-December), geting pregnant and a whole slew of other things, this blog has fallen by the wayside. Its time to restart!

Logan is getting really big. He took his first steps before his first birthday and because a full time walker at 13 months. At 14 months we took him for shoes and now at 15 months he loves to run and chase the cat.

He also is talking up a storm! His first word was "kitty cat" at 1 year. He now says a whole slew of things including mommy, daddy, bath, balloon, ball, kitty cat, dog, uh oh, shoes and many more.

He also has a great sense of humor - after being scolded twice not to stick his finger in his nose, he put his finger next to his nose and started laughing hysterically. I think he inherited his father's sense of humor!

2008-09-02T12:57:00.003-04:00

Logan got a baby laptop as a present and he loves it. Of course, its one of those obnoxious baby toys that has annoying sounds

that everyone but the baby hates, but it keeps Logan entertained! When the real laptop is nearby, he tries to play on that, but we keep giving him his own.

08/03/08 - Here we sit like birds in the wilderness, waiting for our food

Logan turned 6 months and we had a birthday party for him. We all (Nana, Zaidy, us parents and Logan) wore transformer birthday hats and we sang. Then Logan had his first solids. He got rice cereal and he scarfed it down like he had been eating solids all his life! His first tooth popped today also!

07/10/08 Playing at Nana

2008-07-24T09:25:00.002-04:00

Nana let Logan play on her oriental rug and then on her white couch! Logan likes to eat his feet now - I wish I were that flexible!

07/09/08 - At Nana's House

2008-07-24T09:15:00.007-04:00

This morning, Logan woke up and lay down with me in a real bed. He had so much fun propped up on pillows and playing with the blanket. He also had a lot of fun playing in Nana's front lawn. Wow, grass!

2008-07-24T08:34:00.000-04:00

He just looks too cute!

07/04/08 - July Fourth

2008-07-24T08:29:00.004-04:00

July 4 was hot and humid. Logan was decked out in a red and white outfit (thank you Aunt Chani) and sitting in a blue stroller. He covered his bases well :-) We went to the local town parade down Queen Anne Rd where they had marching bands, fire trucks, veterans, soccer teams etc. It was so cute - like a quaint, small town America. I felt like I was in the middle of Iowa!

07/03/08 - New Stroller

2008-07-24T08:23:00.002-04:00

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for my new stroller. Its lightweight, sturdy and so comfortable.

Logan welcomed his new friend into the Jewish men's club! Although he didnt go to the bris he was very excited for his new friend. Logan hung out at Grandma and Grandpa while we went. Logan is finally able to wear the grand old opry tshirt we bought while he was still in utero. Its amazing that we bought it so long ago (Thanksgiving weekend) and he finally fits into it!

06/12/08 - Logan grasping toys

2008-06-29T21:38:00.003-04:00

05/30/08 - 4 month checkup

2008-06-29T20:53:00.006-04:00

Logan's 4 month visit was today - he clocked in at 13 lbs 4 oz and 25.5" tall. He is growing so fast! He was just born and now he has almost doubled his birthweight. The doctor is very happy with his head/neck/torso control. All that tummy time is paying off!

05/19/08 - Back to work!

2008-06-29T20:35:00.006-04:00

Now that I went back to work, I've completely neglected Logan's website! I'll do some broad updates and then redo my motherly duty!!!

I went back to work on May 19, and Logan and Joey walked me to the bus stop. It was so hard to get up and leave Logan, especially because he was extra cute that morning. Logan had a wonderful day at daycare but was very happy to see his parents. That night, he opened a gift from grandma and grandpa - an aquarium for his crib! He loves the aquarium and it really helps him get to sleep well.

05/11/08 Mother's Day

2008-05-14T12:24:00.003-04:00

For mother's day we were in Philly. We had stayed at Joey's cousins for shabbos, where we took some really nice pictures in their backyard.

Next, we went to downtown Philly to see Constitution Hall and the Liberty Bell. Logan behaved really nicely! The only problem was that he started to laugh and talk during the tour. It was adorable but we hushed him so other people wouldnt complain.

Last, we went to Uncle Steven's 60th Birthday party. Logan got to meet his cousin Aliza for the first time (1 month younger). We all had a fantastic time!

05/09/08 A Visit to Daddy's Office

2008-05-14T12:18:00.002-04:00

Logan went to visit his father and work and they made him get a visitor's badge! As it says, he must have an escort at all times!

05/07/08 Even More Tummy Time

2008-05-08T10:05:00.005-04:00

The doctor was very happy with Logan's muscle control. Here is a picture showing how nicely he holds his head and chest up.

This video shows him playing quite a bit!

05/04/08 Our New Baby isnt a Baby anymore!

2008-05-08T09:53:00.003-04:00

On our way back up from Baltimore our new baby (Ford Fusion) reached 1111.1 miles. We got the car at 6 miles just a few days before Pesach! Watch the odometer change!

05/01/08 Oh What a Day!

2008-05-08T09:48:00.003-04:00

Today Logan is 3 months old (and his mother is 26!) The day started at the doctor for a well checkup and shots. Logan is 12 lbs 10 oz and 24 in tall!

Then we went hiking at Ramapo Mountain Park. It was a nice hike down to a lake (about 2 miles round trip but steep uphill on the way back). Logan was looking at us like "why is this so hard? I can do it so easily!"

03/27/08

2008-04-02T04:46:00.002-04:00

Logan went for his two month appointment today. He is 10 lbs 11 oz (25%) and 23 inches (50%) tall. He is growing so fast and its hard to believe hes considered "smaller." He also got his first round of shots today. He screamed so loudly when he got shot and his scream was in a totally different pitch. It sounded horrible. Nana came to keep us company since Logan was in pain all afternoon. Logan handled everything like the little man that he is!

Logan is starting to discover himself!

02/17/08 - Logan's First Bath

2008-02-18T17:23:00.003-05:00

With his umbilical cord off and his circumcision healed, we gave Logan his first bath. Once Logan was in the warm water, he loved it (which made everything easier). He was very cooperative. He even peed over the baby bath into the bathtub, so only a little of his urine stayed in the baby bath!

02/14/08 - Off to the Pediatrician

2008-02-18T17:06:00.003-05:00

We went to the pediatrician for Logan's 2 week visit. While there, Logan peed on the doctor. I told her that he was getting revenge for the future shots she will give him! Logan weighed in at 7 lbs. The doctor was very happy about his weight gain. Looks like he'll be a big boy! The picture was taken at the pediatrician's office after he peed :-)

02/13/08

2008-02-18T17:02:00.002-05:00

Beause of Logan's cold, he was more comfortable sleeping in his car seat (pediatrician approved!) and he just looked so cute.

02/08/08 - The Bris

2008-02-14T17:20:00.004-05:00

We brought Logan to shul for his Bris. Logan hung out with his godparents (Bella and Dovid Krieger) while Rabbi Seplowitz prepared him for the Bris. Poor Logan was a prince while he joined the Jewish nation. He was named Meir Pinchas after my father, Joey's grandfather and Opa's nephew. Joey gave a beautiful speech and bestowed upon Logan the the innocence of youth; the independence of adulthood and the wisdom of old age.

02/07/08 - Vacht Nacht

2008-02-14T16:53:00.006-05:00

As tradition dictates, the night before a baby's bris, kids in the neighborhood (AKA our neices) come over to say shema. Then Logan got a sponge bath to prepare for his bris the next day. Thank you Aunt Chani for giving him a sponge bath!
