Lots of brains.....

This is Logan doing one of his favorite things....watching his brother. This has brought us a lot of comfort over the last week or two. At Logan's 2 month check up the ped looked back at Logan's birth measurements, 1 month stats and 2 month stats. His head had grown too quickly and because of the percentage of growth he was in the category of rapid head growth or macrocephaly. He had a cranial ultrasound today. Seeing that he was completely appropriate like tracking and watching his brother from across the room has made me feel a lot better this past week as we waited for this test. He is also going to be able to keep up with his family and has started "talking" and is cooing up a storm! All of this is things he should be doing at this age. This test was just to make sure nothing was going on. I had really felt peaceful about the whole thing but that few minutes that they were doing the ultrasound was pretty intense! Seeing your kid's brain on a screen and knowing they are looking for terrible, horrible things that would change our lives was pretty stressful. Thankfully before we left, they were able to give us the "all clear." I am sure his large head has to do with being in the 95% for weight! I am sure it also means he is very smart! Thank you Jesus for a healthy baby!

Welcome to the "big head baby club"!! Owen is in the 95% also...but i don't think he has ever left the 90-95%. Is is off the curve for his weight, so now he is on a diet!! not really, but they did tell us to 'not feed him as much' easier said then done!!

OH MY GOSH!!!!!! Logan and Jake are so cute. I see that Logan has a bumbo seat. Andrew has one just like it. Same color same seat. And Drew loves it. I hope Logan likes it too. And I think that it is so cute that Logan likes watching Jake. Drew does it sometimes, too. But he would much rather prefer to sit in his bumbo seat and play with his toys or watch T.V with me, Tess, and Ethan.
