Logan's blessing and checkups

So with three fun kids blogging has definitely been neglected.  I decided I'd update by doing a post for each of the kids and us since there's so much happening.  Also I've been figuring out how to get pictures off my new phone.  Anywho, we blessed Logan on June 3.  We've been so blessed to have this cute little guy with us.  He's so ready for a grin for everyone.  I was able to take these pictures with Lizzie entertaining him.  He absolutely loves Lizzie and Daniel.  The blessing day was great.  It was amazing to have so much family in town.  One of the great things about a day like this is that everyone's passing our kids around during sacrament meeting and we get to listen for a change! Haha usually I'm pretty good at both, you know multitasking and everything, but Spence really enjoyed being able to pay attention.

Here are his 2 month and 4 month stats.  Like I said I really got behind!
2 month:  11 lb 4 oz (37%) and 21 in (1%)
4 month:  13 lb 2 oz (18%) and 23 in (2%)
Of course following suit with Lizzie and Daniel, he may look chubby, but he's definitely on the smaller end of the scale.  He sleeps through the night usually really good, only waking up once at around 4.  I feel bad for the poor guy.  When it's summer our schedule is all sorts of crazy so I'm sure it's hard for him to figure out.  Hopefully things calm down and he'll start taking regular naps.  Logan has some days where he is amazingly happy and takes good naps.  Then there are others like yesterday where I can't put him down the whole day unless I want to hear him scream.  He's definitely been the best eater out of all the kids so far.  I finally understand how other women can breastfeed their kids for longer than a couple months.  It never stopped hurting with Daniel and Lizzie, but with Logan I might be able to feed him close to when I run the marathon.  We've been trying several things to keep him happy.  He goes into these crying fits where he won't stop even when you're holding him.  The probiotic worked really well, but it was $30 for about a two-three week supply.  So now we've tried some colic drops, but I haven't really seen any improvement with that.  If it is colic it should be evening out, although Daniel never seemed to until naps became more regular.  Ah well, here's to hoping.  Here are some more pictures of the cute little guy!  Most of them are just kind of random, but I couldn't resist when he fell asleep with his arms up in the air like he just won a race.  Also the picture of Steven and Spencer on the top rightish might seem odd, but Logan's in the front pack on Steven who's rapelling down the cliff with him.  I had to have a picture of his first rapel!
