These pictures come from one of the first BBQs we had when we moved into our house in 2007. I was about 8 months pregnant with Logan here. Burke and Maggie were about 2.5.

Yum! Brownies!

Don’t get me wrong…there’s something about all my kids (Duh – they’re my kids!) But there’s just something about Logan.
When the twins were born, I was naive about how much we’d be stopped in the store and when we were out-and-about. Honestly, I really didn’t mind much. I don’t often like to be the center of attention, but it’s kind of cool to be around the center of attention. So, I’d smile and answer questions and then be on my way.
When I was pregnant with Logan, I was kind of sad that he wouldn’t get all of the attention that the twins got when they were out-and-about. Oh sure – I got looks of “Are you CRAZY, Lady??” when I went out with all three of them…but I figured that was just because I had 3 kids all under the age of 3. (And most people think you’re nuts if you have another child after you’ve had twins. Whatever…)
What I didn’t count on is the attention that Logan gets…just for being Logan. The kid has this magnetism about him that just draws people to him. And then he gets this shy thing going – which enchants these people even more. And to get a smile from him – well, that’ll just about make ANYONE’S day 😉

I posted a picture of it last week, but I finally got my act together and uploaded a video of Logan “playing” baseball.

I also posted a picture of Burke at the playground, when he was really excited to show me his new trick.

Emily from Organically Grown sent a super cute outfit to Logan. They recently added Organic Toddler Clothing to their collection and wanted a few moms to try it out.
We received a two-piece outfit: a blue shirt with Nature Boy written on it and Khaki colored shorts. Oh my GOODNESS they’re so incredibly soft!!
Since I put this on Logan on a 90 degree day, the outfit took quite the beating. He was outside for most of the day playing in sand, water, dirt, grass, chalk, everything! At one point, I looked at the outfit and thought, “well, it was good while it lasted…there’s no way it’s going to get clean!” Boy was I wrong. Everything came right out – perfectly clean and still as soft as when we received it.
I’m told that at some point in the near future, I’ll receive some coupons for Organically Grown. Stay tuned because I’ll be passing some along to you! I’d highly recommend the Organic Clothing!!

Aunt Meghan made egg-shaped Rice Krispies treats…and let the kids dip them in chocolate and then sprinkles. YUM!
Cheryl over at Twinfatuation hosts this one. Go over and have a look at what others are doing on this absolutely gorgeous Saturday.

Dr. Endo called this morning to go over the results of the tests from a few weeks ago.
Looks like nothing changes from what he initially wanted to do: we go back in 4 months to check things out.
The blood work showed that his ESR numbers were just fine (which makes sense because he wasn’t sick this time). And that the other two they were checking out (the two growth hormones) were about the same as last time. One was normal and the other was slightly low.
So we’ll just wait and see.
In other news, Logan had two speech evaluations this week. The one on Tuesday was actually his EI Re-eval where they test everything. He barely makes it back into EI for his speech stuff. And is above average in most everything else they tested. So…we’re good until he gets kicked out at age 3.
He also had testing done today at the public school to see if he qualifies for speech classes through them when he turns 3. He probably does, but they can’t say anything for sure until they go over all of the tests. We’ll have a meeting to discuss it all at some point in the near future.
The ladies there all know Burke from when he was taking his speech classes (and just gushed at how much they love him). It was kind of cute and embarrassing at the same time 🙂

Logan had his Endocrinologist appointment this morning. (EARLY! 8 am!!) Dr. Endo went over Logan’s previous lab results and growth chart with me so I actually have numbers and meanings! (Except, I’m not really sure what all those numbers actually mean 😉 )
His IGF-1 number (the growth hormone) is 45. Ideally, it should be between 51 and 303.
His IGF-BP3 number is 2.8. This one’s fine as it should be between 0.8 and 3.9.
His ESR is 26…which is “medium high” since it should be between 0 and 15. This number elevates if you’re sick though (and Logan had just gotten over pink eye and a cold).
SO….more blood drawn (and more donuts promised) to recheck those numbers. We’ll get those results and have a follow-up in 4 months.
Dr. Endo isn’t actually too worried. He figures that the appointment in 4 months will be the last one and then Dr. Pedi will just need to keep track of Logan’s growth charts.
We’ll see!

Logan pooped in the potty yesterday!! (No, I didn’t take a picture of that! 😛 ) He’s super proud of his sticker chart though.
Logan's Sticker Chart
Another thing I don’t have a picture of (bad mommy) – he’s been drinking from a “big boy cup” (non-sippy) and hasn’t spilled! Well…the does get some drops on the floor when he’s taking his cup to the sink, but that hardly counts 🙂
He’s also been counting – to TEN! But he’s sneaky about it. I’ll hear him mumbling something or another and then realize that he’s counting his fingers. Or the blankets on the dresser. Or something else like that. And if you ask him to count, he’ll put a grin on his face and say something like, “One…three….eight…” Lil’ stinker 😛 I DID manage to get him on video…however, it was at bed time and I just happened to have my Flip in my pocket and turned it on…so you can’t really see anything. (And as soon as I turned on the lights and tried again, the little bugger put that grin on his face…)
(15 seconds)
And just something fun…Logan has a rocket ship that Aunt Kahki gave to him for Christmas (he just *loves* the thing!!). Nanny Jessica has him push the button for the countdown and then launches him.
(22 seconds)
…as you can see, he doesn’t really like to be video taped 😉
Nanny Jessica also has picnics with the kids:

Even though Logan is technically little, he doesn’t see it that way.
(27 seconds)
He also thinks he’s big enough to use Burke’s scooter…
(38 seconds)
If you only have time for one video, I highly recommend the first one 😉
And some pictures to go along with it…
Muscles!!
