Doc Band Design

So we had all of these great ideas to decorate Logan's helmet - but then things changed. After reading others blogs about how much time and energy is spent painting the helmet I decided it wasn't a project that I wanted to commit to for the next 4 months. Also, the time is passing more quickly than I realized. He has already been in it for over six weeks. Then with all of that, I wasn't able to find the stickers that I wanted and didn't want it to end up looking cheesy. I wasadamantly against the plain white helmet but now it's growing on us. I played around with one little design after seeing a sticker I liked but we only kept is on for a day or two. The helmet is working wonders though.

He is hardly ever in this little pack-n-play so he was pretty fascinated with the netting.

He's mastered tummy time and rolling over.

His perfect little head is getting it's shape back.

Logan's First Tooth

On June 16th Logan's first tooth finally came in. The poor little guy was waiting for weeks for it to finally come through. Once the gums opened though it popped right up in about a day. It's the bottom right (his right) side. Since then, the second (bottom left side) has also come through. Hopefully the others will here shortly and the sweet little thing can get a break from teething for a while!

The tray holds all the tools that have helped him successfully get his teeth out.

No chance of taking pictures of his teeth. This is the face we get when we tried.

Height Prediction

Have you ever heard that if you measure a little boy when he is two and a half years of age, then double his height, that's how tall you can expect him to be as a grown man?

Well, we are going to try it. We measured Lincoln when he was exactly 2 1/2. He was 38 inches tall - making him 6 feet 4 inches tall as a grown man. Unfortunately that's only tall enough for him to be a guard in the NBA verses a forward or center. I guess we better work with him on dribbling in addition to shooting. Who knows we will wait and see if the myth is true for Lincoln.

We did start his training when he was just 8 months old.

This is his second basketball hoop (from infant set up to toddler hoops) at a year and 5 months old.

If he isn't tall enough for the NBA then we could always go with baseball. Given all of the Spring Training Fields, it's a big thing around here.
