Monday Pictures-Week 24

Oh these boys. They just keep getting older and changing all the time. I swear the last week was more like a few months with all that went on. We took a day trip to St. Louis, made our first (past due) visit to the Bomer household, celebrated Kyle's birthday (and Kevin's), rang in the New Year, and enjoyed a lot of time with Daddy and Grandma and Papa. Along with all the activity of the week the boys also kept us on our toes. Their schedule is changing and I've been trying desperately to figure things out like why nursing is suddenly so difficult and how many times a day should they really be eating. Transition times are not fun and I'm quite sure we are in the midst of a transition to a 3.5-4 hour schedule as compared to the 3 hour schedule we'd grown quite accustomed to. Thankfully this week Logan has been sleeping better and I'm happy to say I haven't slept on the couch with him in more than a week. He occasionally needs a hand on his back in the middle of the night and a pacifier to help him fall back asleep, but he's making progress. In fact that pacifier thing is kinda new. Neither boys was using one but all of a sudden Logan seems to like his. Also new is that Schaeffer is scooting or army crawling. He can get pretty much anywhere or anything he wants. There are times he seems so close to officially crawling. Schaeffer also growls. I don't think this was new as of this week, but it's still pretty new. Perhaps it's because Jack growls at him so often. Both boys have also started actually jumping in the jump-a-roo. Sometimes Logan really gets going and it scares him. Logan hasn't really shown signs of mobility like Schaeffer. But I figure it won't be long before he realizes his brother can move and he can't. Schaeffer has also started being able to sit for seconds at a time. Perhaps some of their new toys will encourage them to sit more. We shall see.
