Logan Aaron Dudley

Logan was baby C through out my pregnancy, but turned into baby B during the c-section only because that was the the side the doc was standing on! Logan needed help breathing when he was born. He was on a ventilator for about a day and then on and off the nasal cannula for a few days until he figured out how to breathe on his own. He never needed any extra help after the first few days and came home with his brother and sister after only 10 days in the NICU.





After we got Logan home he had a hard time with reflux. We did not know what was wrong at the time and it was almost 4 weeks before we saw the specialist. It was heartbreaking to hear him cry and be in so much pain. He was held a lot and he even slept on my chest while I reclined on the coach for several nights as that was the only spot that he would get comfortable. I was very thankful that we got the reflux under control with medication and he became a much happier baby. My only regret was I did not push to have him seen sooner! We were able to take him off the medication at 10 months and he has been doing great since!

Logan has been the first one to sit, crawl and even cruise. He is now working hard like Will on walking. He was last one to start getting teeth at around 10-11 months and still only has 4. He has three on top and 1 on bottom. whenever he eats he spills a lot because there are no teeth on bottom to help food stay in his mouth. This does not deter him and I think he is one of the better eaters. He just has peach fuzz for hair and when Dave introduces the kids he tells people to just remember - "Logan - lack of hair" LOL!

We call Logan "bear" because a while back he started to growl like a bear and he still tries to hold his bottle with his feet just like a little bear cub would do! He is a very determined little guy and gets upset when he knows what he wants but can't get his body to comply. I almost forgot - he was the first to start climbing onto the couch and now he is the fastest at it! He has not been talking much, but has recently started to vocalize a lot more. He has learned to clap his hands and do the sign for "more". He has a great smile and I love to hear him laugh! I can't wait to see what he learns to do next!

Here are some random photos taken through the year to close. Enjoy!
