Buck Grunt

I haven't posted in a while...mainly cause not much has happened at the Meyer Ranch. Here's a quick review of our week so far.

Sunday
The family made the long trip to IKEA to get closet organizers. The trip was wildly successful. We found three closet organizers and all the cool different options you could want in a closet organizer for only $773. Dad hasn't had time to put them up yet, but at least they're here. Then we just hung out at home and had a little family time. We hung some of our pictures on the walls so it's really starting to look like home again. It was kind of like Christmas here, I had forgotten some of the pictures we had and was very excited to see them again.

Monday
Mom and Logan hung out at home and recovered from the weekend, taking a couple naps and just doing little odds and ins around the house. Dad had softball practice and then tech club after that so he didn't get home until close to 9.

Tuesday
Logan and Mom visited with Grandpa Steffen in the afternoon. Then we made the trip to Walmart and picked up some things for the house...nothing too exciting. I did finally get a cookie jar though, so Mikey will not be disappointed in me the next time I make cookies. Dad had his first softball game of the season that night. Unfortunately they lost, but it is the first game so I'm sure they'll turn it around before the season's over.

Wednesday
Logan and Mom just hung out at home. Dad brought the rest of the boxes upstairs for us so Mom finally went through them. Mostly books and picture frames. Then when Dad got home from practice he declared Wednesday nights family nights from now on so we just hung out as a family and watched the Twins game.

Not much going on today, but tomorrow we're going to go hang out with Aunt Debbie and cousin Stella for the afternoon. It will be nice to get out of the house and have a change of scenery for a while.

So you might be wondering about the title for this post. While there are two names Mom likes to call Logan and "Buck Grunt" is one of them. You've heard of babies crying themselves to sleep...well Logan grunts himself to sleep. The following video gives you just a taste of the grunting he does. His is a play-by-play of our late night feedings. Logan grunts around in his bassinet to wake Mom up. Mom picks him up and takes him out to the living room to change his diaper so we don't wake Dad up. Then mom feeds Logan. After Logan's belly is full mom wraps him up in a blanket and Mom rocks Logan until he's asleep. Once Logan is sleeping Mom carries him back into our room and puts him in his bassinet again. Then as soon as mom gets back into bed and gets comfortable, Logan starts grunting. He's not trying to poop or get farts out, he's just grunting for the sake of grunting. It's actually kind of funny, but it's hard to find the humor sometimes at 2:30 in the morning. He'll usually grunt around for about 5 min and then fall back to sleep. So the video below I took during the day to give you just a taste of the grunting he does. At the end of the video he starts crying...this usually doesn't happen in the middle of the night, but sometimes it does...



The other name Mom calls Logan is "Pee Pants". And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why I call him that...he hasn't gotten mom in the face yet, but he has watered the plants that are near his changing table and we sometimes go through three outfits a day because of old pee pants...

You might also be wondering about the pictures of Logan in the laundry basket. This is where Logan gets to hang out when Mom takes a shower in the mornings. Mom turns on the fan in the bathroom and Logan just looks around while Mom showers. I figured the laundry basket was better then just setting him on the bathroom floor.

Ok, this is what I wanted to post yesterday, but needed to upload the video...for some reason it's not working...I'll try to upload it on Saturday and post it then...sorry...
