It's never been that big of a deal for James and I to run out and grab a bite to eat or catch a movie... but with the arrival of Jude things got a little more complicated. Sure we've gone out bunches of times and just brought him along - but we wanted some alone time this past Friday night. Hence we were plunged into the world of the scheduled "date-night." Planing in advance, lining up the sitter, making sure you're going to get back at a semi decent for baby, get the bottle ready, yada, yada, yada... Once baby was in the arms of Shannon, we were flying high and headed to the Cheesecake Factory. We had just found a parking spot when we got "the call" (you know the one with the screaming child in the background) someone decided that they weren't interested in taking their bottle (this was shocking b/c he's never had a problem with this before but apparently he wasn't in the bottle mood that evening). Not wanting to abandon our hopes of an evening out on the town, we said please keep trying!!! Needless to say after a few other phone calls we ended up back at the Logsdons to pick up our son who had now been screaming for over and hour and twenty minutes!! James and I packed him up and tried the bottle again but what a little stinker - he wouldn't do it. As we were driving home, tummies growling, I said "well, I guess we could pick up some burgers or something...." James: "yeah, but I really just wanted Cheesecake...." Jess: "...me too..." James: "aw, heck, lets just do it!" So we took the now sleeping baby to dinner with us to the Cheesecake Factory after all - and we still had a 40 minute wait at 9pm!! Oh but it was SOOOOO worth it!
(And Shannon don't worry he hasn't wanted to eat at 7 since! I stretched his feedings 4 hours apart now and that seems to have helped! So he really does love you I promise!)
Many of you have been requesting more baby pics - hope you enjoy the slide show!! Baby is now 4 months old and just started sucking his thumb!! It's so cute to see him finally find it after weeks of sucking on that fist trying to lure it out!

So funny! I love the pictures! Can't wait to see him and you!
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! You made my night. I'll call you soon. Love to see him and I love the last picture of you and him together!
Thanks so much for the pictures. HE is just SO cute!!! I love his smile!! Sorry about your date night...I guess you still finished it just with the baby!!! Babies make you learn to be flexible! Hopefully I will see you next week!! I am coming to VA with my mom and Megan!
Great pictures!! He really looks like you. :) We have yet to leave Katelyn with anyone other than Grandparents. (It was just for an hour to go across the street to Starbucks.) I leave her with Russell for an hour, once a week, while I get a massage and adjustment. Let me know if you would like me to watch Jude sometime. Also if you're ever in this area come on over for coffee.
I LOVE all of the new pictures! It is so nice to see him so happy and handsome :) I am so sorry about your date night- I am glad that you guys made the best of it and went out anyways :)
I LOVE all the pictures. You do a great job of capturing him and all his little faces.I don't think you needed those hints from the scapbook mag you already do a GREAT job! My pictures pale in comparision, but I'll try to e-mail them to you anyway. We had a blast today with you guys. Thanks for coming over!
oh date night....hmm...yes! sorry but it seems like it ended well! :) I LOVE ALL THE PICTURES!! he definitely takes after you! keep 'em coming!
You'll have to ask Bethany about the first time she and John babysat for Krista (and they had two year old, want my own way Kayla too) when Krista was 5 weeks old and Dan and I went to our Sunday School Christmas party. Krista wouldn't take her bottle -- no idea why. And she dirtied all three diapers I had sent along so when I got there, she was diapered in a towel. I think we provided some good birth control that night.
Cute, cute pictures!
such cute pics! these is my worst fear! graham is getting to the stage where he seems to know if someone other than mommy is feeding him or putting him down for a nap. :( the training begins!
