Major Milestone!

(Update to this:  Logan made it through the second night too, fingers crossed on the third and beyond...Also, Cate needed her own video too, so we took this own of her today playing with her (and his) favorite toy - a helium balloon.)

Not much time for a lengthy update as I’m in between two travel weekends with the NASCAR season starting up, but since we hit a major milestone last night I figured I had to go public with it…For the first time since birth, BOTH Cate and Logan “went the distance” last night by sleeping all the way through from roughly 7pm to 7am!  While Cate has been going the distance for about a week or so now (with the exception of occasional nightly trips to put her pacifier in), Logan still required a nightly 4am feeding – until now.  I told Catherine to consider it a Valentine’s gift from her son.  Who knows whether this was just a one-time fluke or a sign of things to come, guess we’ll find out tonight, but either way I consider it progress.
Here are some favorite recent pictures and a video, larger update coming soon...Happy V-Day for now! 
Trip to the Mountains for MLK, as you can see, Logan was not too pleased to be woken from a nap to take this picture at sunset.

Logan "riding along" with me on leaf sweeping duties...Might as well start training him early on doing yard work. 

Logan loves laying the wrong/front facing way in the Poppy pillow, see video below for just how much he enjoys it.

Meanwhile, Cate is perfectly content just lounging on her back surveying the scene.

Cate likes sitting in it the right way (almost like it is a throne with arm rests), and occassion sits up in it.

This a good depiction on how play time tends to go, Cate on her back on the play mat and Logan perched over the Poppy.
