Logan’s New Friend
I found this super cute puppy at Makana Mother & Baby the other day and thought it would be the perfect friend for Logan (even though he already has 3 real dogs waiting for him at home)! Marcella, one of Logan’s nurses, told us about a NSCU mom who had taken a picture of her preemie next to a stuffed animal to show how small he was. We thought that was a great idea!
Since Logan was born in the year of the rat, Lance wanted to take a picture of him next to a fake rat . . . needless to say, mommy quickly vetoed that idea! 
 We compromised & decided to look for a Ratatouille stuffed animal at the Disney Store, since Remy (the main character in the movie) is a rat. Before ever making it to the Disney Store, however, I laid eyes on this cutie!
Logan’s new furry friend is 15″ long . . . Logan was 11 3/4″ long when he was born. I think Kassie (Logan’s favorite nurse) said that he’s now 13″ long, but I’ll need to verify that . . . after soo many hours in the NSCU, my brain is just a little fried! 
We were worried about whether Logan would tolerate being photographed with his new friend . . . he’s not exactly fond of people messing around in his isolette! Since Logan loves Aunty Kassie & always behaves for her, we waited until she was on duty. On the night we took this photo, he was resting comfortably on his tummy (his favorite position) & sucking happily on his pacifier . . . the conditions couldn’t have been better! Luckily, Logan decided to cooperate & posed nicely for daddy!
