Then I we went to pick Logan up from daycare. Unfortunately, for some reason, he didn&#8217;t nap at daycare. I have no idea why (slightly annoyed by this) so of course he finally fell asleep at like 4:30.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-56089\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_1016.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_1016.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_1016-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Anyways.
