6 months

On November 14th, Logan turned 6 months old. I just cannot believe it!! He is growing up SO fast. I swear every day he changes. I just LOVE this stage he is in. He is doing all sorts of firsts. He had his 6 month well doctor visit on Wednesday (12/1). The doctor says he is developing great. It is good to know that he is right on track.


Here is what Logan is up to at 6 months:

• wears size 3 diapers (size 4 night time diaper)
• wears 6-9 month and 9 month clothes. He actually fits in some 12 month stuff too.
• eats 4 bottles a day (4-8oz per bottle). He sometimes eats a bottle and then will refuse his next one.
  
• eats 1oz of rice cereal with half a jar of fruit for breakfast and eats 2oz of rice cereal with half a jar of fruit and a jar of veggies for dinner. He LOVES eating solids. We have yet to find a food he will not eat yet. Some veggies he doesn't like at first but will eat them the second time we try to feed them to him. We have found he likes the veggies warmed up a little :)
  
• Can now sit up on his own for long periods of time before falling over

• Rolls all over the place. Just tonight he was on his play mat playing and we went to make him a bottle and came back and he had rolled into his closet.....2 feet away!!
• Still LOVES his Jumparoo!! He plays in that thing all the time. He can now turn himself around to play with all the toys on it. He even fell asleep in it the other day :) Must have tired himself out with all the jumping

• Sleeping good in his crib. He is starting to sleep through the night more these days. He still has some nights where he wakes up but all we have to do is give him a pacifier and he falls right back to sleep.
• We have started using the next size car seat in my car (Britax Boulevard). Logan seems to like it so far.

• He now has TEETH!! His 2 front bottom teeth came in right before Thanksgiving. He did pretty well with the whole teething thing. He was a little cranky, but that was is it. Did have to give him Tylenol often to help with the pain at night. LOVE to see him smile with little teeth. (I tried to get a picture but no luck. He won't even let me really feel with my finger)
• He LOVES to crinkle and rip up paper. He laughs and just thinks that is the funnest thing in the world!
• As of his doctors appointment on 12/1: weighs 18lbs 10oz (75%), 27 inches long (75%), and his head is 45.8cm (95%)....BIG head boy!!

"Here hold my keys Mom"

• Starting to learn to drink water from a sippy cup. He grabs the handles and puts it to his mouth but has not figured out that he has to tip it to get the water to come out....so mom has to help him tip it! He is learning :)
• He thinks it is fun to throw EVERYTHING on the floor.

He loves my phone....probably not a good thing

• He still smiles ALL the time. Especially when mom or dad get home from work. He squeals when one of us comes in the door.
  
• He laughs all the time now too. Bryan is really good at getting him to belly laugh. His little laugh is the best sound EVER!!

He is at a very fun age right now. It is so fun to see him learn and experience new things. This is the best month so far. I am sure I will be saying that as these next months pass too. I just can't wait to see him grow. He is such a happy little guy these days. I just LOVE waking up to his smiling face everyday.

Christmas Cards

I have never sent out Christmas cards in the past. I am not really sure why. However, now that we have Logan, I would love to send some out. I now have someone cute to put on the front :) My mother-in-law even did a little photo shoot of Logan just for Christmas cards. I plan on using Shutterfly for our Christmas cards this year. I have been browsing their website for a couple months. They have lots of great cards. I have a few friends that have ordered prints from them and they have turned out GREAT!! So, I thought why not give them a try myself. Plus, they are offering 50 free cards to anyone that blogs about them. You can go here and see the details. Who can turn down such a great offer especially since their cards are so cute!! There are lots to choose from. I spent a hour the other night just looking at them all.

Halloween 2010

I know this is EXTREMELY late, but I was just able to upload the pics from Halloween onto my computer. Even though Logan was only 5 months this Halloween, we still bought him a costume and took him downtown trick or treating. Well, he actually just rode around in his stroller watching cousin Ty walking down the sidewalk in his bear costume. Logan dressed up as a CUTE little monkey. He was adorable. I can't wait until next year when he will be able to walk and actually go to the door to get candy :)

First pair of Big Boy jammies!

5 months old

I know this is really late but on October 14th, Logan turned 5 months old!! He is growing and changing every single day. This past month he changed and learned so much. He is becoming such a BIG boy!!




Here is what Logan is up to at 5 1/2 months:

• wears size 3 diapers
• wears 6-9 month clothes, and some 9 month jammies
• had his first cold followed by his first ear infection (Oct. 4) Sick babies are NO fun :(
  
• absolutely loves his jumperoo! He can actually jump in it now and just squeals with delight when you put him in it

First time meet great grandma and grandpa Puckett

• can reach for toys and grab them really well now
• loves to sit or stand on our laps
  
• smiles all day long
• likes to do this HIGH pitched scream....surprised his throat doesn't hurt at the end of the day
• jibbers and jabbers all day too, especially when he first gets up or when you are putting him in his car seat
• really likes the cat. He likes to scream and talk to her too :)
• loves oatmeal and bananas!! Have not tried any other fruits yet but think we will try apples next

• Still loves taking a bath. It is his and daddy's fun time together. All they both do is laugh the whole time....very cute!
• laughs at everything these days. You can just make a funny face and he will laugh. His laugh is the cutest sound ever!
• now sleeps in his crib and not in his swing (Oct. 22)
• rolled over from his back to his belly for the first time (Oct. 23)
• no longer sleeps through the night ever since he was sick. He is getting better, but still wakes up a few times during the night. It was like having a newborn all over again for a few weeks.....very rough on mommy and baby!

• eats less formula now that he eats oatmeal and bananas at lunch or dinner sometimes
• weighs 16lbs 10oz as of Oct. 14th....growing so fast!
• can now sit for small amount of time on his own. Does really good if you put a boppy pillow around him to hold him up :)
• He doesn't really like his bouncy seat anymore. He is always arching his back and trying to wiggle out of it. I think he just wants to be able to move on his own so bad!

Frolfing with Dad

I know there is lots more that I am forgetting, but this is all I can think of right now.
I just cannot wait to see what the next month has to bring. He is just the sweetest boy ever!! I am so excited to wake up to him everyday. We just cannot imagine life without him! He means the world to us!

Mom and Dad love you Logan :)
