9 Months Old!!

My baby boy is 9 months old as of Valentine's Day. He is just the sweetest little guy ever. He is changing every day it seems. Growing to be such a fun, independent little dude.

Here is what he is up to at 9 months:

• still wears size 4 diapers
  
• weighs 21 lbs 14 oz (75%)
• is 29 inches tall (75%)
• wears size 12 months jammies, 12-18 month shirts, and most pants are 12 months

• has started eating Gerber 3rd foods.....he is not too sure about the chunks though. Sometimes he gags :)
• eats four 6-8oz bottles a day
• sleep pretty well.....more often than not he sleeps through the night
• was really sick for about a week with a really BAD cold and ended up with an ear infection. He even had his 1st high fever (103 degrees)....SCARY for Momma!

• Loves puffs, Gerber lil' crunchies, diced pears and peaches, bananas, apples, graham crackers, noodles, Cheerios, Nutrigrain bars, whole grain waffles with cream cheese, yogurt, french fries, mac n' cheese, toast, and cheese
• still doesn't like veggies much (unless they are pureed...then he will eat any kind)
• pulls up on EVERYTHING and even has started cruising the furniture
• loves to help Momma do the laundry

• is obsessed with his refection in the mirror. He will babble and kiss the baby in the mirror for hours we let him
• can say "Dadda" now....dad is very excited about this
• can also give kisses when asked (and by kiss we mean he comes at you with his mouth wide open, tongue out and slobbers all over you)
• is starting to really like books

We just love this little guy more than we ever imagined we could!! He is our whole world and cannot imagine our lives without him in it.

8 Months Old

WOW.....where has the time gone??? My baby is now 8 months old as of the 14th!!! He is is no longer a wee little baby. He acts so much more like a toddler these days. He changes everyday I swear! He is at such a fun age. He wants to be able to do so much and he is finally able to do some of those things :) We just love watching him learn and figure out new things.



Here's what Logan is up to at 8 months:

• weighs somewhere around 21 lbs (will know for sure at his 9 month appt on Feb. 14th)
• Wears size 4 diapers
  
• Now wears all 12 month clothes. He can fit is 9 month onesies though
  
• Started getting up on his hands and knees and rocking 12/20
• Said his first word....."Momma"!! (1/8/11) It is not completely clear and more like a mumble but sounds just like Momma
• Officially started crawling (1/10/11)

• Now eats breakfast, lunch, and dinner
• He eats, puffs, Gerber Lil' crunchies, diced peaches and pears, yogurt melts, cooked carrots, baby goldfish, cheese, pasta noodles
• Still working on the sippy cup. He now tips it but just not as much as he needs to. He will get it eventually

• Was waking up anywhere from 2-6 times a night. But we just switched his crib sheet to a velour one and he now only wakes up 1 or 2 times a night. I think the cotton sheet was too rough, he would wake up with really red bumpy cheeks. Not anymore :)

• LOVES playing with his toys.
• Babbles all the time now. Especially when he is playing...real cute!
• Started pulling up on any and everything. No cruising the furniture yet :)
• He LOVES that cat. He chases and corners her all the time. Poor kitty HATES it!!

• He is a crawling machine. He follows us EVERYWHERE!! Loves when we open the fridge, so he can check out what is in there :)

He loves his bath time with Dadda

7 months old!

On December 14th Logan turned 7 months old! I just cannot believe it. He is changing so much these days. I just love it. He is such a sweet and happy guy. He is learning so many new things. It is so much fun to watch him grow and learn.

Here's what Logan is up to at 7 months:

• He now weighs 20lbs
• Still wears size 3 diapers but soon to be in size 4
• Wears 9 month and some 12 month clothes
• He LOVES his new bath seat

• He loves to eat too!! He eats 4 bottles a day along with rice cereal and a fruit for breakfast and rice cereal and a veggie for dinner.
  
• He has mastered sitting up on his own. He still hasn't figured out to catch himself if he starts to fall though.
  
• Had his 1st Christmas with Bryan's Mom on the 11th. He was spoiled and received lots of great new toys. He loves them all!
• He has started waking up a lot at night. He just seems to want to play!
  
• Is learning to drink from a sippy cup. Still hasn't figured out that he has to tip it to get anything to come out.

• He has started mumbling more this month. Still working on him to say "Momma or Dadda"
• Still loves his jumparoo. Although he is starting to get too big for it.

We leave to go visit my Mom tomorrow. It will be Logan's first plane ride. I hope he will be good on the plane and not have problems with his ears or anything. We will be gone 10 days. It will be a nice vacation. We can't wait to experience Logan's first Christmas. He is going to be so spoiled again from my family. They just can't wait to meet him finally in person.

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.
