Logan is 8 months old

Logan 8 months old- March 27, 2016

Size 3 diapers
12 month sleepers, 9mo separates for clothes, but 12 month size for anything one piece
Guessing around 21 pounds maybe?

Nursing- 4 times a day, when he wakes up, around 11:30/12, around 4pm, then at bedtime 7:30ish. He is finally consistently sleeping through the night for 12+ hours WITHOUT waking up!! Hooray!! (Minus a couple nights this week after turning 8 months been up around 3am teething pain?!??)

Logan takes 3 naps a day on school days (2 one hour and 1 two hour nap) and typically 2 longer naps on non school days when he can sleep in past 8am.

New Foods he tried: Strawberries, honeydew melon, whole milk yogurt, brown&white rice, tofu, chicken, turkey

I haven't found a fruit or vegetable baby food that he won't eat yet. Not a huge fan of tofu or avocado.

Logan is signing "all done" and we are working on "more" and "please" for now he just keeps opening his mouth excited for food when he wants more.

Logan is waving "hi" and mimics the sounds with shrill noises that sound like he is saying "hi" too. Last week he also started waving "bye" and even one time when Mike was talking about "it was almost time to go" he started waving. It is so cute to see him starting to understand words.

Understands the word "no" and responds to it by crying or shaking his head no.

Is loving a Sippy cup with water! He has finally figured out how to do it without me tilting it back and is rather pleased with his accomplishment. He has also figured out how to drink out of a straw!

The past few weeks he has begun pushing himself up into a sitting position from laying down and often find him sitting up waiting for me in his crib after nap time.

Crawling everywhere. Occasionally knees up, but his most preferred method is the army crawl because he is quick!

Trying to stand and pull up and loves standing with assistance often!! Starting to see some temper and opinions forming when he doesn't get his way. Oh boy, Here we go...

Learning how things fall to the floor and don't just disappear. He is practicing this new knowledge by knocking Cheerios to the floor on purpose and watching where they fall. 😐

Balloons are the most exciting thing and he gets crazy excited about them! He also loves when his Daddy comes home from work and greets him with squeals and smiles.  And the new "dada" word referring to his Daddy!









Logan is 7 months old

Logan 7 months (belated post saved from my phone a month ago!)

Weight: guessing around 20lb, no clue on length
Clothes: 9 month and also 6-12 month, 9 month sleepers (about to move up to 12mo pjs)
Diapers: size 3
Shoes: size 2

Foods he has tried:
Pears, blueberries, pumpkin, corn, blackberries, avocado, pineapple, raspberries, spinach, peas, sweet potatoes

Blueberry puffs
Sweet potato puffs
Cheerios
Pancakes

He got his second tooth, bottom right on 2/14

Logan is army crawling to get places, loves attention from strangers and family, loves to laugh at his big brothers, is in general very happy and mild tempered. He loves playing peekaboo and playing with a ball with his big brothers. He is totally distracted these days when nursing if anyone else is around and I have no luck keeping him from noticing the TV when the boys watch a show no matter how many toys are around. He gets very excited when Daddy comes home and calls for "momma" when he cries.

Logan slept thru the night for the first time the night before turning 7 months old, but generally is still up once overnight. Mom needs to get brave and let him cry it out overnight because I know he can sleep better than he has been most of the time. I guess since I know he is my last baby I am baby-ing him with a few extra snuggles and cuddles at night which I do love (if once and not 2-3 times overnight), but makes me pretty tired some days.

He is learning to use a Sippy cup with water and gets so proud of himself when he figures it out. It has a suction spout so he has to suck to get anything to come out. He mostly still plays with his cup however.

Saying "momma" when he cries or calls for me. Other babbles of baba, dada, etc.
