Logan for President

This was a busy campaign week in Wisconsin, with the caucuses on Tuesday.
If babies could run for President and they could win delegates based on growth percentiles,
we think Logan would stand a pretty good chance!

THE STATS (a.k.a. The Votes):
Weight 20 lbs - 90th percentile
Length 28.5 inches - 97th percentile
95th percentile for head size

Monday was the big 6-month appointment and we are thrilled to report Logan is thriving and growing into a very healthy little boy! Yes, he has achieved the 20lbs mark! Unbelievable!

Some of Logan's newest and most exciting tricks and talents:
-Sitting up and rolling over (we sometimes find him playing on his tummy when we go in to get him out of his crib in the morning)
-High-pitch squeals and giggles, Saying "Hi!" (without knowing it!)
-Reaching for toys that are far away and grabbing them with one hand
-Grinding his teeth (eeeek!)
-Standing while holding onto something for support
-Recognizing more faces and voices and turning toward the sounds around him
-Reaching, reaching and grabbing, grabbing, grabbing!

That little belly will keep on growing because we got the go-ahead for all kinds of baby food! Next week we'll start alternating pureed vegetables and fruits, one week at a time.
This is going to be so much fun because Logan is so enamored with cereal...
I can't wait to see what he does with more flavorful foods! I think we're going to start trying a sippy-cup soon, too! Gosh, that all seemed so far away 6 months ago, and now its already here!


I had to post this picture because if you enlarge it, you can see Logan's top teeth!
We have officially counted SEVEN, yes, SEVEN teeth!
After two months of non-stop teething, I think we may get a break.
Logan has three top teeth and four bottom teeth. So, basically, he looks like a toddler.
Its really cute, though!


Logan was not a big swing baby. He once in a while liked it for a while, but usually preferred the bouncer for his chillaxing.
The swing is still in his room, so once in a while when I'm putting clothes away, Logan hangs out in the swing for a while.
I thought these were pretty cute pictures, but it was after his bath and cereal and before bed, so he was pretty sleepy.
