Shopping Baby

Logan is so cute and is doing such a good job sitting up that he can now ride in the cart when we go grocery shopping.

Logan has the cutest laugh. He is very ticklish and it is adorable. I just can't get enough of him laughing.

6 Month Check up

Since Logan is now 6 months old he had to go to the doctor. He was very cute at the doctor's office and loved to play with the white paper they make you put the babies on. He thought it was great that it was all crinkly and he didn't want to let go when I had to move him to be weighed. He weighed 16 lbs. 13 oz (might be more, he kept holding onto things) and was 27 inches long and his head was 17.5 inches around. He was sitting up on the table on his own for about 10 minutes while we were waiting for the doctor. The doctor came in and said he was doing really well sitting and then check him out and said he looked really good. He is still having problems with his eyes (clogged tear ducts) so we will probably end up taking him to the eye specialist. He can now start on fruit and should have fruit and cereal for breakfast, then veggies and cereal for lunch and dinner. All the other feedings will still be milk. He got 5 shots which he was not happy about (forgot to give him Tylenol before) but seemed to recover pretty quickly. We came home after the appointment and Logan and I took a nap together. I honestly can't get enough naps together. They are the best. He cranky later in the evening while Mike-e was at school but cheered up as soon as Mike-e got home. He probably just missed his daddy. He is a really good baby and is hardly ever cranky.

6 months old

Today Logan is 6 months old. It's hard to believe that so much time has gone by and he is getting so big. I look at pictures from when he was born and he almost seems like a different baby. We went to the zoo to celebrate his half birthday. It was a lot of fun and Logan did great. We went into the bird house and he liked watching the big toucan. I feed him rice cereal and veggies afterwards and then we hit up the aquarium place. He really likes to watch the fish especially the clown ones. It's really cute watching him. He also wanted to touch everything. I remember the first time we took him to the zoo and he just slept, or the time after that when I tried to breastfeed him there and he was just cranky and wouldn't eat. He has developed so much and is such a joy to have in our lives.

Day off

I took today off from work and it was a really great day. We didn't really do anything just stayed inside. What made it a really great day is that Logan took a nap on me. I know that sounds kind of silly but when Logan was born he would sleep on us all the time. As he got older he would move too much and wouldn't go to sleep if you were holding him. Today I was holding him and he just rested his head on me and slept for about an hour and a half. When they are this little they really don't hug you when they are awake so it's nice when they do it in their sleep. I love being able to spend time with him. He is the best baby and I'm so lucky to have him in my life.

Sweet Potato goodness

Logan has been eating veggies for about a month now. Tonight I was making a sweet potato for me and decided to take part of it and mash it up for Logan so he could get used to the texture. He didn't like it as much as the store bought baby food but I think it just needed to be mixed with some water or breastmilk. Probably was just too thick. He was really cute eating it though and made a huge mess.

Garden of the Gods

Today we went to the Garden of the Gods down in Colorado Springs. It was a perfect day for it, since it wasn't too hot. We walked around and watched the climbers for awhile. I really miss climbing and hope we get back into it soon. Logan was like a little climber himself and loved touching the rock. He really likes different textures.
