Age: Nine months
Weight: 20 lbs (55%)
Height: 27 3/4" (23%)
Head: 45 1/2cm (64%)
Eye Color: Blue with a greenish ring around the center.
Hair: His hair is long all over. It is light brown with a hint of a reddish tone in the sun and feather soft. It is filing in with new baby hair starting to grow.
Clothes: He is wearing 9 months or 12 months most clothes. 9 month pajamas & 12 month clothes.
Diapers: He is in size 4 diapers.
Milestones: He is army crawling all over the place! He has started waving bye-bye! I love it! He raises his hand up and opens and closes his fist. It is pretty much the cutest thing! On the day he turned 9 months he made a tongue clicking sound to his pops. They were doing it back and forth. His two bottom teeth are coming in. The first one started coming in weeks ago & then went back down and took a long time to finally poke through. Then the second tooth came in right along beside it. His top two front teeth are pushing against his gums making them swollen but it will be a while before they come in.
Sleeping: He usually sleeps from 10 to 11 hours during the night without waking up. He has been getting sleepy by 7:30pm & is usually asleep in his crib by 8pm. His naps are tough right now. He usually only gets one good nap in the morning or afternoon and a second very short 20 to 30 minute nap. He is still fighting going down for his nap in his crib. He will usually cry and fuss for a while before finally getting to sleep.
Eating: He is still breastfed. He eats about 4 oz per feeding (of pumped milk while I'm at work). He has one meal of baby food each evening. He eats in his highchair and sits at the table while we eat dinner. He loves eating and gets really excited when he is eating one of his favorite foods. His favorites are still sweet potatoes, carrots, & squash. His least favorites are bananas and apples. I think he doesn't like the tartness of the fruits because he makes a terrible face and sticks out his tongue when I try and feed him fruit.
Activities: Logan continues to get more and more fun everyday. He loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse while he plays with his toys. He sits on a rug or blanket and will play with toys, crawl around, and be content by himself or with Barrett for a while. He loves his cousin Barrett! He has started to love his jumparoo again. He can get anywhere in his car walker and goes from room to room all over the house. Usually he ends up against my legs. He will crawl completely across the house to get to me (scoot on his belly really). He will also crawl to get to Snoopy and has grabbed Snoopy's hair and tail a few times. Hopefully I can keep Snoopy from biting him! He LOVES to play with hair...my hair, Jacob's hair, Snoopy's hair, his own hair, and pretty much anyone's hair who holds him. He is still so ridiculously ticklish. He loves strolling around anywhere in his stroller. He smiles at everyone and has started to "flirt" by smiling and then acting shy by burying his head in my shoulder when people talk to him. All you have to do is look at him, talk to him, or sing to him and he smiles. He is starting daycare on Monday April 28th for the first time. I'm nervous but I'm sure that he will love the interaction with the other babies.

Height: ?
Head: ?
Eye Color: Blue with a greenish ring around the center.
Hair: His hair is long all over. It is light brown with a hint of a reddish tone in the sun and feather soft.
Clothes: He is wearing 6-9 months or 6-12 in most clothes. 9 month clothes fit better but are a little long in the legs & 6 month clothes are getting short in the legs and sleeves.
Diapers: He is in size 3 diapers.
Milestones: He has figured out that it is much easier to roll than to crawl. He will roll across the room and back but not crawl to get something that is just out of reach. He has started saying "mama mama mama" which totally melts my heart. I know it's just babbling but I LOVE IT! He occasionally makes a raspberry sound. I'm told that is a speech milestone. He occasionally will "high-five"...which consists of me holding my hand in front of him and after asking over and over for a high-five he will eventually stick his hand on my hand. It's a start though!
Sleeping: He usually sleeps from 8 to 6 during the week without waking up. He takes two naps a day each for at least an hour. His afternoon nap is sometimes 2 or 2 1/2 hours. He is still fighting going down for his nap in his crib. He will usually cry and fuss for a while before finally getting to sleep. Hopefully someday he will realize what an AWESOME thing it would be to get to nap everyday ;-)
Eating: He is still breastfed. He eats about 4 oz per feeding (of pumped milk while I'm at work). He has one meal of baby food each evening. He eats in his highchair and sits at the table while we eat dinner. He loves eating and gets really excited when he is eating one of his favorite foods and attacks the spoon while I feed him. He has also started making a fussing sound if I take to long in between feeding him bites, but the second I pick up his spoon he opens his mouth ready for the bite. He is now eating stage 2 baby food. His favorites are sweet potatoes,carrots, & squash. His least favorites are apples and prunes...he only had prunes once and wasn't a fan.
Activities: Logan gets more and more fun everyday. He has started shaking his head back and forth with a big smile on his face when he is excited. He does this the most when he is getting his diaper changed & when he sees Barrett. He is still so ridiculously ticklish. Sometimes when he's in a ticklish mood I can't even touch his back, his side, or the top of his head without him laughing and burying his face into my chest or shoulder. His focus has really improved. I can sit him up on a blanket or in his room with a couple toys in front of him and he will play with them by himself for quite a while. He loves his sports car walker & can get around okay in it. He still gets stuck or ends up against the window pulling on the blinds so I have to keep an eye on him, but it is handy when I need to cook or clean. Recently he has started crying when I pass him to his babysitter. He will stick out his bottom lip and look so sad. But as soon as I am out of sight he is happy again. He might be a little bit of a mamma's boy. He has really started to love to play in his bath. He will splash and rock back and forth in the water. He also wants to stick his hands under the running water & will occasionally lay back and relax while playing with his toy boats. He is almost always content while strolling around anywhere. I can take him to the mall, store, or a restaurant and he is so good. He smiles at everyone & he is always sticking his tongue out when he smiles. Oh how I love this little guy!
