The Florida Belts

Logan has been quite a busy baby over the last month!  He is now on his second week of rice cereal and is finally getting the hang of it.  Yesterday he finished his bowl (1/2 Tbs cereal + 2 Tbs liquid) and more of it seemed to go in his mouth then on the bib!  Next week I will likely add a fruit or vegetable to his diet and see how that goes.

He is continuing to do well at daycare and they are constantly telling us what a big boy he is becoming.  He’s staying awake longer now and can hold his head up enough to go in the excersaucer.  They have also started to try to give him more time in his crib for naps during the day.  It sounds like that is going pretty well.  He’s started staying awake for the ride to and from daycare now.  During the ride he tries to talk and suck his thumb at the same time, which turns out to sound like humming.

Logan in his Jumperoo

Last weekend we bought Logan the Fisher Price Precious Planet Jumperoo at Walmart.  He absolutely loves it.  His little feet can barely reach the floor, but he kicks off with his tippy toes and bounces around.  He can spin the colored ball in the front and is mesmerized by all the lights and music that are triggered by his movement.  He hasn’t figured out how to turn his seat yet, but I imagine that isn’t too far away.

We estimate that Logan is probably about 16.5 lbs now.  He’s still sleeping 12-14 hours at night and only takes a couple short naps for us during the day.  He has started to find his voice and will occasionally start screaming just for fun.  He loves kisses and songs and likes to get carried around on a tour of the house.  He enjoys watching his mom cook and has plans to be a good chef one day.  His favorite word is “Ooooooo-riginal”, he almost always smiles and laughs when you say it and has even been known to say “oh” after you say it to him.  He doesn’t like getting his hair washed or having to wait for food to be prepared.

This weekend we plan to get his photo taken at JC Penny Portaits at the mall near our house.  We’ll be sure to post those pics once we get them.  I’m still trying to figure out what we will all wear!
