The Florida Belts

On September 7th, Logan turned 6-months old.  It’s hard to believe a 1/2 year has already gone by.  Once again everything checked out great at his baby well visit. He’s continuing to grow and the preemie weight and height chart are now things of the past. It doesn’t seem possible that he was born 4 lbs 10oz, once you look at these numbers!

High Chair

Jumperoo

Logan is doing great with his solid foods. We got him a Fisher Price Precious Planet High Chair at Babies R Us last week. He’s eating a solid food meal three times per day now, breakfast and dinner with me, and lunch at daycare. So far he’s tried peas, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, pears, and peaches. His favorite is sweet potatoes, and his least favorite is carrots. He recently started insisting that he is able to feed himself. With each bite he grabs hold of the spoon and put it in his mouth. He’s still working on that whole aim thing, but he’s definitely having fun figuring it out. He is still a thumb sucker, and he makes sure to suck his thumb between each spoonful of food. It gets messy, but I have to admit, it’s a bit adorable.

He is still loving his Jumperoo. Wes and I agree that so far that is one of the best investments we have made. He will jump around in that thing for 20 minutes or more if we let him. He has so much fun, he screams and laughs, and then he jumps like crazy. It’s really so much fun to watch. He gets extra excited to watch his daddy bounce and dance around, I think that’s Logan’s favorite thing to do now.

Football Sunday

Sitting Unassisted

Logan saw his first football game with daddy on the first football Sunday of the season.  They were both glued to the television.  Logan is able to sit up unassisted very briefly. After sitting for a short time, he sort of just folds over and eventually will do a face plant into the ground. He’s started reaching out and grabbing for things that he wants now. He will pretty much grab anything in his reach and then try to put it directly into his mouth. He hasn’t started cutting any teeth yet, but he is starting to drool a lot and likes to chew on your knuckles and bite his fists. He’s figured out how to grab and take off my glasses now when I get up real close to him. He still loves being showered with kisses, and will start to giggle when kissed on the neck or tummy. He is still babbling a lot and will sometimes wake up in the middle of the night/early morning and just talk and squeal in his crib before falling back to sleep. He often talks his dad’s ear off on the way to daycare telling some fascinating story only he understands. He’s grown past his previous favorite word of “Oooooo-riginal”, and now is just happy to see familiar faces.

We finally got the 5-month pictures we took at JC Penny back.  To take a look at the photo album click the link: Logan – 5 months old.
