Logan - 7 months

Can you believe Logan is already 7 months!  On October 7th, Logan turned 7 months old.  He’s getting to be such a big boy now and has had all sorts of accomplishments this month.

He finally rolled over for me!  I was getting his bath ready and he was laying on the floor on his back.  One moment he was just looking around on his back and the next moment he was on his tummy!  I got to see the whole event and it was very exciting for me!

Logan started getting his teeth brushed this month.  Well…maybe I should say tooth brushed.  That’s right, Logan cut his first tooth.  I noticed it on September 30th.  He hasn’t appeared to be in too much pain.  He is still sleeping through the night, although he was a bit more fussy last weekend.

Grocery Store

Logan has been tooling around town this month as well.  He had his first trips to the grocery store, furniture/appliance store, and the park.  He seems thoroughly entertained to visit new places.  I typically carry him around in the baby bjorn facing out and he just takes it all in.  Afterward he just passes out in his car-seat on the way home.

Logan is continuing to do well with his solid foods.  He actually opens his mouth in anticipation of the next bite now.  He’s cut down on the thumb sucking during meal times which has made the whole event less messy.  This month he’s tried green beans, prunes, and bananas.  He also retried carrots and now seems to like those.  There doesn’t seem to be anything that he doesn’t like to eat, but I did find that the order you feed him certain foods seems to matter.  For example, he doesn’t want to get pears followed by green beans, but he will do green beans and then pears.  So I’ve learned to save the sweet stuff for the end of the meal and then he does fine.

Logan with Giraffe

He’s continuing to improve on sitting up unassisted.  He like to sit up and then reach out for toys in front of him.  Sometimes he ends up tipping over, but for the most part he can keep himself up.  He really likes to stand up on his feet.  He’s now figured out how to take steps forward while holding your hands.  He really thinks it’s fun.  He’s especially grabby these days and seems to grab onto anything within reach.  He even manages to pull my hair despite the fact that I got it cut soo short.

He has definitely started to notice Wrigley more and he thinks she is soooo cool.  He is always trying to reach out and grab her and he always starts to giggle when Wrigley licks his face.  Wrigley has been very tolerant of Logan grabbing her hair and pulling it out.  It’s always great to see Logan with a handful of dog hair as he goes to put his thumb in his mouth…yuck!

Fisher Price Chair

Logan still loves his jumperoo, he’s finally figured out how to grab the parrot and get it in his mouth.  He’s probably been planning that for a month now!  His favorite toy is his giraffe .  He’s finally started to appreciate those hanging toys on his Fisher Price chair.  He enjoys sitting up, standing up, kisses on his tummy, he thinks it’s especially funny if you pretend to eat his hands/neck/belly/toes/etc, he likes his car seat toy, and still really enjoys songs/singing.  Logan is such a well mannered baby, and he still rarely cries.  It’s hard for me to think of new things he doesn’t like, but he still doesn’t like to get his hair washed or wait for food to be prepared.
