Logan at Six Months

Logan turned six months old last Friday and also had his check-up visit with his doctor.  Logan is actually looking like a normal six month old these days instead of the mammoth child like he did when he was three months old.  He weighed 16.75 pounds ( 38th percentile) and was 27 inches (65th percentile).  He is actually smaller than Nathan was at this age!  The doctor said it was fine that he hadn't grown as much in the past two months because he must have just had his growth spurt early.

Logan did really well getting his shots and only cried for a few minutes.  Luckily I had taken Nathan with me and no one can cheer up Logan like Nathan can.  Logan was screaming and crying so Nathan  climbed up on the table and started pulling funny faces at Logan.  Logan just busted up and started laughing at his brother at that was the end of that.

He did pretty good too as far as shots go.  He had a fever and looked pretty punky and just slept but by Sunday afternoon he was our little guy again.  His legs didn't get swollen like they have before because he moves and jumps so much now so that helped a ton.

The Dr also gave us the green light to start Logan on foods so he got his first taste of sweet potatoes.  To say he liked it better than the rice cereal was an understatement.  First time trying it and he ate the entire package and cried for more!

Logan is now rolling over from stomach to back and back to stomach and is so close to sitting up that I think he will have it any day.  He is working on the backwards scoot and can make it about halfway across a room before he gets so mad and frustrated because he isn't going forward. He is also talking up a storm and loves to hear himself make noises.  He isn't shy and will give anyone and everyone a big huge grin.  He has also learned how to give big open mouth slobbery kisses which are the best ever!

Logan is sleeping a good solid 10 hours at night and it would probably be more but we have to wake him up in the morning to go to daycare.  He is an awesome napper and we can usually get three good two hour naps out of this kid.  His personality has just been exploding lately and I can't believe what a fun, loving, happy baby he is!
