Wow - Logan is already 11 months old! Time sure does fly when you have having fun and raising a baby!!! Logan does more and more every day. Where to begin...
His absolute favorite time of day is bathtime. As you can see, he has the best time and plays and plays. He loves to pull the drain up and watch the water drain out. He also likes to stand which we are working on keeping him from doing. We work on his holding a cup and drinking from it also while he is in the tub because he still will not hold a cup or bottle on his own. He has to be in the right position to do so. He'll get there though!
He is on a pretty great schedule right now. He usually wakes up around 7 and has his bottle. Then has his breakfast and goes back down for his morning nap around 9. Then, he gets up around 11 for another bottle and a veggie for lunch. Around 2-4'ish (depending on if we have to get Dylan from school) he goes back down for his afternoon nap which lasts about an hour and a half. Then he has another bottle and dinner at 5:30. Next is bathtime and he goes to bed at 7 each night. It is so nice to have him on this schedule and it really gives me time to plan my day and spend time with Patrick and Dylan at night!
During the day, Logan loves to crawl around and play with all his toys. He is so great at entertaining himself. His favorite toys are his little house, firetruck, anything with balls, and for sure the remote or telephone!
Here he is chewing on our phone and he did manage to call Stanley Steemer one day for me. That was quite embarrassing. He even had them on speaker phone. I know it is my fault for letting him play with it though!
We also pretend we are talking to daddy during the day. This picture shows Logan holding the phone "up to his ear" talking to daddy. It was kind of weird because right after we were pretending to talk with daddy on the phone, daddy called and he really got to talk with him.Logan loves to talk and hear people on the phone. He can't quite figure out how they get in there though.
Logan loves to push his firetruck around the house (and anything else that is mobile). He does have a temper, so when he runs into something and can't get the truck moved to where he can continue moving, he tends to scream. We are working on sign language right now. He has signed "more" so far and we are working on several others. Our goal is to teach him to communicate with us by signing rather than screaming.
Santa brought Logan this little house for Christmas and it has been a wonderful addition to all his toys. His favorite thing on it is the doorbell. And when you press any button, shut the window, open the door, etc., usually music will play and Logan will dance. It is so cute to watch him just bounce up and down to the music. The only bad part is when he gets other toys playing music at the same time - it would give you a headache!
One of the sweetest things Logan does is when he is in bed. He loves his paci's. He sleeps with a bed full of them. He likes to have one in his mouth and one in each hand. We will watch him on the monitor sometimes and he will just roll around in the crib with those paci's and trade them in and out of his mouth, play with them, and then sometimes he likes to throw them out. He knows though that when he gets out of his crib he has to leave the paci's in there. He is really good to throw them down either before I pick him up or while I stand there, he throws them down and we hope they land in the crib. Then we walk over and he pushes the button to turn his music off. He pretty much points at everything all the time now, so it is pretty easy to just guide his little finger to the button.The other day we were at lunch and Logan kept trying to chew on the table and Patrick kept pulling him off and telling him "no." Well one time, Patrick pointed at him and was getting on to him about it and Logan just pointed back at him and was yelling something jibberish. It was so funny. We are going to be sooo bad the older he gets. It is really hard not to laugh at all the cute and funny things he does - even if they are not appropriate.
Logan,
Happy 11 months!
We all love you and look forward to all the great things we get to experience. You truly are a blessing in our lives and we love you so much!
Love, Momma, Daddy, Blake, and Dylan
