January 2008 - Sitting up like a big boy

1/18/08 - Logan is finally 6 months old!!!!! We went for his 6 month Dr visit today. He is "perfect" the Dr said! He is 20lb 10oz (96%), 29.5"(99%) and head is 96%. We figure that he is almost half as tall as Mommy and Daddy! HA HA HA 

1/3/08 - Well we made it to 2008. I never thought we would get here. So many milestones to achieve this year. As you can see in the pictures, Logan wanted to make sure he had one trick to demonstrate in 2007. He is sitting up now. It's like he woke up one day and said - "Hey - I can sit up". I absolutely love it. He balances himself really well. he doesn't really know what to do with himself yet, but he knows he likes it better than lying down! We had a great Christmas! Lots of fun toys and books and clothes! Unfortunately he was sick the whole week that mommy was off work.  He had 2 ear infections and went thru 2 antibiotics that did not agree with his stomach so we had to discontinue them. Luckily we went back today for a follow up and his ears look great. He still has some congestion, but seems to be a very happy baby again. He handed mommy PLENTY of sleepless nights over the past week. I never knew sleep deprivation could be so damaging to a person. He still wakes up for his bottle in the middle of the night and I think this week he is going thru a growth spurt because he can not get enough to eat. His eating times are all out of whack and vary by day depending on how his night goes. He is however eating 3 meals a day now along with his bottles so hopefully it is a matter of time before he starts backing off of the bottles and maybe lets go of the middle of the night bottle. His menu now includes pears, apples, bananas, green beans and carrots. next up is squash, sweet potatoes and peaches. Any mothers out there have ideas on how to get him to sleep soundly at night, I am open for suggestions!!! He has fussy periods almost all night. Most of the time a quick replacement of the passy fixes it, but it becomes very tiresome on mommy. I would really love him to start sleeping on his tummy, but he has not mastered the roll over yet, so I am hesitant. In fact Grammy, Mamaw and Ben have all seen him roll over, but not mommy! I want to see it so badly! He just fusses and gets himself so worked up that I end up flipping him over myself. He has become quite the mama's boy. I can't wait to hear those first words and they better be MAMA! ha ha ha If he says DADA then DADA can start getting up with him at night!!!! ha ha ha Well I better get to bed. Sleep when he sleeps right????? Happy New Year to everyone and we hope to see you all in 2008. Logan goes for his 6 month check up in a few weeks. I know - can you believe it! I have already started thinking about his 1 year birthday!!!
