Eight Months!

This past month has been a month of growth and change for Mr. Logan. The biggest news is that he is now MOBILE! Yes, I said it, Logan started crawling. A couple days before turning eight months, Logan started a very slow crawl, but he is now all over the house. He loves chasing Avery and Scout and is happy because he can now get to mama whenever he wants. I love having a mobile baby, but know this is just one more indication that my sweet baby is growing up.
Another fun milestone is that Logan can now sit up by himself from a lying down position. At first, it was funny and frustrating because Logan would sit up in his crib, but then didn't know how to lie back down. Now that he is able to lie back down, we all sleep better at night!
Finally, Logan started pulling up by himself. He loves standing and walking with assistance. Before long, I know he will be walking all by himself. We just love this little guy. Seeing his smiling face each morning makes me such a happy mommy.
At eight months, Logan:
  • Loves cats.
  • Thinks his sister is the coolest person on earth.
  • Has two teeth.
  • Wears a size 2 diaper.
  • Weight between 15 and 16 lbs.
  • Hasn't found a food he dislikes.
  • Eats cheerios and puffs.
  • Drinks water out of a sippy cup.
  • Has developed slight separation anxiety.

Birthday Celebrations

For Avery's second birthday, we decided to skip the big birthday party and instead spread her birthday celebrations out over a couple weekends.

In mid-June, Luke's family came to Columbia to celebrate Avery. Luke's Grandparents and Aunt Amy even made the trip from Michigan. Avery loved seeing all of them and even made Grandma jealous by willingly saying Amy's name over and over.


Unfortunately, I had a work meeting on Avery's actual birthday so we chose to pretend her birthday was a day earlier. Luke and I woke her up singing "Happy Birthday", took Elmo cupcakes to her school, took her swimming and opened presents. It was a perfect day. (Thankfully, Aunt Jen was off work on Avery's birthday and took Avery to the science center, lunch with uncle Joel and out for ice cream. I think Avery had a perfect day!)

Finally, we celebrated with the Greene family the first weekend in July. We had pizza, cake and presents on Saturday night and went to Grant's Farm on Sunday. Although it was brutally hot and I spent most of the day in the gift shop staying cool with Logan, Avery had a blast at Grant's Farm. Her favorite part was playing with and feeding the goats
