Thanks to Jo (and I guess Nancy really), I took a few minutes to write down what Logan is like at one. Jo has one that Nancy wrote about her which I thought was so sweet. I figured I would add it up here because
1. It's a practically already written post
2. If the crummy notebook I wrote it in is ever destroyed, I will have an everlasting copy here. (Lucky you, Logan)
Motor Skills: Not yet walking but very close! Pulls himself up easily and cruises along furniture and people. Is a very fast crawler. Loves opening and closing drawers and door. Is able to hand us things when asked. Holds onto a cup and spoon. Easily turns the pages in his books.
Language: Says "mama" and "dada" but not consistently. Responds with "yeah" at times when questions are directed at him. Says "da" for dog. Understands a lot. Will go to me when Trevor says "Where's mama?" and vise versa. Is able to identify a variety of his toys when we ask him to get particular ones. Follows simple directions like "Give it to me". Crawls to his closet, opens the door and stands next to the drawer with the fish food when we say "Time to feed fishy". Loves squealing and yelling and using his voice. Also loves to growl:)
Eating: Has yet to find a food he doesn't like! (Although, full disclosure, after writing this he tried salmon for the first time which was not a hit) Still breastfeeding 3-4 times a day, plus his 3 "meals". Self feeds finger foods and holds onto a spoon but not able to use it yet. Still figuring out his sippy cup. Loves taking sips from an open cup and drinking from our water bottles. Just started drinking from a straw.
Favorite things: Sleeps with a blue knit blanket from Great Aunt Jan every night. Loves looking at books. Enjoys being outside and when inside, loves looking out the window to see what's going on outside. Loves dogs and anything related to dogs. Loves the water and taking baths.
Personality: Is such a sweet and loving little guy. Is generally happy and easy going. When he does get fussy it is usually quickly fixed by a diaper change, snack, change of scenery or a snuggle from mom. Is very curious. Can be a bit of a bulldozer some times, crawling over any and everything to get to what he wants and determined not to stop until he gets it. Is showing signs of a little independent streak. Likes to make us laugh with silly noises and faces. Likes to be the center of attention and will laugh and yell to get people to look at him if he thinks they are not paying attention to him. Is beginning to show some signs (?) of being more cautious but has been pretty fearless up to this point. Loves giving us hugs and kisses (open mouth of course) and is affectionate and loving.
