Crawling

I am learning to crawl and I think it is so fun. I cannot wait to fly speedily around the house chasing down my dog Oliver. I grabbed him by the ears this week and now he hides from me a little bit. I really like to pet him and grab his tail.

I am a baby shark

Here I am in my Halloween costume. I am fierce!

Adventures of Logan

Logan went to Barnes and Noble with Gigi and Geebo today. He had a great time exploring the children's book section, listening to Rafi with headphones on, and chatting to everyone in sight in Starbucks.

He came home with a new book - Max's Halloween. Logan is very excited about Halloween because his shark costume came home from the store this week. He likes to chew on the shark teeth. We are all looking forward to the Halloween party at Mike's office and with our PEPS group to see all the babies in their gear.

Logan loves his grandparents and regularly talks to his grandpa on the phone. He is now over his stranger anxiety. Today he unabashedly licked grandma on the cheek to say good-bye.

Scooting, Rolling, and Playing with Gigi

Logan is spending his fourth week with his lovely grandma as his caregiver during the day. We have decided to teach him to call her Gigi. He is having lots of fun with her and is always super happy and smiling when we get home.

In the last few weeks he has begun to scoot a little bit - both forwards and backwards. He also is mastering his ability to roll all directions.

This week he rewarded us with a full grown-up style laugh that charmed everyone around him. He also recently won a cute baby contest for a local radio station. We are so proud of him!

He speaks

Logan has begun cooing. He seems to like to showcase his newest skills at 3 a.m. when I come in to feed him. This morning he was happily chatting to me and to the sea creatures on his mobile when I walked in to get him. So much more rewarding to be cooed at than to have a crying baby.

Logan rolled over

Logan rolled over for the first time at 6 weeks old on May 31st. We are completely impressed at his early skills! He continues to roll over from his belly to his back whenever he can get a good foothold to initiate the flip. We can only imagine that rolling from back to front isn't too far off. He is definitely on the move.
