9 Months

Logan,
This month has been one of the best months yet! Over the last 4 weeks you have learned many new things: climbing the stairs, standing up on your own (a minute or so at a time!), sleeping through the night, taking your first steps with the help of grasping a leg, piece of furniture, toys, you name it. I love watching your crab crawl but know those days are drawing to an end, as you are learning to take your first steps. You clapped for the first time, although you're still trying to get your coordination down- you're doing a fantastic job! You love to be tickled- though you have always loved this we have learned a new "sugar spot" that really gets you going! You're so ticklish, and it brightens anyones day who hears you belly laugh!! You LOVE the animals, cats, and doggies, you love them all. You light up when I walk into the room, after being away at work. You say "aye", as if to say "hey" sometimes. You LOVE music- my little musician in the making! You LOVE to dance to any and all music that you hear-whether a commercial on tv, a toy, while riding in the car, lullabies, you love it all! We enjoy our "quiet time" each evening, and put our nose in a good book before bedtime. You're such a people watcher, and "learner". We watch classical poetry together, and you love love this! Sometimes you bounce around in your crib like a little spider monkey while I attempt to change your diaper! (Sometimes this takes me 15 minutes) You so enjoy bathtime- and even dance in the bath when I sing silly songs! Grammy and I still give you baths in the kitchen sink sometimes-and you love it. You weighed 18 lbs and measure at 29 inches tall! Growing like a little weed.

I couldn't be more proud of you son, Mommy loves you SOOO much!

"I love you more than anything in my whole life."
