I've been really bad about doing monthly posts on Logan, so here's Logan from the last couple of months. On December 13th he was five months old. At his four month appointment, he weighed in at 14 lbs. 4 oz. and 25 1/4 inches long. In the last month he has started laughing a lot more. He's so ticklish and really cackles when you tickle his thighs. He really belly laughs sometimes too, it's hilarious. He is such a happy, smiley baby. All you have to do is make eye contact with him and he starts smiling like crazy. There has been several times now that someone has told me he's the happiest baby they've ever seen! For the most part he's a very easygoing baby. We are often on the go and you sometimes forget he's there because he's quiet and just goes with the flow. Even when he wakes up from a nap, I won't even know he's woken up until I see him moving in the monitor. When I go up to get him he's just smiling and playing with his feet and never made a peep! Except for an occasional nighttime wake up, he sleeps through the night and lately for 12 hour stretches. On the days I have to work, I will often go in and get him up for a feeding before I go to work and he'll go back to sleep. He has recently settled into a pretty good nap schedule. For about two months he was doing the 30 minute catnap thing several times throughout the day. However, he finally in the last few weeks started taking a long morning nap, a long afternoon nap and usually a short evening nap. I looked in Izzy's baby book and she did the same exact thing. She did the 30 minute catnaps for a couple months and just like Logan, she started on a good nap schedule right at five months. He's still a very good nurser and eats about every 3 hrs. I'm pumping on the days I work and he's doing good taking bottles for Daddy, 8 oz of breastmilk at a time. We've done rice cereal a few times and he's not very fond of it. He makes faces and actually gags on it! I'm thinking when we introduce baby food he'll really love it. He has started grabbing at toys and holding on to things. He's very alert and follows us with his eyes as we move about the house. He loves to watch his big sister play and act silly. His new favorite trick is blowing raspberries with his mouth, silly boy :) He's such a precious baby and I feel such a strong mother/son bond with him. Thank you God for blessing us with Logan Jeremy :)
