Logan's official 6 month update!

Every month or every other month I sent out an update to friends and family on how Logan is doing. Here is his update from today. (Yes - I am being slightly lazy and just copying and pasting! Oh well...)

Yesterday marked Logan's 6 month birthday! Time sure does fly! He is doing fantastic... honestly amazes Nathan and I each and every day. He has been eating cereal for about a month now and we have started adding veggies to the mix. So far just sweet potatoes and squash, but tomorrow or Friday we'll try something new. He is loving it! He often gets overly excited and we have a bit of a mess on our hands, but alls well that ends well. Logan has been sitting up on his own now for a good 3+ weeks now and as of January 30th he can roll from back to belly. He is officially mobile! There have been numerous times that we find him not where we left him! It is all good fun until he runs into the couch or chair and can't figure out that rolling the other way will free him.

He had his 6 month check up today and the doctor is no longer age adjusting him for his preemie status! I think they will keep an eye on him developmentally and such, but for now he is right on target. He weighed in at 16 pounds 2.5 ounces (50th %) and was 26.5 inches long (75th %). We looked at his weight at birth... 5 pounds 3 oz and he was in the 5th % when not age adjusted... he is growing like a weed! The doctor was very pleased and gave him a clean bill of health saying he was "perfect!" I, of course, agreed! The doctor said we can attempt to give him soy formula and see if he can tolerate that. We shall see. Many babies who have a milk protein intolerance also have a soy protein intolerance. Time will tell. It won't hurt him to try soy so we are going to give it a go!

He is a very very happy boy and is all smiles and laughter. It seems that mommy is the best at getting him to laugh and daddy is the best at putting him to sleep. He is doing really well at daycare when he is there and very much loves his time with Grandma Hunt on Mondays and Wednesdays. We are going to start working on his strong desire for night feedings. For the longest time he was only waking up once a night, but he is back to twice a night. GOOD TIMES!

Well that is about it!

Here are some pictures from Logan's 6 month birthday party and just some other random ones taken in the past month or so. Enjoy!
