Logan @ 6 months

Logan is our happy baby.  And by that I mean he is the sweetest, happiest baby in the world as long as his tummy is full of milk and his Mother is either holding him or giving him her undivided attention.  He loves me.  He will be perfectly content playing and then I will walk in room, he will see me and then start crying for me.  (This is usually accompanied by the "mad face" as referenced in my previous post.)  It is precious, but not always convenient for me.

Here are some highlights of his personality right now:

*He is starting to love playing with his brother.  Even though Stockton isn't always the nicest older brother in the world, it is so fun to see them beginning to play with each other.  Stockton will act silly and Logan will just laugh and laugh.  It is nice having a extra person around to help entertain him.
*He loves milk in any form, whether its breast milk or formula, but he does NOT like eating from a spoon.  He will do it, but he definitely lets you know that he is not enjoying it throughout the entire process.  Fresh pureed mango is about the only thing that he seems to enjoy eating.  He must just have very exotic taste.
*He hates getting dressed.  This also includes diaper changes.  He gets so happy when you take his clothes off and wiggles and squirms as much as he can when you try to put them back on.
*He is temperamental.  He goes from 0 to 60 in a split second.  He can be happy, just laughing and smiling and if you do something to disrupt this, he will let you know about it.  I think he is going to be our yeller, because he sure knows how to yell already.  And by yell, I dont mean cry really loud, I literally mean YELL.  Its like he is telling you where to go and how to get there.  I won't make any speculations about which parent he may have inherited this quality from.
*He likes me to sing to him.  Whether it is a soft, quiet song or a fun, upbeat song, he just loves it.  I tried singing to Stockton when he was a baby and to this day if I try and sing to him, he just gets annoyed.  But Logan loves it and that makes me happy.
*He is really wanting to MOVE!  I dont think crawling is too far off for this kid.  He is definitely trying to figure out how to get his body to do what his brain is telling it and once he does he is going to be a mess of trouble.  He doesnt know how to sit still.  The only time he will let me sit down and hold him without squirming is when he is ready to sleep.
 *He is finally learning to SLEEP.  Apparently all we needed to do this whole time was force him to sleep in his crib instead of with us.  He had to cry it out one night, but ever since he has pretty much been sleeping past 6am before waking up to nurse and then going back to sleep until after 8!  It has been so nice compared to the last 6 months of waking up every 3-4 hours to feed him.
*He loves his blankie and pacifier just like his brother.  I actually tried to get him to choose a stuffed animal as a comfort object instead of a blanket so I dont have to keep track of TWO blankets everywhere we go, but he loves his blanket, there is just no way around it.

*He has a smile that melts my heart everyday.  I love how he just opens his mouth as big as he can and lets out the cutest little "coo" I have ever heard.  Not only is it his smile, but there is a kindness in his eyes that just radiates.
