8 Months

Logan was 8 months old a couple of weeks ago.  October has been a busy month of Grandparents visiting, pumpkin patch going, and a trip to Merrill, Or. to see Ricky's family, a new baby cousin, and to go to the annual Potato Festival (where William and Logan as well as cousins Audrey and Charlie were in the Potato Festival Parade - pics to follow).  I just have not had a chance to post.  I have also been working on both Logan and William's Halloween costumes (hint: both will be Superheros) which I am almost done with (pics to follow as well!).  I have found that projects take a lot longer to complete with the constant interruption of two active little ones!

Onto our little 8 month old.  Logan is VERY active and mobile.  Ricky and I are a little concerned because we thought we had our hands full with his big brother.  Little Lo Lo can get around and he might just give his brother a run for his money.  At 8 months, he is crawling, pulling himself up on everything, has two teeth, is eating solids, and is babbling.  He is such a fun little guy to be around and has a smile for everyone.  He has started with the separation anxiety which I never really experienced with William.  Logan does not really want to be held by anyone but his Mama.  :)  It is most of the time endearing but there are times when even Mommy needs a break and it's a little embarrassing when someone wants to hold him and he cries (especially when it's a close friend or family member!).  We've also noticed that Logan does not seem to be a fan of crowds.  When there is a room with lots of noise and people, he seems to get stressed.  While William is pretty outgoing, maybe Logan will be a little more on the shy side?   It will be fun to see how his personality develops the older he gets.  He is down to two good naps a day but night sleep is still a little rough (up at least 2 times a night still to eat, sometimes more but I think that might have to do with some teething issues).  I think we'll be working on that within the next couple of months.  :)

I just can't believe how fast the last 8 months have gone and in about 4 short months, we will have a one year old!  Slow down time!
