On Tuesday, Logan turned 10 months old.
I am in the process of packing up Logan's 9 month clothes. He has officially moved into all 12 month clothes. It is really weird how I grow so attached to some outfits.
Developmentally, it has been a big month for our boy. He started crawling the day he turned 9 months old and has perfected it over the past month. He moves very fast on all fours now, something the dog is not enjoying. When there is something that Logan really wants to get to, like Rocky or the open fridge, he eyes the object, puts his head down, and goes as fast as he can. He also started sitting himself up which is great because he does not depend on me sitting him up any more. In addition, Logan started pulling up on the furniture.
Speaking of Rocky, we did not know how he would respond to a baby in the house. He has done pretty well, usually tolerating Logan. However, sometimes he seems rather annoyed by the crawling baby that constantly wants to crawl on and love him. However, I saw a new side of Rocky on a recent walk. We encountered another dog on the walk and Rocky and the dog checked each other out. Then the dog went to check Logan out. Rocky made a beeline for the stroller, putting himself between the dog and Logan. He also let out a low growl. It was very surprising to me. I guess he feels that he can be annoyed by his brother, but nobody better mess with him.

Logan had two more teeth come through this month. Both are on the top. One is just right of center which descended very quickly. The other one is two left of center and is taking a long time to come in.

Adding to his bag of tricks this month, Logan learned how to do “so big.” When I ask him “how big is Logan,” he will throw his arms up towards the sky as I say “so big.” He does not get it every time, but enough to let me know that he knows how to do it.
Logan has fallen in love with all things doors. It does not matter if it is a bedroom door, cabinet door, or closet door. He loves them all.

He has also come to really love all touch and feel books. He will sit for a long time with one in his lap, just running his fingers over the textured parts on each page.

In just the past week, Logan had his first fever. He was just two months shy of making it through his first year without a fever. My poor sick boy!
Logan continues to eat new foods and even new textures. This month, in addition to new veggies and fruits, Logan started eating cheeses. His favorite is cottage cheese, but he also likes string cheese. He is getting better with chunks of food so I am able to introduce foods he has loved in a new way. He has also learned how to use his sippy cup instead of just using it as a toy. He still plays with it, but he also knows how to get water out of it. Now if only he would learn that you are supposed to swallow all that water and not spit it out, then we would be golden.
