Yes, one year. My baby boy is one year old. He is looking more and more like a little boy everyday instead of a baby. I cannot believe how quickly the first year of his life has gone by. I am guessing that it only speeds up from here.
With Logan’s 1 year birthday, came his next doctor’s appointment. He weighs 20 lbs, 2 oz and is 30 inches long. In comparison, he was 7 lbs, 5 oz and 20 inches at birth. His weight has dropped off a little in percentages to just under 20% but his height has stayed steady at 50%. The doctor continues to be impressed with his development and always has complements for how well behaved he is during the exam. Logan received 4 shots today. Boo! But he did very well with them.

In the past month he has mastered four words: ball, bye, momma and dada. His favorite is dada which he will babble all day and then say it with meaning once Matt gets home from work.
Logan started giving kisses a few months ago, but he was very selective with when he would give them out. Now, he gives big, wet, slobbery kisses all the time. When I am sitting on the floor, he will cruise over to me via the ottoman and just plant a big one, or three, on my cheek. Love it!
The boy loves to clap. He will clap when you ask him to or when you say the phrase “good job.” He will also clap for himself when he is proud of something he has just done. He also frequently claps while eating. I think he is applauding the meal I have just made for him.
Along with clapping, Logan started waving bye. He will do it when someone has left the room and says “bye.”
Adding to his party tricks is a demonstration of love for a stuffed dog we call “Doug.” If you ask Logan “Do you love Doug,” he will crawl over to him, face plant on the dog and rub his face in the dog’s body while kicking his legs.
Logan enjoys “walking” around the house. He loves to hold on to a finger from each one of your hands as he guides you all around the house. When he finds Rocky, he usually lets out a noise of excitement and speeds up.
Developmentally, Logan continues to learn new things. He has become a problem solver. It is so much fun to watch him figure out how to solve a problem. As a one year old, his problems usually consist of how to play with a toy in one specific manner. He is also developing more hand-eye coordination. He places the rings back on the base and places his stacking cups into one another. He will usually clap for himself once he has done one of these tasks.
Logan is starting to become a sharer. When eating Cheerios, or “o’s” as we call them, he loves to share them by feeding them to me. However, he usually will not share his cheese. He loves his cheese.
Logan is eating more and more “grown up” food. It is nice to not to have to make as much baby food. But, he has also become a more finicky eater. Things he loves one day, he will not touch the next. Also, sometimes he will not try new things. I am hoping it is just a phase.
