I am out of energy to post this, but here goes …
The main thing this month, of course, was our trip to Japan which took up almost the whole month when you include adjusting to jet lag. I don’t know how much fun Logan had – it was quite an adjustment, but there sure were parts he liked, most especially watching all the trains go by.
Logan has also been teething his canines this whole month which has also made him cranky. He has also gotten very clingy (probably related to the trip to Japan) and wants me with him pretty much all the time. When we go to Nursery, he holds me in a death grip, even though we stay for the whole thing every week. I also tried to wean him cold turkey, which didn’t go so well (mostly for me physically), but we are down to one or two times a day and that is going well and is probably fine till we move. He still asks more often, but he knows I will say no.
Logan is just a boy now. He doesn’t seem too much like a baby and has seemed to outgrow all his baby things. No more sippy cups, no more baby toys, no more baby clothes (only 2T now – the 18 months show his belly). He still has a cute baby run, but even his baby chubbiness is fading away. He even is starting to lean more towards non board books, as long as they have his beloved trains or trucks in them.
Logan basically wants to play one, or maybe two, things all day every day. The train set. He is still too little to really put the pieces together, but he will bring the pieces to you one at a time and grunt and squeal until you put it exactly where he wants it. And then, in playing, he is constantly knocking them over, so it is building up and down and up and down for hours. It is a little tiring. He is so excited when the boys wake up and he can run in their room and get his train.
He also likes to play cars and run them down the race track or sometimes drive them around the house. But only after he has exhausted his train love.
Logan is talking more, but still not tons of words. He has all our names down and cat and Joe and no and yeah and nurse and truck and car and more and all gone. He has cute expressions where he puts out both his hands palms up to the sides to show he can’t find something or doesn’t know something.
Logan is still a good eater and won’t sit in a high chair (well, won’t sit anywhere confined – think shopping cart – unless it’s fun), though halfway through dinner he likes to come and sit in my lap and finish eating that way.
He likes to scribble a bit and read a bit, but mostly trains. And Seth – he has really latched onto Seth the last week or so. And he wants to hold Seth’s hand and have Seth follow him – to play, to the bath, to eat, etc. He wants to do everything that Seth does and it is SO cute. He even was trying to pee standing up like the boys do – though I don’t think he gets that their peeing, but by golly, he’s going to stand in front of the potty and push his clothes around because that is what the big boys do.
Logan is starting to develop his compassion and when his brothers or parents are sad, he will go over and hug them a lot and kiss them. It’s very sweet.
Fun Things This Month
- JAPAN – many many blog posts later, need I say more.
- Dentist appt. No fun, but Logan sat and cried while they cleaned his teeth. One step forward.
- Concert at library. Logan danced away while the rest of the jet lagged family fell asleep.
- Puppet show at library. Logan was pretty interested, but too timid to sit up front with Andrew and Seth.
- Butterfly house. Logan loved watching the butterflies flit by, but was a little scared of them.
