logan grace(6 months).

you are 6 months old and i can't quite get used to saying that.   fastest 6 months ever, faster than your brothers first 6 months.

i hardly remember what life was life without you.  you fit perfectly in with us.  you make having three kids very easy.

you weight 14 lbs 11 oz.   5th percentile, thank you very much.

you are starting to wear mostly 6 month clothes now.  i'm always shocked they fit, you're my little peanut, those clothes seem way too big when i hold them up!

you sit up like a pro.  you sat for the first time on your 5 month birthday.

lane always calls you logan gracIE.   i sometimes forget that your middle name is just grace and call you that now too.   other nicknames for you are "missy miss", "peanut", "skittle", and "girlie girl."

you now get mad if i take something away from you.

we haven't started solids yet.   i keep saying, "maybe tomorrow."  so, maybe tomorrow?

your hand control is crazy good.

you love paper.  maybe i should consider paper being your first solid.  you seem to have extend-o arms and reach for whatever paper is around and eat it up.   at church you throw a fit if i take the bulletin away.

you giggle when anyone sorta bumps your hands & feet up & down.

and every time we're on the steps with your brothers, you laugh.

if a towel is on my hair you stare and stare.

when i hold you, you curl yourself into a little ball & snuggle into my neck & shoulder.   its so sweet.

you can pout your lip more than any other baby i've seen but are also the smiliest baby.  all we have to do is look at you & you smile.

you refuse to let anyone but me hold you.  you cry pretty much automatically and then giggle/smile when you're handed back to me.

month 5 was a toughie.  you had a horrible ear infection, strep, & thrush.  there were some loooong nights.   for a few weeks you'd sleep in 5 minute increments.   cry, sleep, cry, sleep, even while being held.   we were thankful to be staying at grandma's house to have some help, multiple nights you slept in grandma gwen's or aunt renee's arms.

you are getting better in your car seat.

i have a dilemma.   every night i can't seem to put you down in your bed to sleep.   i just want to stare at you, at the sweet baby who i've been kissing all day since december 21.   i keep telling myself that soon there won't be a day that you'll let me just hold you while sleeping.  soak it up!  oh, how we love you.   we can't believe you are ours.

and just because i never got 5 months posted, here you are exactly to the minute 5 months old...
