10 Months
Logan, what are you up to at 10 Months Old?
You are SILLY!!!!! You love to make people laugh. Today at Target, you put a burp cloth on your head and just looked at me, as if to say, "Come on...you know you want to laugh."
You like to look at books, especially the kind that have the flip tabs or the ones that make sounds.
You also like to chew on books.
You won't sit still for very long at all, unless you are tired. For instance, today, I put you in a basket of clothes, and you were NOT entertained. I thought it was cute.
You did like to chew on the clothes basket though.
You like Charlie, and all dogs, more now than ever before. I think you know that they are fun playmates. You just haven't figured out how to control yourself enough to stop pulling his hair! He runs away from you most of the time.
You are such a boy. You like to play with basketballs, footballs, baseballs, trucks, alligators...you love to splash in the water. I'm sure all babies do, but there is a certain aggression you express. You are ALL boy.
You sleep in very strange positions, often with your face straight down or with your head under a pillow. Sometimes, it really scares me!
You still do physical therapy once a week with Miss Gloria. You get excited now when you see her because you know you are going to get a whole hour of play time!!
Although you scoot all over the place, doing the "army crawl," as they call it, you very rarely crawl on your hands and knees. I keep telling you that your life would be so much easier if you would "just do it this way," but you won't listen! Guess I should get used to it!
You can often be heard randomly calling out for your daddy. He is your favorite, except when you're tired or sad or fussy or need some hugs and kisses, then mommy is your favorite, and I think that's perfect. I'll give you as many kisses as you want!
You have 9 teeth. Daddy says you have 10, but I have yet to find the 10th one, so let's go with 9 for now.
You are starting to eat different foods, but this too, scares me. I am so worried about you choking! I guess that it would be really difficult for you to choke on mashed potatoes, but it's happened to others (ask your cousin, Drake!).
I know it's difficult to believe, but somehow, you get more adorable every day. We love you so much. You may never know how much joy you have brought into our lives. God has blessed us far beyond what we ever imagined. You are such a wonderful blessing to us and all your grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Everyone loves you so much, and we know that God has great things planned for you!
In two months, you will be ONE YEAR OLD (as I wipe a tear from my eye).
We love you, Logan David.

Say "CHEESE"!
In case you're wondering, Logan was up again on Monday night, that time for an hour and a half. Fortunately, last night, he was back to sleeping the whole night through. It was wonderful. I've heard that children go through different stages. I think it was just because he's been sick. But he always wakes up happy in the morning -- not so much in the middle of the night!
I don't think I've updated you on his teeth situation...he has 9 completely through and the 10th one is starting to come through. It's interesting that #9 showed up on the left side, and it's a molar. He's been eating more table foods, mashed potatoes, noodles, and various breads. Why shouldn't he? He has a mouth full of teeth!

The Big City
We are not city people. We live in the "city" of Fort Wayne, but we're basically country people at heart. Still, we do love the adventure (or hate it at times) of getting out and seeing a BIG city. We also want Logan to decide, for himself, if he will be a big city boy or a country boy. So, we'll occassionally expose him to both...the city and the country....
We left on Friday morning for Chicago, driving Zeb's Envoy, and that's because my car wouldn't start as I tried to leave work on Thursday. We had to have it towed and it was repaired over the weekend while we were away. It could have been worse, but it certainly wasn't how we wanted to begin our weekend.
The trip to Chicago was pretty uneventful except for the awful traffic and the accident we witnessed. We made a quick stop so that daddy could introduce Logan, officially, to the exciting world of all things Notre Dame. Logan got a nice stuffed football that he played with most of the weekend.
On Friday night, we were able to have supper with our dear friends who are going to be married in October. We got to see a real-life Chicago home! In my mind, I just pictured tiny rooms and a tiny house with a tiny yard, but theirs is not tiny. It was so nice to have a quick visit with them. We went to a local barbeque place, and it was wonderful!
On Saturday, Logan enjoyed, yes I said ENJOYED, a swim. I didn't take any pictures because I just wanted to focus on getting the little guy in the pool and enjoy the water, and we did just that. I would have to say that was the best part of the weekend.
On Saturday evening, we walked to Navy Pier where it was shoulder-to-shoulder people, so we quickly turned around and walked back to the hotel. We ordered take-out and stayed in the rest of the evening.
We left early on Sunday and headed home with every intention of getting home early since Zeb was sick all last week and I was sick over the weekend while we were in Chicago. On the way home, we saw a sign for Amish Acres and spontaneously decided to stop (we are NOT spontaneous, so we were just entertained by the fact that we were doing something like this!). I am so glad we did. It was slow-paced and there weren't many people there at all. Turned out to be a great decision. We enjoyed lunch at the Amish restaurant and headed home.
Oh, I forgot to mention....when we stopped to get gas right before we went to Amish Acres, the owner of the gas station came running out yelling that Zeb didn't pay. We did, in fact, pay and we had our receipt. However, he insisted that Zeb get out of the car and come inside. As soon as they got inside, the owner realized that he had made a mistake, but it was very scary for a minute!!
And this picture, taken by my photographer husband is my favorite from the entire weekend...man, I love this little guy.

Faux Hawk
I've been waiting for Logan's hair to be long enough for this, and it is...just barely....
Logan is developing quite the personality. Last evening, he was playing with a hanger (disclaimer: do not let your baby play with a hanger while unattended!). He was being so silly...holding it up to his face, covering one eye and seeing if I would laugh. Then, putting it on his head, and I would laugh again. He kept doing silly things with it just to make me laugh. What a wonderful blessing it is to have a little boy who finds joy in making his parents laugh. I hope he knows that I continued to laugh all day today -- every time I thought about it!
Seriously, how many 9 1/2 month old babies would realize that this is silly...he is going to be such an entertainer!!! I will be his biggest fan!
I LOVE YOU, SWEET, SWEET BOY!!!!
