Catching Up: Logan Paul

Well, its the end of July now and our little man is 11 months old!!  We have a little catching up to do so here are his month by month shots since April along with his highlights for each month.  Enjoy!

April 2013 - 8 Months Old

• Started flapping his arms up and down a lot when excited
• Rolls his wrists and ankles in circles - just like Peyton did!
• Plays peek-a-boo with his little blue blanket, covers his face and we say "Where's Logan?"

May 2013 - 9 Months Old

9 month check-up

Height: 29.3" (78%)

Weight: 19 lbs, 10 oz (33%)

Head: 46.3 cm (75%)

Peyton at 9 months: 28.5" (78%), 19 lb, 6 oz (58%), 45 cm (77%) --pretty darn close in comparison!! 

• Started scooting around on butt, but no real signs of crawling yet...
• Reaches and grabs for everything
• Tried some puffs and yogurt bites, had a real strong gag reflex
• He was used to napping in the evening (6-9pm) then woke up, ate and back to bed.  We transitioned him out of his and made bedtime 7:30.  Working great, he still sleeps all night!

June 2013 - 10 Months Old

• LOVES his baby food!  
• Getting the hang of water...for the longest time, every time he'd drink some, he'd throw it back up instantly.
• Still scooting around on butt.  He kind of shifts his legs back and forth while seated that gets him a little farther and he pretty gets where ever he wants to, just not in a traditional crawl.  
• Giggles when we pull his socks off his feet! :)

July 2013 - 11 Months Old

• Drum roll please............Little man started crawling!!  I, of course was out of town on a work trip when he did it so came home to a very mobile little guy!!
• Along with crawling comes rug burned knees and tops of feet!  
• Eating more and more table food.  Like to suck on the 'Popsicle' with fruit inside like watermelon, pears or mandarin oranges. 
• Really like cheerios!

Can not believe this guy will be ONE in a couple weeks!!  Where did this past year go?!?!  We couldn't be more blessed!

Just Dance!

We have a little dancing diva!  We put Peyton in dance class this year at Dance Xtreme with my good friend "Miss Kasey" and she LOVES it!!  Her first dance recital was in June and just too too cute!!  There were two shows on Saturday and the whole crew came to watch.  Their song was "Hey Mickey," the Minnie Mouse version.  Overall the girls did great!  They all kind of watched the coaches on the side of the stage for their cues on what to do next.  Peyton was front and center the whole time even though half way through they were supposed to switch lines and go to the back.  :)

During the second show, Peyton provided the crowd with a little entertainment in true dance recital fashion. We had a wardrobe malfunction!  No, not the Janet Jackson kind, but she lost her mouse ears and just couldn't quite figure out what to do!!  Kyle called it a "Catastrophe!"  for those of you familiar with Gaspard and Lisa!   She kept trying to put them back on with no success and finally caught a glimpse of Miss Kasey signalling here to just throw them down!  So she did and kept on dancing......until sweet little Eleanor in her class picked them up and tried to give them back to her.  The whole crowd was laughing and it was super cute!

OH, and a couple days before recital she did face plant on the sidewalk at daycare so had a nice scab on her cheek for added effect!  Enjoy!
