Sourpuss

Logan seems to like pretty much everything we give him to eat - even things that are unusually sour or tart.
Here he is participating in Starbuck's Evil "Start them before 1 year of age we surely have a customer for life, mwahahaha" plan - Pomegranate, please. Note the giant choppers...
And below, sucking away on a lime wedge.

the power struggle

Special thanks to Robbie Downs for sending Logan this awesome Jeep. He and Mascis absolutely love it. They both love it so much, they often fight over who gets to push it around!

Look, no hands!

9 months - new stats

height 29 1/2 " (85-90%)
head circumference 19" (>95%)

logan had his 9 mos doctor appointment this week and his head is literally off the charts. when they plotted it on the growth charts, we couldn't believe it.

check out the third photo, looks like the snaggle tooth has some company. two bottom teeth! the top ones are about to come in too, and then the biting will begin!

Ice Ice Baby

So this morning we were all in the bathroom, Logan was getting dried off from a bath, I'm shaving (electric) and we decide maybe we'll trim the hair over Logan's ears. Went pretty well at first - did a little on the right, little on the left, came back to the right and Logan ducked when he should have dodged, and I zigged when I should have zagged, and next thing you know, ZIP! he looks like Vanilla Ice.
Old School.
Next we're gonna trim an "L" into the back of his hair...

4:45

Logan's got this nasty habit of waking up early lately.
Well, nasty for me, but not necessarily for him as illustrated here:

Logan at 4:45 AM

Dad at 4:45 AM

stainless

logan loves stainless steel...because he can see himself in it.
he is up and about wandering along anything that he can pull up on and walk against in the house.
