Logan had a pretty rough past month. He couldn't seem to be healthy and happy. He unfortunately ended up with bronchiolitis, again! Apparently once they have had it they are really susceptible to getting it for the following year whenever they get sick...awesome! This time was much worse than the first one a few months back. He was really struggling to breath and had a horrible cough and was extremely stuffy and congested. We were doing round the clock breathing treatments and rented a BBG machine (a crazy strong snot sucking machine, not fun) and finally, after what seemed like forever he was healthy again, or so I thought. The following week he didn't seem sick, but was pretty much screaming non stop for a week, unless he had Tylenol. At first I thought it was just teething, but then I realized it had to be something more that was causing him to be so miserable so I took him in and turns out his ear drum ruptured. Pretty much felt like the worst mom ever for letting it go on all week untreated. No wonder he was so miserable, that sounds so painful. 10 days of antibiotics and ear drops later he is finally back to his happy self. With all his sickness he did however regress a little with working on standing, rolling, crawling etc. I was pretty discouraged about it, but he is getting there slowly but surely. He is definitely teaching me patience!
This was at his doctor appointment where we found out about the burst ear drum. Such a sad, miserable face.
He was still feeling miserable on Valentine's day, but he managed to have a little fun at lunch reading his menu! Pretty sure he wanted one of everything, this boy can eat!
This was his Valentine's outfit. My own little Dr. Love. Cutest onesie ever!
We have discovered that Logan really loves Addie's princess castle and princesses. The poor kid doesn't have much to choose from that isn't super girly so we can't really blame him, good thing he has a birthday coming up. It seems to be the only thing that will motivate him to roll over. He seems partial to Sleeping Beauty! This past month he has finally rolled from his back to his belly several times, so we know he is capable of doing it, he just has no desire to.
He has gotten a lot more defiant about what he wants to do and gets mad when he doesn't get his way or something gets taken away from him. He is really great at the whole throwing his head back in rage thing! We are working with Addie on sharing, but as of late she thinks that anything that Logan grabs she needs to take away from him. Logan has continued to have a physical therapist from early intervention come once a month to work with him and help build his strength and we joined a yoga tots class that they put on for moms and their kids that has been a lot of fun for both of us!
It is no surprise that Logan loves to eat. I am starting to worry that we will not be able to keep up with him. Pretty sure he already eats more than Addie. He is okay at breakfast and lunch, but when it comes to dinner he can't seem to get enough to eat and gets absolutely hysterical when he finishes off his baby food. Lately he has been eating a tub of baby food, followed by snacks or pieces of bread or something he can occupy himself with until our dinner is done, and then he wants all of what we are eating too. I get no time to myself to enjoy my meals anymore. But I do love what a great eater he is. Addie was already so picky at his age, so I am thoroughly enjoying feeding him table food and not having to accommodate a picky eater, we still fight Addie every night at dinner. He is a champ at feeding himself and holds his bottle too, which is nice for me!
Logan has discovered that he loves to bang things together, two things in his two hands or just one thing against the floor, wall, etc. He doesn't care but loves the noise and the control he has over making it. He also is obsessed with his feet. He discovered them long ago, but just recently he has really taken to sucking on them, playing with his socks, and just being completely entertained by them, it is pretty funny. He graduated to a big boy car seat and it was long overdue. He was way too big for the infant carrier. He looks so funny and small in the big car seat though. Can't wait to flip him around so he can enjoy being in the car more. He is such a momma's boy and has started doing this thing where if I am holding him and someone comes up and talks to him, he will quickly smile and then bury his head in my shoulder all shy and bashful like. My heart melts a little each time! He is the sweetest, most chill little guy you will ever meet and we just love him to pieces.
