A big day for Logan, yesterday was his last day in the Infants room at daycare -- he starts in Toddlers on Monday. He's spent the last four weeks "transitioning", where he spends more and more time in Toddlers, getting used to the new room, teachers and older kids (though Logan does know some of the others from when they were in Infants).
For the last week, Logan's pretty much spent all day in the Toddlers and apparently likes watching the trains go past. He seems to have really settled in the new room, it's Mummy who seems to need counselling -- Logan will be 18 months old on Tuesday.

Update
.JPG)
Nearly two months since the last entry, time for an update!
The biggest things that've developed since August are that Logan is commando crawling (lying on his belly, using his arms to pull himself along) and he's saying "Mum" and "Dad" (well, "Mummummum" and "Daddaddad").
Logan's still only got two teeth, but he's learning to chew his food well. He also seems to have developed a bit of a sweet tooth! He's also able to hold his bottle by himself.
Logan also gets really excited whenever he sees Thomas the Tank Engine. Daddy is very pleased by this.
Day care is going really well. Logan's settled into a routine there, and he almost always has a smile for the teachers when he arrives.

Been a while
It's been nearly a month since the last post, and Logan has very definitely growing up.
His major milestone is he has a tooth! And (fingers crossed) it doesn't seem to be bothering him too much. He has grizzled a couple of times, but a quick dose of Weleda teething powder (which he likes -- he hates Bonjela) seems to fix it.
The other milestone is that most nights he sleeps right through (much to the relief of his parents!). There have been a couple of nights when he's woken up about 1-2 am, but I think that's more to do with his teething. And of course, the one night I wanted him to wake me up at that time (i.e., for the New Zealand v. Paraguay match), he slept through...
Logan's really settled into daycare, and his teachers are always telling us what a wonderful little boy he is (like we didn't already know).
His menu has expanded quite a bit, and he's developed a taste for wafers and Cruskits. He'll wolf down any vegetables you put in front of him, though he doesn't seem to like sweet fruits. Seems to like bananas, though.

Into day care
With Juliette back at work since last Friday, Logan is now in daycare (at the Early Years in Kaiwharawhara).
He had four "settling visits" since we got back from Nelson, and his first proper day was Friday. The settling visits went okay, although with one of the last two, when we left Logan at the day care (to see how he'd be without us there), he had a meltdown, so we ended up rushing back to pick him up again.
On Friday, we dropped Logan off at 7:30, and then took Juliette to work. He was crying when Juliette called later in the morning, but the carers said he was otherwise okay. Unfortunately, the teacher who is to be Logan's primary caregiver -- Jenn, whom Logan's really bonded with -- was away, and there were a number of temp staff (who Logan had never met before) covering for others who were sick. Coupled with the noise and lots of other children, Logan was a bit unsettled, so the day care called me to come and 'rescue' Logan at around 12:30. He was still a bit grizzly when I got there, and almost fell asleep in my arms. I took him in to Juliette's work, and he was all smiles and giggles -- somebody suggested he'd just been putting on an act! I took him back home, fed and milked him (including him kicking half a jar of parsnip-pumpkin-and-carrot on my trousers), and he was settled enough to go out again to collect Juliette from the train and do the food shopping.
Today, we dropped Logan off at 7:30-ish again, and Juliette at her office at 8:15 (I'm still at home, recovering from my surgery). Juliette called them around 11, and he was doing well. I picked him up at 4, and was told that he'd had a wonderful day, they'd found some toys he liked and that they need to move him away from other kids who are crying (because that sets Logan crying).
