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.

Finding time to post is difficult these days, so here's a summary of where Logan is at now:
- Age: 16 months, one week, six days
- Weight: 12.0 kg
- Height: 83 cm
- Teeth: 7 fully emerged, 3 emerging
- Vocabulary: about a dozen words, growing every day
- Crawling: done and dusted, now we're walking! And working on running...

One year old!
We can't quite believe our baby is a year old already -- and he's not so much a baby as a little boy now!
Logan's now crawling properly (mostly), has three teeth coming through in his top gum, and has started using the furniture to haul himself onto his feet. Won't be long until he's walking!
Logan's had a busy day with an afternoon at Wellington Zoo. He was fascinated by the animals (hardly surprising given who his parents are) and stayed awake until almost the very end (about three hours after we arrived).

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.

What a weekend!
I spoke too soon. Logan had a miserable weekend, grizzling and crying pretty much the whole time. His tooth was obviously giving him trouble, and he hasn't been his normal happy self since last Wednesday.
He was happier this morning, though, so hopefully his tooth has stopped bothering him as much.

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.

Bliss!
Logan went to bed at 10:30 last night... and slept through to 6:30 this morning. :-D Probably won't happen again, though...
Logan's now sleeping in his 'big boy cot' in his room (as opposed to the portacot in the living room). We didn't have any problems moving him over, and it also means we can relax and watch a bit of TV (or Dada can play on his Xbox) while he's asleep.
He's growing up fast: 4 months old already! He's talkative, learned to blow raspberries, can wiggle round in circles when you put him on the mat, and in the last week, he's started try to roll onto his tummy. We've also introduced him to his Jolly Jumper, which he absolutely loves:

Baptism
We had Logan's baptism today, at Our Lady of Fatima church in Tawa.In the picture to the left, you can see Logan wearing his christening gown (not a dress, regardless of what his Aunt Felicity has to say about it) that Juliette's grandmother made about 40 years ago. 17 members of Juliette's family have been christened in it -- 18 including Logan.
We had a good turnout -- a few people couldn't make it, for one reason or another -- but it was a lovely private service. Father Penders -- who married Juliette and I four years ago -- did the service. He even made an impromptu addition to the service, calling our friends' 6 year old daughter up to hold Logan's baptism candle -- not something we'd thought of, but in retrospect was a great idea.
Logan was great throughout the service, even watching Fr Penders during the sermon. He didn't scream once, even when he had the water poured on his head -- though I'm sure some of that was because Juliette and I had his pacifier ready to put in his mouth at the slightest sign of impending screamage.
(L-R: James (godfather), Sarah (godmother), Juliette (happy mum) holding Logan (sleeping baby), me (proud dad), and Felicity (godmother and aunt)
To celebrate afterwards, we went to Nan and Grampa's place for afternoon tea. The centrepiece was the top tier of our wedding cake, which has been carefully stored in our freezer for the past four years for just this occasion.
