Logan is 9 Months Old

Little Logan is getting big and is already 9 months old! His 1-year birthday is in sight! At 9 months, Logan is a handful. He crawls everywhere and doesn't stay occupied with one thing for very long (unless it's making a big mess or involves electrical cords). He seems to always be looking for trouble and is very mischievous. Diaper changes with Eli have become lightning fast because even if Logan is in a different room, as soon as Eli is lying down with his pants around his ankles, Logan makes a beeline straight for his head and starts beating on him. It's all in good fun, but Eli doesn't appreciate it. I don't think it helps the situation that Colin actually likes when Logan wrestles with him and encourages him to attack his head on a regular basis by lying on the floor giggling "Help me, Logan! Help me!". Ahh, my sweet boys. Logan has also become a big fan of climbing. He enjoys climbing on the fireplace, which isn't that big of a deal since it's not that high and if he falls it's onto carpet. He *loves* to climb the stairs, but we thankfully have a gate back up now so those efforts have been thwarted. The problem is that he also loves to find ways to climb onto other pieces of furniture such as using the ride-on train to climb onto the train table. Hmmm, I think I have a plotter on my hands.

Logan loves to cruise and he's starting to stand on his own for a few seconds at a time. He especially loves to do this while holding one of his brothers swords and swatting at people with it. On a less violent note, he also loves the water and has really enjoyed our visits to the pool and the beach. His favorite toys right now are balls, which he loves to chase and those before-mentioned swords. He's a very fun and pleasant baby for the most part, except for when he's not getting his way. ;)
