I haven't posted in this thread before today but I guess we're entitled to be here too!
Logan was born the 20th of April, Hitlers birthday...so that's of course left him open to a lot of jokes in the future...he is already the little dictator around here!
He's a strong and determined little guy who loves sitting up and observing his world. He's not the type of baby who is happy to lay back and let life pass by, he has to be part of the conversation and know what's going on all the time.
He sleeps most nights from 8pm to 6am or so and usually wakes for one feed but lately it seems to be 2 feeds and last night was 3...urgh, so I think a growth spurt is coming on. He's pretty good at rolling from tummy to back but gets stuck on his arm most of the time when going from back to tummy. He's generally happy to do tummy time for as long as I like, so long as I stay on the floor with him to keep him company but is happiest in his rocker chair or in the bumbo.
He's a boob lover and hasn't had anything else (except for water when it's hot) and I plan to start giving him little tastes (½ a teaspoon of food once a day) from about 4 months and start to build it up to real mouthfuls when he's 5½-6 months old. His physical signs are ready for him to start but he's not really shown much interest in my food yet, so we won't push things.
I think I have one of the smiliest babies on the planet! It's only when he's really tired that he won't smile on cue and he'll even force out a smile when he has a tummy ache. He's usually pretty easy to settle and doesn't cry much but when he does give us 10 minutes of yelling, it's for a reason, so we can't hold it against him too much!
I'm an ex-melbourne girl and my fiancé is Danish. We live in Malmö, Sweden and have been together for 5½ years. Logan is the 1st baby for both of us but I worked for a number of years both as a nanny and as a preschool teacher so there aren't too many surprises for me but it's a steep learning curve for Thomas!
So that's us in a nutshell...nice to meet you all!
