I love it when Logan shows me new skills that he's learned. It makes me so happy when I see this. Happier than when Olivia did things,although I was so excited to see her do them, she was my first. Olivia had (has) an aggressive personality and when she wants to do something or sees someone doing something, she wants to do it and does. She always did milestones on time or before, now Logan he's a different character. He could really care less and will just sit and laugh at you and almost to say with a shrug,"Oh well". It gets a little frustrating at times as I was hoping that with him watching Olivia he would have a advantage with milestones. Oh no, he just does what he wants and when he wants,no big deal to him. So you see, when he does figure something out and does it, I get really excited. Also, every new milestone gets us closer to where we need to be for his age. Preemie's, one step forward, three back.....and he is not even taking steps yet!
I have seen him wanting to put objects into other objects to see if they fit and finally putting blocks into a container instead of always just spilling them out. He is letting go with one hand more often,even waving it around at times. He did let go of me tonight, but didn't realize it until he started swaying heavily. I think he was trying to dance today. Music was going and of course he was in the sitting position, but his head and arms where going, another mark I've been trying to get him to hit.Logan is understanding the word "no"better and does things now only to turn around to see if you are going to say no to him. So it's the little things that count at this point. I know he is getting close to walking and I'm getting frustrated waking up every morning and asking him if today is the day. I guess long story short, I tend to take things for granted with Olivia, just knowing she will and can do them and with Logan it's like slowing down, taking a deep breathe and you will always see the little things that matter.......................
