Logan's First Passover

Yesterday, Logan attended his first Passover Seder and he did great. Now that Logan is eating table food, he couldn't get enough of all the different Passover foods like matzah farfel, matzah farfel muffins, matzah balls, brisket, and matzah. He even had matzah brie for breakfast. Considering he didn't get to sleep until almost 10pm, Logan was a trooper and stayed at the table during both parts of the seder. He only took a small break after the meal to play with his new toy. Logan is seen in the picture above wearing his brand new "I love Matzah" bib and wearing a yarmulke.

Logan Turns 9 Months Old!

This was a big month for Logan. His month started with a trip to Ohio (see the blog entry below) and continued with a trip to Boston and a couple trips down to South Florida. He got to meet several new people this month (mostly family, but some friends) and got to see some people that he hasn't seen in several months.

The most important developments to note are that he now has a tooth coming through and last week he started crawling. We have been waiting for the month where we could announce that he was finally crawling and we figured that it would probably happen around the same time that he cut his first tooth.

Although teeth are not necessary for eating real food, his appetite matured around the same time he started to get his first tooth. There is nothing this kid won't eat. In the short time that he has been eating table food, he has already tried (and inhaled) beets, avocado, green beans, matzah, chicken, hamburger, turkey, cheese, bagels, crackers, cheerios, matzah balls, tzimmis, bologna, edamame, french toast, matzah brie, pancakes, potato pancakes, brisket, and macaroons.

From this month's pictures, you'll see that Logan is really growing. He missed his 9 month check-up due to an ear infection, but he did weigh in at 20 lbs. What you won't see from the pictures is the way that Logan has started to copy us. If you clap, he will clap. If you make a rasberry, he will make one. If you click your tongue, he will click. If you say "da-da-da", he will do the same.

For this next month, we are looking forward to further advancements. Maybe he will start to pull himself up to the standing position. Maybe he will add more sounds to his vocabulary. We'll have to wait and see. Check back next month for updates. In the meanwhile, click here to look at pictures from this month.

Logan flies to Logan Airport

Although Logan was not named after Logan Airport, many have joked about the connection since Stefanie grew up in the Boston Area and continues today to be a fan of all the Boston teams. With 3 round trip flights under his belt, it was only a matter of time before Logan made his way to Boston.

The main reason for the trip was to attend the wedding of Beckie Osborne and Andre Gray. Beckie is Stefanie's long time friend from high school. For pictures of the wedding, click here.

Logan did not attend the wedding, but he sure enjoyed his trip to Boston. which included meeting his cousins Drew, Aaron, and Hailey for the first time. He also got to meet his great aunt Fern and great uncle Ivan for the first time. While in Boston, he also saw his cousin Andrew again and had the pleasure of meeting his new fiance.

Luck would have it that on Saturday Logan got to go to his cousin Aaron's first birthday party. He got to spend some time with kids his own age and spend some time with family. Many of the pictures from Boston were taken at the birthday party.

Although we stayed at the Courtyard Marriott, the hosts of the weekend we really Debbie, Gary, and Gary's parents. We got to enjoy two wonderful authentic Greek meals and Logan enjoyed every bit of it. For pictures of the weekend, click here.

Spring Break in Mason, Ohio

Where do you go for Spring Break when you are less than 9 months old? Logan chose to go with his mom on a mother-son trip to Mason, Ohio to see the Norris family. Logan travelled in style in the first class cabin. Logan received many compliments on his behavior. Although his trip was short, he got to spend time with Emma and Addison. No King's Island this trip, though. It was mostly about relaxing and spending time with good friends. This trip did symobolize his jump into the world of real food. He ate a bagel and pizza crust and said goodbye to baby food forever.
