Every morning I drive Logan over to the daycare. All winter long I've been driving in the dark, but just recently I've been driving in the pre-dawn twilight. It's been less cloudy the past week, which allows the glow of the rising sun to spread over the horizon. Without the cloud cover the mornings have been cold and frosty - I've had to scrape the car windows and let the heater run every morning this week. I strap Logan into his car seat, tuck a blanket around him and put his giraffe toy in his lap, and then I start scraping as quickly as I can. On the drive to the daycare I can hear Logan playing with his giraffe - the legs and neck click, click, click as he moves them.

Last night Logan moved slowly around on his own power as he held himself upright with his arms. He's getting the idea that he can move himself by moving his feet. He's "walking" very well when you hold his hands.

I feel pretty relieved and happy when I see Logan start to walk. I've been worried about Logan's lack of interest in crawling and moving around. He seems so curious about the world, I couldn't understand why he wouldn't want to move.
