I cannot believe my little Logan turned 1 on August 28th. He honestly has been such a joy this year and an incredibly addition to our family - we couldn't have been more lucky!
HaPpY 1st BiRtHdAy!
We had a great party with our families and of course it started out with the kids playing with balloons - their absolute favorite thing! I have to apologize for so many pics but I just loved them all and couldn't choose :)
Aww...cute little boy!
Had to include the balloon - Logan popped about 10 of them because he kept squeezing them and biting them but had so much fun!
Let's start the party! Open your gifts cute boy
My favorite kind of gift :) BOOKS! Logan got the cutest books - he loves them and I love reading with him
Part of the evening was devoted to all the kids playing together running around our yard - and of course cute Zak allowed them to chase him and chase him and chase him...
Another adorable book that Logan got
And of course, Rio was glued to grandma Marsha for the evening :)
Poor Lennox does not like balloons :( so sweet uncle Jon let him sit with him
All these cousins had such a great time together - it was so fun to have both sides of the family together
Aunt Kisty and Logan - she is always so sweet to play with the kids
Bring on the cake!
As soon as Logan saw that, he reached for it and never stopped!
Hmm...what is that?
Oh...I see. Okay, I will get the hang of this
This kid was a pro! It's like he knew exactly what to do!
Love you Logan! Way to go bud!
Logan started flicking the cake onto Spence and I - it was pretty cute! Jax thought it was pretty funny too :)
Here we are! Can't believe we have 4 adorable cuties - we are lucky parents and love them all so much!
Here's the up close pic of the cake although we'd already cut out Logan's piece
It just kept getting better the more we let him keep eating so we just let him and get taking pics
Even in the hair Logan? Really?
Look at him! Isn't that the cutest picture ever? I love it so much!
He was so happy and so adorable to watch
Almost every inch of his hands were covered in yummy cake
What'd I do? How come everyone is staring at me?
Well after all that fluffy goodness it was time for a bath! There was no other way to get him clean! And of course he didn't mind - he loves water just like everything else in this world - he is the happiest little guy
Cozy and clean with Grandma Marsha and Papa Dougie
So here I go with my re-cap of the year :)
Happy Birthday Logan!
How has it already been a year our sweet boy? We were so lucky to have you in our family! The morning I started having contractions with you, I thought oh man...things are about to change sweetheart! We were so blessed to have your siblings come to us and now we get to have you too!
I couldn't imagine what you'd be like and if you would look like them or me or daddy. We were so thrilled when you arrived safely and healthy! A big 7 lb 15 oz boy - we weren't sure what to do with such a big baby! (Even though you looked so tiny still)
I thought you were such a handsome boy and loved spending time with just you while I stayed in the hospital for a few days after the c-section. I felt very blessed being able to get to know you and your temperament and you have remained true to that same soft, sweet, happy and kind little soul that you are.
We saw Dr. C when you turned one and we couldn't believe how big you are!
WEIGHT: 23.7 lbs
HEIGHT: 31.75 (98%tile!)
You are such a healthy little guy - early on you had 5 ear infections in a row and we were a little worried but just like your brothers and sister, they went away after that and you've only had a few colds since. You are an amazing little eater :) You've always loved your bottle and mommy is going to have a hard time taking that away from you - I'm not looking forward to that and I know you aren't either but we can do it!
You love to play with balls! They are your absolute favorite toy! You even walk around kicking the ball - you have incredible balance and honestly think you are as big as Jax, Austin and Rio. You watch everything they do and do your best to copy them. You love your Noah's Ark book and look at it forever trying to push the music buttons and you LOVE to dance to "Cotton-eyed Joe." Your daddy is one of your very favorite people if not your favorite! You squeal when you see him and it is so cute! You have a great daddy and he loves you so much and loves spending time with you.
You are SUPER busy! In and out of every cupboard and drawer, the fridge, the pantry and even bathrooms and you cry so hard when doors are shut on you and you can't explore those places. You love to get into Lennox's food and water and rush over to his bowls when you hear us say, "no no Logan!" You think you're pretty funny :)
Your siblings love you Logan - I know they will always watch out for you and take care of you. They can get frustrated with you getting into their things and sometimes want their "big kid" time but they do love you. When you see Rio you make the cutest cooing sound and gently put your face on her somewhere. It's very sweet! When you were tiny, you'd put your forehead on people's heads when you saw them or you'd put your little hand on their cheeks as if to say hello - you are quite the social little guy.
MILESTONES so far:
sitting: 7 months
crawling: 10 months
walking around things: 10.5 months
walking on your own: 11.5 months
You're one amazing little boy sweetheart! We love you so much and can't wait to see what you do in the future! You are a ball of joy and I thank you so much for making me smile little Logan.
