16 Months

New Logan updates:
* He's finally completely walking. At a little over 15 months he finally gave up crawling completely.
* He signs "milk" and "dog"
* He's learning to kiss close-mouthed.
* He can reach door handles and can almost open them...SCARY!
* He's started trying to imitate anything Scott and I do.
* He's discovered jumping on furniture...the bed is his favorite of course.
* He is now up to 12 teeth. He got his last baby molar.
* Logan has a new love of digging through the trash. Though he has never had pop before, one of his favorite things to do is get my cans out of the recycle bin and drink the very last drop.

* He loves watching TV. I'm already in trouble.
* He shakes his head and violently turns and holds onto things when you try to take it away.
* He loves ocean water, bath water, and rain. This is him playing in one of our recent monsoons.
* He loves playing with cars and trucks and has just started making noises sometimes when he plays with them.



*This is one of his most favorite things in the world...the phone...of which he has claimed ownership and is one of the main causes of his fits.
*Here Logan had somehow grabbed every blanket within reach (4 total) and managed to cuddle with all of them while he was sleeping.

15 Months

15 Month Stats:
Height: 30 1/2 in.
Weight: 21 lbs. 10 oz.

What's new with Logan at 15 months?
*Logan went from having 4 teeth to 11 teeth all at the same time. It was a long, miserable couple of weeks while those teeth came through.
*Logan got his first bug bite...or should I say bites. He put his hands on an ant hill for one second and instantly had like 100 ants biting his little hands and feet. Thank goodness we could run over to the pool. His hands were completely red with welts all over them but luckily he got over it really quickly.
*He's started throwing fits. He throws himself on the ground and rolls around crying. We always ignore him and we'll catch him peeking at us out of the corner of our eyes to see if we're paying attention to him. Luckily he gets bored with it quickly and it only lasts like a minute.
*Logan had his first haircut with the clippers...and absolutely hated it.
*He has started spitting...when something gets taken away from him, when he's getting in trouble, when he gets in a very hot car, when he doesn't like the food, or when he's just being a stinker. The funny thing is he knows it means something bad and he certainly didn't learn it from us.
*He claps. Yeah he's a late clapper.

*He points the remote to the TV and usually figures out how to turn it on, the volume up, and change the channel.
*He walks about fifty percent of the time...he's really taking this whole walking thing gradually.
*He is Daddy's Little Helper. Whether Scott's working in the yard or some project, Logan has to be right there acting like he's helping out. He loves to get dirty and doesn't even mind the heat.Look at that dirt. He's seriously all boy.This is after he "helped" pick the peaches off our tree. Though he'd never had one before, he just chowed down on one when we weren't paying attention. How funny are these faces...

I'm Back!

Okay so it's been FOREVER since I've blogged. I've been behind for awhile and I just love to put off things when I start getting behind. I still haven't posted about our Hawaii trip, San Diego trip, or Logan's 15 month post. Since Logan's almost 16 months I figured it was time to get back on track and stop putting it off. I love to make excuses and, well, I'd like to think I have a valid excuse right now...that I'm very sick and very tired.
That's right. I'm pregnant...3 months now... and this is how we broke the news to our families. Between being sick, chasing around Logan, the awful heat, and my normal responsibilities around the house and with church I just haven't had the energy or motivation to do much else. Since I'm wrapping up the first trimester I'm hoping this exhaustion will start easing up. Anyway, we feel so blessed and happy about our news we just had to share it with everyone and, lets be honest, I can't hide this rapidly growing belly much longer. People have already started talking. With that being said, bear with me as I attempt to catch up the last few months. Logan has gotten so big since my last post and yes, mom, videos and pictures of Logan are coming next.
