15 Month's have gone by and our little baby is becoming a "Big Boy" more and more everyday!
I L.O.V.E watching this boy grow!

*LOVES reading books.... recently we came home from a trip and he went straight to his bookshelf when he got home and looked at books for an hour! 
* 100% all boy... if you can build it, destroy it, make it a sword... this boy is ALL about it. 
*He is so curious and loves to explore everything.
(JD recently taught him sword fighting (with plastic golf clubs).. we have had to eliminate this play due to using them on friends)
*Points at everything and asks "That?" 
*Logan has the sweetest personality, he loves to be loved on, hugged, kissed, and smile all day long!
*Starting to say lots of words: 
-Mama- "Baba"
-Dada-"Dada"
-"hey dad"
-this
-that
-kitty: "itty"
-please: "easssss" along with the sign
-bye-bye:
-Pow: when he falls down on destroys something
-Ohhhhh: when something falls or he throws something off his tray 
-Brrrrrmmmm: every car, truck, boat, plane he sees 
-Roar: Lion
I'm sure there are others, just can't think of them at this moment.

*Has started understanding prayer-- when we eat meals and before bed we'll say let's pray and he grabs our hands and bows his head.--Precious!
*Loves music and dancing (he has his parent's dance moves :)) 
*Knows a lot of body parts and freely shows you if you ask him. Some he knows in English and Spanish, thanks to Uncle Jay! 
*Loves Mickey Mouse and will sing the Hot Dog song if you mention Mickey Mouse
*Is wonderful at following commands!! 
*Interested in helping Mom anytime he can, mopping, dusting, vacuuming, wiping things down, putting things away....
*Loves his Daddy more than anyone... he does a little happy dance (yes, our child has happy feet) when he sees him.

Most of all we have just enjoyed watching his personality and character grow through the past few months! I can only imagine how much more we have to look forward to! We are blessed beyond anything could have imagined! I'm holding on to the fact that he is still a Momma's boy most of the time right now, but I see that Daddy's boy coming out more and more each day! :) 

We love you so much, Logan James!

Santa...

This past year we did not do sitting on Santa's lap. Logan was only 3 months old  and I was scared about the flu going around so we didn't get out much.  But, this year we decided we needed to do it at least once.  He wasn't liking Santa too much at the beginning, but after Santa offered up the candy cane, he was in business with this little man.  He knows the way to this boys heart.... food! (junk food) If your wondering if we let him eat his candy.. not this time. 




I have to say it's so funny to look back now to when you were a kid.  I don't know about everyone else, but I L.O.V.E.D waking up at the crack of dawn and running into my parents room and getting them up and then running to the tree to see what Santa had brought me. I am looking forward to this Christmas because I think Logan will actually GET it little bit.  I have been showing him my nativity scene (that may be his Christmas present this year) and telling him about Jesus.  

May you all have a blessed Christmas season!
Remember HE is the REASON for the this SEASON! 

Praising Him,

Lately......


Lately, we have been decorating for Christmas, attending Christmas parties, and just spending time as a family! This last week after we ate lunch, I put Logan down and let him do his thing while I cleaned up the dishes. I turned around to check on him and I could hear him, but I couldn't see him. So I followed his voice around to the dogs cage and here he was...he had opened the dog cage door then shut it and laid in between Maya & Coby with his arms stretched onto both of them.  HILARIOUS.  Unfortunately I didn't catch the picture.. but I did get one while he was still in the cage. 




Last week we also got a package... I say "we" really it was for Logan, but we enjoyed it too! My Aunt Lynne sent him some festive Christmas time pj's.  He would make a cute elf... don't you think!?







He was even acting silly like an elf! 

I LOVE this time of year! Looking forward to taking LOTS of pictures, reading/seeing precious Christmas cards and just enjoying the celebration of our Savior! 

Much love, 
Mar
