HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN!!!!

Today is Logan's 1st birthday! We celebrated by having all his family in the area come over for lunch and cupcakes. We had a great time. Logan was completely spoiled and got lots of really fun toys. He even got some clothes that he is in desperate need of. Luckily, he was a little more interested in opening presents than he was at Christmas, but he still didn't figure it out. He opened one present and was in complete aww. After that first present, he didn't want to open any others. He was just fine with the school bus that his Grandpa & Grandma H. gave him. We finally got him sidetracked enough to get more presents opened. He loved every one of them. I have to say though that the most adored present of the day was the 4-wheeler that his Uncle David and Aunt Heather gave him. He loves it. He spent the afternoon just riding around on it. I think we'll hide it tomorrow and let him play with his other toys.



After presents we got out the cupcakes and let Logan enjoy. He wasn't too fond of the idea at first, but soon got the idea that he was to eat it. After he figured it out, there was no stopping him. He went to town on that thing. It was fun to watch.





The party stopped soon after the cupcakes since Mr. Logan decided he needed a nap. Over all, I would say that his birthday was a success. We all had fun, and he really enjoyed being the center of attention. He is a complete people person.

Christmas Misadventures

Our Christmas proved to be one that we will not forget anytime soon.

As soon as Logan woke up we went downstairs to open presents. For some reason, Logan wasn't into it. In fact, the wrapping paper scared him. Once the wrapping paper was gone though, he seemed to enjoy his new toys.




After the presents were unwrapped, we ate a quick breakfast (delicious cereal...one day I'll actually make a Christmas breakfast) and got ready as fast as possible to get down to my parents house in Auburn (which is about an hours drive).

We got into the car and headed out around 9:45am. It was snowing, and it was snowing hard! I couldn't believe all the snow, didn't we all ready have enough? I had talked to my brother who assured me that the freeway was fine. Our side streets weren't so good so we were looking forward to getting onto the freeway. We probably shouldn't have been so excited. I-405 was covered in snow and I believe the fastest we drove was a whopping 40mph. Only when we reached south Bellevue did it clear up. What should have taken us an hour to get to, took us about an hour and a half. It was insane! But we made it and we made it safely.

Finally at my parents house it was time to get the camera out and take pictures. I was excited to get lots of pictures of Logan since it was his first Christmas and the whole family was together. I turned on the camera to take a picture and the camera was broken! Seriously, it was working fine earlier that morning, but something happened to it between our house and my parents that convinced it not to work anymore. And, not only was our camera broken, but it seemed that everyone else's camera didn't have a working battery and there were no chargers. So, no camera this year. We did find an old one that we used, but it just wasn't the same. It made us laugh that all the cameras that everyone had didn't want to work today.

Here is a picture of David and Logan with the only camera we could find that worked. David and Heather got him this huge truck that they thought would be fun for Logan. I guess David had a different idea of fun for Logan by actually placing him in the truck instead of letting him play with it. :)

Dinner was great though, roast beef with lots of side dishes. It was delicious! We played some Rock Band after dinner and visited...it was an all around great Christmas despite the earlier problems. All too soon it was time to get home.

We left my parents house, or at least tried to. Our car got a little stuck in the street as we tried to leave, it took a little while, but we were able to get out. The roads were very slushy, icy, and snowy. You name it, the roads had it. The freeway was much better getting home though, just bare and wet. We were very excited about that. Finally we made it to our neighborhood. We turned into our development, then onto our street. Our house was just next door to where we were and our car got stuck yet again! Only this time, it was really stuck. Tires spinning, burning rubber, and going nowhere. It was 10:00 at night, no one had lights on in their homes so we didn't want to bother them. We tried for awhile, and then I looked up and saw one house with a light on. I ran to it and knocked on the door. I apologized for bothering them so late and told them the situation. Luckily he came out and helped us and after a long time, we got the car into our driveway and then into the garage. In total it took us about 30 minutes to get from our next door neighbors house to our garage. Crazy! I think tomorrow we are just going to stay home, in fact we may not go anywhere until the road is cleared up a little more.

All in all it was a great Christmas, just not so great for travelling. I love snow, but I think it should stay off the roads. In fact, it would be better if it just stayed in the mountains. :) Oh well. At least we had a white Christmas!

A big Congratulations!!!

Congratulations to my brother David and his now fiancee, Heather! They got engaged on December 23rd. I personally think it's the best day to get engaged. ;)
They are so very perfect for each other and I couldn't be happier for them. We are so excited to have Heather join our family! Congrats again!!!

Christmas Eve

Tonight we celebrated Christmas Eve with Sam's family. It started with dinner at Buca Di Beppo in Lynnwood followed by a live nativity scene at our house with the cousins. I may be a little biased, but I think that Logan made one of the cutest wisemen ever!


After the nativity, it was on to opening christmas presents. It was just an exhchange between those that were here since we won't see them tomorrow. It was so much fun to watch the kids open presents. Logan was excited to get a construction truck from his grandma and grandpa B. He carried that thing everywhere, and I'm sure if we let him, he probably would have slept with it.

Tomorrow morning we will do a small family christmas and then head down to my parents house in Auburn to celebrate Christmas yet again!!! I love the holidays, it provides so much time to spend with family that I just can't get enough of!

It's a miracle!

Logan has had problems sleeping through the night. It really hasn't been so bad, but he would wake up at least 3 times just screaming, but would eventually put himself back to sleep. We would feed him once at night to calm him down. We didn't like doing that since we figured he should be getting enough during the day. But we weren't sure what to do and it did calm him down. And of course, every time Logan woke up, so did I. Only I have a hard time falling asleep after he does, so I'm up most of the night.

One thing we have noticed is that Logan's room is incredibly cold, and has become worse with the weather. We've notified the heating company and they have made a few appointments to come out and check it out, but they have cancelled all appointments they made because of the road conditions (being ice).

A few nights ago Sam had the brilliant idea to close ALL heater vents in the house except Logan's. It worked. His room was warm and cozy, however the rest of the house was not so much. I don't care though, because those nights that the vents were closed were nights that Logan slept from 8pm til 8am!!!! It has been absolutely amazing. I really hope that the cold room is the problem. If it is, hopefully one day the heating people can come out and fix the problem. In the meantime, we have lots of blankets, and it's really not that bad in our room, but we'll do anything to make sure Logan gets a good nights sleep. And as a result, so do we! :)

Is it over yet?

Well, for the time being the snow has stopped. We have over a foot of snow in our yard, but I know that other areas have much more. The weather has warmed up a bit so the snow is melting off of the roof. We've had some pretty amazing icicles though as a result. It looks like we will get a break from the winter madness...at least until Tuesday night.

Let it snow!

We have had lots of snow, at least for the area. This morning I measured 6 inches of snow in our driveway, plus about an inch of ice underneath and it's still snowing! I love snow and all the whiteness, but we don't have a snow shovel to shovel our driveway or snow clothes for Logan or boots for anybody. So we can't really go out and play in it. So sad. We will probably go out anyway for a very little bit and then come back in and warm up. I did attempt to clear off our driveway with a broom. It was a sad attempt as I got exhausted really quickly and only managed to sweep away about a square foot of snow from the driveway. Now it just looks silly.

As much as I love the snow, I wish it would stop. Perhaps this week we will get lucky since the temps are supposed to get into the mid 30's during the day. But with rain and freezing temps at night, I'm thinking we are going to be stuck at home for quite some time. I guess it's time to get the board games out!

This is the view from our front door...

Our street...(you can't tell where the driveways end and the street begins, it's just crazy!)

Snow Day

We've had some extremely cold weather lately, and with it came snow. Starting around 3pm yesterday and still going it has been snowing in our area. You'd think we'd have more snow than we do, but I'm guessing we have about 4-5 inches at our house. The roads are ice and traffic is terrible, so Sam decided to work from home today. I'm glad he did because the reports are that the roads are so bad that lots of the freeways have been closed in some parts. One of the major roads that Sam would have to take to get to work was one of those closed.



Logan has been hypnotized by the snow, always looking out the window to watch it fall. We decided to bundle him up as much as we could (we are lacking in snow gear for him) and take him outside for his first time in the snow. He loved it! He wasn't too fond of falling in it, but he seemed to do alright. He was so excited to be outside, it was just too cute. When it was time to go inside, he threw a tantrum. He was just having too much fun outside that he didn't want to come in. Oh well, there will be more days to play.

i luv roomba!

So about a week or so ago, we bought ourselves an IRobot Roomba. The only reason we even got one was because Linens N Things is going out of business and it was on clearance...it was the only way we could afford one. I've been wanting one for awhile because I was getting tired of vacuuming every night after Logan. He has gotten very good at leaving messes wherever he goes. (crumbs everywhere!) Since I had become lazy at cleaning the house, the crumbs were piling up and of course Logan was finding them and trying to eat them. Gross!!! We needed help! Enter Roomba.

This thing is awesome. It makes me clean up the toys every night (otherwise it won't do it's job very well) and then all I do is push a button and off Roomba goes, happily vacuuming the mess made that day. It runs for about an hour or so going in all sorts of directions. There is no particular pattern for this thing. It just goes where it wants. When the battery starts to run low, it takes itself back to the charging base. What a smart robot! Of course, it does run into the end tables and such, which is actually quite funny to watch it bump into things, but other than that it's pretty amazing. And the best part is, now I don't have to vacuum as often. I still need to every now and then to get the deep cleaning, but it's so much better than doing it every day. What can I say, I luv Roomba!

Picture Day

Yesterday I took Logan in to get his Christmas and birthday pictures done. It didn't go as I had planned. Oh well, it happens. Here's the story...

Logan had woken up from his morning nap quite happy. I tried to feed him some food, but he seems to be on a food strike right now and didn't eat very much. He was giggling and smiling really big while I was getting him ready for his pictures. We arrived at the studio and we had to wait a little while since there was a backup. I wasn't worried though, afterall, Logan was in a great mood. So we hung out for a bit and I let him wander around. Finally it was our turn. I got Logan where he needed to be and the photographer came to help pose him. At that moment, Logan seemed to change his mind about his mood. He went from all smiles to all screams. We did manage to get a couple decent pictures of him, but once we got to the Christmas pictures, he was done. He didn't smile in any of those and, actually decided to throw a tantrum in the middle of the session. We got him calmed down a bit, but only enough to take one more shot of him. He looked so upset in that picture, but what can you do?

Despite the fact that it didn't go quite like I had planned, we got his 1 year and Christmas pictures done. At least we can look back on them in later years and tell Logan the story of what happened. Ah the memories...

We started with this...


And ended with this...

Nutcracker

Saturday night Sam and I went to see the Nutcracker in Seattle. It was amazing. The sets were incredible and the dancers were very talented, even the little kids were entertaining to watch.
Sam and I don't get out much anymore, and that night we remembered why. The show didn't start until 8pm and about halfway through the first act, both of us were falling asleep. Pathetic, I know! At one point in the show, Sam leaned over and whispered that he forgot there was no talking in ballet. I almost started to laugh, but remembered that others may not appreciate that. Despite being exhausted, we had a great time. It's definitely a show we will take Logan to when he's older, most likely to a matinee showing though. :)

And he's off...

Logan is walking! Yes, that's right, our little baby is no longer, he's a little boy! He's been taking steps here and there for awhile now, but as of Sunday he decided that walking is his preferred method of getting around the house. He'll still crawl if there is something that he wants to get to really fast but usually, he's walking. He never seemed to want help with it either, he refused to hold hands with anyone or hold on to anything (except when cruising the furniture). He's very independent, but that's what I love about him.

(Sorry the video is so dark, it was taken very early in the morning, and we don't have much lighting in the house.)

An Early Christmas Video

What better way to get into the holiday spirit than to make our son a dancing elf! ;)

Our Thanksgiving Weekend

Where to start...this weekend was a busy one, but fun.

Thanksgiving day we went to Sam's parents house to celebrate Thanksgiving. As always, there was lots of delicious food. I was excited for Logan to try Thanksgiving dinner, but he had other plans. He decided to eat only a small amount of potatoes and then take a nap halfway through the meal. Oh well. There's always next year. He seemed to enjoy playing with his cousins. Well, he more or less watched them play, but he was very entertained by it.

On Friday, I actually braved the morning crowds to get some good deals on presents for Logan. His Christmas shopping was all done, but it dawned on me that his birthday is right after Christmas and I needed to get him something, so I went to Toys R Us and got lots of great things for him at really great prices. I'm not sure I'll do that again though, parents can get rather vicious when it comes to getting toys for their kids. I did however, enjoy the deals I got. Later that afternoon, we headed south to visit my parents in Auburn. We had yet another delicious turkey dinner (gotta love leftovers), and Logan actually got to eat some of it this time. He seemed to really love the sweet potatoes, but not the turkey. He's a crazy kid, but we still love him.

Saturday was fun. Sam went to lunch with his family while I stayed home and babysat my awesome neices! (I didn't want to go to lunch...it was Dim sum, not something I enjoy, but Sam does.) While everyone was eating, I had Hannah help me decorate our Christmas tree. I really wish I had taken a picture, she did a wonderful job of putting the ornaments in the same place on the tree. It was awesome! Unfortunately, we couldn't keep it like that because Logan thought it was a fun toy to bat at. So we had to place the ornaments in various places on the tree. Sorry Hannah, maybe next year we'll try your idea. :) Once lunch was over, the guys came home to babysit while some of us went to see Twilight. All I'll say about the movie is that I thought it was all right. Not my favorite, but still good.

I really regret not taking any pictures. There was so much going on, but picture taking wasn't really on my mind. I guess I need to get better at remembering to have the camera ready. Despite the lack of photos, this past weekend was so much fun. Now we just have to get through Christmas, a first birthday, and the New Year, all within a month! It's going to be crazy around here, but one thing is for sure...we're definitely going to have some fun!

Fun in Texas, Day 3

Our final day in Texas, Joel took us to San Antonio. We had so much fun. We saw the Alamo and walked down the Riverwalk. We really didn't have time to do too much, but we still had fun.

Fun in Texas, Day 2

Our next day visiting, Joel had to go to school. So Sam, LeighAnn, and I packed up the kids and headed out for lunch at Whole Foods and then on to the Austin Zoo. The Austin Zoo is rather small compared to big city zoo's and not too fancy. It's actually a sanctuary for these animals. It's a place where unwanted animals can go and be well taken care of. They were fun to see though. There was everything from lions, tigers, bears, and monkeys, to peacocks, vultures, incredibly large tortoises, and parrots. There was a train ride that we took and we saw some great views of downtown Austin. Wild chickens ran free at the zoo, so we had to be careful not to get in their way. Logan and Bailey seemed to be rather fascinated by the animals that they saw. There were lots of squeals of delight from both babies. It is so much fun to watch how they react to things. I love it! I think that the best part for all of us though were the parrots. They would say the most random things. One bird would say "hello" in many different pitches. At first I thought it was a nice old man, and then a lady, saying hello to us, but when I looked around, all I could find was the bird. Two parrots were absolutely hilarious though. They said things like "polly want a cracker" and "hello brad" and then they would work together and make the Tarzan sounds. It was hysterical.

Fun in Texas, Day 1

Sam and I decided to go to Austin, TX to visit his brother and sister-in-law for a couple of days. We flew down on Nov. 1 and came home Nov. 5. We had a good time and enjoyed visiting Joel, LeighAnn, and Bailey. Logan had a fun time hanging out with his cousin, just 4 months younger. The two of them were so cute together. I think Bailey had the most fun attacking Logan by jumping on his back and trying to grab at him whenever she could. Poor Logan, he never really figured out that if he wanted to avoid getting attacked, all he had to do was crawl away.

Our first day in Austin was pretty laid back. We slept in as much as Logan would allow us, and just hung out in the morning. LeighAnn made an awesome suggestion of going for a picnic in a park. So we packed up some food and headed outside. We drove to a park that had those water fountains that kids can run through. We spent a good amount of time there and even let Logan and Bailey play in the water...well, as much as they would allow anyway. It was so much fun to watch them. I can't wait until Logan is actually able to walk/run through the water instead of just standing there, or trying to crawl without putting his knees on the ground. :) It amazed me that in November, kids were playing in water. We had nice mid 80 degree weather while we were in Austin. I enjoyed every minute of it, knowing that we would be heading back to rain and cold in just a few days. After the park we made our way to the State Capitol building. It was amazing. The grounds were gorgeous and the building itself was gorgeous. I'm thinking that by this point in the day, all the kids wanted to do was go home and take a nap, but they were good anyway for us. After the Capitol, we went back home and let the kids rest. When they woke up from their naps, it seemed that they found each other to be rather hilarious. No matter what Logan did, Bailey would laugh like crazy, and vice versa. Here is a cute video of the two cousins having fun.

Logan's 1st Plane Ride

Well, the flights to and from Austin were somewhat of a success. Although, Sam and I agreed that we would never do that again with an infant. We got lucky on a couple of flights and were able to take his carseat on to the plane with us. It didn't help all that much, except for when he took a nap. But those didn't last too long. He did really well at playing peek-a-boo with other passengers and the flight attendants. He was able to keep himself somewhat entertained, but we did have some meltdowns. Luckily, Logan is a daddy's boy and Sam was able to calm him down quite easily.

We did have some problems with the flights themselves though. When we arrived at Salt Lake from Seattle, we were told that we couldn't leave the plane because TSA had said that there was a security breech at SeaTac and we would have to be rescreened. Well, this was not good news since we had a connecting flight in a half hour. After waiting 15 minutes, we were able to get off the plane in the International Terminal where ALL the baggage was unloaded. We had to find our baggage and take it to be rescreened and hope that it would make it on to our next flight. We were certain that we were going to miss the connection and there were no other flights to Austin until the next day. We were at a loss. We ran as fast as we could to the other side of the airport and got to the gate, only to be told we were at the wrong one. We ran to the correct gate and were told that they were just about to leave. We were let in through the doors and told to go to door 20. WHAT??? Apparently our connecting flight was one of those planes were you board from the outside. Yes, a tiny jet. Fun Fun. As our luck would have it, door 20 was at the opposite end of where we were, so we started running again. We got to the door and it was closed and locked. We started yelling for help. We could see the pilot and he saw us. We were banging on the door to be let in as we saw the plane get ready for taxiing to the runway. Luckily, one of the workers outside saw us and opened the door, we again, ran up the ramp and onto the plane. Phew!! We finally made it and as soon as we were seated, the plane left the gate. Talk about being right on time!

The flight home was not as exciting. We did run into snow at SLC, but it wasn't too bad. We were delayed a bit and had to get the plane de-iced before we took off, but Logan seemed to enjoy watching things from the window. There were lots of "oohs", "ahhs", and "wows" from Logan.

My heart goes out to all of you moms and dads who have to fly with young children. Sam and I knew it would be rough, but we never realized just what it took. And we only have the one kid. Needless to say, we probably won't be doing this again, at least not until Logan is old enough to sit and watch a video for the flight. :)

Happy Halloween!

Logan just wanted to say "Happy Halloween" to everyone!!!




Since he's too young to go out trick or treating, Grandpa and Grandma B. are going to come over and play with Logan while Sam and I go out to a halloween party (maybe, we haven't decided if we are going or not). Whether we go or not, it doesn't matter, we still plan on having fun with our little bear. We are also excited at the chance to perhaps get some trick-or-treaters this year since in previous years we've lived in condos that didn't really do trick-or-treating. We even carved some pumpkins, which I haven't done since I was a kid. Oh, the memories it brought back. :)

We've got a climber

This morning, I noticed that Logan desperately wanted to get on the couch, but as with everything else, he did not want my help. So I let him figure it out on his own. I was actually laying on the floor next to the couch and he used me as a step and climbed right on. It took awhile, but with no help from me (except for being used as a step) he finally got to his destination. I'm thinking the main reason he wanted on the couch was for the treats he has in his hands. :)

Any Advice???

So, on Saturday, we are flying to Austin, TX to visit Sam's brother and his family. I'm excited to go visit them, but I'm a nervous wreck about Logan being on a plane. He has really gotten quite good at throwing tantrums when he doesn't get his way and I'm worried about how he's going to do on a plane. He is super active nowadays, and being confined for hours on end...well, let's just say I'm not looking forward to it. Oh, and my favorite part is that there is a layover in Salt Lake. But only for a half hour, so there is no time to let him run (crawl) around and get out some energy. For those of you who have flown with small children before, do you have any advice?

A Christmas Stocking

Call me crazy, but I've decided to make Logan a Christmas stocking that he can enjoy for years to come. There's just something about a homemade stocking that makes the holidays all the more enjoyable. Since Christmas isn't too far out, you'd think I would pick something simple to do, but no. I decided to do something far more challenging...a cross stitch. It most likely will not be done in time for Christmas this year (I'd be surprised if it was), but that doesn't matter. Logan probably won't notice anyway. Hopefully though, it will be done for his 2nd Christmas. We shall see. I'm notorious for starting projects, but never actually finishing them.

Anyway, if all goes as planned, this is the stocking Logan should have for next year.


And of course it'll say Logan, not Marta. :)

Pumpkin Patch

This weekend, we followed the trend of what seems like everyone is doing and went to a pumpkin patch. I have to admit though, Sam and I were not all that impressed. I guess we didn't pick a very good one to go to. I can't even remember the name of it, just that it was somewhere in Snohomish County. Oh, Sam just reminded me that we went to some place with the name of "Bob's Corn." I guess that should've been our first clue. True, they did have pumpkins, lots of incredibly large ones and some green ones too, but nothing that we were interested in buying. There was a large size corn maze, but it was too late in the day and I don't think Logan would have had much fun. He all ready seemed bothered by the fact that we were even there. Oh well, it was our first attempt at a pumpkin patch. Next year we will find something better and maybe go a little earlier in the month to get a good selection of pumpkins. As for this year, it looks like we'll be getting our pumpkins from either Safeway or Fred Meyer.

The Eye Doctor

Logan had his first eye exam today. I know, he is young for that, but our eye doctor has this cool program called InfantSee that is designed for infants 6-12 months. Well, since Sam and I both have horrible eyesight, we figured that we might as well get Logan in early just to see if there are any problems. Luckily, Logan is right on track for where normal 9 month olds usually are as far as eyesight. He did very well during the exam. He didn't cry or fidget, well, not too much anyway. He really thought the lights were cool that the dr. would shine in his eye. And he got to play with some pretty cool toys. I would have to say that this visit was a success. Now all I can do is hope that his next visit goes just as well, but that won't be until Logan is 3. I just hope that his eyes are not even close to as bad as his parents. Poor kid, I don't know if he even has a chance though.

First Steps

Logan took his first steps today. He is getting closer to actually walking. He has taken one step alone for awhile, but always falling down after. And of course he's been "cruising" the furniture for about a month now. But today was the day that he took a couple of steps, unassisted, towards Sam before falling down. I still think it will be awhile before he is actually walking, but he may surprise us and start sooner than we think.

9 months

Well, Logan had his 9 month check up. He's doing very well. Luckily his weight gain has slowed down. He only gained 2 pounds in 3 months. I'm happy about that. Here are his stats:

weight: 23lbs. 8oz.
height: 29.5 inches

I'm glad that he's no longer in the 97th percentile anymore for weight (he's in the 90th). I figure that he's so active now that his weight gain has slowed down enough. Yesterday he pulled himself up to a standing position and let go of the couch and just stood there for a minute and a half. He loves to just stand still and laugh. His latest thing has been climbing up the stairs. We blocked one entry to the stairs with a gate and didn't think he'd find his way around til later, but he found it a few days ago. So now we need to get another gate put up to stop him from getting to the stairs. I have to say, he's pretty good at climbing them though.
He has become so active lately. He does not like to sit still for long and he can't stand being ignored. He needs someone to play with, or just be near him ALL the time. It can get very tiring, but he's fun to be around so it's worth it.

Logan's dance

Logan loves to dance. Well, really just bend his knee to the beat of the music, but still it's very cute. (At least we think it is.) So this morning I had one of the music stations playing on the TV and Logan really got into it. Here is a video of him "dancing". (Be warned, it is about a minute long...)

Pictures, Pictures, and more Pictures!!!

Yesterday I took Logan to get his 9 month and Halloween pictures done. We went to the portrait studio at Walmart, because let's face it, they are cheap and I don't like spending lots of money on pictures. They did a good job, but now we have to wait 2 weeks to get the pictures, and then we can't even put them on our computer. The CD was way too expensive. Later that day I decided I needed to find a new place to get pictures done. Preferrably one that doesn't charge a sitting fee. Well, I found one at Babies R Us. They are awesome! A little more expensive than Wal Mart, but they are so much better too. I went there just to ask a few questions about how they did things and they took a couple of free shots of Logan just so I could see how they did their job. I have to say, I was very impressed. And since I was so impressed with them, I made an appointment to get family pictures done on Saturday. It's too easy to get me to say yes when it comes to Logan and Sam. I would do anything for those two!

Say Cheese!

Okay, so Logan has had this thing with cameras so that when I go to take a picture of him, he tends to look incredibly serious, or will turn away. But today for some reason, he has really taken to it. Every time I got the camera out, he would look at me and give me the silliest smile. Maybe it was his new toy that made him smile so much, but I'll take it, regardless. His personality has really started to show in the last couple of days. He is so much fun!


We love you Logan-buddy!
