Happy Birthday Logan!

It's hard to believe that Logan is 1 now. This year has flown by so fast! Our little baby is beginning to turn into a little boy.

Today we had a fun day. We just hung out at home most of the day and had a nice supper of pasta and meatballs, a cupcake and some fun opening presents.

Logan's birthday cards that he has received

I read somewhere that a cool tradition to start is to take a picture of your child when they wake up each year on their birthday...here's Logan this morning!

Logan and I (thanks for the shirt Sarah and Mike!)

Staring at the candle on his birthday cupcake
So here he is after his cupcake...he ate hardly any of it. He was SO cautious and just pretty much pulled it apart. He did lick the icing off his hands though!

Playing with his new farm. He loves the sounds that it makes.

Some of Logan's favourite things:

- His blue bear. Logan received a blue Gund teddy bear from my friend Julie and her parents when he was born and he loves it. He sleeps with it every night and for all his naps. (I'm in the process of finding a back up...just incase!)

- Standing. Logan loves to stand. He still needs to hang onto to something but he would rather stand most of the time and cruise around holding onto furniture than play with his toys.

- Eating. He loves food...pretty much everything...it must be in his genes.

- Music. Logan loves listening to music, either on a CD or someone singing. He likes dancing and "grooving" to the music and generally perks up when there is music on.

- Putting things in his mouth. Everything...

- Books. Logan likes to look at books on his own or have someone read to him. In his room, he often crawls over to his bookshelf and pulls different books off to look at them.

- Chasing the cats - well I guess not really chasing them but he just LOVES them and always wants to pet them. They aren't so keen on this, so they run away so he chases them.

- Paper. Logan likes to rip and eat paper. We don't let him eat it but whenever he gets his hands on paper he rips it apart.

Some of Logan's "skills"

- Crawling
- Climbing up stairs
- Clapping
-Waving (sometimes)
- Talking...ok so mostly he babbles but he does say things resembling "all done" "kitty cat" "mama" "dada" "yeah"
- Standing

We're so proud of our little boy and can't wait to see what happens in the next year!
