Logan is 1!


Despite the immense lack of sleep, the last year has really flown by! I can't believe our little Logan is already 1! He is an amazing addition to our family and has really made a place for himself.

At 1 Logan...

* is weighing 20 pounds and measuring 30 inches (in the 10th and 25th percentiles) making him our smallest kid yet.
* is walking and climbs on *everything*.
* loves wrestling and chasing his brothers.
* finally has 4 teeth.
* is saying a few words: mama, dada, brothers, cracker, all done.
* waves bye-bye.
* already has a sweet tooth - he refuses to eat any vegetable unless it's mixed with fruit.
* is a daddy's-boy.
* enjoys reading and looking at books.
* is very curious and mischievous.
* loves to explore and problem solve.
* has fun playing peek-a-boo and putting toys inside of containers.
* claps his hands anytime anybody else is clapping their hands (even if they're not interacting with him at all).
* dances whenever he hears music playing.
* overall is a very happy baby - unless he's not getting his way. ;)

When I tried to take his one-year pictures with Bananas the monkey, he was not very interested in cooperating.

 
 
 


On Saturday we had his 1st birthday party and he had a blast! He loved all the attention and playing with his big cousins. He had fun opening and playing with his gifts (even the clothes!). And he is my first kid to completely devour his cupcake. Colin was really only interested in the frosting and Eli cried. Logan was two-fisting that thing and it was very difficult to get a picture of him without his hands in his mouth. He was also making the cutest lip-smacking sounds. Like I said before, we definitely have a sweet-tooth on our hands!

 
 
 
 
 
 

Happy 1st birthday to our littlest Ring! We have really enjoyed getting to know you over the last year and are looking forward to what the next year brings. We love you!

Logan is 11 months

With only a few hours left until Logan's first birthday, I figured I should at least put up a short post with his 11 month pictures (I may have also gotten a little nudge to do so from a certain great-grandma ;) ). At 11 months, Logan was doing most of the same - working on getting more teeth (he still only had 2!) practicing walking, wrestling his brothers, trying new foods, learning a few new words and getting into trouble. I swear, I have had to move more things for this kid than the other two combined! All of our CDs and DVDs have had to move to the basement, all of our books have been stacked on top of bookshelves, and if there is a power cord or an uncovered outlet, Logan has an uncanny way of finding them - even if they're hidden behind a massive piece of furniture. He's just so happy when he's making mischief though - it's so cute and I can't help but laugh (most of the time).
