17 months . . . Him?


When people ask how old Logan is, I have started saying 17 months recently, because he turns 17 months on Saturday. 17 months. That seems so old. He is changing so quickly. Lately . . . . . .

*He knocks on doors and things with his whole fist. He especially loves to shut a door and knock, and then wait for you to knock back. He will wait for a surprisingly long time. He also loves knocking on the bathroom door while people are in there, I think Josh taught him that one.

*He loves to play with anything and everything that isn't a toy. He especially loves kitchen utensils. He empties the drawers he can reach all the time. Lately he has been finding Josh's ipod and of course continuing to wake up the computer by pressing the keyboard or mouse. He will even wiggle the mouse around.

*He is discovering what his body can do. He will sit on the floor and slowly lay himself down over and over and over again. He also loves to lay himself down in the bathtub.

*He mimics everything we do. And it keeps us pretty entertained.

*He loves to open drawers and he loves to hide things in places they don't belong. If we are ever missing anything we have to search in the least likely spots or hot spots Logan generally puts things.

*He is fearless when it comes to the dark. Every once in a while we accidentally leave the bathroom door open and he will go in there and shut the door, there are no windows and it is pitch black with the door closed. He will do his knocking game, and when we open the door he just smiles and laughs.

*He loves to climb and run.

*He loves books, and will bring book after book to have us read, or want us to read the same book over and over and over again.

*With his new-found realization that he has control over his world in some aspects also comes frustration (for both the child and the parents) at times when we won't let him do things.

*We have communication! It doesn't always work exactly how we would have hoped, but he does understand a lot. He also understands that even though we say "No" he still is able to choose whether or not to listen. Soon I hope he will be able to reason with. He is doing lots of signs and if you say, "Logan can you say . . . " He makes a valiant effort to repeat what you said, and it is fun to hear the new words he says. His little "Please, more" makes my heart melt and I can't help but give him what he wants a lot of the time.




He loves to get the broom and "sweep"

He loves hiding himself in Josh's closet!

He says "Cheese" when you take pictures of him.

Black or Pinto beans? Most definitely black.

I can't believe how big Logan is!! He's HUGE! It's so awesome all of the things he's doing now. I can't believe how fast they grow up. He's not a baby anymore! He's a big boy! I love the pictures!
Tiff, he really is getting so big! He has one of the cutest smiles I have ever seen! I can tell you are a fabulous mother!

Wow-what a guy. He is getting really big! Certainly not a baby anymore. And of course, it is a dad's job to teach their kids to knock on the bathroom door. It's what we do best.

I'm impressed that Logan will even eat beans! Nate won't touch them even though I try hard!
Way cute pics- Logan is such a handsome kid!

He's so cute! It's fun to hear about all the new things he's learning and doing. It's hard to believe he's gotten so grown up. The last time I saw him he was still crawling and now he's all over the place! He always looks so adorable too. I especially love that bandana and his Husker outfit. :D

What a cutie. Where did you get the little Husker outfit?

A Couple of Updates

I haven't been very involved in the online world very much in the recent months. I haven't been feeling very well. I had mostly rejoined the feeling-better society and getting excited for the ultrasound which we had yesterday on January 15th. Yes, I am Pregnant!!! 20 weeks to be exact and I had gone to 4 doctors appointments and heard the heartbeat several times. Josh and I went to the ultrasound anxious to find out the gender, because we are planners of course. I got situated and the person doing the ultrasound put the wand on my belly and I looked up at the monitor and saw two circles. (I wish we had a picture of that, but we don't have that exact one) In my mind I said, "that is two heads." She said, "Oh, did you guys know you were having twins?" Josh turned, because he had not seen the two heads on the monitor yet and said, "Uh, no". And she said, "Well, you are!" Surprise. A few moments later we found out it was two girls. Wowza.

Josh Had a Birthday, Shout Hooray!

I am so lucky to have these two guys in my life! I hope you had a good birthday yesterday, Josh!

100th Post!

And Josh and I have been married for 4 years, Wahoo! I am so lucky to have Josh! He is strong where I am weak and somehow manages to make everything right whenever he's around. Most of all what I love having in him is a best friend. He watches my silly shows with me and makes me feel like the coolest girl around. In case you don't know how we met . . . be sure to always attend institute, and choir while you're at it. Josh joined the Orem Institute choir for the summer with a couple of his buddies, mostly to meet some women :) Well, Josh wasn't so lucky, but his friend was and ended up getting married, where Josh was the best man. I came to the wedding reception (I knew Emily from LD Singers, a choir through the Ephraim Institute) . . . and later Josh hinted that he wouldn't mind being set up on a date with me. 11 months later Josh and I were married! Thanks Jon and Emily!
