Logan is 14 months old!

It is so hard to believe how fast time is flying. Logan is already 14 months old! He is now so mobile and is into EVERYTHING! It is a lot of fun and very exhausting. We are having so much fun with him and just love watching all the new things he learns on a daily basis. Logan's favorite thing to do is be outside. If you ask him if he wants to go "bye-bye" he doesn't care, but if you ask him if he wants to go outside, he gets all excited and starts heading towards the door. He is very inquisitive while he is outside and loves to pick up sticks and rocks. That has been very hard to keep him from doing, so we have gotten him some new toys to play with outside to keep him occupied.
Logan likes to climb on things also and while Blake and Dylan were trying to play basketball on Friday, Logan kept climbing on the back of the goal so they couldn't shoot (you know if they were to hit him, someone might lose a head).
These blocks are on the base of the goal to keep it from blowing over and moving. Logan loved them!
Logan's two favorite people are Blake and Dylan. Those two can make him laugh harder than anyone else. They also have a great way of spoiling him! Blake was here for the week last week and it was so nice. He is so loving and kind to everyone and he is even moreso with Logan. He was great to help me out so I didn't have to carry Logan a lot and Logan just loved it. The only time Logan will prefer me over the boys is 1st thing in the morning when he has his one and only bottle of the day. He gets so excited to have that milk!
Logan loves to play with balls. We went to Toys R Us on Sunday and we ended up with 6 balls in our cart before we left. We only bought 2 cheap ones for him to play with outside though. The older boys were really sweet to share their basketball with Logan the other day.
As the picture shows, Logan is looking and acting more and more like his daddy. He likes to dress like him too :). Before we went outside the other day, he had to put the glasses on and yesterday we went to McAlister's for lunch with Aunt Sara and he wore them there also. It is so funny!
Logan's words for the month are "eyes," "da-ddy," "momma," "car," "sock," "uh-oh," "duck" and I am sure he is trying to say more but it just comes out as a scream.
We are reading a lot these days also. Logan's favorite thing in the world is a book. He will bring me all his books and we will just sit and read. It is lots of fun. He still loves the Quiet/Loud book and we probably read that about 5 times a day. He just smiles when we do the loud parts. He also loves all the flap books where he gets to help open the flaps. That is lots of fun, but I am sure by now he has memorized what is going to be underneath each flap.
Logan laughs all the time. He loves to laugh at his brothers and at himself. Tonight for dinner he was chewing up his dinner and spitting it everywhere and laughing as hard as he could. It was so gross, but the laugh he had was so cute and hysterical that you had to turn your head to keep him from seeing you smile. Dylan taught Logan to spit, so I have him to blame :)!

Sunday Patrick, Logan and I went shopping for some patio furniture and for some fun outdoor toys for Logan. Daddy has gotten the basketball goal and the car put together now and Logan is not that crazy about the basketball goal - he just wants the ball. Daddy and Dylan try to get Logi interested, but he would rather throw the ball and chase it. Maybe he is too young?
Daddy making a shot for Logan. He was really just trying to eat the rim!
After a little basketball, Logan found a board and was much more interested in that than anything we had to offer. Really - why do people ever buy toys??? It is the most random thing that a child is going to want to play with instead.
Notice that Logan is wearing his new pair of shoes that he absolutely loves. They are crocs and they are bright red "Cars" ones. We got them Sunday and on Monday morning he saw them and brought them to me to put on him. He wore them with his pj's all morning and I finally got them off of him when he went down for his morning nap!
Logan is so precious to us. We feel so blessed that God has given us this special little boy! Every day he does something new and it is just amazing how smart and wonderful he is. Logan really helps us to stop and take time out of anything else we have going on in our lives and just smile and laugh. Children truly are the most precious things ever!!!
I am so glad that I have SO many of them and love them all so much.
How amazing is it that just a year ago he could barely hold his little head up and now he is this amazing little boy who walks, talks, and surprises us each and every day???
Logan,
We love you and love all the smiles and laughter you bring to us.
Lots and lots of love,
Momma, Daddy, Blake, and Dylan

I love all the pictures. It is funny how they always go for the things that are not really toys, but yet their toys they may play with for a second.

It is so fun to see all the new things they do.
