Logan is 21 Months Old!

Logan turned 21 months old on Friday! I know I say that it is sad all the time, but it really is! At the same time, it is so much fun going through all these new milestones with him! Logan loves to play in our closets...
He goes in mine all the time and likes to be shut in and waits for me to get him out or flick the light on and off. Once you shut the door, he sits in there and yells, "mommy." He isn't scared - he's just saying it. It is the sweetest sound in the world to hear him laugh and say mommy or daddy at the same time! Logan also likes to shut you in the closet if you are in there picking out clothes, getting shoes, etc. Sometimes it hurts when he slams the door on you!!! Last week was so beautiful, we tried to spend some time outside. Patty and I went walking a couple of days and while we were out one evening, I pointed out the moon (it was still daylight) to Logan. So, the rest of the walk Logan kept pointing to it and telling us, "moon." Then, when we had to come in, he was trying to say that the moon is outside and it came out "moon shide" which sounded a lot like moonshine. It is so cute and funny. He doesn't quite understand why we can't see the moon all the time and that normally you see it at night. We are working on that.
We did go buy the book Goodnight Moon and read it all the time now. As many books as we have, can you believe I didn't already have that one???
One of Logan's other cute (or not so cute - depending on how you look at it) new sayings is "nope." He has been saying that for a couple of weeks now and I have corrected him to say, "no ma'am" which comes out "no man." He is so hilarious when he says it. The innocence that children have is so sweet and I just love all the things that Logan can say and how sweet it is when he does!
Logan still loves Big Trucks and Tractors, but he is starting to calm down a little. When he sees them now it is not nearly as big a deal as it used to be. I am sure he is just getting used to seeing them all the time now. He does still point them out, but with much less enthusiasm!
Logan loves to see airplanes outside and always points and says, "apane." It is so fun getting to learn the world and see it through a child's eyes. It certainly makes you realize how much we take for granted and don't pay attention to!

Logan still loves his bath time. Every other night he has one with Hampton and as soon as I get Hampton out of the tub, Logan says, "Daddy Out" which means daddy get Hampton's bath sling out of here! We have also started brushing Logan's teeth in the bathtub which seems to help. He does pretty well for me when he's not in the tub, but Patrick was having some problems getting Logan to cooperate, so we have tried the tub and it is working for now!

Logan has the sweetest laugh in the world! He does have a bad laugh too though. It is the laugh we hear when he has gotten or does something he isn't supposed to! He was laughing one day and I just knew it was not good....I went around the corner and there he was spraying the spray 'n wash at the floor.
Logan has started something else that is new, but I am not so excited about this particular event! He loves the little men that go with some of his toys and doesn't realize that the men aren't compatible with all his trucks and tractors. So when he tries to fit them in the incompatible ones and they don't fit, he becomes extremely frustrated - to the point where he is crying so hard that we have to put him in time out to get him to calm down. He has only done it a few times and hopefully doesn't do it too many more times. I know he is just frustrated and doesn't understand, but I think he is beginning to.


Logan, you are such a great little boy and we love you more and more each day! We look forward to watching you grow and learn even more. We just love it.
Thanks for always making us laugh and smile! We love you so much,
Mommy, Daddy, Blake,Dylan, and Logan
