Logan 18/19 Months

Logan hit a big milestone back in December- 18 months old! I thought it was about time for a Logan update :) Without further ado, 18 things about Logan at 18 months (of course he's already 19 months now but oh well!)

1. He's absolutely the sweetest kid. He loves to give hugs, kisses and "nice Logans" (stroking your face). He also loves to sneak up behind me and just snuggle into me (or Andrew, Connor or Leyla.) He's my little lover.

2. He loves stuffed animals. He carries them around, pets them and gives them constant hugs.

3. He loves dogs, especially my Dad's dog Oliver! My Dad got Logan a doggie board book for Christmas and it was the cutest thing when Logan literally put his head down on each page to snuggle with the dogs ;)

4. The kid eats the house. He literally never stops. The word he uses most is "more" of course. When dining out Connor and Leyla will sometimes split a kids meal but Logan always gets his own, sometimes from the adult menu. Imagine the waitress' surprise when she sets down the turkey club sandwich with sides of broccoli and fries in front of the 18 month old. We've renewed our Costco membership, it's going to be the only way.

5. He's really verbal. He probably has 50+ words, I stopped keeping track. His first words (after Dada) were dog, more, baba, up, and all done.

6. He's got the most awesome hair. It's still slow coming in on the top and sides but the back is so great- those blond curls. People tell me I can never cut it (I still haven't cut Leyla's so we'll see!) Right now though, he rocks one amazing mullet.

7. He's not been a team player when it comes to travel. He's only recently become better at car trips, but still loathes sleeping in a packnplay. Hoping we get over that hump soon, we've got a couple big road trips planned for the next couple months!

8. He loves going out. He'll literally put on his own boots, hand me his jacket and say "Out. Out."

9. He could sit on my lap and read books for hours. I love this!

10. The highlight of his week is his Bouncing Bears class at the Y.

11. His lovie is a green and yellow kitty blankie thing. It's not what I bought to be his lovie but what he latched on to! This particular kitty Andrew picked up at the Tokyo airport for Connor when he was traveling once when Connor was a baby. So fingers crossed we don't lose this because there's definitely no replacing it.

12. He's borderline obsessed with Taylor Swift, One Direction and Katy Perry and asks us to play them way too much.

13.  He loves to make funny faces (he's wearing my Mom's hat here).

14. It appears to be getting a little better but for awhile there he was climbing on absolutely every thing (and usually getting into trouble.) You can't leave him for a minute!

15. He can empty the contents of a kitchen cabinet, tissue box, wipes holder or board game box in seconds flat. Hard to be mad at that face though ;)

16. Favorite games are being chased, hide and seek, and playing ball. He also loves wearing anyone else's shoes. Here he is in Leyla's beloved Anna boots! Love those little thighs.

17. Not surprising, but his very favorite people in the world are Connor and Leyla. He just wants to be where they are, doing whatever they're doing! For the longest time he couldn't say Connor so he would call for Connor by yelling "Brother!" Now he will sometimes call him "Ca Ca." He can say Leyla pretty well.

 He and Leyla waiting patiently at the window for Connor to get home.

 18. We love him so so much!!
