my blue eyed boy.


Logen has been doing some very funny and mischievous things lately so I decided I should share before I forget. These are some of his recent moments.

*he has learned how to open some doors and some of the safety cabinet locks. He is a pretty tall baby and likes to grab onto the door knob while on his tippy toes and he turns it until once in a while, it does open. He also knows to push down on the cabinet door locks and it has now opened twice. uh oh!, now what do I do?

*he also put together that you need keys to open the front door so he now likes to grab my car keys and he tries to put them to the door in hopes that it will open. He hasn't had any luck with that and doesn't even understand putting a key in the door but he does put them to the door knob. can you tell our son is trying to run away?

*he loves to throw objects down the stairs. We have a baby gate on the top of the stairs but he enjoys throwing everything from pillows, to toy pianos, to sippy cups, and so on...down the steps.

*he has not started saying words yet a lot (at least not words that I understand). he will say "mama" and "dada" and a lot he says "up" sometimes but that's about it so far. We are working hard on this but the other day my brother said a bad word and of course, he sort of copied it. It wasn't quite the word but it was very close. I was terrified that would be his first real word. it was something like "ashashash" is what he repeated.

*he loves to copy everyone's actions. jared and I will do tricks with our tongue or make funny noises and he loves to copy those. He is better at it than us most of the time.

*he is in love with pens and pillows. I'm not sure what it is but he is in love with them. He loves to grab pillows and run into walls and bounce off of them, and then he still lands on something soft. lol.

*in the last week, he has been a little less picky which is wonderful. I got him to try mac n cheese, and rice without him spitting it out. My son hates sticky things so unless I feed him, he doesn't really want to touch mac n cheese, rice, any sticky meat like tuna, mashed potatoes, etc. It's caused some frustration and lots of food on the floor. we're hoping this ends soon!

I feel like their are so many more memories and things he's done as of late but perhaps I will share more another time because none are coming to mind. we have a wild child on our hands these days. He loves to move and run and talk jibberish. Hopefully we will make it out alive....
