All About Logen.

All About Logen

Oh man, I love my little boy's blonde curls. His hair has become a bit crazy. After his naps, he looks like einstein and being ALL boy, he gets food, dirt, and anything he can find in it possible but I LOVE it. Perhaps its because we waited SO long for him to get any hair, or maybe it's because I never had curly hair and am a little jealous but I have a feeling those curls won't be there forever so I insist on keeping it long and "fuzzy". lol. 

An update on Logen since I haven't done one in a while. He is doing well and learning to open doors (which is why I have ordered door knob handles in hopes of keeping him out of places a bit longer). He still is the same wild boy he's always been. He loves to run back and forth, bang his head against pillows, jump and roll off of the couch. He's also had some naughty things including but not limited to: eating pencil erasers, drawing on the walls with crayons, drawing on his knee with a pen, hitting mom when I say "no", kicking the door while in time out after hitting mom, and roaring at lilly while chasing out kitty lilly around the house. He also enjoys dumping his water cup every once in a while in nursery and eating the crayons in nursery. I thought he would be out of the putting weird things in his mouth phase but apparently not. We are working on it.

He still loves his paci. We have a hard time keeping it away from him and that will get even harder with a newborn I imagine but for the most part, he only has it during his nap and bedtime.

He loves movies. He doesn't really sit and watch them. He likes to act them out in the living room while they play. His favorites include Cars, Toy Story, Mulan, and Tarzan. He also really enjoys Curious George & Sesame Street. I don't let him watch movies and tv all day long but when he gets to, he gets super excited.

 His favorite things to do during playtime is: #1. run, #2. play with legos (he loves legos), #3. run again (especially outside) He also is really enjoying daddy storytime at night with his new disney pixar storybook he got for christmas.

Now while he is the silliest boy I have ever seen and is developing physically like crazy (he is tall!), he still hasn't figured out his speech very well yet. We are working on it and he is getting an evaluation in the next week to see what extra help we can give him to encourage that and figure out what is going on.

Either way, our little Logen is not really little anymore and he when he slows down which is rare (he will give kisses now!!!) :) which is my favorite thing taht he does these days.

my little toddler.

As of late, logen has become more and more like a toddler. Their have been the tantrums, the fake crying, the devilish smile when I know he is up to something, and the ability to destroy anything he comes in contact with. haha

I hate it but I love it too! He is so smart and figures things out so fast that it makes me very proud but at that the same time I'm saying "no, please don't do that again!"

Well since he is 18 months, I thought I would post some things about my wild logen:

• he likes to make this really cheesy grin and squint his eyes so he can't even see. He usually does this when we are laughing because of something.
• recently I saw him closing his eyes and trying to walk blind. lol, I have no idea where he learned it. 
• he still is obsessed with curious george. He loves that show. 
• he is also still obsessed with any disney pixar movie, especially cars. 
• he will say a few words with lots of coaxing: up, uh-oh, thank you (sorta), and once in a while he says something that sounds like "love you"
• he has been practicing a somersault!!! he hasn't mastered it yet but it's only a matter of time. 
• he is the tallest 18 month year old ever! lol, he's in the 90 something percentile. we're hoping he's a laker. 
• his hair is out of control---it's tons of wavy fuzz. he will be getting a hair cut very soon on the bottom but I don't want to lose the wavy curls just yet. :(
• he is enjoying legos and starting to put them together a bit. These are probably his favorite toy but he still really just likes to run back and forth. 
• he still puts things in his mouth! this needs to stop ASAP, it drives me crazy. He puts dirt, sand, magnets, lotion, etc. in his mouth any opportunity he can. I have to watch him like a hawk. 
• he has put sunscreen in the carpet, colored on the walls, drew on our new arm chair with pen, pulled all of the toilet paper off of the roll in the bathroom, and baby powdered the bathroom floor.
• he's more willing to give hugs now, I love that part. 
• his favorite book is "is this my dinosaur?" 
• he has started trying on other people's shoes and wandering around in them. 

I love my wild, crazy, rambunctious, and sweet heart- - LOGEN.
