Logan,
You surprised us with an unexpected natural pregnancy that we didn’t think was possible and gave me the opportunity to experience an amazing labor and delivery that I wouldn’t have changed for the world....except maybe making it to the hospital more than 40 minutes before you were born! At exactly 9 pm on February 11, 2018, you came into this world and completed our family. You made Caleb a big brother and me and your dad parents again for the second time. You are such a strong, feisty, stubborn, sweet boy that keeps us on our toes. Your expressive personality makes us laugh all the time and watching you play with your brother melts our hearts. I can’t believe my baby is a year old already and you’ll be entering toddlerhood soon.
You are becoming such a little boy and losing your babyness every day. You love pushing toy cars around the house and trying to keep up with your brother. You have four teeth, weigh 29lbs and are 21 inches long. You’re right in the 50th percentile for height and weight and 90th for your head. You love watermelon, stroganoff, screaming, throwing food and your sippy cup on the floor, playing with remote controls & your brother, your lovey “Foxey” and bath time. We love getting you naked and watching your naked butt b line it to the bath tub. You have the cutest butt and strong, muscular thighs. I love your gap toothed smile and your expressive personality. You enjoy eating, but have a weird thing with textures. If something doesn’t feel right in your hands, you won’t eat it. Your sleep is still unpredictable; you wake anywhere from once to three times at night and you still take two naps a day.
Your first birthday theme was “Wild One” in buffalo plaid. It was a cold, rainy day but we made the most of it. We had a lot of family and friends join us at our home to celebrate your first year of life. You loved your smash cake and we all enjoyed watching you eat it. Your dad and I made you a “busy board” full of your favorite things and some locks/hinges to spark your curiosity. You had fun playing and were so tired by the time your party was over.
Shortly after your 1st birthday, you started cruising along furniture, using a push walker to walk, standing up on your knees, saying Mom and Momma, and we started the weaning process. I think you’re more ready than I am; I’m trying to cling on to my baby a little bit longer. I know the time is coming and it makes me so incredibly sad at how fast this journey went. You have never been a comfort nurser or loved it, but I’ve enjoyed our bond and looking down at your sweet face while you nurse. There was a time that we were so in sync and within a few seconds of me feeling a let down, you would start to fuss because you were hungry. Now days you’re just too busy to nurse and only do it to go to sleep and when you first wake up in the morning.
I am so excited to watch you grow and become the rough and tumble boy that I know you’ll be. You have made me a stronger mom and every day I am so grateful God blessed me with you. Thank you for choosing me to be your mom, my little meatball. I love you more than you’ll ever know!
Momma
