Logan is 18 Months And Evan's Special Day!

Logan turned 18 months old today!  At 18 months Logan is turning out more and more like his big brother, Evan.  They are two peas in a pod.  The two of them wake up super happy and rearing to go.  Unlike big brother Colin, who needs a few minutes to wake up.  Logan still goes to bed very easily.  You just have to lay him down and give him his lovey and he sucks his thumb and goes to sleep.  He is sleeping from about 7:45m to anywhere between 6 and 7 in the morning.  He also usually takes one nap from about 12:45 to 3pm (occasionally longer).  At times he is still tired in the morning and might take a morning nap with a short afternoon one.

Logan is talking a little.  He says "What's this?", Daddy, Ma Ma, bye bye and yes.  He also tries to say shoe and night night.  

He is often very laid back and entertains himself well.  However, when he wants something he will let you know.  He can still be dramatic at times, throwing himself down on the ground when he is upset or crying until he gets his way.  But, once he gets what he wants (which is usually food), he is right back to being happy.  He is a pretty good eater and has just a few things that he doesn't like.  Usually, he eats the fruits and vegetables and it is the pasta or something like that that he wont eat.   Many times he clears his plate and has seconds or thirds.  He especially loves yogurt, cooked carrots, and grapes (and most other fruit).  He also LOVES ketchup and will lick it all up!

Logan seems to be enjoying school.  He doesn't cry at all when Dennis drops him off now and even goes right in and starts looking around for what to play with.  When I pick him up he gives his teachers hugs and kisses goodbye.

He enjoys playing in the basement with his brothers.  As soon as they head down there he runs to me with his shoes, so I will put them on him and take him down to join his brothers.  He likes to dance when we put on music and also likes to ride his cars outside.

He doesn't have another doctors appointment until end of November, so I don't know his stats at this time.  But, time is going by quickly and my baby is getting bigger...

Most Thursdays I get to spend with both Evan and Logan.  However, because Logan missed a day of school last week due to doctors appointments, they allowed us to bring him today to make up the day (since we had already paid for it).

That left just Evan and I for the whole day.  Since I rarely have Evan all to myself, we made it a fun day.  I took him out for lunch and then we went to see The Lion King movie.  Evan really loved the movie.  When it was over he said "That was awesome, do you know what my favorite part was? It was the fighting part".  He went on to talk about the movie the entire way home.

I was glad to spend some time with my middle child.  Being a middle child myself I know how much he probably appreciates some alone time with his Mommy or Daddy.

This evening I went out for my ladies Bunco night.  It was fun to get to know a few more neighbors and I can tell I will look forward to these nights once a month.
