Super Logan!

"Supa!" yells Logan as he frolics through the yard.

As you may or may not know, Logan received this adorable Super "L" cape for his birthday from his friend Jackson. He wears it regularly and truly believes it makes him go faster.

You, Me, Yemeh and Logan

DISCLAIMER: This post will be confusing. Pay close attention as it may be difficult to follow!

Mommy: "Who wants a pepper?!"

Logan: "You!"

Mommy: "Me?"

Logan: "No, you...er...me"

Mommy: "You do?"

Logan: "Me!"

Mommy: "Who wants a pepper?"

Logan: "You, Yemeh!"

What a conversation, right? It really doesn't make much sense. It doesn't make sense because Logan thinks his name is you. After telling him over and over, "No, you do it," or "You want one?" he has come to believe his name is you. After much correction, he will catch himself and say, me. And after a lot of prompting he will use his actual name, talking in the third person, which he pronounces, Yemeh. He talks quite often and annunciates most things pretty well, but obviously has a hard time with his name. Poor guy, it's no wonder he resisted saying Logan for so long!

So, we'll get the hang of it eventually, but for now,

You

Me

Yemeh

&

Logan

are all the same!

Party, Party, Party!

This weekend Logan had his much anticipated, birthday party! We had been obsessively watching the forecast, hoping for no rain...and we got our wish :) It was a little chilly, but sunny and gorgeous for the most part.

The kids ate cupcakes together and everyone sang happy birthday.

The adults enjoyed visiting with one another as the kids played.

And the weather stayed beautiful!

We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family! Logan received such thoughtful gifts. A handmade Super "L" Hero cape, a new bubble mower, a very handy tool box, a pretend pet dog and the necessities to care for him, the most adorable bath toy that is tons of fun in the bath, a super cool water bottle and several new books that we have been reading over and over since the party, as well as many other goodies that I'm sure will be featured on the blog in the weeks to come!

Logan had several of his favorite friends at the party. Unfortunately, I didn't take nearly as many pics as I had hoped for :(

Jackson showed us how to party down since he knows what it's like to have a 2nd birthday party!

Dalton sat back and dreamed of what his first birthday will be like...

Joey from down the street helped out the the little ones and seemed to be practicing since he's a big brother to be. Hallie tried a juice box for the first time and to her mother's delight didn't really care for it! Mason tested out several of Logan's toys and gave the smile of approval, while little Ellie peered around watching the bigger kids in amazement.

Overall, the party was a hit! What a fun time watching all these little ones growing up...

Happy Birthday Logan!

Happy Birthday Logan!! TWO!!

This year we went to Deanna Rose Farmstead again for Logan's birthday. We had such a fun time together, although it was pretty busy with bus loads of school kids (Logan was thrilled to see the yellow school buses though!) We went out to lunch and then out for ice-cream at Logan's request later in the day.

It's amazing to see how much he's changed in so many ways from his first birthday to his second. It should be a wild ride seeing what the terrific two's will bring us... :)

2

2 feet

2 eyes

2 choo-choo's...

...2 buses

2 trees

2 dogs...

To Logan, 2 is his favorite number.

...2 flowers

2 crackers

2 cars...

For Logan right now, there are 2 of everything.

Maybe, it's because he will be 2 tomorrow?

I don't know?
