A Birthday & An Anniversary

This week was a fun one! Logan's second birthday was on Thursday! He also had his annual checkup, and is in the 40 percentile for height, 13th percentile for weight, and 80th percentile for head. That's a huge step up for height and weight for him (he was in the less than 3 percentile last checkup), but he's always had a huge head.

He talks like crazy all the time! I'm always surprised by what words come out of his mouth. He uses sentences, and will string a few of them together. He's recently started using pro-nouns, but is still learning how to use them right.

For his birthday dinner we had his favorites: hotdogs, french fries, strawberries and apple juice. Logan was in eating heaven. After dinner I was cleaning up the dishes and Dave was packing up his gym bag for the next day and Logan learned to climb up our 6 foot luv sac. 

He must have launched himself off the top, because we heard a loud thump followed by bloody murder screaming from Logan. I ran into the Living room to find him sprawled out face down on the middle of the living room floor. I think he tried to jump off of it. Sadly he ended up with a black eye.

For his birthday Dave made him a sand box, so that was his big gift (with some buckets and shovels). But we still had a few presents to open. He had so much fun opening his gifts and playing with them until bed time.

He had to have at least one toy in each hand for the rest of the day!

We made Logan Strawberry shortcake for his birthday dessert. He was far more interested in blowing out the candles than eating the cake. He probably blew them out 10 times before I had to tell him the candles needed to go to bed.

Finally Dave put some ice cream on Logan's plate, and after he finished that he tried the cake. He enjoyed about half of it before he was full.

Since our anniversary is also on Logan's birthday, we generally celebrate the weekend after. So Logan headed over to my parents house for Saturday and Sunday. He had so much fun! He has been quoting Nemo and requesting ice cream and cookies ever since.

We enjoyed a little break from Logan too. We went out to dinner, saw a movie, and just relaxed! It's nice to not have to worry about the boy, even if everything reminded Dave of Logan.

Monday Logan and I put some stuff away in the shed and pulled out the baby clothes. I went through the infant and 0 - 3 month clothes to see if there was anything we needed to buy for a fall/winter baby. Logan thought the little clothes were pretty funny. Especially the socks. He kept trying to putting them on and laughing.

I tried to explain they were his when he was a baby, but I don't think he got that. He did understand the socks are for the baby though. He kept going though the little hats and shirts. "For baby in mom's belly."
