A couple of cute things...

So there are 2 new and cute things Logan has been doing in the last couple of days. The first involves his name. We have alphabet refridgerator magnets that he likes to play with. His name is spelled out for him, so the other day, we were sitting in front of the fridge, playing with them and I pointed out the letters in his name, saying them out loud as I went, then pointing to him. "L-O-G-A-N...that's you!" (then I would point to his chest). So now when you spell out his name, he jerks a thumb to his chest a couple of times like he's the man...so funny!

The other thing involves pictures. We have a lot of pictures of ourselves and family up on our dining room walls. He looooooves to be picked up and for whoever is doing it to say the subject's names when he points to them. He recognizes all of his immediate family members on sight, of course. But the other day we were playing this picture game and I decided to point out my dad and say "That's your other Grandpa, even though you won't get to meet him". Now when he points at Jon's dad and you say "Grandpa", he then reaches up and points at my dad too. Oh boy, talk about sweet! :)

Holiday wrap up!

Again, here I am with the slacking. Oh well, busy, busy, busy! Christmas was a lot of fun. We did Christmas Eve at our house and Logan really enjoyed opening his presents! Of course, he liked the paper alot more, but once that was in the garbage, he played with everything and seems to like it all so far. He was spoiled, but I think being the only grandchild around, he's gonna be! We saw "Avatar" in 3D that night as well...really good movie! The next day we ate dinner at Jon's parent's house, then saw "Sherlock Holmes"...also a fun one! We were missing Sam (in Italy) and Sara (in Japan) though, but luckily they were home in time for the New Year.

Sam brought his girlfriend Jess home to meet us (finally!). She's from Milan and super-nice. Right now they're both going to grad school in Rome, so this is the first time they've been back since starting the semester. They seem really happy together and I think Jess is good for Sam. Sara had a great time in Japan (as usual)! This was her third (I think) trip there, so she knows her way around. Maybe Jon and I will get there someday!

Logan had his 15 month-old check-up this past Friday. He's 28 lbs and 33 inches tall, which is 75th percentile for both. Getting over a cold now, but other than that, healthy as a kid could be. The pedi said he was "perfect" and that she would see us in 3 months. He got 2 shots, but was over them pretty quickly.

Jon and I had to get a new camera because ours actually died on Christmas Eve (perfect timing!), so I should be getting some pictures up on Facebook once we get the hang of it. It's more technical than the old one, but is supposed to be a very good camera for the price. Three great features for me: low-light pics, action shots, and a rechargable battery!
