Happy 1st birthday, Logan!

Today's the 'lil guy's 1st birthday! Wow...so amazing! We're going to schedule some professional 1 year old pics soon, so I will update on that (and everything else, of course!)!! :)

Mommy and Daddy love you so much, Logan!!!

1st birthday AND walking!

Wow! So Logan took his first unsupported step yesterday (4 different times) and then this morning walked 3 steps in a row! I guess we better buy him some real shoes, LOL! I actually can't wait until he's fully upright and mobile, although people keep telling me not to rush it!

Today was his 1st birthday party. We had Jon's family and my mom there and everybody had a great time! Logan was more hesitant about his cake than I thought he'd be, but he really seemed to enjoy it and played with his new toys afterwards. Oh boy, though...if this was what he got for his birthday, Christmas is gonna be a killer! :D

Catch up!

It's been awhile since I've posted, so I thought I'd hop on and catch things up. In Logan news, he's still in the process of learning to walk. He's getting really good at standing on his own and will do it for 10-15 seconds at a time, sometimes. He can't get enough of walking all over the house and has even graduated to one-hand holding! Jon and I are planning on getting him a walk-behind toy for his birthday - he should really like that! He continues to be just an all-around smiley guy who loves to laugh!

In Jon news, a deal has been made to publish the "Shadow's Son" trilogy in France, which is super-exciting! Another freshly-inked deal just got delievered from a publisher in the UK as well! Also, Germany is looking at it and I think they're going to put feelers out to Japan, as Jon has mentioned to his agent that it might do well there, based on the subject matter. His dream of writing for a living may finally be in his grasp!! *fingers crossed* :D

11 months old!

ZOMG...I can't believe Logan is 11 months old today! The time has gone by so fast. I'm glad we've been keeping up with pictures and video, because someday we'll have to go back and watch/see everything to make sure it all happened! I guess we better start planning a 1st b-day party.... :)

Brushin' teeth!

I brushed Logan's 4 little teeth for the first time last night! He seemed to like it fine. He chewed on the finger brush a bit, but that was about it. I'm going to have Jon try and get some pictures of it tonight if Logan is still cooperative about it. I think I'm going to graduate him to a big boy toothbrush soon though...he bit my finger! LOL!

Getting so close to walking!

Logan has been getting so brave these last few days. He's let go of the couch while standing a few times now and this afternoon, he almost (almost) took a real step! Jon said he did it today sometime, but when I got home, he did it again! He let go...and balanced...and leaned forward...and there it was (almost)...a step...and then he fell into Daddy's arms! He's so close! :)

Dada!

Logan said "Dada" for the first time today...and in front of Jon! It was adorable!

He puts his hands in the air (sometimes) when you ask, "How big is Logan?" "So big!" Awwww!
