We have had quite the celebration for young Master Logan! Saturday the 18th we had his party.
We got a HUGE surprise when Uncle Jeff and Aunt Sam arrived (all the way from South Carolina)!
There were very many gifts to open, from toys and books to outfits with room to grow. We sang, and blew out candles,and Logan smashed his cupcake clear up his nose. We're pretty sure there are still chocolate boogers up there. It was a dream party really, and I could hardly hold back tears as I watched my tiny baby pass this milestone into toddler-hood. What a sap, I know!
One surprise we had to share with everyone at the party is that Logan has started WALKING! He is still learning, and a little jerky, like Frankenstein, with his arms outstretched as he toddles. He's getting to the point now where he stands back up when he falls, instead of just quitting and crawling. So this milestone along with the autumnal weather approaching seemed to dictate that it was time to pick up Logan's first walking shoes! For our family celebration today we took him to Payless where he measured at a whopping size 5 shoe! We picked out a pair of black airwalks and a pair of brown Stride Rites that we found on a good deal at Marshalls. The Stride Rites have a thinner more flexible sole he seems to prefer. But watching him try to walk in shoes reminded me of my first time in snorkelling flippers. It will take some practice for sure!
After picking out his shoes we went out in search of Banana Cream Pie! Jason had a banana pudding cup a couple of weeks ago and Logan went CRAZY for it, demanding a second cup and eating most of it himself! So after that I figured that he would LOVE some banana cream pie. :) We found it at Baker's Square, and when we arrived with Logan in his birthday crown, we requested that they save us one of their last slices especially for him. The ladies were all very sweet and tickled that he was spending his first birthday with them. They brought his pie with a candle in it and sang for him, and his slice was even on the house! And much as expected, it was a gooey, creamy, banana-y hit!
Happy Birthday sweet boy. Mommy and Daddy love you so much.
This has been the best year of our lives, and we look forward to many more!
