One of Logan's favorite Christmas gifts...a fish tank!!

Here is Logan running down the hall because he sees his new fish tank.

Here he is pointing to his new fishies!

If you look really close at this picture you can see his look of amazement! I love it!

Here is a close up of the tank!

This is a close up of the fish we call Oscar. He is the grouch of the tank. He already ate one of our small fish. :(

Baby # 2!

Well we found out yesterday that we are having another baby BOY! I am sure that Logan and the new little one will be terrors together since they will only be 18 months apart but we are excited to have two little guys around.

The ultrasound went pretty good. We saw him sucking his thumb, quite well may I add and Scott said that Logan MUST have taught him that one! He was wiggling his legs like crazy and moving around well.

There was one abnormality. The doctor saw a small white spot on his heart. This is called a Echogenic intracardiac focus (EIF). Here is a little bit about and (EIF)...."This is thought to represent mineralization, or small deposits of calcium, in the muscle of the heart. EIFs are found in about 3-5% of normal pregnancies and cause no health problems.
Researchers have noted an association between an EIF and a chromosome problem in the baby.

Types of chromosome problems that are occasionally seen include Trisomy 18 or Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). In the case of an isolated EIF, and no other ultrasound findings, some studies show that the risk for a chromosome abnormality is approximately two times a woman’s background risk. Other studies report up to a 1% risk for Down syndrome when an EIF is seen on a second trimester fetal ultrasound exam."

So all and all we have a small risk of having a little boy with Down Syndrome. We hope of course that this is not the case but if it is the case we are not scared. I truly believe that those children are amazing. They are always SO happy and seem delightful. Of course there would be trials that go along with having DS but how will we ever grow in this life if we never having anything pushing us?!

Now it is just a waiting game. We won't know anything else until we see the little guys face! I could have more testing done but to me there is no reason. He either has it or he doesn't. If he has it I will love him the same as I do Logan and I will take him home the same as I did Logan, hopefully!!!

Going Private...

I am going to go private with my blog soon so if anyone would like to be invited to see my blog please email me and I will add you ....thanks!!

ONE YEAR OLD!!!!

Logan had a great first birthday. We actually celebrated it a day early out at my uncles beach house with family that was in town. It was nice to have them all around to help us celebrate this big day! Scott and I made Logan's cake, although it was mostly Scott. I did draw up the design but Scott decorated the cake. I LOVE how it turned out. The logo stands for the loganator!!!

He LOVED all his presents. Like you can't tell by the look on his face and the hooray action in these pictures!

He had seen most of the toys that he received before since Scott and I always take him to the toy isle at the store. But the look on his face when he saw those same toys in his hands at his house was a real "surprise" look. Can you see it......

My mom got him a star toy that you put the shapes in and out of and he loved the noise they made when he would bang them together and throw them on the tile floor. That was the first present that he opened and probably would have been fine with just that but he also LOVED the other car toy and lap top that he got!

When we let him dive into his piece of cake he just wanted to devour it. The problem was that usually he has a clean thump to suck on that helps the food slide down his throat, this time it was also full of cake and icing so he wasn't quite sure what to do.

Here he is in the sink getting sprayed off. It was much easier going 5 feet to clean him off than going all the way down stairs. He loved the spray mechanism. He would laugh when it would touch him!

On Logan's REAL birthday we let him open the gifts that Scott and I bought for him, plus one more from Grandma Pat. He was a little confused about the wrapping paper because the day before the gifts were in bags. He finally figured it out with a little help from his mom.

Here is all of the toys that he got except for an awesome outfit that aunt Corie sent him that says "FEED ME" on the front of the shirt. That should be Logan's middle name. I have never seen a baby eat as much as him.....I swear.

I thought I would just let Logan know how much his mom and dad love him. This year has been one of the greatest years of our lives so far. We have loved to see you grow in all aspects of life and couldn't imagine not holding and cuddling our sweet little Logan every night and getting our sweet kisses in the mooring.

Our favorite times with you are just hanging out with you in your room right before bed when you have just got out of the bath and are waiting to be dressed for na-na time. You love to crawl around like crazy naked and then once you are dressed you head straight for your books or think it is time to use mom and dad for a jungle jim.

You bring such a smile to our faces every day with your cute little laugh that you seem to do every chance you get and the corky little things that you do. We love to see you fast asleep in your crib sleeping so peacefully and in the morning when we hear that cute little squeaky voice of yours that lets us know you are ready for the day!

I hope that we will have a great 2nd year together and that when it becomes the 4 of us in May that we will have even greater memories to share with you and your new sibling. We love you Logan and couldn't have asked for a better child to have as our little Loggy Bob!!!!

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with lots of family. Scott's parents, my aunt Davina, my uncle Roger, his boys and his mother Mimi were all out at Roger's Beach house.

All of the ladies had a hand in preparing something for the dinner which was sooo scrumptious. Then we had a massive bonfire that the guys took care of that night.

Of course Logan was enjoying every second of the attention he was receiving from the family.

As you can tell by the hoodies and fire that it actually does get cold here. We all were FREEZING and then realized it was only 55 degrees outside! You really do become weenies once you are actually here, TRUST ME!!

Our First Pumpkin Patch!

Random pictures with a video of Logan first time walking

Logan loves to be naked and to play in the water so we put the two together!

Random Pictures

This is a blurry picture but it shows his new haircut. I almost cried when it happened because I LOVE his long fluffy hair. It was an accident. Here are some of his friends he sees and plays with at the Library when we go for story time.

Here is Logan soaking up all the books he can at once! He loves books!

This is our other friend Gabrielle from church that we see every week. She is only a day older than Logan and soo cute!!! We went to story time today and afterwards hung out in the baby section of the library where they had these little rocking chairs!!
