November and December updates

I haven't been great about updating this blog with the busy holiday season.  Here is a quick overview of November and December. 

I will mostly let the pictures tell the overview of the last months.  He is getting so big and is all over the place and into everything.  He can be a little rascal but then flash you his cute little smile and you forget about it.  We can't believe what and amazing year it has been and feel grateful everyday for the amazing fact that we got to adopt Logan.  We hope you all had a great holiday season!

Logan is 8 months old in November

Walked in after nap time and found this- time to lower the crib.

Love it when that little tongue sticks out.

Logan's first Thanksgiving!

Temple square on the warm weekend after Christmas

Favorite Christmas Pj's! "Little Elf" on the bum- too cute

Logan is into everything- His legs are up in the air in this picture!

Logan is truly Mr. Happy- and Mr. Busy too.  He is crawling, climbing,  and standing everywhere.

Logan and Drew with Santa!

One of Logan's favorite places is standing at Drew's chair, he loves his big brother!

Logan is 9 months old!

Enjoying some Christmas fun with Shawntae

My attempt to get a picture in front of the Christmas tree- this was the best I could get.

Logan's first Christmas- he especially enjoyed the boxes and wrapping paper.

Just hanging out with our boys!

New years Eve with cousins.  Poor Logan was sick and not his happy self.

Ours Forever! Logan was sealed and blessed

Forever Family!

Logan was sealed and blessed on Saturday October 25, 2014.  Probably one of the best day of our lives.  Both Drew and Logan were perfect angels for the sealing and the pictures afterwards.  We feel so blessed to have Logan a part of our family.  We will forever be grateful for the decision that Shawntae made to pick us to adopt Logan.

Forever a family!

7 months old!

7 months old!

Logan is 7 months old! He had a Dr appointment and weighed in at 17 lbs 7 oz (30 %) and 28 inches (75%), so he is a tall, thin, super cute baby.  In the past month he has all of the sudden changed and is moving and squirming all the time.  He is sitting up a lot and will be officially crawling any day now (he is army crawling everywhere). He loves to give big long slobbery kisses to us daily, it is super cute. He has 2 teeth and is constantly drooling, so I am sure there are more to come.  We have had fun enjoying the autumn time  with him.

loves to grab the teddy bear

Could he be cuter and is looking too old in this picture.

First time down a slide!

Our attempt at a family "selfie"

Drew picked our these matching shirts for the school year.

Lots of kisses

6 months and legal!

 Sorry for the late post again, life has been busy and great! Logan turned 6 months old in September, he is getting so big and starting to reach and grab at everything (including the teddy bear we take pictures with).  Three days after he turned 6 months old we were able to go before a judge and make him a legal member of our family!!! It was such an emotional day.  Both Ted and I had tears of joy in that court room, and we felt such gratitude for this little miracle in our lives. A day doesn't go by that we aren't thankful for the amazing gift Shawntae gave us!

Picture with the judge after everything was signed and he was legally ours!

Logan is starting to squirm and move a lot, I think he is going to be a busy boy.  He loves to chew on things all the time and now has 2 teeth! He continues to wake up with a big smile on his face and is a happy (squirmy) baby. He is starting to sit up a little (but still needs a little help), and he is rolling and scooting everywhere (crawling isn't too far away).  He is starting to get used to eating a little bit of baby food.  He absolutely loves playing with Drew and will give a smile even when he just hears Ted's voice on the phone.  He is one loved baby here at our house, and we know he is loved by so many other people!
