Our Vacation

So, we made it to Arizona and back in one piece! We had to leave a day early to beat the second storm headed to Denver. We drove through the middle of it but made it safely (we missed the first storm by days).

Christmas was great! It was so nice to be with family. We got to do some really fun things. Seth's family put together a hay ride and a nativity where Logan played the baby. He was a little big for the cradle but was a good sport. On the hay ride all of the caroling was too much for him and he fell asleep. It was still a lot of fun. On Christmas eve he got to open his Christmas pj's that I made. We all had matching ones. It was pretty fun. We had a little get together with our friends there and Logan wasn't too sure about baby Maddie. She liked to touch his arm and kiss him (she's only 6 weeks younger than him) and he wanted to pull her eyes out. The different between girls and boys I guess. We enjoyed the vacation and had a hard time coming back to 'real life'. However, we are glad to be home and back into a schedule (even if it means Logan helping Seth fold clothes).

Needless to say, Logan is ever-changing. He still isn't crawling but he rolls EVERYWHERE and is getting into EVERYTHING! He likes to talk (well...yell) and loves to play peak-a-boo. He is starting to pick up on some sign language as well. He can sign 'more' (he uses it all the time when he's eating) and is learning 'please' and 'bath' and 'all done'. He knows the sign for water and gets excited when you show him but he can't figure out how to do it yet. He loves stories and animals! It is so much fun to watch him grow. Thinking back to this past year, I can't believe how much he has changed! We are loving every minute of life with him. He's still and excellent baby...always happy, never cries. We are so blessed!

Here are a few pictures we took during the vaction and when we got home. Logan loves the camera. While opening his presents at Christmas, he had to stop and give a cheesy smile before he could finish!
