Happy Birthday, Logan!

Happy Birthday, sweet boy!

We made it a year!  You came into this world fast and furious and you are still bulldozing your way through it!

You have a lot of determination.  You know what you want, and you are going to do what it takes to get it.  This quality can be a little difficult to deal with when young, but it will get you far in life.

Despite being a little impatient (you did arrive in an hour and fifteen minutes!) and persistent with your wants, you are a pretty laid back little guy.  You have a sweet and go with the flow spirit about you that reminds me of your daddy.  I'm anticipating you two being personality twins!

You love to climb, explore, tumble, and inspect.  Life through the eyes of a little boy is so fun.  You turned our lives upside down when you joined our family on that snowy night, and I have a feeling you have so many more fun adventures to take our family on.

You are definitely a mama's boy!  I told your sister before your arrival that I needed a boy so that at least one of my children will cuddle with me.  You aren't really into cuddling so much (we are 0 for 2 in that department?!), but you do love to be held.  You want to know where I am at all times. If you even think that I am headed toward the stairs or out of your line of sight then you let it be known that you do not like that one bit!

Even though I hold your heart, your face always lights up at the first sight of Boppa.  You even get excited just by hearing his voice on the phone.  You are going to be best buddies for sure.  You also have a fondness for your sister.  You two are still trying to figure things out.  You both have an awe and appreciation for the other, but there is also that little bit of sibling rivalry that pops in now in then with hair pulls or snatched toys.  I know you will always have her back, though.  You are going to be the best brother ever.

You have the best smile. EVER.  And you are already so funny.  You know it too.  Your smile can brighten anyone's day, and your giggles are the best.  They way you use your facial expressions as a form of humor both impresses me and makes me proud. :)

Logan, you are the perfect little caboose to our family.  You bring fun and adventure and keep us on our toes.  You shower us with love and affection and keep our spirits high.  You are just such a fun little boy, and I can't imagine our life without you.  I'm so blessed to be called your mom.  Son, you have my heart.  I hope you have a great new year learning and exploring.  I look forward to tagging along.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUBBY!

I LOVE YOU!
