Holy Moly!

Well, Logan is almost 11 months old now. Can you believe it? I surely can't. The time has flown by all too quickly it seems. He's such a big boy now! He's almost walking.. I'm sure by the time he's one he'll at least be taking a few steps. He is such a funny little kid. He's definitely got his daddy's personality, that's for sure! He laughs at everything, and now he's started trying to scare people. He will sit in his highchair and pretend to be asleep and then throw his hands in the air and go "ahhh!". He cracks me up. He also makes this face where everything is scrunched in together and then he wheezes!

He's eating a lot more food now, most of the time we just give him a little of whatever we are having. If we don't, we better watch out!

He loves to wrestle too. If Daddy or I (or both of us) are laying on the floor, we better be prepared for a pummeling of little body. He has absolutely no fear of anything. Not strangers, jumping of the bed, falling over toys or Mom and Dad.

For Memorial Day weekend, we were so lucky that we got to fly out to Colorado to see Amanda and my Mom. Amanda graduated High School (tears) and was the salutatorian of her class. Her speech made me bawl. She graduated with a class of 30 people (a lot different than my 350!!) and they took the time to say very nice things about each graduate. The graduate also got to write a thank you list that the announcer read. When they got to Amanda's, she made me cry so much (I think you can hear it on the video lol). She thanked Dad for being her hero, and I would just like to say right now that I feel the same way and that we all bawled for that. Then she thanked me for always knowing how to cheer her up. That was so sweet and I was really very touched by it. She also thanked Mom for being a good mom.

Logan did remarkably well during the trip. It was his first ever airplane trip and he was such a good little boy. On the way there we were traveling with my Dad, grandparents, aunt and uncle. Logan slept for part of the way and then ate and played with toys the rest of the time. Everyone on the plane commented how good he was!!

On the way home, I was a lot more nervous as I was traveling by myself with him. Grandma Dee and Grandpa Don took us to Denver (3 hours from Mom's), and Grandma Dee helped me get on an earlier flight since we were there so early and then took me to security. Thanks guys!!

We were delayed for an hour due to tornadoes in the area, yikes! The airport kept closing intermittently so they plane we were waiting to arrive took awhile to land. We finally got on the plane and then it took about another 45 minutes to actually take off since there were a lot of planes waiting. Logan got a little fussy in the airport but we walked in his stroller a lot and he finally fell asleep right before we got on the plane. He slept nearly the whole way home.

Before he fell asleep though, he made a little girlfriend. It was too cute. There was a little girl named Holly who was only 2 weeks older than Logan. They played ball, and tried to explore each others faces. They also sat by the escalator together and pounded on the window when they saw people. They were on our flight too. It was nice for Logan to have a distraction!! Thanks Holly and your Mom and Dad (who I didn't get their names..)

All in all Logan was a very good boy. He was definitely ready to be home though. 4 days without his toys, space, and own bed really took a toll on him. But he's back to being a happy camper. I can't wait to get home. :)
