So many many firsts

Logan is now 10 months. It has been awhile since I last gave you all an update. Sorry about that, I have been busy with starting school and home life. I wish that I could be better like some people, but all my writing lately has been for school. So let's get on with the updates, shall we?

Like I said Logan is now 10 months. He is about 18 lbs and 27". He is still in the 5 percentile. But his growth is perfect. He is just a little guy. He is smiling and talking babbling a lot. He is a talkative little man. His first word was 'Dada' this happened a day after Logan's 6 month check up. We were driving in the car on our way home and all of a sudden Logan said 'Dada!' After that point and to this day, everything is 'Dada' He does say 'Mama, but very rarely and he says 'Nana' for 'Mama' I think it's cute. He is also pulling himself up and standing while holding on to something. He has been doing this since he was about 8 and half months. He has also started crawling. He started crawling when he was 9 months. He also finily cut his first teeth. That's right, he didn't cut just one, but two! His two bottom middle teeth. It's really cute. He, I believe, is cutting more now, so we will see what happens in the next few weeks. He is also waving, clapping, and high fiving. All these just happened in a span of a week while we were in Hawaii last week! I can't believe how all that happened in the same week! It's just amazing! I have cute stories about that later on in the blog.

Logan in just a happy guy, and one of the cutest babies. I know that I am bais because he is my son, but take this for what it is: No matter where I go, even walking down the street or picking up my mail, if there is anyone around, they will come up to me, top me, and play with Logan. Smiling at him touching his feet or hands. Logan oves this so he will always smile back, and that just makes their day! They always ask how old he is, and tell me what an adorable baby he is. I must give myself AT LEAST 10 mins extra just so that way people can stop and talk with Logan. And it's not just one person, it's almost anyone who sees him. I can hear people talk about what a cute baby Logan is when I walk away if they didn't get a chance to talk to me. It's really crazy. Now that he can wave and clap, it's even cuter! I guess I have to give myself more time when I go to Target or whatever. So don;t take my word for it, take all the strangers words! I have entered Logan in a cute baby contest. The winner gets a year supply of clothing from Carter's. I hope he wins, but he needs your vote. Please vote and vote and vote for Little Logan here at Carter's Cuties Photo Contest on Nov 24-Dec 24. Thanks for your support!

Okay now on to our family honeymoon/birthday in Hawaii. It was fantastic. So relaxing, so beautiful. We didn't do that much we had breakfast at the Gazebo Cafe. We didn't know at the time that this was the best breakfast in Maui. We just happened to be out and about on our way to Lahanna, and we were starving. So we asked a woman walking where there was a breakfast spot. She told us to follow this road a long way and we will find a place to eat. We found it, and there was a line. I guess we got there about 15 mins before they opened. It was muggy and was drizzling a little bit, we were so hungry that we decided to wait for it to open thinking that once it opened we would be seated fairly soon. While in line we were talking to the other people waiting in line who told us that this was a famous spot in Maui. We didn't know it was an actual gazebo! So once it opened I think we waiting for another 30 mins. We got a GREAT spot right by the 'window'. The food was good, and we have a lovely view of the rainbows. Got some great pictures which you can find on my Facebook account. The rest of the trip was exelant. We did the road to Hana, ate at Kinmos in Old Lahanna, and ate at the famous Mama's Fish House. All GREAT food. We also went to the aqueame. It was really neat to see all the fishes and sea turtles. They have one of the only Tiger Sharks in all the US and the world in fact. Couldn't take a picture of the shark because it swam by us too fast to take one. So I had stated that Logan started waving, clapping and high fiving in Hawaii. Well, it started with waving. We were walking a trail at the Twin Falls when people were walking by, Logan would raise his hand in the air and move his fingers up and down, kind of like the milk sign. It was so cute almost everyone stoped and laughed and smiled at us. That was the first. I have been working with Logan on clapping for awhile maybe like 2 months. I would clap my hands together and sing a sng I learned from my sister Valerie. When I would hold Logan he would pat me on my back and make the slapping noise. Well, I guess he figured out how to do it with his own hands. He just started clapping all of a sudden. When he made the noise himself he looked so proud. He would stop and start smiling and laughing. Kevin and I were so excited. Then Kevin started working on the high five. He would hold his hand out to Logan and say 'High five' then get Logan's hand and slap it lightly. Well, while we were waiting for our plan to arrive to go home, Logan did it himself. He likes the sound. Now you can hold out your hand and if Logan wants to, he will hold out his hand and slap your hand. He laughs almost every time! It's just so amazing! Logan also pulled himself up and stood for like 3-5 seconds clapping, then fell down. He hasn't done it since, but I'm saying that was his first time! He may not do it again for awhile, but both Kevin and I saw it in the mirror.

Well, that's the latest. I hope you enjoyed reading up on Logan's progress. I will keep you updated on all of Logan's firsts and cute stories. I will also keep you updated on my school (which is going ok). Have a great time in whatever you are up to!
