Tristan's new shower buddy.

A few days ago Tristan thought the cat was dirty and needed to be bathed.  I told him that cats did not like water and cleaned themselves.
 He was really concerned though that she needed a bath, so I told him I would buy some special shampoo for her soon.  About 20 minutes later, I noticed Tristan had climbed into the shower without me asking him.
 I told Ashton to go tell him it was time to get out.  Ashton came running out telling us that Cleopatra was in the shower with Tristan.  Tristan has gotten her out of the shower before I was able to get there.
But there was no hiding this wet kitty.  She was surprisingly calm.  Even when I dried her a little with the blowdryer.  I couldn't help but laugh and I wanted to be upset at Tristan, but it was just to dang funny.

Look Who Turned One!

                            I Can't believe a year ago I was in the hospital holding our new baby Logan.  It feels just like yesterday this little man blessed our home.  The past year has been wonderful and we are so thankful to have him be in our family.  He has been a joy!
Of course the boys couldn't wait to give him a gift (ok... me and Das as well).    It is so much fun to watch him interact with this doggy.  And he claps and wiggles along with it.  The cat was also entertained. 
 After opening presents we cooked up his favorite breakfast.  Banana and Nutella crepes.  He scarfed the whole thing down.  He even ate more then his "big brothers."
 He really eats everything though.  I don't think there is anything he hasn't eaten that we have put in front of him.
Even switching him over to milk (yes guilty of switching early) was easy.  I am excited to see how much he weighs at his appointment tomorrow.

Later that afternoon we headed into my parent's house to pick up the banana/chocolate/whipping cream cake that my mom had made. My favorite growing up...and still is.  Das had some things to take care of in Holladay, so we hung out at my parents for a while.  Logan LOVES pianos! 

 My mom then gave Logan the gifts they bought him.  She got him some pj's, a stuffed elephant, and a darling winter suit. 

When we got home, we let him open open his last present.  He really liked this one.....for about 10 minutes. lol  That's what I have found with my other children.  Toys only keep their attention for a short time, and then they are back to the simpler things. I could rewrap these gifts for him for Christmas and he wouldn't even know the difference.  But that wouldn't be any fun now would it? lol 

We then turned out the lights and sang him happy birthday.  He went to town on his cake.   By the time he was done, Das had to put him in the shower and change his pajamas.  It is so much fun to go back and look at the pictures throughout the year and to see how much he has changed.  He's crawling all over, up and down the stairs, into the cat food and cupboards, etc.  He can get off the couch and bed by himself.  He hates to sleep in his crib and loves to kick me and Das all night in our bed.  But he melts everyone's hearts.  They have started calling him the mascot in Primary cuz he'll go to just anyone.  He dances and claps to music.  He loves to turn the tv off to get our attention.  He tries to comb his own hair after I've combed it.  He's a beast when eating ice cream.  He follows the boys around everywhere.  He tortures the cat.  And he loves to cuddle!!!  Each of our boys have all been different and special in their own ways. We love our curly haired little man more than we could ever put into words.  Happy Birthday Logan!
