Vocabulary

I have been developing quite an extensive vocabulary lately. Mom is learning to understand me better, although she is still sometimes confused. Here are some translations of my most favorite words, so if I am talking to you, you can know what I am saying:

• Dadadad = Dad
• No = nose
• Bhah = ball or balloon
• Taz = trash
• Pih = pickle
• Dah = dog
• Bur = bird
• Buh = book

Those are my favorite words, but I am learning others, too.

Mom is now home with me almost all of the time. We have so much fun together. We go on walks in the stroller every day (except sometimes when it is raining), she reads me lots of books, and we play with my green ball. I also get to play outside a lot more, too. It is so much fun.

I really like to help my mom by putting trash where it goes. I know where all of the trash cans in the house are. If Mom or Dad gives me something to put in the trash, I know exactly where it goes. Sometimes I pick up stuff on my own that is garbage and tell Mom I am going to put it in the trash and she tries to take it from me. Sometimes I get mad about it, because I really want to help and I like to throw trash away.

Nap time and play time

It is so light outside now when Mom puts me down for bed. Sometimes I have trouble falling asleep, but I know exactly what to do. I do what Mom does: tell stories and sometimes sing songs. Even though Mom and Dad aren't in the room, I sing songs to myself and sometimes tell myself good night stories. Then I am able to fall asleep.

I went to the doctor today and they gave me more shots. They hurt, but I am brave and only cried for a couple of minutes. Mom talked to the doctor a lot while I played with his toys. I figured out how to use the doctor's toy. It has a light on it and you put it in your ear. I was putting it in my ear on my own without his help. I don't know why he likes to put it in my ear, but it was fun. I get to run around in my diaper at the doctor's and I like that, too.

Now when Mommy and Daddy are at work or school Aunt Jenny comes to take care of me. She is really fun, because she takes me on walks all the time. Walks are my favorite. Jenny knows what I like to eat and when to put me down for a nap. She plays with me and my toys and calls me "Boo". I know my name is really Logan, though. She is silly. Sometimes I miss playing with the other kids when Mom and Dad are gone, but Jenny is really fun. Now sometimes when I go to church I get to play with the toys and eat treats, too, when Mom and Dad teach the bigger kids. I sometimes don't like it when I have to share toys, though, and sometimes I scream about it. When Mom and Dad don't teach the bigger kids I get to hang out with them all day.

I really like cats. I went to Uncle Jared's house the other day and played with his cat. I like his cat, because he doesn't scratch me or scare me. He lets me touch his face and back. As long as I touch softly, he doesn't run away from me. Grandpa's dog is like that, too. I love to play with the dog. I really like animals.

Love,

Logan

I have four more teeth coming in right now. Mom says that's why I wake up sometimes in the middle of the night and need a bit of snuggling to go back to sleep. These teeth are big and it hurts sometimes, but I am brave and don't cry very much about it. Mostly when I am awake I am playing and it I don't notice my teeth too much. I bet that I will really be able to bite things even better when they are done coming in.

Whenever Mom opens the fridge, I always run over and try to grab my favorite snack: pickles. I know just what the jar looks like and where Mom usually puts it. Sometimes she tries to hide it behind something else, but I can always find it. Mom says she thinks I am weird for liking pickles, but she eats them all of the time. I don't think she can tease me about it if she does it, too.

My favorite thing to do is to go outside with Mom and Dad. Last week there were a lot of days when we couldn't go outside very much. It was really cold. Sometimes they let me go outside anyway, and I got rained on or snowed on. Sometimes Dad took me outside I got to play in the snow, but Mom doesn't usually let me. She says it's too cold. I like to pick up the snow and eat it. I like to eat ice cubes, too. Snow is harder to eat. Today the snow was gone again, and I went to pick flowers instead. Sun, rain, or snow, I like to be outside.

I had fun today with mom when she was making the bed. I can crawl up on her tall bed all by myself. Today Mom and I had a pillow fight and she let me jump on the bed. We both like to flop down onto the pillows and then laugh. Pillow fights are fun with dad, too, but I am not as good at throwing the pillows as dad is.
