Christmas Eve and 17 months!


Yep. Like I said...full on Toddler Behavior happening at The Gould household! Haha - he cracks me up. Clenched fists, shaking them while stomping his feet and scrunching his little sweet face. Fun times folks, fun times. But even in a fit he looks adorable, right? :)


lets just say he was NOT in a mood to have pics taken - its harder and harder to come by these days. He is on the move all the time so any sitting still just usually doesn't happen :)

Fake cheesin'


And don't worry - he didn't wear this mismatched outfit all day :)



One little smile!


Practicing his dancing skillz

At 17 months Logan is...

1. wearing size 5 diapers

2. still a super picky eater - eats bananas and waffles for bfast, toast, cheese cubes, and puree for lunch, snacks are cheese and yogrut or puffs, and dinner is PB toast, more banana, and puree. Yogrut melts and crackers in between - he LOVES crackers!!! I always put an array of other foods on his tray like corn, greens, pears, peaches, etc but he never tries them. On a side note - the other day I got ChickFilA for lunch a kiddie meal and he was eating lunch too so he asked for a cracker as I spread some chicken and french fry on his tray just seeing if he would try it. I said "yes cracker" and he gobbled up the chicken and fry!!!!!! Maybe thinking it was a cracker??? I couldn't believe it!!! He hasn't touched anything since but hey its a start :)

3. He sleeps GREAT at night! 7 pm - 7-8 am the next morning without waking up at all. Naps are hit or miss. He goes down around 12:30-1 pm and sleeps anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on the day. He loves his burp cloth so we always let him have that while in his crib

4. He is learning new sounds/words all the time it seems! If you ask him about certain animals from his books he will be able to tell you what sound they make. He can say Grrrr like a Lion or Tiger, Moo for Cow, Monkey noise, Woof Woof for Dog, Hoo Hoo for Owl, Neeeigh for Horse, laughs like a Hyena, Grrs like a bear, caw caws for a Bird. He can say Dog, Ball, Mama, Dada, Truck, Car, Wa Wa for water and light, Ga Ga for waffle and other things, etc
He JUST started clapping!!!


He is on the Go Go Go! But he is a sweet cautious child. He definitely also goes against the grain in social settings sometimes - if everyone is in a circle singing or doing something in a group he is the one who fights me to get away and run around :)


He is pretty sturdy on his feet - he is kind of running now too...in the house at least. And he does get upset. Like we went to the wrong gym for a free play bc the address was wrong on the website and he freaked out when we left and he knew he didnt get to play. Of course at this age you can't explain we were going right down the road and he would get to play - all he knew is that we were getting right back in the carseat. I almost dropped him trying to make it out to the car and he had to have his meltdown while I closed the backseat car door and he screamed and cried and thrashed around on the seat next to me for 3-5 minutes. when he calmed down I put him in the car seat and he just sobbed like his little heart was broken :( My sensitive boy


His FIRST art project! Thanks to Lauren - she has great creative ideas from her teacher days and invited us over for handprint trees :) He did NOT like panting his hand to make the tree but we survived and so glad we did it~!



Sweet stinker :)




Clapping!!!


I can't believe its Christmas Eve - oh my goodness where did the year go??? I am thankful and blessed to have health, happiness, and my dear family and friends - and of course this precious precious gift from God. Motherhood is what I always dreamed it would be - an amazing journey that I get to share with this beautiful boy. Feeling very blessed this Christmas!

Merry Christmas Bloggy World!!!
