Happy Birthday Logan!!

I can hardly believe that Logan turns 8 today. I can remember so clearly the day he was born. Of course your first birth seems to stick in your memory the most. Corey and I felt so inadequate to take him home. Thankfully he was such a great baby. Never really cried that much, even when I had a hard time breastfeeding those first two weeks. He was pure bliss and I treasured every moment we had together.

As I look back I forget how fast the years fly by. Makes me wish I could go back even for a day and enjoy his sweet little smile at 2, hold him in my lap and cuddle him close when he was still small enough to sit on my lap. Now I can basically give him a hug standing up. He has really grown since moving to Maryland. Must be something in the water, but he just sprouted. He loves to read and does it all the time. As his big birthday present we got him his own scripture combo, which I explained cost a lot of money and to be careful with them. He has already started to read it.

Logan has always been the one to know right from wrong. He still makes his mistakes, but he will always be the first to stand up for what is right. I am so proud of him and the things he already stands up for. He is so kind hearted as well, and will try to include his sister even when Gabe is so against her joining. He will cuddle with everyone and he has even come up with a sense of humor somewhere along the way. I had to take pictures of my scrape book pictures because they are not on my computer. I hope that you can see most of them ok. They are not in any order, but they bring back so many memories of my little Logan. I am truly blessed to have him in my life.

This was taken at Samm's blessing (his cousin) and so that is Samm Rollins on the left, Alyssa Johnson in the middle and Logan on the right. I love love this picture.
