Logan is One!

 I absolutely cannot believe that my baby boy is now one year old!  Our first year with precious Logan seemed to go by in a flash and was filled with so much happiness and wonderful memories.
We decided that we would keep things simple by celebrating Logan's special day at home with our close family.  As we sadly expected, my mom was still in the hospital on his birthday and I couldn't imagine celebrating without her.  The only thing to do was move the party to her hospital room, minus the rest of the family.  It was a great time!  We had snacks, cake and presents galore.  As Logan opened his gifts he seemed to be more interested in the wrapping paper rather than the actual gift (silly boy is completely fascinated by any paper product).  I think his favorite gift was the xylophone that we got him because he loves to make music.
Sins and I stayed up super late the night before to make Logan's smash cake and cake.  Sins made an awesome little soccer ball (of course) for him to smash and I made a cake for everyone else to eat in the shape of a number one.  They were fun to make and best of all, they were made with love.  It would have been so much easier to buy the cakes but I prefer the taste of "home-made" cake, rather than store bought.  Logan was not very interested in his smash cake at first and staying true to his character the faces he made during the first tastes were overly dramatic.  He eventually realized that he really did like the taste and eagerly ate the icing but did so very delicately, without making a mess.

It's not exactly beautiful but it sure was yummy

He quickly figured out how to unwrap his presents

So excited to bang on his xylophone

Studying to see how it works
