Logan is 13 Months Old












Hi! It's me Ella! March was a very social month for us. Logan turned 13 months old. He is walking very well. He also follows me around all the time. Every morning Mommy vacuums the floor. Logan and I really enjoy helping Mommy too. So, we take our toy vacuum cleaner and help her clean our floors. But before we clean, we eat breakfast. Logan has started throwing his food down on the floor when he's finished. He really likes this play game. And he's starting to talk a lot too. I'm the only one who understands what he's saying. I really like to let Mommy and Daddy know what he's saying. For instance, if my parents feed me grapes and Logan baby food, I let my parents know that "Logan wants some grapes too". They both laugh and tell me "how funny" I am.

We began a new tradition of getting together with "Baby Emma" for weekly playdates. Our first official playdate with her and her mommy Inger began at the Cheesecake Factory. Emma and my Logan are only a couple months apart. Aren't they cute? Oh, she's the one in her trademark headband. We also had a monthly playdate with our friend Aidan Harrington. He's exactly four weeks younger than my brother Logan. He is a very happy baby. That's him sitting on the floor while Logan is walking behind him. He hasn't learned to walk yet.

We had a visit from our cousins from New Bremen--The Gilbergs. That's Jordan holding Logan. Jordan is a really nice cousin! He played with us a lot and gave us a lot of attention. We love him!

Our friend Alexander had a Birthday this month too. He turned 3 years old. There's a picture of him surrounded by me and another 3 year old friend of his. There's also a picture of his little sister Amelia and Logan trying to escape from the party to go take a break from all the festivities. Luckily, Mommy and Daddy caught them before they left the party. We got a picture of their backs.

It's still cold here. We have to wear our winter coats. Mommy took a picture of us playing Legos in our coats while we went shopping for new window treatments yesterday.

Logan Meets Ivanka Trump


My Mommy is quite the social butterfly. There is a certain season that she is able to get out and attend a few events every year. The first event of the year happened to be Ivanka Trump's New Shoe Collection for Spring 2011. Mommy, Ella and I went to Nordstrom at Tyson's Galleria in McLean, Virginia for this indoor fete. Ella enjoyed rearranging all of Ivanka's shoes that were on display while I enjoyed finger sized ice cream cones and other treats. Ella and I were very calm until it was officially time for Mommy to meet and greet Ivanka. That's when I decided I wanted out of my stroller. I couldn't handle the restraint any longer. Ella was on cue with me to act up--as she decided to run around the store. Here's the best picture Mommy and I took together right as Ella was trying to get in the picture too.
