52 project – a portrait of logan, once a week, every week, in 2013

this parenting gig keeps getting better and better. i’ve always loved kids and envisioned having a whole slew of my own, but then the whole baby thing intimidated the crap out of me and scared me off. don’t get me wrong, i cherished every moment of babyhood, but a year and a half is definitely where its at. we’ve got ourselves a mini play pal and life currently couldn’t be any sweeter. so with that, eighteen months of logan, calls for eighteen facts about this little spit fire.

1. lo loves shoes and will specifically point them out and won’t stop until you recognize their beauty.
2. if you ask lo how old she is she’ll shoot you a smile, hold up her index finger and say ‘two’.
3. lo now collects my fallen postpartum hairs and delivers them back to me saying ‘hair mama’.
4. always been a book monster. lo can sit and turn pages for a long toddler while and most recently likes to run her fingers over the words and recite the ‘abc’s’.
5. lo has started feeding all of her animals + babies. she takes food to their mouth, makes eating noises and then says ‘mmmmmmm’. cutest thing ever!
6. kid loves cake. so much so that I can’t display my prettiness on the counter anymore. otherwise cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
7. if you sneeze, lo will ‘bless you’. and if she sneezes and you’re slacking off, lo will bless herself.
8. lo can’t get her teeth clean enough…constantly asking to ‘brushy teeth’. I’d say she’s obsessed.
9. lo’s eyes are as black as night and sometimes they seriously stare so deep into you it’s spooky.
10. my favorite is to tickle her thighs or chomp on her neck and be consumed by her adorable giggles.
11. lo asks to be held and rest her head on your shoulder when she’s sleepy now. best part is when she requests you to ‘pat’ her back.
12. sharing is most definitely not lo’s favorite. we’re working on it.
13. my heart skipped a beat this month when lo asked for a ‘hair bow’.
14. lo is a hoarder. we’ll give it some time before we intervene.
15. maybe we should have held off on introducing tv a bit longer, cause lo is always requesting a ‘show’ these days.
16. lo is serious about arts + crafts. a girl after my own heart.
17. daddy is still lo’s favorite. can’t blame her, as he’s my favorite too.
18. dinner time is still the death of us.
