A Perry Family Christmas 2011
We have been busy this month getting ready for Christmas. We started with a trip to one of the local farms for the Perry Family Christmas tree. Last year when we took Logan, he was only 4 weeks old. What a difference a year makes.
Also, our decorated tree looks a lot different this year than from years past. We do not have any ornaments on the bottom half of the tree. Logan does not mess with the tree too much. He just likes to pat it like he does Rocky. But I would rather not take my chances that he is going to take off ornaments and try to eat them.
We went to see Santa last week. Logan, as I predicted, cried as soon as he was placed on Santa's lap. I cannot get enough of pictures of babies crying on Santa's lap. I think they are such great pictures and I am so happy we have one of our boy doing the same thing.
I don't think he calmed down enough to tell Santa what he wants. Some how, I think Santa will get the message.

13 Months Old
I am not going to do the bear pictures anymore. I think that is a little much to do every month after turning a year old. However, as life permits, I will still try to do the month in review.
Over the past month, Logan has become quite the climber. He can now climb all the way up the stairs without falling (not that I would give him the opportunity to). He also loves to climb on the fireplace hearth. He will sit up there so proud of himself, like it is his throne. I wish he would learn how to climb down without face planting.
Logan's love affair with books continues to reach new heights. If you ask him to "pick out a book," he crawls right over to the basket and pulls one, or 5, out. And he has recently started to have favorite books. I find I read some 20 times a day. He also wants to share his passion for reading. The other day he took a book to Rocky. The dog was very confused.
While Logan is not walking by himself, he is walking all around the house while holding on to a hand. He loves to walk and would do it all day if I would oblige. He really loves to walk with something in his free hand: a sippy cup, a car, a book for the dog. When I tire, he loves to push anything he can around. His spends as much time pushing his Cozy Coupe as he does riding in it.
Logan learned to wave a few months ago but now loves to wave at dogs. Every morning, he waves at Rocky when we come down the stairs. Whenever Rocky comes into the room, he waves at him. He did the same thing with Mackie's dog over Thanksgiving. He will also wave if you say "say hi to (insert dog's name)."
Over the past month, Logan seems to be playing with different toys. He still loves his stacking rings and cups, but he now also loves to play with trucks and love on stuffed animals. He also loves to push things like balls and cars.
Logan's only recent new word is "yeah" or "yeah, yeah." He did it all the time for a few days with a head nod. He has now dropped saying "yeah" and will just do an exaggerated head bang. He also loves to make a motion that seems to convey "I don't know" or "what is that?" He did it non-stop the 1st day that we arrived in Florida. He also thinks he can moo like a cow. Ask him "what does a cow say" and Logan responds with "mmmmmm." It's so cute.
Logan, while still finicky at times, he has become a better eater. He usually eats what we are eating for dinner. He loves Mexican food as much as his Daddy does, which is a good thing since I seem to cook so much of it. And I am finally to the point where he feeds himself everything except oatmeal and yogurt. This is liberating. While he likes to eat, Logan seems to have a weird negative association with food. He will not eat in front of a group of people. More than 3 or 4 people in the room and he will not eat. We learned this the hard way at Thanksgiving. We now know to make adjustments for Christmas so we don't have another holiday meal meltdown.
