Logan Milestones and Birthday Update

Big news...Logan can squat down, pick up a toy, then stand back up!! This may seem minor to some, but this is HUGE for us. This means his strength is slowly building in his legs. He also can stand for longer periods of time and even play with toys and raise his arms without holding on to anything. Also, tonight he said "eyes" and he was able to identify my eyes, nose and ears. And there is more!...Dad is most proud of this one, he is signing "Dad". I am SO proud of him!! Oh, and one more thing, he is starting to follow simple one-step directions. Oh....I just thought of something else...I just should have made a list....I found him trying to put on clothes today! It was SO funny! He went into Devin's closet, emptied Devin's underwear bin and when I found him he had three pairs of underwear on up to his thigh...just on one leg, but how amazing is that!! When I found him he was in the process of trying to put socks on as well! He is such a smarty pants!! He knows SO much more than I give him credit for and I feel bad about that. I guess his quiet, observer personality makes me forget that the wheels in his head are still turning and he is absorbing SO much all day!
We have decided on a car them for Logan's party....not Cars the movie, just cars, all kinds...because that is one thing I know he likes. I am looking for any creative ideas for the party! Cake ideas, games, activities...cars, cars and more cars. So far, I have cars for the sandbox, candy cars, car bubbles, toy cars with road rug to play on. I need a car cake idea...
I am SO excited for the party now, but so much work to be done!

It sounds like Logan is doing amazing!! I can't wait to see him in action!

You could make a race track cake - any type of cake, with frosted on race track lines - and then add toy cars to it. If you're looking for something simple!

Yeah Logan!! It sounds like he is doing so well!

I love that he was trying to put on Devin's underwear - too cute!

My SIL made a car cake for my nephew's bday. It was just chocolate frosting which was "dirt". There was some sorta hill thing - I think she maybe made another mini cake to do that. Then she just stuck matchbox trucks on it..like they were monster trucks four wheeling.
