At one year, Logan is walking/toddling all over the place. He's a great eater and pretty much eats everything we eat now (experience tells us that will soon change). He's also getting pretty strong, often see him hanging off the oven rails trying to climb up to see top of the stove. He's been talking up a storm (though very few people can probably understand). Some words in Logan's vocabulary are:
"MaMa" - usually refers to me (mommy), but he often calls other people and objects in pictures "mama" too so it's unclear yet whether he really understands the meaning of the word. One of Logan's favorite activities is look of family photos on the fridge and find "mama" :)
"DaDa" - daddy. James was very happy when Logan started saying "dada" whenever he came home from work. Of all 3 boys Logan was the first to say "mama" before "dada" though :)
"Mmmm" - the moon. Logan has entered the stage of loving any book that has moon in it so a bunch of old board books are seeing the light of day again. Our second copy of "Goodnight moon" just got a rip in it. The two older brothers are loving showing these books to Logan and pointing out where the moon is on each page.
"Ma" - means more. This is the only word that he also signs consistently.
"NaNa" - 奶(milk). The first thing that he does when I come home from work every evening is point at the couch (where I normally feed him) and say "Na". I'm thrilled that he's still nursing since both N and E stopped at 9 months. I think Logan enjoys comfort of being held more than anything else and these days only nurse for a couple of minutes at a time. We're trying to transition him to cow milk but he doesn't seem to like the taste very much, so might need to switch back to formula for a little while longer.
"Hua" - 花(flower), with almost perfect pronunciation! Sarah has been teaching him to say "hua" when they go for walks to the park. His favorite flower is picture of a daisy we have in the New Zealand trip photo frame.
"BaBa" - Bubbles, a favorite activity in backyard. He likes to walk around waving a bubble wand and will occasionally chew on it!
"WaiWai" - 外外(outside). Whenever Logan is really upset (such as after a bad fall, and unfortunately there has been several), one trick that will always work if we're inside the house is to go 外外. He would immediately calm down once outside and if at night time would be fascinated by the lights.
Logan's 1st birthday fell on a Saturday this year. We had a small celebration at home and Logan really enjoyed having people over, especially other kids around. He was more excited about washing his hands in bubble solution than eating his birthday cake. We did the traditional Chinese game and he picked a toothbrush of all the things, looks like we'll be having a dentist in the family!
