Turning one has brought on a whole new set of challenges. Gavin and Logan steal toys from each other like crazy and they aren't content unless they have the other ones toy. It's certainly making life interesting because they both end up being mad. Generally when they fight over toys, Logan wins, and smiles a little smile that seems to say haha. And then Gavin smashes his face in the ground. They also wrestle and tackle. We are working on sharing and giving hugs.
They have also learned how to climb up on the couch which means that they can't be left alone for even thirty seconds. Climbing the couch is cooler than all of their new birthday toys and it's the only thing the want to do. My day consists of lift Gavin off the couch, lifting Logan off the couch and then repeating fifty million times.
Today we set up their new water table and headed outside. After a week of cold, rainy weather it was finally sunny and warm. Gavin loved splashing in the water and pouring water on Bowser. Logan loved laughing at Bowser and crawling around on the cement, no grass yet.
Yesterday Logan had an appointment with his primary doctor regarding all of his ear infections. Next week he will go see an ear, nose and throat doctor to discuss tubes. Hopefully we can come up with a solution that ends the ear infections and gets him sleeping better.

Birthday Party!
Gavin and Logan's first birthday was a success! On their actual birthday we had a pretty low key day. They opened their presents, a little people set, a helicopter and money and puppy pillows. We spent the day at home playing with toys and then ordered their favorite pizza and breadsticks for dinner. Later that night they had cake. At first they weren't too sure what to think of it but then they got really into it. Gavin wasn't a fan of the frosting on his hands but he managed to pick up his piece and take a few bites. Logan smiled the whole time he was eating and was a huge mess by the time he was done.
After cake, the boys had baths and then Logan and I headed to the ER. It turns out he had a double ear infection, which is not a very good birthday present. He is on amoxicillin for ten days and we will most likely end up seeing an ENT doctor to discuss tubes.
We had a big party on Sunday for the boys. So many people came, I think it ended up being about 50. I was a little nervous about the party since it was right during their nap time and Logan had an ear infection. The boys really did great. Logan snuggled with whoever was holding him and stayed pretty serious, but there were no tears or meltdowns. Their friend Sofia was a big help when opening gifts since the boys really weren't too interested. They received so many gifts, clothes, toys, and college fund money, they truly are blessed to have so many great people in their lives.
After gifts we moved onto smash cakes. Logan had a puppy cake and Gavin had a monkey cake, those animals were on their first hats and they have been a way to separate stuff for the boys. Gavin really wasnt a fan of the cake. He didn't want to stick his hands in it and preferred to be fork fed cake. Logan was all about getting messy and at one point stuck his face in his cake. Both boys were cute and I can't wait to see the pictures. As soon as all of the guests left, the boys quickly crashed.

One Year
It's hard to believe that it's been a year since Gavin and Logan were born. Some times it feels like it's flown by and other times it's hard to remember what life was like before them. Either way, we are so blessed to be the parents of healthy, happy, wonderful little boys. I couldn't ask for better babies. Their personalities made it easier to have two babies at once. Happy birthday to my sweet boys, we love you more than you will ever know.
I couldn't think of anything amazing to say on their first birthday, I'm kind of at a loss for words. So, instead of talking about the last year I decided that I'd do pictures of their past year. Enjoy a year in the life of Gavin and a year in the life of Logan.
