Happy Birthday Mommy

Christmas came and went and then we celebrated my 25th birthday. We flew home early on the morning of the 26th and so we spent a lot of the day catching up on sleep and household stuff. We debated over and over whether or not to take Logan with us out to dinner because she'd been fussy most of the day and also because sometimes it's nice to actually be able to enjoy a meal out without worrying about finishing quickly to get a fussy baby out of the restaurant. We decided to go ahead and take her with us because it was my birthday and I wanted a family celebration and because we didn't want to have a babysitter deal with a teething, fussy baby who hadn't had enough naps during the day.

I was SO glad we did take her, though! She was such a good girl, smiling and giggling with/at everyone and didn't fuss a bit. She sat sweetly in her high chair the whole time and tried some mashed potatoes and had quite a bit of water with her meal.
She also hit another developmental milestone while we were at dinner and it just MADE my birthday! She learned the difference between yes and no and also learned how to communicate them to us. She signed for more and I assumed she meant more potatoes because that's what I had just given her but she quickly shook her head no and said "na!" and then signed for more again and when I pointed to the water she said "ya" and when I gave it to her she signed thank you. This continued throughout the rest of the meal, it was so much fun!
I think this is my favorite picture of Logan and I to date.
She was a little weary of the guy who took our family picture and this was the best I got, but I'm so thankful that we were able to go out and celebrate as a family.
