The Happiest Baby on the Block



Logan, from day one, has proven to us that he truly is the "Happiest Baby on the Block". Logan has a happy demeanor, pleasant personality, easy-going nature, and loving spirit. And today, his big personality shined during our first "Mommy and Me" swim class. He loved every minute! He was all smiles from the time we opened the doors to the pool, to the time we were getting out. The other mommies in the class kept saying, "he is just the happiest baby! He can't stop smiling!". He laughed, splashed, and danced in the pool. He tried blowing bubbles, floated on his back, and had so much fun sliding down the slide independently! Logan is noticeably the oldest in the class (I think the youngest is 10 months old.); so while most of the babies were clinging to their mommy's sides like little koala bears, Logan was trying to propel himself away from me! He didn't want me to hold him! He would jump off me and lunge for whatever he saw as interesting! He made me laugh and smile so much during our class. I took these same swim classes with Ben when he was a baby, and Ben enjoyed them too---but there was always an underlying illness present in his sweet body that prevented him from being truly happy. Today, in swim class, Logan was the definition of happiness. And I am so thankful for having the "Happiest Baby on the Block".
