Landon's Christmas Wish List

I compiled a list of things Landon wants for Christmas. It's posted at Amazon.com, but really, I think you can find most of these items at Target, Wal-Mart, Toys-R-Us, etc. Click on the button below to view the list. I'll update it as I find more stuff he wants.

Also, if you want to buy him clothes, he probably needs 9-12 month sizes for the winter, but 12-18 month sizes beyond that. He has a HUGE head, so if you buy shirts, make sure they are polo shirts, button-down shirts or have snaps to open up the head hole. If they don't, they won't make it over his big noggin.

Oh, and here's a picture, just because!

ROAR!

Look at our little lion. What a cutie!!!

All in all Landon had a good first Halloween. He dressed up for daycare and Tonya took some pictures. Here is Landon, Madison (Tonya's daughter) and Nicholas. You can see in the one photo that Nicholas does not like his costume and is trying his best to take it off. Landon was happy as could be though in his (surprisingly) and stayed in it most of the day.

Long time no blog

Wow, it's been more than three weeks since I last updated this blog. Time flies with an active 8 month old. Yup, that's right, Landon is 8 months old tomorrow.

No crawling yet. He certainly tries though. The butt is up in the air and his legs move, he just doesn't know that he needs to move his arms as well. No matter though since rolling gets him anywhere he needs to go. Tonight I had him sitting on the floor in our bedroom while I was in the bathroom. Took my eyes off him for 10 seconds and the kid had migrated his way under the bed!

Eight months old and no teeth either. Boy has he been fussy the last few days though. I certainly hope it's teething otherwise my sweet little baby's personality has completely changed!
Speaking of personality though, what a personality he has! I think some separation anxiety might be starting. He cries when I'm out of his sight now.

Oh, and Landon says mama. It makes my heart melt. It generally comes out as mamamamama.

We don't have another well-baby check until he is 9 months, but unofficially, Landon is about 28 inches long and just over 18 pounds. What a big boy! In fact, Landon was breaking his mommy's arm in the infant carrier so he is now in a big-boy carseat. He's just growing so fast.

That's about all for now. Enjoy the pics!

"Bathtime...my favorite time of the day!"

Fast asleep. Looks awkward, but he seemed fine with it.

"Do you want some of my celery?"

"What did you do to my hair???"

"My first CSU football game. The Rams lost. Good thing I won't remember this when I get older."

These photos are going to take a few posts to get up on the blog. Landon's "friend" Nicholas (the other little boy he is in daycare with) has a very talented mommy. Her hobby is photography but she could easily do this professionally. She took these photos for us last Sunday and did an EXCELLENT job. We are so thankful she offered to do this and very pleased with how they turned out!

A few photos of the Lan-Man!

Riding the horse, well, errr, the saddle at the mall.

Riding the airplane at Brent and Jen's house. Is there a theme here? Mommy and Daddy need to get Landon something to ride.

Tonight we tried a Gerber wagon wheel. It's basically an apple flavored rice puff. He didn't know what to do with it at first, but ended up really liking it!
We took Landon to have some photos taken on Sunday. Here he is after we got home. I think we tired him out.
Who could resist this face??? How adorable!
