A Facelift?

That's right folks, Landon's blog has received a facelift! Enjoy the new layout and the new photos of our little man. He's growing up so fast (**sniff, sniff**).

He needed a better view outside. He climbs on everything.

What a helper! We have him mopping the floors already and he's only 15 months old ;-) The perfect child for neat-freak parents.

"I love cheese!"

"Who, me? No, I didn't climb into the window."

Landon+Bucket=Funny!

Grandma got Landon a shovel and a bucket to play with outside this summer. He's still learning what the bucket is actually used for.

Landon Updates...

This photo is from Easter. It's Landon's first Peep. What a gooey, sticky mess that was!


Here's Landon with his Snoopy. He is just adorable with it. Snoopy "sings" the Alphabet Song when you press his belly. Landon will carry it around on his shoulder until the song ends. He'll then walk back to us so we can press its belly again and make it sing. Snoopy then goes back on his shoulder until the song ends. Process then repeats...

We're starting to let Landon feed himself with a spoon. He understands the process, but can't quite get much food on the spoon yet. He's getting better though. Soon he'll be an expert.

I bought Landon his own chair since he likes to climb all over ours so much. He LOVES it!!! He looks like such a big boy too when he sits in his armchair.

First birthday party

Here are a few photos from Landon's first birthday party. He had a great time and we are so thankful to everyone that was able to come. Enjoy the pics!

First Haircut

The last week has been filled with "firsts." A first birthday and now a first haircut (not to mention a first lollipop). In keeping with family tradition, we had to wait until Landon was one year old before his hair could be cut. Well, he's officially one now and the time had DEFINITELY come. Look how cute my baby is with his new style. What a big boy he is! He didn't cry at all during the cut and stayed almost perfectly still. I guess there is something to be said for lollipop bribery.

"What's this thing?"

"Tastes okay."

"Mmmm, I think I like this."

"I could get used to this!"

"No more pictures Mom!"

ONE YEAR OLD!!!

It's official: our "baby" is one year old! The photos below are from his party at daycare. Mommy made cupcakes and all the kids got to eat one. His family birthday party isn't until March 8, but that didn't mean there wasn't other partying to be done. After a half day in daycare, he had his one year checkup. Stats were:

Weight: 20 lbs, 2 oz (15% percentile)
Height: 29 (25% percentile)
Head: 18 1/2" (70% percentile)

After the doctor, we all went out to eat at Outback. Although steak isn't exactly in the cards yet, Landon certainly loved the bread and ate almost a loaf himself!
