Landon 12 Months Old!!

It's hard to believe that Landon is one years old already. We just had his 12 month check-up at the dr.'s today and he did great. He got three shots(one was the flu shot which I didn't know he was getting). He did pretty well, cried when he got the shots and then I picked him up and he cried a little while longer and then he was done and crawling around the dr.'s office...what a trooper. He was 23lbs 12oz for weight(60%) and 32 3/4" for height(>>95%). He is such a little character. He is crawling all around the house and really fast, pulling up on things, walking around furniture and standing up on his own. He'll walk a little when he holds my hands, but not too interested in walking yet b/c he'll just plop down and crawl fast to get places. Not sure if I'm ready for his to walk yet since I think I'll be chasing him around a lot more!! He says a couple of words....dada, mama, ball, cracker, baba, does "so big", claps his hands, give people five. He is such a little ham and is a pretty content baby unless his sister takes his toy or bops him on the head(I would be mad too!!!). He absolutely loves to eat and is always eating before we sit down for a meal and the last one to be done...he loves fruit, lasagna, peas, carrots, corn...just about anything. He still has 2 bottle a day of formula, although the doctor said we can start him on whole milk now....yeah no more expensive formula. She said we can gradually get rid of the bottle too....think that will be harder for me than Landon since that's my time to cuddle with him. =) All-in-all he's a happy, healthy baby.

Happy First Birthday Landon!!

Happy First Birthday baby boy. You turned one years old on the 14th of August...can't believe that you're one already...wow has time flown by. We celebrated your birthday on Sat. the 15th with family and a couple of close friends. It was a realy warm day, so we set up the pools so you and your friends could enjoy some fun in the water. You were so funny when it was time to open your presents, you didn't seem to care about them. You were more interested in Auntie Kelly and your cousins than all the presenst, luckily your big sister helped mommy open them. You got so many cute "boy" presents..we were so excited for you. You loved your cake too. You even decided to put your face in it which was pretty funny. What a great birthday, Landon. You are growing up before our very eyes. We love your bright blue eyes, your smile, your cute giggle, your screams when you want something or when your sister takes a toy away, your love of food(esp. fruit!!), the way you shake your head when mommy says "no". You are such a joy. Happy First Birthday Landon!!! We love you.

Happy Anniversary

Jason and I celebrated our 8th Anniversary yesterday!!!! Happy Anniversary babe!! Jason had to work during the day, but when he came home we decided to head to Millenium Park for dinner and swimming with the kids. The Dresslers came with us and we ran into the Haartmans too!!! The kids had so much fun swimming and playing in the mud. I think Landon had a whole meal of sand. He kept putting fistfulls of sand in his mouth...seriously so gross...how is that good?!?! Kennidee loved the water and is turing into quite the little swimmer. What a great Anniversary. Can't believe it's been 8 years.....I can't wait to spend many more with the love of my life!!!
