Surfin The Net

Every time I sit down to work at the computer Landon has a fit to do some work too. So, when my mom and I saw this Handy Manny laptop we knew he would love it, and he does. Now whenever I need to get a little work done or just take some time to surf the net, Landon enjoys working on his laptop too. Landon makes just about everything we do so much more fun.

Christmas Toys

Although Landon didn't really get into opening his gifts, once they were open and ready to play with, he loved them. It is sooo funny that his favorites were some of the cheapest gifts. He loved his little blow up car. There really wasn't anything to it, but he thought it was great.

Landon loves recliners, so I thought I would get him one of his own. He sat in it maybe 30 seconds, and then went back to his old Backyardigans couch. Oh well, I'm sure he will start to use it more often.

Nana and Papaw also got Landon a super cute chair. It is going to look so good in his play room (when we finally get it finished).

One of Landon's favorite gifts was also one of his neatest. I got it at Kmart, and it was so cool. It was was a backpack that had a tent, sleeping bag, water bottle, flash light, a construction worker vest, and two construction cones. I couldn't believe that it all fit in that one little backpack. Landon loves wearing his vest and "camping" in his tent. He definitely had a Merry Christmas!!!!

Funny Face

I love my little Funny Face. Landon is such a blast right now. He is really developing a personality all his own. He cracks me up, and blesses my heart every day. I never know what he is going to be into or what my day will hold because he is so creative. He loves to tease, play, pretend, wrestle, giggle, and just have fun.

Big Shoes To Fill

Landon hates to wear his own shoes, but for some unknown reason he loves to wear other people's shoes, especially his daddy's. Right now Paul has some big shoes to fill for little Landon, but as much as it kills me to say this, I'm sure it will feel like no time that Landon will actually be wearing shoes this big (probably bigger). But for now, I am just going to savor these sweet times and love every little funny moment that Landon gives us.

Side Note: (By the way, doesn't his hair look soooo much better!)

Wild Hair Days

Check out little man's hair. How wild is that?! Needless to say, I no longer think that I will be able to let his hair grow out. Poor thing, I can't believe I did that to him. This will definitely be one of those times when Landon is older and looks back at these pictures, that he will think "What was my mom thinking letting me go around looking like that?" I'm sorry baby, but I just couldn't resist these wild hair pictures. Can I say, "Helmet Head". From now on it will be short hair for my man Landon.

Little Squirt

As most of you know Landon took after his momma and has curly hair. So, in order to fix his hair we have to wet it down and gel it. So, we have to keep a spray bottle just for him. He loves when we spray his hair and he feels the little water mist. He will just smile and reach out trying to catch the water vapor. Now, he has finally learned to pull the trigger and squirt himself. He had his clothes soaking wet from doing this, so I stripped him down to his diaper and just let him go at it. He had a blast. Check out my little squirt.

Happy Halloween

Landon got a little "batty" this Halloween, and we all had a good time. Last year we took Landon out, but it was mostly just to show him off, I mean he was only 3 months old. This year we still wanted to let him get out and visit, but we didn't expect him to really know what was going on. Even though he didn't understand everything that was going on, it was still amazing to see him having such a good time. It is unreal the difference a year makes.
Landon wasn't too happy about his costume at first, but once he realized that everyone wanted to see him dressed up, he couldn't get enough of it. He loved all the attention he got from everyone (Nana, Mammy, Sissy, Debbie, Brian,Valerie, Mickey and of course Momma and Daddy), and his costume made us all a little "batty". We were all flapping our arms up and down trying to get Landon to do the same. He finally caught on and started having a really good time.

I never knew that bats could be so cute, sweet, and lovable.

Puppy Love

For about 2 weeks now, Landon has been dragging my hair dryer around like it is a dog on a leash, so Paul recently bought Landon a little toy puppy, and Landon loves it. Maybe one day we can get Landon a real puppy, but not any time soon.

My Buddy

Landon is really not much of a cuddler unless he is sleepy or sick. He would much rather be on the move. The toys that he enjoys the most involves some kind of action, and most stuffed animals are for wrestling purposes only. But not George. George is Landon's buddy, and Landon takes him everywhere. It is so sweet to see him dragging Curious George around the house. Here are a few pics of Landon hanging out with George.

The Look of a Guilty Child

Well, it didn't take long for Landon to bounce back from the flu. It is like he is making up for lost time. He is into everything, no really, I mean everything. He wants to play with stuff he knows that he shouldn't, he wants to hide from me all the time (thank goodness he hasn't realized that he is "hiding" in plain sight, so it's not too bad; yet), and he is fascinated with climbing on anything and everything. We even had to take our ottoman out of the living room because he was climbing on top of it, and then trying to bounce off. I believe I could be raising a stunt man. Some of Landon's favorite things to do that he shouldn't do are... playing with the phone and the answering machine (and believe me there is not spot too tight for him to squeeze into once he has his mind set to do something).

He also loves to play in the fig tree in our living room. He picks the grass out, throws it on the floor, and then he tries to drag the tree behind him by pulling on the electrical cord attached to the tree.

Like I said earlier, he loves to hide. This is him hiding in the hallway by the garage door. It was REALLY hard for me to find him. Bless his heart.

Here Landon was caught playing with another tree, and decided he would try to hide from me in the tree after I caught him. He may one day be a dare devil, but I don't think a secret agent or spy is going to be a part of his future.

And here we have Landon showing off his love of climbing. He doesn't care that he doesn't fit on the shelf, he is just thrilled that he could climb it.

Although I definitely have my hands full, and I am starting to believe that Landon thinks his name is "No-No", I can't get to upset about his antics because it is just all so funny. It is hard to discipline when you are laughing the whole time. I have my work cut out for me.

Tank Tu

Paul, Landon, and I would like say Thank you or as Landon would say "Tank Tu" for all the prayers. Landon is finally feeling better. He has gone 24 hours without a temperature, and is finally getting his appetite back. He was definitely a sick little boy. His temp got as high as 104.6, and he didn't want to play at all, he only wanted to lay around. Even though Landon was sick, he still managed to keep his manners. Every drink I gave him, he would look at me and say "tank tu". What a sweet little boy! I am so glad he is feeling better. Oh yeah, Landon would like to say to Aunt Geri "Tank Tu" for teaching me how to say "Thank You".

Prayer Request

My little man was up all night running a temperature of 104, and Paul took him to see the doctor this morning. Landon has a confirmed case of the flu, and although we don't know for sure right now, the doctor felt sure that it was the H1N1. Landon is on Tamaflu now, and we are keeping an eye on his temperature and pushing fluids. I know that he will be back to his old self in no time, but please just say a quick prayer for him that he starts to feel better soon! I just hate seeing my little guy feeling so bad.

Nana's Chair

Landon is fascinated by recliners. He loves to sit in them, raise them up and down, rock in them, and rock other people in them.

He also loves to run around with out his diaper on and to play with the remote control. Landon should be extra happy here because he is in Nana's recliner with a naked butt (it is hard to tell, but if you look closely, yes he does have a naked butt), and his remote control.

Can I say "a true man", I mean, a recliner, naked butt, and a remote, what more could any man ask for? I never knew that boys came out this way, I always thought it was a learned behavior, but wow was I wrong!!

You've Got Mail

This past weekend Landon received his first ever package in the mail.

The unexpected gift came from his Grammy Angie. She sent him the cutest little book, "The Pumpkin Patch Parable".

It compares how a farmer plants the pumpkin seeds and helps them grow, just like God plants his seed of love in us and helps us grow. For every page in the book, it also has scripture to go along with that page. It is such a sweet book, and I know Landon will continue to cherish it for years to come. Thank you Grammy Angie.

Cruisin' With My Friends

For Labor Day weekend, we decided to take Landon to the annual Central City Cruise In. We wasn't sure if Landon would be up for it since he never wants to ride in his stroller now that he is walking. But, to our amazement he did great. He rode in his stroller without fussing, he ate a hot dog, corn dog, and some funnel cake, but his favorite part was cruising with his friends. We ran into Eric, Kim, Whitley, and Alec, and they had the cutest stroller. Eric made the stroller himself, and Landon loved it. I know, I couldn't believe it, a stroller that Landon loved. But once I saw it, I could see why. It was adorable, and Landon thought that he was "driving" all over the place.

Landon also had a good time hanging out with all his other friends and family too.
