Expanding My Blog

I have decided to add two more blogs that you can access from this blog. Since this blog is dedicated to Landon (and any other children we might have in the future), I wanted to have a blog that has more to do with what we do as a family and with our friends, so I have started Newman News.

I don't know about you, but my day is FULL of so many moments that I want to remember and write about, but I don't always have a camera with me. Or the moment isn't something that you can really take a picture of so, I have decided to set up a blog of just those precious moments that I never want to forget, and that is what my blog Memoirs is for.

These blogs are just in the beginning stages, so be patient with me. I hope you enjoy them all. Thanks for reading.

Little Poser

Here lately Landon is LOVING the camera. Like I said in the previous post, he will bring the camera to me or Paul and then say, "Cheese". It is so funny. The other day Paul saw that Landon was just sitting still watching television, and being so good. So Paul got the camera down and asked Landon to say, "Cheese". Well, that was that needed to be said, Landon started hamming it up for the camera. He loved it, and was just posing away. I just hope he is this cooperative next time we take "real" pictures.

Isn't he just adorable?! I love that boy.

Say Cheese and More of Landon's Antics

Landon has become fascinated with EVERYTHING: the TV, the microwave, light switches, clocks, the dishwasher, doors and locks, cameras, phones, etc. If it has buttons, knobs, doors, switches, anything that he can push, pull, twist, turn, take apart and put back together, Landon wants to check it out. He has recently started bringing my camera to me, and then he will say, "Cheese" and flash me a real cheesy (but sweet) grin.

Like I said earlier Landon has also become fascinated with doors and locks. He can now open all the doors in the house, which can be VERY scary and dangerous since his bedroom is upstairs. I didn't know he could do this until a few nights ago. I had taken him upstairs to get him ready for bed. I set him down on the floor to play with some of his toys while I got his medicine ready. I literally set him down, turned around, picked up the medicine bottle, and turned back around when I noticed the door was open, and Landon was gone. My heart sank, and I just kept picturing him tumbling down the stairs. I ran out and there he was half way down the stairs grinning from ear to ear. Needless to say, we have now baby proofed the door knobs up stairs, and a baby gate will be put up ASAP. One is already at the bottom of the stairs. (Have I mentioned that my house looks like a huge maze because of all the baby gates?!)

Another episode that we had with doors happened the very next day. Landon and I were working on some laundry, and we were going back and forth from my bedroom to the laundry room. On our last trip there, Landon ran ahead of me and shut and locked the door. He was locked in the bedroom and I was locked out. I couldn't get in, so I ran outside and started talking to him through the window. He was just standing there with his face scrunched up to the glass, laughing, and saying, "Hi, Momma". I tried to break in through the window, but it wouldn't budge. I was finally able to use a paper clip to get back in.

I'm telling ya, he is into everything. He is sooo funny, but he definitely keeps me on my toes and keeps me laughing. Can't you tell just by looking at this picture?! A little mischievous looking?

Exhausted

Landon loves to go the babysitter now. He used to cry when I left him there, but now he cries when he has to come home. I think it is because he plays nonstop while he is there. As you can see he plays so hard that the minute he comes in the door he is out like a light.

What a sweet, sweet, little boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As soon as we walked in the door Landon laid down and fell immediately to sleep. He truly was all played out.
