he runs, he climbs, he laughs

In six weeks or less Landon will be two. There is so much of me that wants him to stay my little baby forever. Then I see how proud he gets when he does something a "big" kid would do and it makes it ok that he is growing up, but only a little bit.

A few months ago (probably my last blog post *sigh*) we went to park and Landon walked very slowly on the mulch with a lot of coaxing. Tonight, a whole new kid. He RAN to the playground and immediately started up the steps to the slide. It was amazing! I couldn't believe it was the same person.

This time he wanted nothing to do with swing. No sir! The swing is boring in comparison to running around and climbing on things. He is definitely ALL boy.

I love this little guy.

Side note - if you want a good hug you need to see this little guy. He holds on so tight he will take your breath away.

Here are some of my favorite photos -

family vacation and a few other things

Our vacation has FINALLY arrived! I am so excited to get the show on the road. A full week of fun with friends and family. What more could a girl ask for?

NOTHING!

I promise to update this blog with photos daily! I am going to do it this time.

Before we go I wanted to share a few Landon stories.

I am afraid that I don't visit this blog often enough. I know it is the same old song and dance but it does bother me that I am not keeping better track of his shenanigans in writing.

Story One:

This is more for records sake than telling all of you because most of you have witnessed this cuteness.

So Landon - you do this cute little move (have been for months) where you pull your arms into your chest, scrunch up your adorable little face, and tremble. It is CAAAUUTE! For the most part you will do it on command. My mission this weekend is to get it on VIDEO!

Story Two:

Landon is OBSESSED with Cailou! If the TV is on and Cailou is not - we have a problem. He will immediately grab the remote control and try to "fix" the television.

Story Three:

Landon now holds up his pointer finger anytime he needs to intergect into a conversation as to say "excuse me" or possibly "shut up" and when he says "no".

Story Four:

Landon is also obessed with planes and birds. Loves them!

Story Five:

Landon is the official dog walker for Savannah. We are not allowed to hold the leash anymore. So independent.

Story Six:

Words and phrases are flowing like a faucet! I am amazed everyday at what he is putting together. I will write a separate post with all of his sayings. Promise!

The last few were tidbits really and I probably have a lot more because let's be honest my kid is amazing! I however have a trillion things to do before we go on vacation.

I love you all and you will hear from soon, possibly even tomorrow!

landon's clubhouse: no dogs allowed!

landon has been hiding out in savannah's cage for awhile now. i am surprised i haven't posted it before (or have i)? lately however he has been taking it to another level.

before it was pretty casual. you know, just climbing in and out because it was new. now we are having a party! he has now been bringing his juice and snacks into the cage with him.

he grabs his snacks, tells us bye, and sits in there for a good ten minutes or so watching tv and talking to his friends???

it irritates savannah to no end but i think it is adorable.

mother's day

i really hope everyone had a great mother's day.

my day consisted of sleeping in, manning the dvr for three hours, folding a little bit of laundry, taking a nap, not touching a single dirty diaper, and getting the best of this little guy all day!

it was perfect!

thank you adam and landon for making me feel so special and loved everyday!
