9 months old!

Yep, the boy is 9 months old. Wow. He now crawls like a maniac, stands up on furniture, sits up on his own, plays with the fan that hangs on his bed, eats pancakes, cheerios, rice, cooked veggies, and dirt on occasion, says "da da" very clearly, can make the sign for milk and we love him more and more every day!

Funny Face

No, I'm not talking about Barbara Streisand...Lando is all into this new face. Whenever he is eating, especially. He squishes up his nose and closes his eyes and shows his teeth and then makes a blowing noise through his nose. It cracks me up every time and this morning, during breakfast, I finally got it on camera. Enjoy!

Happy Easter Grandparents!

Well, the little boy has finally done it. This morning while trying to reach, of all things, a soccer ball...he began crawling. Enjoy the video. I can't believe it finally happened. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE! (And on a side note, congratulations are in order for my "little" sister, Ashley. Finally, after almost 6 years of dating her and Tommy got engaged last night).

Growing up before our eyes...

I swear it was just yesterday Lando was born and then I took these pics of him today and somehow he just seems like he grew up overnight. Can we slow down time a little???


In the outfit Hama Rita sent him...(this was actually taken yesterday)


All grown up :(


Look at that precious little face!!!


Crawling toward the soccer ball.


Family Easter Picture!!!

Fun Pics

I just thought these were fun, so had to post them.


Mike has been sick for the past week and thought maybe sitting in the tub would be good for him and Landon LOVES water so we made a mini pool day out of it. Well, 20 minutes anyway. Aren't they cute in their matching swim trunks?


Lando has discovered a new way to sleep. We were cracking up this first night that we went in to check on him before bed and he was laying comfortably this way.


Then today, I went in and checked on him and he was sleeping the same way. How funny is that little boy? All that space and he crams himself into the smallest corner.

Landon Happenings

These are just a couple random things Landon's been up to these days. Nothing special, just fun to watch him grow.

8 months old!

I know I say this every month, but I really can't believe Lando is 8 months old. That just seems ridiculous. It seems like everyday he is doing something new and showing us a little more of his personality. When he was born we thought he was the most like Mike in personality and for the most part he is. Landon is very calm and relaxed and super chill but more and more every day he is showing some points of possibly having my personality. Outgoing, wanting to be around people all the time, loving to play with toys and other kids...He's seriously just so much fun. Below is a list of a few new things.

-He has a 17" head (90th percentile), 26 3/4" long (25th percentile, I don't think he'll be a basketball player), and he's approx. 19 or 20 lbs (we don't have a scale but that's what his doctor predicts he is)

-He can stand up on his own and demonstrated this one night when Mike was giving him a bath and all of sudden Landon grabbed the edge of the tub and stood up

-He is SO close to crawling. Literally any day now. He gets to a crawling position from the sitting position and he kind of rocks back and forth. Just doesn't quite get that he has to be the one to move his legs

-He loves music and has discovered how to "bounce with the beat" (we may have a musical genius on our hands!)

-He has discovered clapping and thinks its the best thing since sliced bread

-He now has 6 teeth, the 4 on top all came in at once so that week wasn't very fun, but now they are in and no more tears

-He hasn't yet, but his pediatrician has given him the go ahead to eat "squishy" foods (i.e. bananas, veggies, etc.)

-He fully understands the sign language for "milk" and "eat" and is not afraid to show you that he wants it

-He LOVES baby einstein or any videos that are specifically for babies

-He likes to hear himself talk and just in the past couple days will sit and talk as loud as he can for several minutes straight

SOOOOOO cute

Lando is doing some new things. See below.

He is more and more interested in wanting to hold his own bottle

Finally Caught on Tape

7 months old!

That's right...our boy is 7 months old today! We keep looking at him and thinking he's been with us forever and it's only been a short seven months. He is more of a joy everyday and the more he interacts with us, the more we know that God hand-picked this baby for us. He is doing so many new things every day that it's hard to keep track of. But I'll try and list as many as I can think of.

-He is 26.5 inches long and about 18.5 pounds

-He sits up completely on his own and rarely falls...unless he wants to

-He rolls over front-to-back and back-to-front

-He finally has hair growing into his bald spot on the back of his head

-He eats 4 kinds of fruits and 4 kinds of vegetables (bananas and sweet potatoes are his favs)

-He reaches for people with both arms when he wants them

-He still prefers to be naked over wearing any clothes at all

-He hasn't mastered a sippy cup but loves to drink out of mami and papi's glasses

-He loves to play peek a boo

-He LOVES baby einstein movies and is totally enthralled when other babies come on

-He's beginning to wave if you wave bye bye to him, its more of a hand convulsion

-He steals a drink of coke every now and then and absolutely loves it (I know, I'm an awful mother)

-He has about 6 teeth bumps on his top gums that look like they should come in any time, but who knows

-He sleeps between 10-12 hours a night....straight through (Praise JESUS!) but takes very little naps

-He's beginning to go from the sitting position to on all fours...watch out, crawling is coming soon, UGH!

-His favorite thing in the whole wide world is staring at himself in a mirror
