Franks Birthday

Franks birthday was great. We had a weekend full of fun, and Landon enjoyed helping dad open his gifts!

Day care poster

At Landons day care the kids create a star student poster for thier birthday. We did Landons early because there were no birthdays before his in March. I was very proud and it turned out real cute.

Meeting Cousins

In January Landon got to meet my cousin Brandi. We had a fun dinner with all my cousins and Landon enjoyed playing with Brayden and meeting Brandi. It was an eventful meal!

Family Visit

 He loves an obstacle

We had some family visitors today. Landon got to play with his great grandmother and great grandfather, his grandfather and 2 cousins. He sure had fun climbing over things and people, eating lots of peas, puffs and such, and making a break for the stairs when we weren't looking. (thankfully he didn't fall down them!) His knees were all red when he went to bed from the extra crawling and climbing with his guest! What a fun day!

I don't think he has a good concept of how to play with this toy.

Snowy Day!

Sunday January 9th we had snow in Dallas. It started as we left church and continued until about 6 that evening. Landon had lots of fun playing in the snow. He played until his hands were cold and he begin to fuss. The snow lasted for about 5 days so we brought some in for him to play with each day. He love it!

Gifts, Gifts, and more Gifts

 I love my cousin Brayden

 Playing with Granny

 Fun Gifts!

Landon had alot of fun visiting family and being spoiled this Chirstmas. We started in Arlington and did Christmas with my family. We had a big Christmas eve dinner and gift exchange, I think Landons favorite part was chasing around Brayden, his cousin. Santa visited Christmas morning to spoil Landon some more! We left on the 26th and traveled to Houston to have Christmas with the Reeves where he was showered with more great stuff. It was a lot of fun.

Holiday fun at Frisco Fire Satation

 Don't Drive AWAY!

 Go Dasher and Dancer!

 Teach me how to be fire safe Mr. Safety Bear!

Tonight we went to the Frisco Fire Stations Safety Town. They have a whole set up for fire safety and holiday themed activity. Landon tried to write his first letter to Santa but was more interested in eating the crayon than drawing or writing. He got to take lots of pictures! Above you see one in the fire safety room with the fire bear and the Frisco Safety town Santa. He also tried to drive the fire truck and sat on the big sleigh. It was a great time. I am very glad we had the opportunity to go to this event and it had wonderful weather!

1st trip to the park

Today we went to the park to enjoy our lovely 85 Degree weather. Landon enjoyed the swing and slide. His first trip was a hit! I think mom and dad enjoyed it as much as him.

9 month check up

Today was the first day of my winter break and it was great to stay home with Landon! We hosted a playdate where Landons friends came over to play.
Then we had his 9 month appointment. He has allergies and is slightly anemic the dr. recommended Zyrtec and an iron supplement. He also has an appointment to get his closed tear duck opened in January.
Here are his measurements
Weight: 17lbs. 9oz., 25 percentile
Height: 28.5 in long, 75 percentile
Dad is hoping he has started on the road to being tall like him but only time will tell. He has 2 sounds Da and Ba and I noticed today P. We have noticed lately he saids BA alot when he is around Beau and other animals. It may be his first word. Landon has also started to try and take some steps while holding on to things (cruising). Today he tried to let go and walk (like the other kids at the playdate) but he fell pretty hard so it may be a while before he tries that again. I am sure going to enjoy spending the next 2 weeks with him and want it to last.

Can't wait for Christmas, I will post again real soon about the Holiday fun!

9 Months old

Landon is now 9 months old. It is crazy how fast it has gone. We had photos taken at JCpennys on this 9 month birthday and they turned out great! He is doing alot now and is super active and curious. We have tried all fruits, veggies, and meat baby food that we are going to try and soon we will be trying some soft solids. He hasn't had alot of interest in walking yet but that is probably because he can get around so well crawling. He is a pro now that he has had 3 months practice. He loves obstacles to crawl over and between. He loves crawling up small steps and in between peoples legs and he pulls up on everything (sturdy or not).
He loves reading books and banging on boxes and plastic containers. Its alot of fun to watch him play! Christmas is just a week away and the family is excited to see him get spoiled over the holiday season.
We have our 9 month apointment in a few days so stay in tune for an update. We are excited to see how big he is measuring.
