This kid amazes me every single day. It's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that in 3 months, he will be 2 years old. I vividly remember Adalyn turning two. And Yes, his birthday is already planned out. (You know me)As each day passes, he learns more and catches on to so many things. Yet another reminder he is (slowly) growing out of his baby stage. He talks all day long. We can have full blown conversations with him. I mean, look at this kid! Doesn't he look like such a "boy" and not a "baby" anymore?
Speaking of not being a baby anymore, this little turd climbs out of his bed every single morning. He has been doing so for about a month now. Adam and I knew early on that he would do that eventually. (Adalyn never tried until she was 2 1/2- really, almost 3) He climbs out of his bed around 6:00-6:15 every morning. He use to say "Momma" over and over again until I went in and got him. I guess he didn't like waiting the 15 seconds it took for me to walk down the hall and get him. So he has taken it upon himself to get out and walk into our room. I'm obviously already up getting ready but Adam gets him and puts him in bed with him hoping he will fall back asleep. Most of the time he does. But sometimes he will get up and walk to me and grab my hand and say " Milk " and pull me into the kitchen. He has been a climber since he first figured out he could pull up on things. He would figure out how to maneuver his little body onto whatever he was touching. For example, I walked into the play room one day to find him standing on top of the bookshelf. It holds books and different colored cubes (or tubs). It has 9 sections (3 top, 3 middle, 3 bottom). He climbed 3 shelves and was standing on top by the time I caught him. All he did was shine his mischievous smile of his. The next day, he was standing on top of their little table and he took a huge canvas off the wall and was holding it out for me to see when I walked in and caught him yet again. We have referred to Landon as a Tornado. He is full speed all day long and is a ball of energy. Which most are at this age. But the only way I can describe him is he is all BOY.
Landon is also loving swimming. This past Sunday after Church we went over to my parents to swim and to eat a steak dinner. It was rainy once we got there so we all settled in for a 3 hour nap. (Yes!) Once we woke up, the sun was out and we were all ready to swim. Landon is very use to the water now. We put his floaties on and let him have it. I throw him in the pool just like I throw Adalyn in the pool. He goes straight under, arm floaties and all, and comes up laughing. After a while my mom asked if he wanted to get in the hot tub. (the temp is turned down for them) So he usually goes back and forth between the pool and hot tub.
Adalyn is the little fish of the family. She begs to go down and touch the bottom with her hands. I love that she has no fear of being in the water.
The girl has amazing balance as well. She loved "surfing"!
and one more because she's so cute :)
As you know, Landon is in to cows, tractors, combines, lawn mowers, airplanes and "diggers" as he calls them. I bet he has 20 different tractors, bobcats, gators, combines, etc around the house. We bought him some pajamas's at Carter's the other day. One set had airplanes and the others have dump trucks, diggers, etc. I ask him at night which pajamas he wants to wear. He will either say "Planes" all while making his "plane" noise, or he will say, "Diggggggerssss!" Have I mentioned I love all this "boy" stuff?
We will ask Landon how to call cows up. We videoed his response the other night after dinner. It's precious. He says, "Coo Cows! Coo Cows! Come on! Come on! Moooo!" I'm going to try to post it to Facebook soon.
He has yet to use the potty. But I definitely know he is no where near ready for me to even think about going down that avenue. He will tell me he needs to go though. He will say, "Potty!" and run to the bathroom. I'll take his diaper off and sit him down, (just in case) and he will sit for a few seconds and then say, "Off, Off". He watches Adalyn and gets so excited so he at least knows that's what your suppose to do.
At 21 months, he is in size 5 diaper, weighs 29 lbs, 24 month and 2T clothes, size 7 shoe, and still has the whitest hair I have ever seen. He has such pale skin and we have discovered mosquitoes love his sweet, little skin. Even when it's covered with bug spray. (He got his momma's skin for sure)He loves to say "No" and says it quite often. He can point at his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue, head, hair, belly, elbow, knee, leg, arm, hand, fingers, foot, and toes and say can them too as he is showing us. He also says, "Bomb bum" (bottom) and points to his bottom. It is so cute to hear him say it.
He and Adalyn both ask for a Popsicle every afternoon when we go outside to play. He loves riding in the gator with her and can hang on to the monkey bars so well. He loves looking for planes in the "kite" (sky) and when they are out of sight he says, "Where it go?" and he holds his hands up like he's asking a question. He calls every dog he sees Singer and at home, when he is finished eating, he will hold a piece of food in his hand, lean over the side and say, "Singer! Singer!" So he obviously feeds Singer his food while he is at my parents house.
Playing with his favorite toys...
And here he is "helping" Adam. Like Father like Son
Landon is such a sweet, loud, energetic little boy! He will be 2 before I know it.
