Guess What?


Landon is 15 months old. I can't hardly believe it.

 Here is what he has been up to:

  • He talks non stop. Mostly jibber jabber but we are starting to understand a few things. He says This, bite bite, eye, shoe, uh oh, boo, mama, dada, no, toy and a few more.


  • He knows where his eyes and nose are and we are working on our mouth and ears.


  • We are finally bottle free after a little struggle. (true story.We were trying to ditch the bottle and we were in the car going home one night and I gave him his sippy and he threw it in the floor and I said "Landon your a big boy you need to drink from your sippy" and plain as day he said I want my ba ba. I about died.) He gave it up about a week later with no problems.


  • He loves to snuggle when he is sleepy.


  • He is becoming a night owl. He used to go to sleep between 8-9 and now he likes to stay awake until about 10 or after and likes to sleep until about 8 in the morning. He got used to doing this while we were off for Christmas and he did not want to get up at 6 this morning when we had to leave for work. Who could blame him though.


  • He has 7 teeth and two more are coming in.


  • He will eat anything. Yesterday he ate some spinach dip.


  • He loves chicken nuggets and fish sticks but spaghetti is his favorite.


  • He loves any thing that make noise and when he hears it he starts dancing. It is so precious.


  • He loves to kiss you. If you pick him up and he wants back down he will give you a kiss so you will put him back down.


  • He has a super bad temper but is so cute when he gets mad.


  • He makes the face in the picture above all them time and it is so stinkin cute.


  •  He always thinks that you are chasing him.

He is getting to be so big. I don't even think I can call him a baby anymore. He is a toddler.

Christmas Day!

We are were so excited for Christmas morning. Landon woke up about 6:30 and we went straight to opening gifts.

In his super cute Christmas Jammies that was in his stocking.

Please look past me in the next few photos.






Playing with his work bench that Santa brought him.
Santa also brought him a new backpack because he is not a baby anymore and doesn't need a big diaper bag. Some movies and books, two outfits for the summer, and a Columbia jacket.

After opening presents we got ready and went to Dustin's cousins house for lunch. It was wonderful we also took some pictures.

Most of the guys.


My handsome man.


He carried around this picture of Lindsey the whole time.



My most favorite picture of my two boys.

Wordless Wednesday..Favorite Seat

We got to Dustins grandmothers on Wednesday so we were already at her house when everyone got there on Christmas eve night.


Landon, Zoey, Susie, Lil Patrick, Katie, and Corey

Landon, Lil Patrick, and Zoey


Thats mostly all of the pictures I have from that night. It's pretty crazy there. There are about 25-30 people. So its kind of hard to take pictures. Here is a video though and if you listen close you can hear Landon say "Cheese" it is so cute.


Original Video - More videos at TinyPic


The adults play dirty santa. There is a womens dirty santa and a mans dirty santa but you can play in both if you want. I just play in the womens and I got the gift that I had brought which was a Snuggie! I was so excited (I secretly wanted it the whole time). Dustin played in both. In the womens he got a manicure set and some make up and $10.00 and in the mans he got a fossil flask and $20.00. He did pretty good.
The kids all draw names and Lindsey had Landon's name and she got him a Julio Jones jersey to wear to the games next year. Landon had Caleb's name and he got him a Visa gift card.

Then Dustins grandmother and his aunts buy gifts for all the kids. Landon got so much. He got some new outfits, a sleeping bag, a inflatable couch, a book, some trucks, and a throw from Dustins grandmother. From his aunts he got a pushing toy and a cow that makes animal noises. Landon loved everything.

The Real Life Griswolds

Christmas Vacation is one of my favorite Christmas movies actually it one of my favorite movies in general. Well on last Wednesday night when we were on our way to Dustin's grandmothers we went to this house that out done the Griswolds by a mile. It was crazy. Dustin had told me about it before but this was the first year he had taken me to see it. I took a video of it to show you all.


Original Video - More videos at TinyPic

Yes, that is all at one house.You drive up there drive way and back down so that's why the video is a little shaky.Landon loved all the lights. He cried when we started to leave so I had to let him watch this video on my camera while we were going down the road.

We had a wonderful Christmas and I have lots of other Christmas things to share this week so get ready.

Love The Baby

Landon has started "loving" baby dolls and stuffed animals. It is so sweet. You can say "Landon love the baby and he will hold it on his sholder and pat it and kiss it. He also does this to me sometimes when I say give mommy love. He got a baby doll (yes he is a boy with a baby doll but boys can play with dolls too) last year for Christmas and has just started playing with it.


Landon loving his baby.

He is so sweet.
