OnE tOuGh mOnTh...

This month has been a definite cHaLLeNgE!! LaNdOn has become quite the LiTtLe cLiMbEr and has been getting in his EyE-TeEtH :( We have never really had a problem with any of these things, but they have sure kept our HoMe cRaZy!! 

LaNdOn has decided that cLiMbInG on everything is his new FaVoRiTe thing to do. It it is on top of the DiNnInG rOoM tAbLe, KiTcHeN CoUnTeRs, LiViNg rOoM tAbLeS, BeDs, ChAiRs, and the FrIdGe. He thinks that he needs to be on top of everything he can cLiMb. We have had to pay a little bit closer attention to him so that he doesn't fall on his HeAd again like last month :(

3 New TeEtH!! LaNdOn'S EyE-tEeTh has decided to come in all at the same time and has given us one sad, sick little BoY!! He spent about 4 or 5 days on the CoUcH watching MoViEs/CaRtOoNs and trying to keep a FeVeR under control (which was literally out of control). Every time we thought we were making progress it would come back even worse. Trying to keep him cOoL was quite a cHaLLeNgE too because he didn't like the "CoLd" on his head. We definitely had a few NiGhTs of little sleep but those 3 teeth have finally come in for the most part. Although it is getting CuTeR and cUtEr to see him with a MoUtH FuLL of TeEtH, I sure miss that cUtE little GaP that he had in this top FrOnT tEeTh :( It was sooo CuTe and just like that it is gOnE :( But he 'cHeEsY' little sMiLe still just makes me LaUgH and sMiLe :)

While being sick we decided to break out the pLaY-DoUgH and make things...LaNdOn'S favorite thing to make was CiRcLeS. He loved RoLLiNg them around and putting them in all the different CoLoReD containers. It was always short LiVeD but at least we can say we did it!

This month was also LaNdOn'S cOusIn's FiRsT bIrThDaY!! They had a bLaSt at her party and by the end LaNdOn was definitely exhausted :)

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY BROOKLYN!

                  

 

                   

Brooklyn's Birthday!

EaStEr...

HaPpY EaStEr!! I have always LoVeD EaStEr due to all the DeLiCiOuS cAnDy...especially the MiNi CaDbUrY EgGs and ReEsEs EgGs :) Not a good month to diet for me that is for sure!! We can't keep them around our HoMe very long, especially since LaNdOn and WeS both LoVe the ReEsEs EgGs too :) I'm always sad when all the GoOd CaNdY goes away!

This year for EaStEr we were HoMe for the most part...it has been along month...but more on that later. EaStEr was fun this year because LaNdOn kind of got the concept, or at least I though he did :/ The EaStEr BuNnY came to our HoMe and brought LaNdOn a LiGhTeNiNg McQuEeN EaStEr BaSkEt, sHiRtS, EgGs filled with CaNdY, a CaR, and a LeGo FaRm with FaRm aNiMaLs :) He was so ExCiTeD about the aNiMaLs and the TrAcToR!!

We then decided to color EaStEr EgGs with LaNdOn...ePiC DiSaStEr!! Remind me to never color EgGs with a 1 year old ever again!! I found a cool idea on pinterest to put the EgG in a wire whisk so they could use that instead of getting their HaNdS all CoLoReD...well it worked for a little bit and LaNdOn just wanted to DiP the EgG then SuCk off all the CoLoRiNg. When I tried to help him he got a little MaD and hit the bowl of coloring with his whisk and sPiLLeD it everywhere!!! Guess I learned my lesson the hard way...

We then went EaStEr EgG HuNtInG with my DaD's side of the FaMiLy! We ate a delicious meal then did the HuNt. I was trying to show LaNdOn to pick up the CaNdY and put it in his BuCkEt. It took a while to get the concept down, but after we did he did it for a solid 2 minutes then was completely done!! No more HuNtInG for him...PERIOD!! He was more interested in playing the in SaNdBoX and going down the sLiDe. At least we got 2 minutes of fun videos/pictures to say we did it!

This month we definitely had a rough few weeks! LaNdOn got sick with cRoUp, a really bad EaR InFeCtIoN, was ThRoWiNg Up, and got CoNsTiPaTeD pretty bad :( We ended up in the E.R and then back to the PeDiAtRiCiAnS 2 days later to get the CoNsTiPaTiOn fixed. We though we were all set and on the mend...until he fell face first onto the CoNcReTe and gave himself a little CoNcUsSiOn, bLoOdY nOsE, FaT LiP, and a GiAnT GoOsE-EgG!! We just couldn't win for loosing that whole week :/

We did do some FuN things though when he was sick to hopefully make him feel a little better! We got him a BuBbLe MaChInE that bLoWs BuBbLeS constantly (which he LoVeS), made a FoRt for his CaRs out of our CoUcH cUsHiOnS, and made OaTmEaL cHoCoLaTe cHiP cOoKiEs! 

Even though this month was a little rough, we did have fun doing a lot of other things too :)

LoVe DaY...

HaPpY VaLenTiNe'S DaY!! How AwEsOmE is it that we get to CeLeBrAtE a whole month of LoVe!! February is always a LoVe/HaTe ReLaTiOnShIp for soooo many people, but I've always really liked CeLeBraTiNg LoVe :)

This year was a lot about what LaNdOn wanted to do...we made a few trips to the store to get everything (mostly for him, WeS, and dinner) and had a bLaSt! There were sooo many people at the stores that LaNdOn was just WaTchInG them ever so close (such a people watcher his boy is)! It was kind of funny to watch so many people scrambling to get stuff at the last second. I listed off a variety of things we could do to LaNdOn, but the only one he said "Ya" to was Pizza. So we went to go and get a HeArT ShApEd PiZzA for dinner! He was so ExCiTeD to eat it, that every time I opened the fridge he wanted to me get it out for him!! For LoVe DaY we got LaNdOn a CaR that you ShAkE and then it drives! He was completely satisfied with that!! I also picked up some 'BuBbLy' for WeS and I and finished WeS's gift!! We went and dropped off WeS's present to him at work. We had so much fun eating PiZzA and LaUgHiNg at LaNdOn saying "yUm" every single time he took a BiTe. He really wasn't kidding about wanting PiZzA :)

LaNdOn has been super BuSy this month!! He has been able to go and play with BroOkLyN (his cousin) a few times this month and has had sooo much FuN! He has also got to go with his DaD and pLaY bAsKeTbaLL, just like the BiG people do! WeS even went and got him his own "smaller BaLL" so he has his own he could carry around when they went and pLaYeD! 

Our little BoOk WoRm is constantly reading bOoKs!! He has now figured out how to climb up in his chair and then will read the BoOkS to himself. He will do it for a good 30 minutes before he decides he has read enough. Hopefully he is this easy when he gets older :)

LaNdOn has also discovered my 'HiGh-HeeLs'! He is always going into our room to grab them and put them on. The best part is watching him try and WaLk in them!! WeS doesn't think that it is too funny and tells me I need to move them so he can't get into them, but I think it is so FuNnY that he LoVe WeArInG them sooo much :)

Since the weather has been pretty cold lately we have been trying to find other things to do beside be at our HoMe all the time. We have been going to the MaLL pLaY area a little bit more lately. LaNdOn has so much fun climbing up and over things, through things, and under things! He is getting to be quite the little climber and LoVeS going down the 'WaTeRfaLL sLiDe'! By the time we get back home he is ExHaUsTeD and ready for a nAp.

                        

                       

                             

 

SnOw, sNoW, SnoW!

This month we got so much SnOw!! I'm not the biggest fan of it, but we need the moisture to FaRm this coming year. I didn't let LaNdOn play in the sNoW a ton cause I didn't want him to get sick, but we made it out on the days it was little nicer OuTsIdE :) We bought him some SnOw-BoOtS, gLoVeS, and a winter CoAt and he was set. He LoVeD walking around outside and through the sNoW! He just kept looking at all the wHiTe sTuFf in amazement :) Once I showed him it was FuN to EaT he LoVeD it even more!! They had the sNoW piled up pretty high around our HoMe and LaNdOn thought it was so much fun to try and climb up it, until he fell through and then he didn't like it anymore!!

Since ChRiStMaS, LaNdOn hasn't stopped playing with his CaRs GeO tRaX! It is constantly running in our HoMe all day long. He has figured out how to control the CaR and gets a little FrUsTrAtEd with them when they don't do what he wants them to do. We have had to have a few TaLkS about being PaTiEnT!!

We finally broke down and got LaNdOn and HiGh-ChAiR! He has absolutely LoVeD his BuMbO so much that I didn't really realize he needed a new HiGh-ChAiR until he was getting to be a little too BiG for it! After I got it all set up he couldn't wait to get inside :) He thinks he is such a BiG bOy now and LoVeS to sit at the tAbLe with us for LuNcH and DiNnEr!! He has been quite the ChArAcTeR in it and just makes us LaUgH!

For some reason LaNdOn has decided that he is a 'GaNgStEr' now and has to wear his PaJaMaS like they do. He is constantly pulling down his PaNtS under his BuM and walking around the house!! We finally caught him watching CaRtOoNs like this and got some pretty funny pictures! I sure don't know where he learned it (from WeS I'm sure), but it is sure funny :)

We sure LoVe this CrAzY bOy!!

Mad cause the CaR stopped...

You want a Piece of ME?!?
