Grandma Visits and Easter

A week before Easter we decided to color some Easter eggs. Landon was too little to really help out last year, but he loved it this year. His hands were very messy when we were done, but he had a good time!

Just getting started...he liked to put the colored tablets in the bowl and watch them dissolve

Starting the process...

All done...putting them in the basket

The final product

Landon decided one day to change Count's diaper after he got his diaper changed

Grandma Bruce came to visit for a few days over her spring break. We missed Papa, but Landon had a blast playing with Mama! Here they are playing with play doh.

Grandma was also here for my birthday, so we made a cake!

Landon let me borrow his Sesame candle and he is helping me blow it out

Me, Landon and Mom before we took her to the airport Saturday morning....thanks for coming to visit us!!

Saturday afternoon (before Easter) we took Landon to an Easter Egg Hunt at Crocker Park. Here he is, waiting patiently to go!

Since it was raining outside, the Easter bunny hid all the eggs inside. This is Landon finding the eggs

All done!

This is the first year that we have not gone to Illinois for Easter. We just hung out at home as a family and cooked a big meal. This is Landon helping Daddy peel the potatoes!

Sesame Street Live

A few weeks ago we took Landon to see Sesame Street Live. He absolutely loved it! During the first act, he stayed on one of our laps. We had 3rd row seats so we were VERY close to the characters. But, by the second act, Landon was dancing in the aisle and he even gave Zoe a high five! This show got him even more excited to go back to Sesame Place this summer. We can't wait!! As you will see in the pictures, Count went with Landon to the show and always goes with him EVERYWHERE!!

The last couple of weeks

We have been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. We have had a few nice days that we have tried to take advantage of, but not many. It is usually around 50 here still and really windy. We are hoping the weather that the rest of you have been enjoying pretty regularly moves our way soon!

Landon is growing up so quickly. He talks ALL the time and absolutely loves to sing songs. He sings non-stop when we are in the car (or whenever there is music on) and it is so cute! He is supposed to be taking a nap right now, but instead he is playing/singing in his crib. I just went to listen at the door and he was singing "Happy Birthday" to Count! When he got done with the song he said, "Okay Count, your party's ready!" So funny! He also has been potty on the big boy potty twice in the past couple of days. The plan is to start the potty training when I am done with school, at the beginning of the summer. But, we figured it isn't a bad idea to get him interested and ready right now. I think he really is just interested in his Sesame potty seat that he has, but whatever works I guess! Have a great week and enjoy the new pictures!

Wearing his Illinois hat....he has loved this lately and worn it a lot. He looks so cute in his hat, but so grown up!

Showing us all his friends and his work bench

Last Sunday it was really nice out (but really windy) and Landon decided to help Daddy wash the cars

So cute

What a good little helper

Sunday night Landon had a slight fever and he still had one Monday afternoon., as well as a cough and runny nose. He had bronchitis about a month ago, so I took him to the doctor just to make sure everything was okay. It turned out that he had bronchitis again. He got medicine, but his fever spiked to 103 that night. Landon is constantly on the go and this is how he spent 2 hours on Tuesday night. Poor little guy.

Thursday his cough was worse and he had a fever again. Since he was on medicine, I didn't think that should happen so we went back to the doctor on Friday. We found out that the medicine didn't work and he also developed an ear infection in two days. Now we are on different medicine so hopefully it takes care of it. This is Landon watching tv on the couch Thursday afternoon. He has slept great the whole time and with the exception of Tuesday night, we can't even tell that he is sick. He is a little trooper!

So excited and proud after going potty on the big boy potty!

New pictures and updates

It has been awhile since we updated the blog, so we thought we would give you some new pictures of Landon. He is getting to be such a big boy. He is talking all the time and LOVES Sesame, Handy Manny and his tools, singing songs, taking baths, jumping on his trampoline and playing with the itouch or our iphones. He also loves to play outside so we are hoping we get some nice weather soon. We are definitely tired of the cold around here. Last Friday we went to Chuck E Cheese for the very first time. Landon had a blast. He ate lots of pizza and had so much fun on all of the rides. He especially liked putting the tokens in the rides. He is looking forward to going back again. Hopefully all of you are doing well too. Enjoy the pics!
