Riding Bikes

Landon went for his first few bike rides this week. We hooked up his seat to the back of Matt's bike, strapped him in, put his helmet on and were off. He seems to really enjoy going for bike rides. Here are some pictures of him in his seat, and then a video to watch at the end. Enjoy!

More Visitors!

Matt's parents and sister came to visit us last weekend. They got here really late on Thursday night and stayed until Sunday afternoon. We had a great time and the weather was beautiful all weekend so we got to do a bunch of fun things.

Friday we went to the zoo! This is Landon getting ready to get in his stroller.

The next town over is where Duct Tape is made. So, on Friday night we headed to the duct tape festival. They had all kinds of good fair food and rides, and had many things made out of duct tape. I put the picture of the prom dress and tux as well as a guitar (all made of duct tape) for you to see. Here were all the different colors of duct tape they had.

Landon had a blast playing outside all weekend long. He played on the deck....

with his wagon.....

with his Power wheels....

and on his swing set.

Grandma gave him his first freeze pop, which he seemed to enjoy

Saturday night we headed to dinner at Crocker Park and Landon was in such a good mood during dinner. He would "cheese" every time the camera light would turn on to take his picture. There were a lot of good and funny pictures from dinner, but this is my favorite!

On Sunday, we played outside some more before they had to leave. Landon took a break to sit on the sidewalk and eat his gondola sandwich

15 Months Old

Landon turned 15 months old on Friday. The doctor said that he was doing great at his check up. He had to get his 15-month shots, which we hate, but he did really well. He weighs 26 pounds (75th percentile) and is 32 1/4 inches tall (just under 90th percentile). He has 12 teeth now and a couple more coming in. He tries to repeat everything we are saying and he says a few words. He does sign language for eat, more, thank you and read. Landon loves to watch Sesame Street, play outside, dance and sing. His two favorite songs right now are "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes." He is growing up so fast and turning into our little man, as you will see in the pictures.

Getting ready for his doctor appointment

This is Landon with the flowers when he was 6 months old....

This is him with the flowers, wearing the same shirt when he is 15 months old. Isn't it crazy how much he has changed in such a short period of time?

Playing on his train....no hands or feet!

A Visit from Grandma & Grandpa

My parents came out for a visit last Thursday afternoon and stayed until Monday afternoon. It was great to see them and Landon LOVED all the attention he got. We had fun hanging out for the long weekend with them. Landon misses his Grandma and Papa (as he calls my dad in an attempt to say Grandpa) and is looking forward to heading to the lake over the 4th! Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great, long weekend. The weather was beautiful and we just got to hang out and play all weekend. Here are some pictures of Landon and a couple videos of him from the weekend. We hope you all had a great weekend too. Happy Memorial Day!

We love this outfit (Getting ready to go to "Girls Night Happy Hour" with Mommy on Friday)

Yesterday after church, we decided to have a picnic lunch at the park and then head to the beach. We thought the water would be freezing so we didn't take our swimsuits. It actually wasn't bad and there were a lot of people swimming. Since it was a beautiful day, the beach was completely packed as you will see in the next couple of pictures. The first picture was what we saw when we looked to the left, and the next to the right....people everywhere!

Since the good guys won the Cardinals/Cubs series this weekend, Landon got to wear his Cardinal gear today! GO CARDS!

This is a video of Landon playing outside. He loves his bubble mower and his popper. Recently he has been pushing/pulling both of them at the same time!

Landon loves to eat corn, but we usually cut it off the cob for him. This video shows him eating corn on the cob by himself for the first time last night!

The Week of Landon

Here are some new pictures from this past week. Landon recently got one of his molar teeth , so he has 9 teeth now. His new favorite things include:

- Climbing on the couch all by himself

-Saying "Bye Bye" and "Da da" constantly

- Playing with his little cars and saying, "Vroom!"

- Hopping like a bunny

- Looking at pictures of his family

- Dancing

- Making an angry face

- Picking out books to read

- Playing basketball and baseball

- Playing with pillows

- Signing "Thank you"

Have a great weekend!

Saying, "Cheese!"

His new angry face...I missed the hardcore angry face, so this is just the end result. It is hilarious!

This is his face in the middle of eating a lime. He made this face every time, but kept eating the lime!
