Birthday Weekend

Friday was Landon's 2nd Birthday and we got 6 inches of snow! We went to the doctor in the morning (90% height 75% weight) and finished getting ready for his party in the afternoon. Landon was so excited this week while watching us make his cake and cupcakes. Grandparents, Uncle Jeremy, and cousin Ade all arrived late Friday afternoon, and Landon had a great time playing Friday night. Saturday was finally party day! Everything went very well. We had a great turn out and Landon had lots of fun playing with friends, opening his presents, and of course eating his Count cupcake.

Birthday Week

Today starts the homestretch for getting everything ready for Landon's Party next Saturday. Last night we took him to get his 2-Year pictures. He did great! Aunt Cara is getting here today to watch Landon this week while she is on Spring Break. We will be very busy baking, and getting the house ready. We will post pictues and videos from the party next weekend.

Pictures from last night

Have a great week!

First Haircut

Today after work we took Landon to get his first haircut. He did great! It's a little shorter on the sides than we had intended, but it will grow back. He's getting so big.

Valentine's Day and More!

We have been busy around here and haven't updated the blog in awhile. We enjoyed some warmer weather this week and the snow is finally all gone, hopefully for good! We were able to play outside and go for some walks this week and it was great. We are ready for spring. Landon is talking more and more every day. His new favorite phrase is "No thank you" and it is adorable! We are getting ready for Landon's birthday party in a few weeks and can't believe that he will already be two! Here are some new pictures for you to enjoy. Have a great weekend!

Just a cute outfit

Playing at his desk which he got at Christmas and absolutely loves. He colors and plays every day!

He looks like such a little man in this picture, definitely not our little baby anymore :(

Playing with his favorite things, his Handy Manny tools

Rocking in his little chair

Eating a banana, his favorite snack lately

Last weekend Matt's mom came to visit. She got here on Friday afternoon and left on Sunday morning. Landon had a great time playing with his grandma! On Saturday, we went to the indoor mall to let Landon ride on the train. This train goes all over the mall. It has a driver and everything. Landon loved it!

Landon picked the blue car to ride in

Since Matt's mom was here, she watched Landon on Saturday night and Matt and I were able to go to dinner and a movie! This is us before we left.

Landon opening his Elmo card on Valentine's Day

And opening one of his presents, which is a big "Stretch" Handy Manny tool that talks. He loves it and was so excited!

Aunt Cara sent Landon a Sesame "hopper" for Valentine's Day. He is still a little small for it, but he loves it as you can see!

Favorite Things

Landon and I are home playing today because it is a snow day! So much fun! We hope all of you are enjoying a snow day too! Here are a few of Landon's favorite things recently:

- Still anything Sesame Street, especially videos

- Playing with his Handy Manny tools

- Playing "Just Dance" on the Wii, especially dancing to "Wheels on the Bus"

- Coloring at his new art desk

-Dancing and Singing

- Counting from one to ten

- Telling us the colors of everything around him (He does this by telling us what Sesame character the color is first, and then he says the actual color!)

- Recognizing shapes and being able to pick them out or match them up

- Singing his ABC's

- Jumping and hopping

- Taking baths

- Reading books

- Doing puzzles

As you can probably tell, he is always on the go and constantly busy doing something, but he is so much fun. It amazes me how fast he is growing up (he will be 2 next month) and how much he knows and remembers. He is such a sweet little boy and we are so blessed to have him! Enjoy the pictures and stay tuned for videos of him dancing!

Playing and so happy

Sitting and playing in his toy box...he climbed in all by himself!

This is what Landon's hair looks like when he gets into Daddy's hair gel!

Not a very good pic of Landon, but it lets you see his crazy hair a little more

My friend, Beth, has a daughter that is three months older than Landon. This is Landon and Alaina playing together Saturday night.

Have a good week and be careful with the crazy weather!
