20 Months Old

Say it isn't so...Landon is 20 months old today. I can't believe that in 4 months my baby will be 2. In just 4 short months Landon will be in our lives for 730 days or 17,520 hours. I just don't know where the time has gone. Landon has grown and changed so much over these past 20 months. I know he has so much more growing and changing to do, but I am not ready for it. I want my little baby boy back. Don't get me wrong, I love the age that Landon is at right now. I love receiving kisses from Landon daily and him running up to me and hugging me. I love watching his mind at work when he is playing on his own and I love watching him climb up and down the slides at the park. I just don't love how quickly time is going by. I know that his 2nd year of life is bound to be a great one filled with many more memories. I am looking forward to it, but I just wish it would slow down a little.

As for an update on Landon, he is doing really well. He is just the sweetest little boy, but can be so very bad at the same time. He wakes me up every morning with a kiss, but he also hits me in the head with the remote control every morning as well! He is always in a hurry to watch Tigger and Pooh first thing in the morning and figures that by hitting me with the remote it will get turned on quicker. He is also able to help me with his breakfast every morning. He is able to open the microwave for when I make him oatmeal and he is able to pull his milk out of the fridge. But once again, those helpful moments are overshadowed by him dumping over the dog water bowl as I am filling his sippy cup up with milk! Landon definitely knows how to keep me busy.

This next week is going to be a rather busy one for us. On Monday we take Landon to meet with a urologist. His pediatrician feels as if Landon needs to be re-circumcised so we are meeting with a specialist come Monday. I am hoping that this is not the case and that all is fine. I don't even want to think about Landon going under anesthesia. I teared up at the doctors office with just the mention of it being a possibility. I will keep everyone informed once we know more. We also meet Landon's new pediatrician on Wednesday. I am hoping that I finally found someone who will take the time to get to know Landon. His last pediatrician had several different doctors in the office. I hated that we always saw a different doctor and I hated how they would always ask if they had ever seen us before when they in fact had several times. They just couldn't keep up with the number of patients and I felt like Landon's health and well being were being jeopardized because of their over crowded office. The pediatrician that we will be taking Landon to on Wednesday is a single doctor office (does that make sense?) so I am hoping that we will be provided with the one on one attention that I am expecting from a pediatrician. It is definitely going to be a challenging week next week and I am looking forward to it coming to an end before it even begins!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

The other night we took Landon to a pumpkin patch. We took him to the same one that we went to last year. It just amazed me how much Landon has grown and changed. Especially when I saw him on the same props as last year and compared the pictures. Unfortunately, Landon wanted nothing to do with pictures this year. He was too excited to stop for a single moment for a good picture. He had a blast at the pumpkin patch. He especially loved the wagon ride and a rocking horse that they had there.

Amazed by how big the pumpkin is

Trying to pick up the pumkin

Landon would never try to push a wagon filled with pumpkins and break the wheel. Nope, not my boy!

Landon loved the pumpkin carriage

Landon even picked out his own little pumpkin.

He couldn't wait to show it to me!

I carved Landon's pumpkin last night. Of course, it is a Winnie the Pooh pumpkin. It was hard to carve with a little one pulling at my arms and legs the whole time, but overall I think that it turned out pretty well. My mom is carving a Tigger pumpkin for Landon today. I can't wait to see how that one turns out. Later on this evening we will be taking our own Tigger out trick-or-treating. I will make sure to get those pictures up as soon as possible. Happy Halloween!

Changes

Last night I posted a video of Landon that I came across from when he was 2 months old. I can't believe how much he has changed. He was such a chunky monkey! Landon wasn't even moving around then. I would place him in the boppy and he would just lay there for the longest time without fussing. Now it is impossible to get him to sit still! He is always on the go. He has spent the past two days walking around with his little walking push toy. If only he could figure out how to back up with it when he runs into the walls or a piece of furniture. I have to constantly follow behind him and turn it around for him when he gets stuck. I'm sure he'll figure it out soon enough. I was going to add another video, but it took almost two hours for that last one to load and I don't have the patience to load another one.

Landon is 7 Months Old!

Playing with his Pooh

Seven months have now passed since we welcomed Landon into the world. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. Landon has changed so much. He has lost most of his chubbiness in his face, arms, and stomach. His legs, however, are still huge. I think they account for 16 of his 20 lbs! These past 7 months have been filled with so much joy. He is such an easy-going and happy baby. Landon is always smiling and laughing and he loves to cuddle. He is always giving us hugs and kisses. Landon already has such a large personality. He loves to talk and even hums while he eats. He wants to be heard at all times and is only quiet when he's sleeping or getting into the DVDs. He is going to be quite the talker. He whines like a puppy when I leave the room (I think Tinkerbell taught him that) and he has become a big mommy's boy. I love how his face lights up in the morning when Kevin or I go to get him out of his crib and how big he smiles when Kevin walks through the door after coming home from work. He has changed our lives so much and I am excited to see what is in store for us for the next 7 months and years to come.
