Things I Love

Things I love about Landon:
  • I love how he gives hugs to his stuffed animals. He squeezes them really tight as says, "oooooh".
  • I love how he gives his stuffed animals Eskimo kisses and says, "mmmmm".
  • I love how he wakes up on some mornings and says, "opsicle" aka popsicle and walks to the freezer.
  • I love how when we drive by a park he says, "weeee", and whimpers when we don't stop to play (I don't love the part where he whimpers with sadness).
  • I love how he gives me a kiss on the cheek then turns his cheek for me to kiss his.
  • I love how when he goes to bed he has to make sure that he has every stuffed animal and blanket that he sees within arms reach.
  • I love how he pretends to talk on the phone and then laughs hysterically as if someone is telling him a funny story on the other end of the phone.
  • I love how when he sees a crumb on the floor he says, "uh-oh".
  • I love how when he sees a letter of the alphabet he says, "eee". Every letter that he sees is the letter Ee.
  • I love to watch him try to skip.
  • I love to watch him do the motions to "If You're Happy and You Know It".
  • I love how when he hears a noise coming from outside he says, "air pae" aka air plane and goes to the window to look for one.
  • I love how he is intrigued by birds.
  • I love how he gets so into playing with his books and cars that nothing can distract him.
  • I love how when he gets really tired he will walk into his room and say, "nigh, nigh".
  • I love how when he hears the garage door open he immediately starts looking for dad and goes to the door.
  • I love it when he is eating and says, "ummy" aka yummy.
  • I love when he sees a picture of himself and says, "dat me".
  • I love it when he goes to the closet where we keep our vacuum and says, "voom, voom".

This list could go on and on...I just wanted to get some of the things that I think are cute written down, because he changes and does so many new things each day. I don't want to forget one minute of precious time with him.

Look at this slobbery boy--he peeled this price tag sticker off of one his books and it kept him entertained for quite some time!



He kept putting the sticker on his forehead and then would look at me and do a big cheesy laugh as if to say, "Hee, hee look at me...I'm so funny".

It's NOT the piggy flu...

I decided to take Landon to the doctor this morning. He had a very low fever (99.4), and was very congested with a cough. With it being Friday, I didn't want him to get worse over the weekend and have to take him to a walk-in clinic...my last experience there wasn't fun. Fortunately, it was not the flu. We all got regular flu shots, but not the H1N1 shot. Landon's ears and lungs were clear, but we did find out that he has a sinus infection. So, with his antibiotics he should be back to his regular self in a few days! Here are some pictures from when we got home.
As soon as we walked in the door, Landon went straight to his high chair and said, "Eeee", which means 'eat'. Good thing we stopped at Sonic and picked up lunch!!

After his 'nutritious' Sonic lunch this little man must have been worn out, because he walked into his room, pointed to his bed, and said, "nigh, nigh". So sweet. We are going to make a trip to the library this afternoon and get some books to read over the weekend (not that he doesn't have enough in his personal library, he just enjoys going). I think we will be hanging out around the house this weekend and getting rested for the next week.

Blessings

My sweet little Landon woke up with a fever this morning, so we are home resting. I pray that the piggy flu has not found our house. His fever broke with some Tylenol, but he is very congested. I hope he feels better soon.
While Landon was napping, I went outside to check the mail to find the most precious gift in my mailbox. My dear friend, Jennifer, sent this Holding Cross engraved with Logan's name. What a special and thoughtful gift. Jennifer and I became friends when I was pregnant with Logan, and have been friends since. I love the fact that Jennifer and I can be talking school stuff, and then in the next sentence talk about Logan. She is such a dear friend and I value our friendship greatly. It comforts me to know that others still think of Logan. I know that he touched so many lives during his short time here, and to know that others continue to remember him truly brings me joy.
I love seeing his precious name on this cross.

Trick-or-Treat

We had a great Halloween and had fun sporting our CRAYONS!! I have to say that I am very proud of the results of my first sewing project!! David wasn't too fond of being a green crayon, but I'm glad that he was a good sport and played along! We took Landon trick-or-treating around our block with some of our neighbors. I'm not too sure that Landon really understood the concept, but he had fun nonetheless.Landon wanted nothing to do with camera, he was such a wiggle worm and wouldn't even look at the camera. We tried numerous times to get a family photo and this is the best we did.

After trick-or-treating we went to the neighbors for some fun. The kids ran around like crazy animals and the adults sat back and watched! I am very thankful that we got an extra hour of sleep last night!!

Cutest Scarecrow Ever...

Look at this little man...isn't he the cutest little scarecrow that you have ever seen?!?! Landon had a Halloween party at school today and he dressed up as a scarecrow. He was so funny in his costume, he would stomp around and listen to the hay (raffia) shake--he thought it was so funny!! He had a good day at school. All the classes went trick-or-treating around the school.


Tomorrow night we have a family Halloween party at a neighbors house. All three of us are going dressed up as CRAYONS...I can't wait to share pictures! I made Landon and David's costumes this past week, and plan on staying up late tonight to make mine!! It has been so fun making our costumes and dressing up together to a theme. I have never really been a huge fan of Halloween, but this year has been lots of fun...must be because of the cute little boy that lives with us!

Hugs

Such a sweet boy, giving George hugs. I love it when Landon gives me a hug--he squeezes me real tight and says, "ooooooh". Sometimes he will softly pat my back when he hugs me. He is pure sweetness!!
