Sleepyhead

Last night before I went to bed I went to check on Landon and this is what I saw...

David and I could not stop laughing. Landon threw this hat in his bed while we were playing in his room, and I forgot to take it out before he went to bed. Funny thing is is that he does NOT like to wear hats at all, and the fact that he fell asleep with one on just cracks us up!!

Tonight before I came to bed I checked on Landon, and there he was sleeping with his little lamb tucked under his arm...pure sweetness.

ABC...

Painting

When we got home this afternoon Landon wanted to paint. He loves this sort of thing and he stays focused on it for a very long time!

He told me that he was making airplanes and snakes! Before he finished, he made sure that every little piece of his paper was red!!
He was so into his painting that I couldn't get him to look at the camera. So at one point I said, "Landon, let me see your eyes"! And this is the look that I got! So funny!

A few sweet things I want to remember:

Lately, if David or I get hurt Landon gives our "owies" a kiss. The other day I told Landon that my stomach hurt, so he said, "oh, kiss" and kissed my stomach. The way that he says 'kiss' is just so sweet. He gives his stuffed animals kisses too if he thinks that they are hurt!
He has also been good about sharing--which is pretty easy to do around here since there are no other little kids. He will be playing with a toy or helping me do something and then say, "Mommy's turn"...it is just so sweet!! He has the cutest little voice.

Mowing With Dad

Landon wanted to help dad mow the yard this evening!

I love how he wants to do everything that we do. We have to really think about what we say and do, since we have a pair of ears and eyes watching our every move! Ha!

Speaking of wanting to do everything we do...Landon was putting blush on his cheeks one morning while I was getting ready!! Shhh...don't tell David!

Landon seems to change everyday. He is a fun little guy and such a character! Lately, when I tell him to be careful or not to do something because he might get hurt, he will pretend that he got hurt. The other day I told him to watch his fingers as he was closing a door, and when I turned around he put his finger in the crevice of the door and started whimpering...then he started laughing as if to say, "ha ha, gotcha ya"! He has also started pretending...it is so fun! He likes to bring me pretend cookies, milk, M&M's, and napkins! So FUN!!

March for Babies

This morning we woke up early to March for Babies. We love doing this each year in memory of Logan.My heart was a little heavy this morning as were preparing for the walk, but Landon sure does know how to put a smile on my face. Landon and David ready for the walk. It was a dreary morning with some random sprinkles. About the middle of our 3.5 mile walk the rain really started picking up. Fortunately, our stroller has a canopy so Landon stayed dry for the most part.Landon enjoying a hot dog after the walk. This is the Garden of Hope. Families can have a place in the garden for their child. There are some placed in honor of babies that survived their NICU stay, and there are some in memory of babies that only got to spend a short time here on earth.Logan's picture is in the bottom row! Do you see him? His is the fourth one from the left.
Our sweet little piece of Heaven. Oh, how we are ready to see him again!

This sweet little brother was saying Logan's name all morning...and I LOVED it!!

Warm Weather

The weather was warm last week, so Landon and I spent lots of time outside in the afternoons.

It was warm enough that Landon was able to play with the water table that he received for his birthday!This warm weather is really making me wish that summer was just a bit closer.

Sneaky

Today when we got home from church I went to change out of my church clothes while Landon was playing in the living room...or so I thought! While I was in my bedroom, I noticed that it was unusually quite in the house so I went to check on Landon and this is what I saw... This was the look I got when I said, "What are you doing?" He knew that he wasn't supposed to be eating candy! The sneaky little boy was sitting at the table eating chocolate eggs out of his Easter basket!! There was chocolate all over his hands, shirt, and face!!
It was just too funny!! Good thing we had already had lunch!!
