17 months

This morning before school I combed Landon's hair to the side and it made him look so different- so old... won't be doing that again anytime soon!

Landon turned 17 months on Monday.
He says:
up, uh (uh oh), vacu (vacuum), birs (birds), fish, mama, dada, du-eee or duh (dusty), cheese, yeah, side (outside), nana (banana), teeth, oh wow, what's this
more (but only in sign language- thanks to daycare)

Knows the bodyparts: head, nose, ear

He understands EVERYTHING! It is amazing. He does whatever you tell him- take this to mommy, put this up, etc. He is also mimicking now which is funny.... he squints his eyes when he laughs and you think "Do I do that??? Where did he get that from?"


He loves to fix stuff/help out with whatever we are doing. Jason had the screw driver out changing the batteries on Mickey. Afterwards, Landon had to fix Mickey with the screw driver too!

He loves to match pots & pans, tuperware, etc but gets really mad when the lids don't match.

He loves water. Right now he is getting his fair share- we go to our waterpark or friend's pools often, swim classes on Wednesday nights and Splash Day at daycare on Tuesday. He is a water baby!

He loves to laugh and make us laugh! He is silly & likes silly games and songs.

He loves to eat! Favorites are: grapes, bananas, yogurt, cheese, but eats everything. Always uses a fork or spoon now and is getting really good at it!

Off the bottle finally! Woo hoo!

He loves music. His teachers told me on Wednesday they have a guy come in and play the guitar. He was playing slower songs and all the kids were sitting and listening. The guitar guy started playing something fast and Landon stood up and started dancing! He dances to the radio in the car and we sing songs all the time. He loves: Itsy Bitsy Spider, Wheels on the Bus, and If You're Happy & You Know It.

When staying at the grandparents....

you pick your vegetables for meals

in a diaper and tshirt at 2 pm



you get to play on the computer (in your pajamas) because mommy & daddy don't let you play on theirs at home


you get to bring "inside" toys outside

you get to ride the tractor or be pulled in the wagon around the yard 50000 times a day

you get reeeeally spoiled and throw a biiiiiig fit when it's time to leave!
landon had the best weekend with nana & papa!!!! he was really sad to come back home. haha!

O-Fish-L

It's O-Fish-L... Landon started swim classes today. It is um... different... dunking, etc. Landon LOVES the water. I hope this doesn't change his mind :-( Luckily, it's expensive so if he hates it- he won't have to worry about going too many times!

Ice cream afterwards to celebrate!






Splash Day at Daycare. One of Landon's old teachers took the pics for me since I couldn't be there. I knew he would LOVE it! All the teachers told me he lovin' it!












Landon now says up, uh (for uh-oh) and zzzeeezzz (for cheese). He still loves outside. And cries by the door when we have to come in.




Zzzzeeeezzzzzz




Loves the mop, broom, swiffer, etc. Working on his technique!





But he is obsessed.... OBSESSED... with the vacuum cleaner. We have to get it out at least 2 times a day and vacuum around. We have to tell it bye bye when we put it up, etc. It's a big production!!!! Landon calls it vacu.



Shrieking and clapping because VACU is out to play....



At least I have clean carpets!!!!!

Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day was a great weekend! The whole fam was together for fun in the sun and good food (Jason even grilled chicken instead of his usual steaks/hamburgers/red meat! It tasted really good even though it may or may not have been on fire :-) ). We spent everyday at our little neighborhood pools or waterpark. It was so fun! It makes me less bitter about our ridiculous HOA fees!
