Landon loves cake!!

11 Months?!?!?

Dear sweet boy,

I cannot fully wrap my head around the fact that I am sending out invitations to your first birthday party. I don't know where time has gone. This year has been full of wonderful memories for the beginning of our little family. You are still rocking those two bottom teeth. I love those two little teeth and you are so proud of them. Those top teeth are about to cut through though. I love when you call for me when you are upset. You are in love with Mickey Mouse Club House. You watch it as if you fully understand whats going on - which I'm convinced you do because let's face it - you are a genius. I hear that theme song in my sleep and especially the Hot Dog Song. You are not fully walking yet but you are taking steps. You have a little mix of crawling and walking going on. Your personality continues to come out more and more. When you giggle in your sleep it makes me smile. You have hands down the greatest laugh - it's contagious. Sometimes we have to stop making you laugh so you can catch your breath. You love to climb and I mean climb on everything. Your newest adventure is flipping the clothes basket over and climbing up one side and down the other. But you circle around it for about 5 minutes before you do that - just to size it up.  You love to wrestle with your daddy. You still insist on walking with one toy in each hand but I think it's because you like a challenge. I will try not to cry at your birthday party but I make no guarantees because I love you to the moon and back sweet boy. No smile melts my heart the ways your does. I'll admit that you have me wrapped around that sweet little finger.  Your Daddy and I love you so much! Try to slow down just a little for us.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy

I could eat him up!

                                                 

Look at those two teeth!

Love those sweet little toes!

One day he will like wearing hats!

I love love love all of this!!! It adds so much to our living room and dining room :) and the rug gives is a splash of color...Still have a little bit of work today but I loved smelling the leather in our home last night!!

Little man was a fan too...

10 months

Dear Landon,
I cannot believe how big you are getting baby boy! Your personality is getting stronger and stronger each day. Your laugh lights up a room and makes my heart smile. Your so ticklish and you don't stay still at all - unless your sleeping ;) You had  a wonderful first Thanksgiving and you tore up some sweet potatoes!! You love them just like your Daddy. I love getting to spend time with you and watch you learn right before my eyes. You are catching onto things. You love to crawl around and have at least one toy in each hand. I guess you like a challenge ;) You are going through a little stage where you are fighting naps. You are pretty much over the baby food but you love your yogurt, just like your momma did growing up. Your such a smart little boy :) Cannot wait to celebrate our first Christmas with you!

P.S. Your Dad thought it would be funny to give you a mohawk for your 10 month picture (I don't think you were a fan!

Love you sweet boy,
Mommy and Daddy

Hello all!

So yes - I have neglected my blog of personal updates. Shame shame. So much has gone on since my last update on personal things going on. I'm not even really sure of where to start....Here we go...

So my lovely sister married her prince charming, Daniel Bentley on November 5.  I think I did a pretty awesome job of planning her Bachelorette party if I do say so myself. It was a surprise for her - All of it. She had no clue where we were going and I loved that. We started off meeting at my house and from there we headed out to Buckhead for the evening. We had an amazing dinner at Maggianos and from there went to a painting class. It was a fun girls night. She had all of her besties there and just had good wholesome fun. And I had a theme (Thank you Pinterest) What did I do before you? ha!

And YES - That cake was truly as awesome as it looks! Shout out to MEG!!! You rock my dear!

More updating to come!

Santa time!

I knew it was going to go one way or the other...With our schedules we had to take Landon in the evening which is usually the "witching hour" for Landon. But to our surprise Landon did great. Stared Santa right in the face and started giggling :) This is what we left with and I know I will treasure it forever. Love this little guy more than he will ever comprehend!!

9 Months!

Dear Landon,

It is becoming more and more evident to me that time waits for no one. You continue to grow and change right before my eyes. At your 9 month check up you weighed 22 pounds and were 29 1/2 inches long :) You have not started walking on your own but I know that it is coming soon. You will hold onto the coffee table and end tables to get around. While doing this you like to hold onto things - usually you will have your orange little basketballs in your hands and you refuse to let them go. Your laugh is contagious. I really feel that you are going to have the best sense of humor. You have been the best little trooper while I am getting through my knee dislocation. I know the confusion of me not being able to pick you up or carry you has caused you concern. Someday you will understand baby boy. You can crawl like you are in a race. You get around like it is not a big deal at all. I personally have a feeling that you are a genius level IQ but I may be partial. I often watch you when a situation arises and you have to figure it out and I am amazed at how you are able to figure it out. I can see the gears in your brain turning. While I enjoy this at the same time it causes me concern. When we lay a chair down to keep you from going in the kitchen and you find the smallest crack or just outright move the chair - I think - We are going to have our hands full. You baby boy are the joy of our lives. Now, if we can just get you through the oh so ugly teething stage!!! Love you sweet boy!

Love you always,

Mom and Dad
