Look Who's Walking! (Sort of...)

Another month has come and gone. As my fun and relaxing summer vacation comes to an end I feel so lucky to have been able to be a stay at home mom, even if it was only temporary. I've watched Landon explore and learn new things daily. We have enjoyed many playdates, swimming excursions, visits with family, and trips to Sea World.
In the following two pictures Landon is playing at Amaya Papaya- an indoor play place for children 0-5. He loves it there!

The Dolphin Show at Sea World

On July 25th, just a week shy of his 13 month b-day, Landon took his first steps. I was such a proud mama! Unfortunately PJ had just left for work and missed it by a few minutes :(. Landon has been cautiously learning how to walk since. He is taking his time and walks more and more each day but still prefers to cruise around on hands and knees. I've been trying to get a video clip of him moving around on his feet, but Mr. Landon is very aware of the camera these days and gets shy :). Here's a fun one though.

He has new interests these days including rearranging the furniture, splashing and putting his toys/hands/feet in the dog's water bowl (drives me bonkers!), listening to someone read books (his favorite right now is Eight Silly Monkeys), crawling under and climbing over things (people and dog included), dancing to reggae music, playing on his swing/slide, and giving and blowing kisses. Above all, however, his absolute favorite thing to do it eat. Eat, eat, eat. Every morning I go in his room and the first thing he says to me is "Nana!, Nana!" asking for banana. He loves whole grain crackers, and when I ask if he wants some for snack he flails his hands and kicks his feet and yells "cookie!" with a huge smile on his face. Okay, so he's a little confused but it's ADORABLE. And it happens every time! He started calling everyone "Mama" (including Casey Anthony when she comes on TV which is NOT cool...). And PJ taught him to put both arms up in the air when he says "touchdown!" in preparation for the upcoming football season.

This weekend Grandma and Nono and Uncle Ryan will be staying with us and we're all going to go to Sea World again on Saturday. It's a belated birthday celebration for Uncle Justin who recently turned 24. It'll be a nice ending to such a great summer.
