I believe the last time I wrote was at the very beginning of my Spring Break. Since then we've been busy bouncing back and forth from North Florida to South Florida, back up to North Florida again... in between enjoying the rather brisk weather in Orlando hanging with friends.
Here the boys are with their buddy Mason hanging in the backyard after a yummy lunch date.
Connor is now 10.5 months old.!. Yeah. That happened. He's not walking yet, but quickly gets from point A to point B keeping Mommy and Daddy on their toes. He pulls up on everything and is taking a few steps holding on to things. He has 4 teeth and more are coming. The proof is in Connor's discomfort and my lack of sleep. Poor thing. He LOVES to eat food. I give him 3 meals a day and there isn't anything I've given him that he doesn't like. I mainly feed him lumpy purees, but will also give him shredded cheese and meats. He currently says a few words- Dada, Mama, doggy, and his sitter swears he says bye. I have yet to hear that one. He waves and more recently joyously claps when prompted. His absolute favorite song is "If Your Happy and You Know It." When he's cranky it cheers him right up. Connor still looks up to his big bro and loves to play with him. They play trains and roll a ball back and forth to each other often. It's been so fun watching him develop into a toddler. AHHH!
We celebrated Easter with my family in Coral Springs. Landon made BEAUTIFUL marble colored eggs with Grandma.

Easter egg hunt #2! More cash and some candy! (Jelly beans :))
Connor loves his new toy from the Easter Bunny!
Our Sea World trip was a huge success. We saw Shamu, observed other wonderful animals, and played!
Landon even rode on his very first coaster!

Although he didn't win, Landon had fun trying to throw these balls into colored cups. He was really concentrating and came close a couple of times!
Two weekends ago we went back to Jacksonville for our close friend's twin's birthday. I didn't take any pictures :( but while we were there Meme and Titi took us to the Clay County Fair. It was awesome!
This is one of my favorite pictures... we walked into an old school schoolhouse. I told him to sit at any desk he wanted and he went straight to the back of the room! He sat in "Johnny's" desk which I thought was funny because that is a nickname that his Nono calls him. He got to color and pretend to be in school for a little while and he loved every second of it.
Our angel was well behaved as usual and took everything in! And boy was there was a lot to see! (Including lawn mower races-)
And that brings us to this past weekend. We took the boys to the Animal Kingdom Lodge and the following day Animal Kingdom. The hotel is AMAZING and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
We all had a fun, educational day learning about all different kinds of beautiful animals and riding exciting rides.
There was time for some silliness too, of course. At the hotel they had a fire pit and they were giving out marshmallows to roast. However when our son was handed a stick he said, " I want mine raw" and shoved it in his mouth. If you know Landon then I'm sure this doesn't surprise you.
So busy, but SO fun. I love that our kids are getting to experience all of these exciting things. On the agenda for this coming weekend- NOTHING. :)
