He's a maniac, maniac on the floor......

Landon has become a crazy little man. He, within one week, learned to crawl, sit up on his own, push himself up to sitting, grew another tooth, started saying "mommoommmoommmm", and manged to pull himself up to standing in his crib - he is a maniac. He is into everything, anything not classified as a toy is much more fun than real toys. Speaker wires, dog water, Rob's flip flops, drawer pulls, you name it. He can crawl where he wants and he does. He is eating more and more and recently weighed in at 17 lbs 2 oz - at 8 1/2 months. He loves Cheerios, green beans, and bananas. We flew to Oregon last week for 10/10/10 and Landon stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Erickson and saw Uncle Thomas and Joseph. He had a fantastic time and even came home with some new U of O Ducks outfits, and a few toys. He is still a happy little man, smiling and giggling now with his two bottom teeth poking through like snow capped mountains. He keeps running his tongue over his teeth, I'm sure they feel quite foreign to him. Enjoy the pictures and videos!

Landon in his hiking backpack - a little static in the air :)


Landon next to Lake Mary near Brighton Ski Resort at our hiking destination.

Figuring out how to stand on his own. Busy, busy, busy.

More standing.

A few videos.

Ladies and Gentlemen....We Have A TOOTH!

My what big eyes you have.....and a TOOTH! Landon sprouted his first tooth yesterday some time during the day or the night before. It's his bottom left tooth, the tooth right next to it is quickly to follow. Didn't/doesn't seem to bother him too much. Although I think he will quickly learn that it might hurt when he bites down on his little hand....we'll see.
Landon posing, he consistently hangs out in this pose. Not sure where he gets this.

Bumpy gums.

And here it is, you can see the white spec of the new tooth poking through.

All Giggles

It's been over a month and Landon has grown - of course he is bigger, but smarter, stronger, and full of personality. Yesterday I was feeding him and just kept giggling in the middle of our feeding. I couldn't figure out what he was laughing at so I paid attention to him and watched him slowly brush his fingers over his thigh....apparently this tickles. He laughed and laughed and continued to tickle himself. Is it even possible to tickle to yourself :)

Mountain Rendezvous was last weekend at the property. Landon represented in his Carhart overalls - double-kneed of course.

Hope all is well with everyone, enjoy the photos!





Another day at the cabin - chilly at night, requires a warm sweatshirt. Oh, and a little sun and wind burn. Check out my rosy cheeks.
















Eating is always exciting. Usually some bananas or applesauce in the morning and some peas, carrots or sweet potatoes for dinner. Most ends up on Landon's face but he's definitely getting the hang of it.




































Already learning the Blackberry - or telling Mom to stop working and get off of the phone!















Long day at the lake, time for a snooze. Check out my Nike sandals - pretty cute.







































More food.
















Cool new high chair that hooks on to the end of the table and spins around.



































Dad teaching Landon to play the guitar. (Landon also LOVES to type on the computer, he sends emails and today he tore the shift key off Rob's computer.)

The family at a pool party.

Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'

Landon is rolling all over the place. He decided today that he likes to roll over from his back to his belly, however once he is on his belly he is not so happy with his choice. Grandma DeVoe made a trip down and stayed for a week. It was so much fun to have her here and watch Landon. They were buddies all week long. Landon is growing so fast and is fitting nicely into his 6 month clothing. We thought those clothes would never fit and that people were crazy for buying them - we were wrong. Landon will be 6 months on Sunday - can you believe it?! Wild to think about what he will be doing in another 6 months.

Enjoy the photos. Some randoms from the past week.

More bath time fine with our silly hair. (It's short on the sides but sooooo long on top.)

Grandma DeVoe and Landon - getting ready for bed.

Rollin', rollin', rollin'.

My big boy jammies. Stylin' in Ralph Lauren.

Landon just giggles when Rob tosses him all around.

Rob's invention is to have a belt where you just strap your kid in so you can be hands free ;)

For all those Mariners fans!

Just another day at the pool!

Summer time......and the livin' is easy.....

Fish are jumping....and the cottin is high.......

Landon is becoming such a little boy. And yes, his hair on the top of his head just keeps getting longer. He has yet to lose any of it. Summer has been flying by and Landon is growing like a weed. He is such a happy baby and keeps us laughing every day. He is now very interested in grabbing his toes and putting them in his mouth, playing in his Exersaucer and Johnny Jump Up, talking to himself (chirping) and us, he figured out how to blow air between his lips like he is blowing a candle out - hilarious, he would rather stand versus sit, he likes to handle his own bottle when he's eating.

We have been traveling to the cabin nearly every weekend, Landon naps on the car ride to gear up for hikes with Mom while Dad is working with loud tools.

He is such a joy, we are so thankful he is part of our lives. Enjoy the photos - the videos are the end are sure to make you smile :)

My eyes are getting bluer and my hair is getting longer.


Check out my airplane!

Crack in the back - swimtrunks are slightly too big.

Too hot outside, pool time! (Hot water had to be added to avoid tears.)

Summer time! Working on that tan - little whitey.

Toes!

Exersaucer outside, a must during dinner so Mom and Dad can finish a meal together.

Father's Day Hooray!

It was a fantastic Father's Day! Landon was the perfect babe, Dad worked on the cabin while Mom and Landon went on a hike exploring trees, birds, and bugs. Landon travels around in his Bjorn and couldn't be more stoked to see the world. He is such a happy baby and is more fun every day, such a personality.

Landon LOVES Carhartts just like his Daddy. Hopefully his will actually see the washer.

A sweatshirt to match!

Landon got sooooo tired after his bottle the other night he passed out on Rob's shoulder. Down for the count - or at least 6 hours ;)

Mom got a Landon a new toy - a rubber giraffe for teething. Dad keeps wondering where all these packages from Amazon.com keep showing up from and Mom keeps wondering when the teeth are going to show up.

Love those smiles!!!

Landon loves splishy splashy. His hair has gotten so long, he might be the youngest babe to ever need a hair cut at 4 mos. His hair is all over the place and patchy at best in some spots. A bath time mohawk is one of our favorite looks.

You can hear Landon's little voice and see how he LOVES to play with his animals - Mom and Dad love it too! Enjoy!

Growing Growing Growing!

Another long break between blogs, sorry.

A lot has happened, Landon is developing such a personality, he has increased his cheek size and put on some pounds. He is learning to experience summer here in UT. We have been to the cabin a couple of times spent the night and thoroughly enjoyed himself. Grandma and Grandpa Phillips came to visit over Memorial Day, and were a huge help at the cabin, moving hardwood floors and installing a majority of them. Grandma of course had the most difficult task of watching the boy.

Size wise he is gaining ground. 52^nd percentile for his height, 6 percentile for his weight, 12 lbs 10 oz…tall drink of water like his father as his Doc said…

Landon also got to attend Daddy daycare last Friday, a group of us “new dads” went with out BOB strollers and played a little Disc Golf with our near newborns. The other two with kiddos are also about Landon’s age, 4 months or so. It was quite humorous to see all of us trucking around the course with little babies, beer and discs.

Landon spends much of his wake time giggling at us, talking to us and telling us about his day. He can quite literally carry on a conversation with you. Something that Melissa and I think is hilarious. He loves to spend time in his play pen with lots of animals hanging down, he is always grabbling a tail, and oodling with joy about it. So much fun.
