17 Months

Yesterday my sweet little Landon man turned 17 months old.  Reagan wanted to celebrate his half birthday so badly, I told her next month :)

Landon continues to be such a busy man.  He is VERY independent these days and wants to do everything himself, this is a good and bad thing!  He THINKS he can do the stairs pretty much himself, he wants to feed himself (even with a spoon, which he hasn't totally mastered the fact that you can't flip the spoon around with food on it yet!), brush his teeth himself...do it all :)  He gets VERY upset when you don't let him do what he wants and has gotten REALLY good at stomping his feet.  I had to tell him yesterday his tush was going to be sitting in time out soon if he didn't stop stompin' at his momma ;)

He is really wanting to talk more and more these days!  He makes syllable sounds like crazy and is always babbling.  No real new words that I can think of, but he is loving to "moo" like a cow :)  I'll have to video it, it's hilarious!

Landon is loving playing with all of his new cars, trucks, and trains from Christmas!  It's so cute and fun (and different) to watch my little boy enjoy his "boy" toys!  He LOVES Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Little Einsteins...they are his FAVORITE tv shows right now.  He doesn't really have interest in watching the whole thing, but loves the songs and to dance to them.  He is still loving to read books, usually upside down, but hey reading is reading right?!  He is also still pushing anything and everything around, chairs, bins, R's baby strollers, whatever...wheels or not, it doesn't matter!

He really is such a good boy, just a busy one!  He is REALLY understanding us and I know he knows almost all of what we say to him.  He LOVES trying to repeat words his sister says to him, which thankfully are all nice words.

Landon is just getting so big and is such a momma's boy, which I LOVE!  He is my little snuggle buddy and loves to be snuggled and held right when it's time to make dinner :)  I love waking up to "ma-ma, maaa-maaaaa" every morning, it really is the best alarm clock around!

We just love watching him grow and learn!  He is such a sweetheart and I just love this boy to pieces!!

And just for good measure...here is sister today before we ventured out to get Bailey food and to the doctor.  Just wanted to follow up on Landon's cough, that is now at 6 1/2 weeks running.  Lungs sound good...doctor suggested a chest x-ray, but with our insurance that is 100% out of pocket for us...sooo thankfully we're going to give one more antibiotic a try and hopefully that will wipe this out!
