Landon @ 10 months


Happy 10 months Landon! Capturing these pictures with Landon and his bear has proven to be challenging since he is a little more mobile these days.
He has started to eat beef in his rice and veggies, loves yogurt, and we've been expanding his palette of fruit. He has gotten his crawl down and pulling himself up to stand any chance he gets. He loves to listen to music and clap his hands. He continues to put anything and everything in his mouth and is a very curious little guy. He is aware of his surroundings and loves to play peek-a-boo. All and all...he's a happy baby.

Landon @ 41 weeks


Oh my! Just this last weekend, Landon started to pull himself up. It's time to lower the mattress, once again. He also has figured out how to sit himself up...such great milestones.

He got his 9 month physical this week with Dr. Stephanie and all is looking great. In the last four months, Landon has grown 2.75 inches and is 29.5 inches tall(85-90%), was 16lbs 2 oz and now weighs 20lbs (30-35%) and the biggest news of all is that his head circumference has also grown from 17.25 inches to 18.5 inches(85-90%). Oh wow!

He's a trooper. He was kicking, screaming and crying because we had to pin him down to have his blood drawn but he did well considering he was being poked with a big fat needle.

Landon @ 9 months


Landon boy turned 9 months on Monday(April 19). Wow! He loves to crawl around, clap his hands and continues to babble and sing. He still drools (a lot!) and has 4 teeth with 4 more coming in. We think he weighs at least 20lbs. Boy, is he getting heavy. His palette for food is getting broader...on top of rice, chicken, peas, spinach, carrots, butternut squash, bananas and apples, he has been introduced to pears, grapes, tofu and star snacks. It is a joy to watch him try to feed himself...a little messy but all good.

We've discovered that he is not a fan of wearing socks. He manages to always pull them off with his little hands and teeth or wiggle out of them without using his hands. He's starting to hold his bottle...but only for a little bit before he figures out..."I don't need to hold the bottle....someone will hold it for me".

He continues to explore and want to discover, touch and put anything he can into his mouth. This includes planting soil, paper, books and leaves. I've gotten biten a few times trying to fish stuff out of his mouth.

The joy our boy brings into our lives is well worth the long evenings of not getting enough rest and getting things done. Life happens and loving every moment.

Happy 9 months Landon!
