sheremyandjelley: Our One Year Old!

It is hard to believe that it has been a year since the Lord blessed with us the birth of Landon. He has changed our lives in so many ways, but more than anything he has enriched it. We feel so blessed and excited to be his parents. Everyday we marvel at how someone so small can be so complex and full of such personality. The rate at which he is learning is unbelievable! I love being a mom and J is just in heaven being a dad.

Here are a few pictures of our Halloween baby (He was a cowboy) and a few fun things that he is up to now.

He is walking all over the place!
He must have two things in his hands at all times and often get angry when he can’t fit all his treasure in his hands.
He picks up cell phones or other small object up to his ear and says “hi”.
He lifts up his shirt and other people’s shirts to find belly buttons.
If he could, he would choose to be outside all day long. He will often go to the door and yell “oy; oy, oy”. Translation: “I want to go outside mom”.
Every evening he points to our i-pod dock and says “oy, oy, oy”. I turn on the Carla Bruni sound track and when the first song comes on, his face lights up and he lifts his arms to me. I pick him up and we dance, often cheek to cheek.” It is one of my favorite moments of the day.
Mrs. Elisia gave him a toy horse head on a stick. He will lift up that heavy horse to dad telling him, “Please give me a ride”. Dad can’t say no, so up he goes onto the stick and they gallop around the house.

Bath time! All I have to say is “bath” and off he goes for the stairs. As the water fills he tries with all his might to climb into the tub all the while talking and yelling as loud as he can!

Cell phones, lap tops and remote controls… need I say more.
When he is eating he loves to feed us. He also wants so badly to be able to feed himself with a spoon. He tries and tries...what a mess!
He loves to go shopping because he loves shopping carts. As soon as he sees one in the distance he points and says “oy, oy, oy” of course.
Whenever something hurts him, lets say he hits his head on the door. He gets so mad at the object and then he tries to bite it.
He is an expert at finding planes and helicopters up in the sky. He will point and watch them until they are out of sight.
Once we pull into the garage and I unbuckle him, he spins around immediately, climbs up the back of the car seat and waits for dad to grab him so that he can drive the car. He loves to push the button that turns on the radio. When the music comes on he begins to dance. So Cute!

A few pictures from his birthday!
