Our sweet little boy is 57 weeks this week! He also hit the big 13 months over the weekend. Landon has changed SO MUCH in the last few months, it is crazy to watch all the new things he learns everyday.
Some of Landon's newest tricks are blowing kisses, touching his head, spitting, sticking his tongue out, working the DVD remote to turn on his DVD, opening and closing his toy box, high fives, blowing on food that is 'hot', and pointing to the moon. The amount of words he understands is impressive as well. He can bring me his shoes, keys, book, and a ball if I ask him to. He knows Rusty and the cats...he will look for them if I ask him where is the dog or cat. He also knows that a cell phone is something you put to your ear! So funny when he does it with random things, but at least he has the right idea!
His favorite toys lately are keys, balls, and his elephant that blows balls out of its nose still. He also really enjoys his drum! He still prefers none toys, such as my keys, but he is showing more interest in real toys which is exciting! Most of his playtime is spent waking back and forth and carrying random things to put over the gate!
Landon is slowly starting to speak and vocalize. He has learned the eat sign, so I can ask him if he wants to eat and he will sign to eat. That has helped cut down on some of the tantrums related to being hungry, especially around dinner time. He has inherited the grouchy mood if he is hungry trait from both Logan and I. Yesterday, we had an epic meltdown after he got up from his nap because he was apparently starving, complete with big giant crocodile tears. Landon can say done when he is done nursing and will just roll away and he also knows what a banana is-or nanas to him. He is pretty close to saying bubbles, but only if I say it first! He also likes the word, pop, that we read in his bath book every night. We are still working on alot of other words like down and up, cat and dog, etc. He can say mama and dada, but they still aren't associated with us. The most amusing thing about Landon's latest babbles is that the sounds German when he does it. I hear alot of dogens, neins, etc. It cracks me up and I hope the Colorado people can see this next week!
Landon is a vocal little due in terms of noises. When he rides in his carseat, he no longer sits quietly or sucks on his pacifier, he yells in happiness from the backseat and gives me a headache. He has also started this happy yelling whenever he plays or we are out shopping. It is slightly embarrassing and we are working on inside voice, which who knows when he will get...but for the mean time I don't feel like I can get too terribly upset with him since at least he isn't throwing a tantrum or crying. It will certainly be interesting on Monday on the plane with his yelling and a small area. Hopefully, the noise of the plane will drown it out!
Landon has three new favorite foods that he would eat every day if I let him- mandarin oranges, blueberries, and lasagna. This kids LOVES and inhales these foods whenever they are around. It is fairly impressive. He went through a picky stage of throwing everything on the ground as soon as he tried it a month or so ago and it was so frustrating. For a few weeks all he would eat was bread and pouches. Then he wouldn't even eat BREAD! It wasn't looking good. Something must have clicked and all of a sudden he started eating again. The kid doesn't like plain food, just like his Daddy, so I have to remember to flavor his food or make sure we have some sort of sauce...again just like his Dad!
Ok on to the pictures!
