93/94 Weeks!

We have been pretty busy with having my family in town so I haven't had any time to post pictures of what we have been up to. 

As usual, we did many projects with my Mom and Rere.  We completed Logan's bonus room and Landon's bedroom! They both look great! Perhaps the next trip we can conquer the kitchen back splash =).

We had a lovely Thanksgiving with my parents and some close friends. It was nice to be able to entertain in our new house and have plenty of room to do it! On the Friday after Thanksgiving we got to venture out to do a bit of shopping and to walk around Colonial Williamsburg to see the Christmas decorations....very classic colonial!

Here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving/early Christmas!












Next up-Logan's parents come in on Friday =).  We have had a busy few weeks!

Until next week!

92 Weeks!

Landon has become such a big talker in the last few weeks that it is amazing. SO I decided to do an interview with a toddler...you will all see that he has the attention span of a fly...or maybe even worse than a fly. He pretty much doesn't have an attention span! He just started learning how to say S so now he says eggssssss and pleasssssee. It is pretty funny since it comes with a huge lisp.

Other current favorite phrases by Landon are:

-Daddy poopies...kills me every time.
-Ewww Daddy
-Rusty toys
-Sweepies, nigh nigh
-Daddy bwendar (Daddy's blender)
-Paw paw a bwin bwin (Papa is in the library)
-My Daddy is a very nice Daddy.
-Coo Coo's pwease (cookies please)
-Get down or sit down when standing on something he shouldn't be
-Santa ho ho ho
-Daddy shower
-ooooh mew man (ohhh mailman)
-my lawnma (my lawnmower)

I am sure there are more, but these are his most common phrases. He says something new every day and it amazes me how quickly he learns something.

Here is the video:

91 Weeks!

We have had a pretty good week.  Landon has been off his schedule due to the time change which has made everything a bit more challenging this week.  I think he is slowly adjusting and we should be back on schedule in a few days. It has made for some nice long naps this week though!

We had music Monday, went for our weekly walk and coffee Wednesday, and he went to Mothers Day Out this morning and to visit Logan at work this afternoon. He has had some intense stranger anxiety lately, which makes him not into a very friendly boy when out in public or around anyone besides Logan and myself. If someone says hi to him (or anything really) he ducks his head into my shoulder and says no in his most bratty voice...I just try to tell people it is his age and a stage and ignore my seemingly bratty child!  Today, at Mothers Day Out, they said he had a rough time when people would come into the classroom and would cry and say noooo, if the other teachers came in. They eventually had to tell them not to come in at all because it was making him so upset! I have no idea what is going on in his little mind right now. I hope he goes back to his friendly outgoing self soon.

He got to visit Logan at work today. He got to sit in several helicopters, watch some planes and helicopters on the flight line, and just wander around.  I think he had a good time, but Logan said he was a bit nervous around everything new.  He took him to the train table in the Drs. office, but since Landon has some EXTREME Dr. anxiety, he flipped out and wouldn't play. =(.  I hope we get out of this anxiety phase soon! I feel bad he isn't enjoying things as much as he used to!

Here are the pictures this week:
Helping Daddy move the car in the garage.

Late night Elmo watching

Playing at the park near our house

I don't know why we have a toy room...

Nesting blocks!

Couch running...making me have a heart attack.

20 months-only almost a month late =).

Drinking his milk all alone at the table...

Stole my seat to watch Sesame Street

Landon is getting a train table for Christmas so I spent some time gluing the tracks to the boards during nap this week. I have a few more to do, but I hope this will keep him from ripping the tracks up and less work for me =).

Mowing...  

 
 Landon playing with Logan

Landon hurt his toe and this is the sound he made for a good 30 minutes after to let me know he was in alot of pain...I think he is an alien! 

He needs to be in gymnastics before he kills himself doing these type of things at home!

Until next week =).

90 Weeks!













The big event this week was Halloween! Landon dressed as Clark Kent! We had several costume mishaps between the tantrum over the tie and pretty much refusing to wear his glasses except for a few minutes to take some pictures.  We didn't get any smiling pictures, but we did get some cute ones.

We went over to a friends house in our new neighborhood (I knew them before) and we had four little boys all born in February 2012 trick or treating together.  We had Clark Kent, a biker, the Lorax, and Yoda.  Getting all four boys ready, put into the wagon, and asking them all too look at the camera was a bit much to ask! They did really well for their first real time trick or treating. They went to about 6-7 houses. At the second house Landon even knocked on the door. Wyatt really enjoyed getting candy, Landon just enjoyed the knocking on the door. He was having a great time until Logan took him up to the house with the Frankenstein and that scared him.  After that it all went down hill.  We wrapped it up quickly after that and came home and put our little Clark to bed.  Overall, he did great and it was fun to go with all the little boys!

Now, on to Thanksgiving and Christmas =).

Until next week!
