My Little Man

Vegas

We're back from Vegas. We had a great time.
Landon did not perform during the ceremony, but he hammed it up before and after. I'll have to post pictures later (when I get them on the PC.)

It was a fantastic vacation, Landon was great, our suite was to die for, the food was grand. Everything went well. I'm still exhausted and trying to catch up on sleep and unpacking.

Landon's glad to be back in school with his friends and he has a playdate Sunday.

Fun with Laundry Baskets

All the money spent on toys...useless.
An old laundry basket...priceless.

Landon's new favorite thing is to turn the baskets upside down and stand on them.


He also enjoyed snuggling up in the laundry basket filled with our comforter.

Breakfast

How do you explain to a 17 month old that, no, he can not have cheese nips for breakfast? That he needs to eat his waffle like a good boy and let mom eat her piece of German Chocolate cake in peace...

What is it?

That's Lan's favorite new phrase. Doesn't matter if he knows what it is, he still says it. Cutie Patootie.

Bry made him mac and cheese last night while I was making burritos and spanish rice. But Landon wanted what Mom and Dad were eating! But then he got upset when Dad was eating salsa and he couldn't have any.

After dinner, we all just snuggled on the couch for a while, watching football. Lan's a great snuggler. Then Bry had to play volleyball, so Landon and I watched Sc.ooby D.oo and then Za.boomafo, then off to bed.

I love my family.

Some pictures

Landon was going to have splash day at school, so I took it as an opportunity to 'fix' his hair. Not sure dad thought it was too cute, but I thought he looked great.



Here's Landon and his cousins (minus Grace) when they visited a few weeks ago. We went to target to get pictures and I'm telling you, this beats any picture that idiot tried to take.


Our Florida boy


And finally, Landon in his footies

We're here...and growing fast

Landon is getting SO big. He's all grown up. For a 17 month old, anyway.

We're transitioning rooms at daycare this week. He looks so tiny in his new room, but in his old room he's the king of the land. It's time for him to move, but its hard on mama.

He's talking all the time now. ALL. THE. TIME. "What's this?" "What's that do?" "Here you go" "Where's the puppies?" And I think yesterday he may have said shutup. Not the shutup as in quit talking, but the shut up as in 'get out, seriously'...i say it all the time. We HAVE got to start watching what we say.

He's out of the highchair. He either sits in a normal chair and barely reaches his food, or we found an Eddie Bauer booster that he likes, so we use that.

He can climb anything. The baby gates, the couch, the car seats, the bed, the tub. He's our little monkey.

He loves to wink (which is more like just squinting his eyes) and saying bye-bye to everyone. He's a total flirt.

His new favorite song is "Five little monkeys jumping on the bed." Its so cute to see him do all the hand gestures. He's sleeping more and more in his crib, but still likes to use Mom's hair to go to sleep.

He's so much fun...I'm sad I haven't kept up with this blog like I used to. I'll try to do better. Cause I love my boy and don't want to forget any of this.

More Family Visiting

My mother-in-law, sister-in-law and her three kids came out last Thursday for the weekend. The kids had a great time. She has a 6 year old, 3 year old, and 9 month. Landon had a hard time sharing his house and toys and especially his mom. But he got used to it after awhile and shared the house and toys. Not mom.

We went to the zoo one day (that membership is definitely paying off) and Kemah one day. They did some shopping while we were at work yesterday. The kids loved playing in the fountain at Kemah. (Pics to come - camera is jacked up for some reason.)

Four kid in one house is a lot. I'm definitely rethinking the whole more kids thing. Maybe 2 would be good. LOL.

Oh! I got a new car last week. (Man, my blogging is slow.) We got an Acadia. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT! Its great.

Pictures from the Foster Trip

Movie Night

We saw HP3 and Trans.formers last night. Landon fell asleep in HP and then watched some of T. but then fell asleep again. He's so good.

He bit again at school on Monday. He had stopped biting for a while...but then two kids (yep, two) on Monday. Yesterday, he was good. But seriously, there's some times at work that I would just like to smack or bite someone too. So, do you really blame him? LOL.

He's in his crib most of the night now, if not all night. Depends on how awake I am when he wakes up crying. Sometimes I put him back to sleep in the crib, sometimes I wake up in the morning wondering how he got in our bed.

Grandpa Foster and Family

My dad, stepmom and two brothers came to visit this weekend. My younger brother went to football camp at UH on Friday. There were over 500 kids there, it was insane. My brother's graduating this year and looking to play football somewhere in Texas. UH would be awesome! Then we'd get season tickets and get to see him play all the time.

The weekend trip was great. They came in Thursday morning. We went out to Kemah - lucky for a break in the rain. Then the football camp on Friday and dinner at downtown. On Saturday we headed down to Galveston, walked the strand, ate some wings, then headed out to the beach. Landon had a great time in the water. He wanted to be with his dad the whole time. He loved the sand and all the seashells.

Then it was back to the house for lots of pizza. Oh, and in the midst of all the weekend fun, the dogs got into my brother's room and ate, yes, ate, his Nano. So we replaced it for him and Bry's looking at getting the old one fixed.

It was fun...Landon loved being with his Grandpa. He'd cry every time my dad left the room. He wanted to go everywhere with him.

Jane has all the pictures. Hopefully I'll get some from her and post them. Landon cried at day care today. I think he really enjoyed the attention this weekend.

Oh! Yesterday we helped Nicole cut down her neighbor's pear tree. Oh my gosh. It was gnasty. The neighbor is older and can't really take care of her yard. There were rotted pears EVERYWHERE. It was so gnasty (silent g, worse than just nasty.) But we got it all trimmed up and hopefully that will help everyone. No more flies and rotted fruit everywhere. After the clean up, we headed over to Nic's pool and got about 10 minutes of swimming in before a flash flood hit us. Hard.

Trip to DC

We had a great time in DC.

Here's a few pictures of things Landon enjoyed. I say few, because its only 24 pictures out of about 1500. Yeah, that many.
