Landon 15 Months 2/19/11



It is unbeleiveable that Landon is already 15 months old. The last year and 3 months have been amazing to see a relationship between our two boys blossom. Peyton was very unsure of his new brother for the first few months now they are becoming the best of friends. Peyton asks to be the first one in Landon's room each morning to wake him up and is the best big brother in the world. Landon copies EVERY thing that Peyton does. He loves to immitate his movements and noises.

Landon has really started to become very independent with in the last few weeks. He has been a pretty "fussy" early toddler. His clininess to me has really started to go away! He loves playing with toys and is incredibly smart. His fine motor skills amaze us each day!

Landon's 15 month stats:
Weight- 22 Lbs. 2 oz- 22nd Percentile
Length/ Height- 29.6 in.- 11th Percentile
Head Circumference- 18.3 in.- 33rd Percentile

Here are some fun facts about Landon:
* Landon eats everything- but fruit (any fruit) is his favorite.
* He sleeps from 7:30 PM to 7:00 AM
* Takes 1 nap/day about 3 hours!
* Is starting to talk ( says; mom, dad, score (while holding up the hockey stick), shoes, uh- oh.
* Mimics everyone- he things he is so funny!
* Loves to dance!
* Is a little fish- he loves swimming and just finished his first round of swimming lessons.
* Is RUNNING all over the place.
* Loves to have a job- loves to throw things away, wash the floor, pretend he is sweeping.

Someone LOVES pizza.


Plus it is a great shot of his teeth since they have taken their sweet time to make an appearance.

Happy 2nd Birthday Miss Alana!

My neice Alana turned 2 last week and we headed to Red Wing this weekend to celebrate her birthday.


Alana kept trying to kiss Landon. Landon didn't seem too thrilled, but it sure was cute.

Hey Mom,

It's still snowing...


Is it spring yet?

Gone Fishing.

Jeremy was up North on his annual "Ice Fishing" weekend for President's Day weekend. The boys and I stayed home and had LOTS of plans but because of the snow storm that we recieved over the weekend most of our plans changed. We had a fabulous week anyways inside.

On Saturday Grandma DelRae came down for the day to see the boys. She of course spoiled them with lots of hugs, kisses and play time. Peyton and Grandma also made homemade Chocolate Cookies together. I am pretty sure that Peyton ate over half of the dough because everytime Grandma turned around Peyton had his had in the bowl.



After Saturday we stayed home the rest of the weekend. The boys had a blast playing together. Peyton also had his friend Cam over for a playdate. Luckily he lives across the street so there was no need to drive anywhere. Peyton and Cam played "hockey" for about an hour straight. Here is a shot of them sitting in the penalty box. They thought it was hilarious when they gave themselves a penalty.


We had a great weekend!

Tough Guys Wear Pink!

Last Friday it was PINK day at daycare. Last year on PINK day we just skipped it because there isn't an abundance of pink in this house. Well, I got a lot of comments last year that EVERYONE was wearing pink and he wasn't. So, this year I thought we would join in. I went to the store early in the morning to to try to find "plain" pink shirts for the boys. Well I found " somewhat plain" shirts they just had a V-neck and a little gathering on the sleeves. I still think my boys look adorable and this is as close to pink as we are going to get in this house of boys.

Still Winter

Well this winter has felt like it has gone on forever. Between the TONS of snow and the HORRIBLY cold weather it feels like we have spent way too much time indoors. This weekend has been beautiful so we were finally able to get outside again. Grandma Sandy, Ashley and Kaylee came down for dinner so I took all of the kids outside for a bit of sledding. Now, I hate to say it but it is quite possible we have the BEST sledding hill in our back yard in all of Rochester. The kids had a blast and I got a GREAT workout climbing up the hill over and over again with the 3 kids!
