Happy Birthday to Our Sweet 2 Year Old!
November 19th was our baby's 2nd birthday. I know that he is not "a baby" anymore but he is still our baby. It is amazing to me how fast the last two years have gone. He is amazes us everyday with his vocabulary and his little spunky personality. He is very stubborn minded and when he has his mind made up there is nothing we can do about it.
He had a "Fire truck" birthday party. The weather wasn't great that day so we were unsure if any of our family was going to make it from out of town. Because we had so much food and it was all ready for the party I also called our neighbors and told them to come on over for dinner. Well, most were able to come and some of our family from Red Wing so it turned into a HUGE party. Landon has a hard time at first because he is still very apprehensive around people he isn't around on a daily basis. It took a while for him to warm up but when he did he had a blast!
Here are some fun 2 year old facts about Landon:
* He is a huge sleeper. He sleeps each night for 11+ hours (8PM- 7AM) and takes a 2-3 hour nap each afternoon.
* Favorite Foods: cheese and fruit- mainly bananas
* He is a very inconsistant eater- he has a Feast and Famine style. We never know if he is going to eat or just push it away. We have decided not to fight him at meal time over not eating and just let him decide- he will eat if he is hungry.
* Landon has started to talk like CRAZY the last 2 months. We are amazed each day with what comes out of his mouth. He loves to repeat everything mom, dad and Peyton say.
* Loves to play with his train table. He doesn't quite have the obsession with trains that Peyton did, but he does enjoy them!
Landon's 2 year Stats:
Weight- 26lbs (24% percentile)
Height- 33inches (13th percentile)
Head Circumference- 48.4 (50th percentile)

Halloween 2011
Halloween started off a little different the the past years. Landon was fresh out of surgery so he was feeling a little under the weather. But, he was a tropper and still participated in all the festivities with the rest of the family. We kicked off Halloween with pumpkin carving. Landon loved this, Peyton loved the carving part but not so much the cleaning out the pumpkin part. The boys each helped with thier own pumpkin.
The Saturday before Halloween we attended the "Second Annual Timpane Halloween Party"! It was a blast the kids and adults were all asked to dress up. Landon of course was a little camera shy, but the rest of the kids had no problem stopping for a pose.
The adults were pretty serious this year. Jeremy and I dressed up as the Saturday Night Live Spartan Cheerleaders. Unfortunetly, another couple had the same idea. But, Jeremy and I outshine them because not only did we dress up, but we had our own cheerleader routine that entertained the crowd! We didn't win the contest for best costume, but we had a blast!!!
Peyton was Darth Vader this year!
Landon was a Skunk for the party!
On Halloween we got together with some of our neighbors for Pizza before the main trick or treating event. The kids were all so excited!
This is not the best photo of them all because no one was looking at the camera but it is all I have...
The kids all headed off with the dads trick or treating and the moms all stayed back at our house to hold down the fort and pass out 4 houses worth of candy in one stop.
It was a great weekend. We are so blessed to live in a neighborhood with such wonderful people that have quickly become good friends.

Surgery Oct. 2011
Landon had surgery to have his adnoid removed and to insert a second set of tubes in his ears. We knew that when he got tubes when he was 10 months old there was a good chance that he would have to have a second set. When he went in for his routine check with his ENT Dr. in September she recommended a new set of tubes because his left tube was in the process of falling out and there was already fluid behind his ear. We scheduled the appt. for 4 weeks later.
While waiting to go back for surgery for well over an hour Landon was very busy making the nurses laugh. He discovered "Talking Tom" on my phone. He thought it was hilarious when the "tom cat" would repeat everything he said.
The surgery went great and he came out of the anesethia wonderfully. The next few days were very rough. He ended up being in a lot of pain and wasn't dealing with it well. But, after the first week we haven't looked back.
Our Landon is a different kid now. We have been dealing with nasal drainage and congestion since as long as we can remember. We have tried everything from seeing a allergy dr. to taking him off of dairy in hopes we could help relieve this for him. Nothing worked until they removed his adnoid. We are so thankful for the dr.'s that took such good care of him and found out how to fix our poor little guy.
