My sister, Rebekah, sent me this cute picture and I thought it would be a good time to do a Landon update. I can't believe my baby is 18 months, time just flies by.
Here are some things that Landon has been up to:
He's starting to say two word phrases: "Bye bye, daddy," "Happy Day" (for Happy Birthday), "Bite Please," "My baby"
He's identifying a few people/things in his cartoon Bible - Jesus, Moses, David, Ark, Sky (for creation). He loves looking for Jesus in the Bible and any time we ask him who the Bible is about, he says, "Jesus."
Many time when we say "I love you," he says, "Jesus," and we say, "Yes, Jesus loves you." Then he says, "Bible" and we say, "Yes, the Bible tells us that.
He started to really like to play with legos. He puts several together then points it at me and says, "bang bang!"
Anytime we turn onto the road our church is on he starts kicking his legs and says, "AJ, Ja Ja" - for two boys in our church AJ and Josh that he absolutely adores.
He says, "Amen" after any songs we sing at church or after the prayers.
He loves chocolate and always wants to eat his dessert first (like any kid would) - of course I don't let him :)
Sometimes I cradle him as I would a baby and rock him back and forth and say "you're my baby." Recently he started saying, "my baby" when I start to hold him like that.
If I tell him we're going to see someone and ask him several minutes later who we're going to see, he remembers.
Every time we're waiting in line he makes conversation with strangers. He first says, "one" and holds up one finger (to tell them how old he is) then he says, "basketball." I don't know why, but he thinks it's a great conversation starter.
He's 32 inches long and just over 26 pounds.
Anyway, I just thought I would post these few things to have a record of it. We are looking forward to Thanksgiving. We will be spending it in Iowa this year for the first time since we've been married. I'm looking forward to the traditional Butter Horns - a family recipe for the best rolls ever :) And of course being with family and friends. Well, today is a beautiful day and I need to go enjoy it! Hope you are all having a good weekend.
