Landon is Three!

Landon is now three years old! These last three years have gone by so fast, and time seems to be speeding up! I am trying so hard to slow down and take in the sweet moments with my little Landon John before he grows up on me. I love that he still likes to snuggle and give me hugs and kisses. I love that he still likes me to help him with things and always wants me to play with him. I just love this sweet little blessing the Lord has lent to me.

Just how did he go from our sweet little baby...



To our adorable little one year old...



To our crazy two year old...



To our grown up little three year old? It seriously feels like yesterday in that delivery room laying eyes on our much anticipated, much prayed for little baby boy for the very first time. A moment I cannot put into words. Do you ever wish you could pause time or revisit a moment? That would be one of those moments. The day I finally got to hold and lay eyes on our sweet Landon. I'll never forget the way he looked deep into my eyes when he first heard my voice, like he already knew me, and he did of course, but it was truly amazing.



Now, this baby of ours is growing up and is all boy. Right now, this boy is still very into "Thomas" and any trains, so we had another train birthday party this year. He was very excited about his train cake...





He was so excited that his Nanny and Bumpa and uncle Josh came all the way from Iowa to come to his birthday party. We had such a nice time with them and were sad to see them go. He was so happy that Mamaw, Papa, Aunt April and cousins Layla, Finn, and Zoey could all come to his party as well. Landon was so excited about all his birthday presents. He received many trains including a Battery-powered James and a Spencer which he is very excited about, a Bullstrode the boat bath toy that pulls Thomas (so Thomas can be everywhere), a soccer ball, parachute guy, a take-n-go Thomas set (again so Thomas can go everywhere), and finally a train table complete with Tidmouth Shed. This boy is just a bit spoiled...



We are still working on the whole sharing thing. When other kids start to play with his trains, he usually starts grabbing any trains in reach and will hover over and hoard them. We are really working on this not being his first reaction... I pray this little boy of ours grows up to know the Lord and love Him with all his heart, soul, and mind.
