Copy Cat

I'm 3 months old today?  You're kidding! 

That's so cool!

I can hardly believe that this little guy is 3 months old, I have no idea where time is going, and I swear each day goes by faster than the last!

I'm very happy to report we are still sleeping through the night.  Since my last report Landon has slept every night consistently from around 8:00 to about 7:30-8:00.  The best part is, he's just so darn happy when he wakes up.  Just this morning I looked at the monitor and saw him smiling in his crib by himself.  It really makes waking up in the morning, fun (I had no idea it was possible!)

Landon rolled over for the first time last week, and I'm a little angry with him over it.  We've been waiting and watching and wondering when he would roll over for the first time and he of course did it when no one was looking.  We were having our usual round of morning tummy time on his bedroom floor, and while he was giggling and smiling to himself I got up to check out what warmer clothing items he had for Ohio, to see if we needed anything.  I was looking in his closet for 2 minutes, turn around to check on him and he's lying on his back looking a bit bewildered.  I stood there, confused myself, and realized he rolled over.  Kevin was on cloud nine that I missed seeming him in action with that first roll.  He has yet to roll over again, but you can see the determination in his face when he tries.  He knows he's done it once and is just trying his darnest to do it again!  He'll be rolling all over the place before we know it!  Watch out Vedder, Landon's coming for you!  (Cue the Jaws music...)

We have a little copy cat on our hands.  Landon has started watching your mouth very intently and will try to mock and imitate things that you do.  His favorite is trying to match the purring sound we make with our voice.  It usually just comes out as a grunt or a mouthful of bubbles come out, in which he smiles and giggles over but once in awhile he'll get the noise right and he just gets over the moon about it.  He also likes to imitate you saying the letter "o" and the newest one is blowing air through your lips to make the motor boat noise.  That almost always ends up with drool all over his face and bubbles everywhere.

Besides copying noises, he's also started to copy us if you open and close your hand like a wave.  He hasn't quite gotten it down yet but he's working on it!  He'll be ready for his grand marshal parade debut before we know it!

Bath time has always been a favorite of Landon's, but we just turned up the heat with his new and improved tub.  The first phase of his tub was a little mesh sling that he sat in, and we could pour the water over him and it would drain out as it was poured.  After realizing Landon was a little squished in his sling, we took the big step to transitioning his tub to phase two (sigh, he's growing so fast!)  This has a little bar where he sits his tiny tush on and you can fill up the tub so that water is all around him.  Landon's never been submerged in water so this was all very new for him.  The first day, he was mostly bewildered at what was going on but by day two he was an old pro and had his feet kicking and splashing the water around, squealing in delight.  Who needs TV when you can just put your baby in the bathtub?

"Mom!  I'm in the tub!"

Dad dressed me, maybe mom should start leaving clothes out for him so I match. 

Oh Hey!

"Be Hoppy"

I spy a little eye...

Baby products apparently are good for puppy brothers too! 

Ready to go close some deals with dad. 

Only cool cats wear their mom's sunglasses. 

Look, my puppy's picture is on my PJs!

Two little monsters.

The bottom lip pout, it's always makes Kev and I laugh. 

I ride in style. 

Thanks to Grandma Jill, mom and dad were able to get out of the house for a concert!  We had a blast, and it was nice to be responsibility free for awhile!
