Cookin up a Storm

It seems like ages since my last post... and so much as seemed to have happened since then!

We've had our first Halloween, our first rice cereal, we're rolling all over the place!!!  Where to begin?

We started rice cereal shortly after my last post.  The doctor told us that we could start it if we wanted, and after Landon woke up twice in the middle of the night, hootin' and a hollarin' for a bottle, there was no need for further discussion.  We were starting the cereal.  I have to say, it's so exciting trying new things with the little guy.  Whether it's a new toy that he's now old enough to play with, or rice cereal it's fun to see how he reacts to things.  I'm happy to say, rice cereal was a hilarious success.  For some reason Landon finds cereal time rather hilarious and for the most part he's giggling and smiling the whole time.  The only downside to it?  When someone has a mouth full of cereal and sneezes... all over you.  I knew it'd happen eventually, so I can say I wasn't shocked when it did.

The first time eating cereal! 

Busting out our PJs, while eating rice cereal, and desperately trying to watch the forbidden magical box... 

Puppy brother is an excellent helper in the clean up department. 


Landon is now a rolling pro.  If I need to do some things in the kitchen I'll put our rolly polly on his mat, and I swear I'll look away for 2 minutes and he'll have rolled himself completely off the mat and rug and will be hanging out on the hardwood floors!  

Oh hey!  Just mid-roll!  

Rolling towards his brother! 

Our first Halloween was a success!  We walked around with the neighbors and their adorable bumblebee.  We did not go to any doors to ask for candy (as we'd basically be grown adults asking for candy for ourselves,) but it was fun walking Landon around on his first Halloween!  Next year will be more entertaining when he can walk himself and go door to door.  

Our family of jack-o-lanterns.  I clearly carved the best two.  The cat with the witch hat and the smiley face.    

A little Halloween treat from mom and dad.  Puppy brother was too excited to open his presents to let us take his picture. 

A chef and his bag of flour. 

Cutest chef I've ever seen.  

Our little family on Halloween!

Not exactly a happy camper...

Trick-or-treat is a lot of work.  

I finally had to break down and realize that Landon no longer fits in his 3 month PJs (maybe it's because he's no longer 3 months...)  So today I went through his drawers and his closet and I packed up all the things that no longer fit.  It's insane how fast they grow out of things, and it's so sad packing up tiny little shorts knowing that he won't ever wear them again!  We now have two full boxes of clothes that may be worn again, if Landon were to have a little brother.  (Don't get excited this won't be happening any time soon, and it's going to be a girl anyway.  I need an equalizer, I'm out numbered 3 to 1 as it is!) 

Our new favorite sound in this house, is the sound of Landon giggling and nothing makes him giggle more than when Kevin lifts him high into the air and then brings him down low.  He even makes roller coaster noises to accompany this game.  Vedder however, does NOT like when Kevin and Landon play this game.  He gets all worried that Kev's going to hurt him, barks uncontrollably and Kev has to show Vedder that Landon is okay, in which he proceeds to give him a million kisses and checks him over.  


Puppy brother has had some terrible issues with his allergies, and had to go in the cone of shame. 

Do you play in your activity saucer with your face? 

Just a boy and his dog. 

Telling his puppy a secret.  (He really was whispering in the puppy's ear.) 

Playing in his activity saucer! 

Our new favorite thing is working the pole, if we had a daughter I'd be concerned.  

My southern blood can't handle this cold!

Someone fell asleep at the food truck parks, all cuddled up in my legs. 

Feeling a little witchy.

Lastly, Kev begged and pleaded me to enter Landon into the Gerber baby contest.  I'm not one for entering these contests, but when you DO have the cutest baby ever it does make logical sense.  Here is the link to vote for him.  If you scroll to the bottom there is a vote button.  You can vote once a day for this little stinker... so by all means, please do!
