The shower turned out perfect, we all had a great time getting Mason outfitted with all the many, many items a newborn needs!
We tried to pack as much fun into the last weeks of summer with celebrating birthdays and going on adventures, because that's how the ends of summer should be.
Celebrating my 2nd anniversary of my 29th birthday.
I mean, do you think he's a ham!?!? He was EATING up being the only child at my birthday party.
A little adventure to look at ducks, chase butterflies, and of course throw rocks in the water.
A motorcycle!
Daddy's new car has a TV in it! A blessing for those long car rides or Atlanta traffic.
It's oh so dramatic when you're best pal, BIG Jellycat is being washed. (He's holding medium Jellycat and you can't see his face but he's SCREAMING in agony.) Being that Big Jellycat is used as a pillow at night, and goes everywhere with us, makes washing him quite complicated.
Family movie night! (Which is NOT complete unless we have popcorn, according to Landon.)
The joys of potty training.
Completely out of the blue Landon asked to sleep in the guest bed. I thought I'd entertain this idea and let him take a nap in the bed, thinking to myself that it wasn't going to last long at all. He would most definitely not really sleep in here... Ha, I was wrong. I had to put him back in the bed a couple of times but he did eventually fall asleep and took a fabulous nap. So, when it came time for bed he was having NOTHING to do with his crib. He wanted a big boy bed. So in he went and with the usual bedtime fuss, he fell asleep. Neither of us slept well, fulling anticipating the pitter patter of tiny feet scurrying their way into our bedroom, and our bed. While I may have tossed and turned all night, Landon got a great nights sleep. Next day, same thing. So Kevin and I frantically decided we need to get him his own big boy bed before he gets accustomed to sleeping in the guest room and claims two rooms for himself. We did the whole game, he picked out the bed, he picked out the sheets, we made it to be so exciting that he was getting his own bed. The first night in the bed he screamed and screamed and screamed. He didn't want to sleep in the guest room or his big boy bed. ONLY his crib. Well, too bad it was taken apart. All he kept saying is "Daddy break crib. He go to time outttttt." He eventually feel asleep and was SUPER excited when he woke up that he got to sleep in his bed. This fiascos folks, is still happening over a week later. He LOVES his bed, he loves to show it off, he loves to talk about it. The simple novelty of being able to get out of his bed and stand at the top of the stairs screaming is just too enticing.
Sleeping in the guest room.
Sometimes we boycott sleeping in the bed so much we move to the floor....
and then mom moves him to the bed.
The infamous bed.
In the same week (because Landon figured he'd just rip the bandaid off and do it all in one swoop) Landon started his first day at Peachtree Presbyterian Preschool in the two year old program. He LOVES going to "Big Kid School" three days a week and is always asking to go see his teachers, Ms. Jenny and Ms. Kathy.
The snuggle bug.
