7 Months & Growing!

Landon has hit the 7 month mark and is changing every day. Many more achievements reached and many more to come.
1. Crawler. Landon has been working very hard the past two months on trying to get his legs figured out to crawl. Well, all his hard work has paid off. He is officially a crawler as of last week.
2. Teething (Bottom Front tooth is in, and the other one is coming in.)
 Which makes for a fussy and irritable baby. And ever since Landon was born, he has hardly fussed and has been such a wonderful and easy baby, but teething has flipped his world upside down. The past couple of days though, we have started to see our loveable and easy going baby boy come back to us, so hopefully the pain won't set in for a couple more days/weeks with another tooth. Did i mention spoiled! He wakes up throughout the night from the pain of teething, we got tired of getting up 5-6 times throughout the night with him so we gave in to our fatigue and let him sleep with us.
3. As of yesterday, Landon can lift himself up to his feet while hanging onto the couch, baby gate, my leg, etc.
4. Landon got in the swing today at the Park for the first time. He absolutely loved it.He kept laughing and smiling the whole time. He was in there for at least 30 minutes. I'm sure he would of hung out in there all morning, if we would of been able to.
5. Today Landon tried meat for the first time. (It was a jar of beef and mixed vegetable baby food) He absolutely HATED it. He ate 3 spoons of it and made the most disgusting faces while eating it. Then, he refused to eat any more of it. So, i got some green beans, and he loves that. Landon is eating 2-3 tblspoons of fruit/veggie for lunch with a bottle, and then 2-3tblspoons of Cereal/Oatmeal for dinner with a bottle. He is still eating about 32 oz of formula a day.
6. Yesterday we went out to lunch after Church with Shaun's family. Instead of leaving Landon in his car seat hanging out on the flipped over high chair, he sat in the high chair by himself. He did such a great job. Obviously he kept grabbing for my drink and utensils. No, we didn't let him play with the fork & spoon. Not ready for that yet.  And he definitely knows how to play the game. You know exactly what game i am talking about. Mommy gives me a toy and i drop it on the ground. Mommy picks up the toy, gives it back to me and then I drop it on the ground again. I already HATE that game. But, it is very cute to watch Landon try to get away with it.
7. This one isn't that big of a deal, but to me every New thing is a big deal. He sat in the stroller with out his car seat for the first time today. What a big boy. He loves being outside and watching everything. He continuously smiled and laughed.
8. Last night I was giving Landon a bath, because he had a disgusting diaper and definitely needed a bath after that one.  Anyways, while he was in the tub, he decided that he likes to try to crawl in the water. And while doing that he decided to stick his face under the water. And did this several times. He LOVES the water. He will crawl to the drain and sit next to the faucet while the water comes out and tries to grab the water.
9. Last week he said "da da". Yay!!! He has said "da" a couple of times since then.

Yesterday we took Landon to watch Shaun play Basketball and he just stared and watched the whole game. It is so funny how mesmerized he can get from lights, quick movements, sounds, etc.His eyes get so big. I love watching his reactions to things for the very first time. It's like i get to see everything through new eyes. He has taught me how to enjoy little things such as my shoe laces. haha

These past 7 months have came and gone way too quick. Where is our baby? He is now a big boy! We don't have to hold him any more, he would rather just sit on the floor with a toy and play, or let our dog Buster lick him in the face.

We can't wait to see how much he changes from now until his 1st birthday. He is going to be a completely different child.
                      Yes, when you squeeze the beak it says "quack"... Landon loves his ducky in the tub
                              Full of smiles today in the stroller! What a beautiful day in JANUARY!
                                                          He loves the swing at the park!
