Can't Touch This...

... Hammer time!

The beaver

I won this beaver a long, long time ago at a theme park, Knobles Grove maybe? It's been sitting in Landon's room since he was born and he just decided to play with it! You know he loves something if he sucks his thumb while holding it!

Kiss, kiss!

No snow snow day pictures

Having breakfast, mmmmmm, bananas!

Wanting to go outside wearing Daddy's sneakers!

Just being silly!

No Freaking Way!!

Last Edit at 4:41 p.m.: No snow, the sun is back out and shining like it's the middle of July. Landon's still snoozing. *really big sigh*

ETA at 2:30 p.m.: after about 13 flakes fell the snow stopped, the clouds went away, and the sun came out. So Landon and I played with cars and trucks, farm animals, ginormous legos, read books, ate some lunch and we're now playing kitchen and watching Huckleberry Hound. Still no snow though the local weather chick insists it's coming. Coastal weather stinks. The clouds are forming though. Time for Landon's nap so maybe when he wakes up but I ain't holding my breath!

I posted my last post at 10:18. I went to brush my teeth and clean the upstairs up a bit before I woke Landon. I decided to look outside one more time since I was obsessing and there is the snow! If I knew all I had to do was post about it I'd done so this morning at 5:45!! Come on, snow, more then 2 inches!!!! Landon and I need to play in the snow, snow like mad, snow like the banshees, snow like you're snowing in NC, the midwest, New England, just snow! Landon and I want snow!!!!

Snow day!

Yep, a snow day without snow. That's right folks, there's no snow! When I woke up this morning to potty and decided to look out the window I was sooo disappointed. It was 5:45 a.m. and good thing since Rob and I were certain I wouldn't have school, we didn't set the alarm. So I set it for 6:30 and tried to go back to sleep. Then the school secretary calls at 6:14 and says no school! Rob slept a little longer and then got up, got ready and went to work. Landon is still snoozing, what a sleeper and I'm still waiting for the stinking snow. Weather.com has dropped us from 3-5 inches today to 1-2 inches. *sigh*

Our fun

Landon and I have a lot of fun together. Like today, we went grocery shopping. Landon made a fun game of writing on the back of my shopping list with my lava lap pen that Grammie gave me. Then it was a game of turning the pen on and off, finally morphing into his really fun game. It was me grabbing the shopping list out of his hand, Landon taking it back and throwing it onto the floor. He was laughing so hard at this he gave himself the hiccups. Other shoppers were laughing at him laughing. I was laughing so hard I was wheezing. He was so good while we were shopping though he did throw his two cars and one of them went under the shelves and I wasn't crawling under to get it. When I did look for it under there I couldn't see it anyway. We bought bananas and he had one while I paid and got his coat zipped up.

I've really enjoyed watching his little personality develop and watching him turn into a little boy.
He loves:
*bananas
*his cars and trucks, esp. the heavy PSP ones Grandpa gave him
*bot bots (yeah, I suppose I should have him off of the bottle by now but what's one before a nap and before bed time going to hurt? He does drink from a sippy so I fail to see the big deal!)
*bunny
*stuffed Curious George
*huge stuffed monkey
*bear that plays "Lullaby"
*AIRPLANES but only when they are in the sky!
*cheese
*baths and the bath crayons
*throwing stuff in the trash can, mostly stuff that's supposed to go in the trash can!
*going outside to play
*sticks
*his camo rain boots
*when Daddy comes home from work

He hates:
*getting his diaper changed
*when I won't let him climb on the back of the couch
*being told no in any form
*when I sit in his Redskins bean bag chair

He's such a good mannered child. He doesn't really fuss when it's time to nap or go to bed. Some nights he takes my finger and leads me to the gate to go upstairs. He does that a lot, taking my finger and then leading me wherever he wants to go, like the back door or the pantry! He's not really saying a whole lot of words that we understand, a bunch of babble that clearly means something, we just not sure what. He does say some words very clearly though. I often tell him to enunciate!

I'm hoping for a snow day tomorrow so we have another day to hang out together! He's up from his nap now so time for more fun!

Silly Boy

Today is MLK Day so no school for me. Landon and I have been hanging out having lots of fun! I was putting groceries away while he played with his farm house. He's finally starting to understand me when I ask him to smile for the camera!

This picture is from the other night. Landon wanted all of his trucks piled onto his lap. Then he sat quite contentedly for about 10 minutes, sucking his thumb and watching t.v.!

Bed Head

Landon's always been a really good sleeper, even for naps. So, this is how he often looks when he wakes up! Funny stuff, 'eh?

Reading books

Landon Joe decided to empty his book bin out and sit in it!

Mommy, will you read this one, please?

Veeeery Iiiinteresting!
(That's his Elmo Goes Potty book. He just likes the sounds it can make,
there's no interest yet in actually using the potty!)

Random PIctures

I'm too fast with my Spider Man Slippers on for you to catch me!

Mac scratches his back on the corner of the couch so I can too!

Airplane!
