This month Landon loves eating finger foods and is getting
better at eating with a fork everyday. We have entered the adventures of the
Happy Meals! Landon is able to finish a 4 piece nugget all on his own. We also
just began mixing half of his bottle with whole milk. Just this week he has begun to blow on his food after watching me do it for weeks. He now blows on all his food before putting it in his mouth.
Landon continues to be very active. While the TV may be on
or I may try to read him a book he still wants to climb everywhere . He is beginning to show some interest in reading animal books and likes hearing what noises animals make. Landon and
I went to storytime at the library twice this month. He enjoys watching the
other kids and has begun to try to take the toy he wants from whoever has it.
In our new house the stairs and drawers in the kitchen are definitely more
popular than his toys!
Landon is getting more and more balanced and has on a few occasions stood on his own for a few seconds. He now says up and reaches out his hands and also swings his hands up to signal TA-DA! when he does something special. David has been wanting him to do Ta-Da forever! It is very cute.
While in Iowa Landon made sure to get a Maid rite sandwich
and he LOVED getting to meet his Great Aunts, Uncles & Cousins (Marti, Pat,
Jenna, Aubrey, Mark, and Julie). Of course he was also spoiled by Grandma and
Grandpa Reeves and Uncle DJ.
A quick stop to Great Aunt Cheryl & Uncle Bruce before
and after Iowa gave Landon a chance to play with some toys I played with when I
was little. He also got to visit with Great Grandma Motondo. We then went to a
wedding and then up to the lake where Landon was spoiled with lots of hugs,
kisses, and play time with Grandma Harter, Papa, Jimmy, Trina, Nicole, Matt, Great
Grandma & Grandpa Orford, and many more. Landon LOVED the jet ski and kayak
rides. I am also sure he was jealous Tyler could get around faster than he
could. Next year we are in trouble when they both can run around. On our way
back to Virginia we met Grandpa Motondo & family for breakfast.
Last week we moved out of our house on Monday and into our
new house on Tuesday. We are so blessed to have such a busy and exciting summer
but are definitely looking forward to things slowing down a little bit before I
go back to work…and Landon turns 1!
