8 Months and more fun than ever!

We got to do a lot of fun stuff w/ Landon during his 8th month. We watched him get into everything! We went to the fair to see the animals and big trucks. He took his first ride in a swing at the park and loved it! He also got a bike seat for the back of daddy's bike and went for his first bike ride. We also took a trip to see cousin Noelle. It was a great month! We had our struggles too, Landon started night waking again. This was an adjustment for us because he always went to sleep really well and has been sleeping through the night since 2 months old, but we got through it and are trying to figure out what works for our active little boy. We are enjoying our son so much. He is such a happy little boy. He brings a lot of joy and fun to our house. He still loves to give slobbery kisses, he is starting to do something like a wave and makes the dada sound (although he has no idea what that means.) He also has the best laugh ever!



I like to sneak behind th end table and play in the stack of Bibles mommy and daddy keep for the teenager's Bible study on Tuesdays.

I like to make a mess too!

But they can't get mad at me for reading (or playing w/) God's word right?

I have been trying to get into this cabinet since I could crawl! This was a good day for me!


Mommy thinks its funny when I sleep w/ my behind in the air.

Firs time at the fair! Not to interested in the goats, pigs or cows though...

I loved the ducks though! (Although you wouldn't know it from my expression here)
Let's just say I like the ducks best when they are in the cage!

Trucks are cool!


Chasing my ball around!

First bath w/o my baby tub! (Note the strategically placed rag.)

On the slide w/ Mommy, not a great picture, but the only one we have.

Swings are fun!

Randy and Denise came to visit me!


I like to play under the swing...

however you do have to take some risks when playing under the swing...

Like when it knocks you down!

Hanging out w/ Kristen and Kayla!


Getting ready to go on my first bike ride, don't be fooled by the remote,
they don't make me wear a helmet to watch television.
My mom just gave it to me to keep me happy.

So cute in my helmet!

Getting strapped in!

Still smiling after the ride!


Daddy is funny!


Daddy feeding Noelle on our visit.

Playing w/ Uncle Chad!
We don't have pink stuff like this at my house!


All this activity wears us out!

7 Months Old and into EVERYTHING!

7 months was a big time for Landon, he attended his first VBS (attending meaning he rode in the back pack, stroller and took naps in the van!) He got to help host his first mission team (who was doing the VBS) and of course charmed each and every one of them. We did some swimming in the Langs and Whites swimming pool, Mrs. Mary wanted to start swimming lessons early. He also WENT on his first mission trip, which means he also "attended his first sports camp" and crawled for the first time. He started crawling on July 24th and has gone full speed ahead ever since. He started crawling and pulling up at the same time. The first time he crawled was on the mission trip and as soon as we got home and I put him on the floor he went directly for the floor lamp and its cord. Thus the child proofing began for Mommy and Daddy! Hope you enjoy some of these pictures of our adorable and ACTIVE little boy.



Helping the boys w/ their sports camp plans.

I know my stuff, they listened to me. :)


This was my sports camp track, laying on the floor and rolling around...

I also picked the ride in the back pack track!
As a bonus I learned to crawl! Sports camp taught me a lot!


Spencer wanted to feed me dinner.

Back at home, bouncing in my chair is exhausting!


Pulling up (my mom thinks its funny how far a part I would keep my feet.


My favorite place to play, under the end table.


Top view through the glass.


Playing under the exersaucer is fun!

Except when you can't get out and your mommy takes your picture instead of helping!

Don't worry I figured it out!
