He's Walking!

I just wanted to post a little video so you all could see Landon and his new talent...he's walking. It's too funny, Ben calls him our little drunken sailor...which is a pretty good description of how he walks. He took his first step right after Christmas at his Aunt Rachel's house in Charlotte, NC. So he was a little over 11 months at that point. From then on we were practicing with him, letting him walk from mommy to daddy. After a few weeks of that he got really sick and decided that crawling was a lot easier than trying to balance on two feet. So he protested and stopped trying to walk before his first birthday (Jan. 17th) Then on the 30th of January he just got up one day and walked from the door to the garage all the way to the front door! (about 50 ft). So he's been walking completely on his own for two weeks now.

Oh another cute thing that he just started doing a couple days ago...he'll grab my hair brush off the bathroom counter and try to brush his hair. I think its funny that at a year old he knows that "brush" is for his hair...but he does it with a "toothbrush" too...so I need to teach him that not all brushes are for his hair (example: toiletbowl brush).
Here are also some pictures from his birthday parties in the middle of January...they were a lot of fun. Here are some pictures from Maggiano's

Landon is pretty much always the spotlight of the party, as you can see below ;)

Papa Dirt and Landon, buddies forever!
