15 MONTHS!!!

I say it every month, but I still can't believe how fast Landon is growing up. He is 15 months old now and curious as ever. We had his check up today and he is in the 75% for height and 25% for weight now. He is 2'8" (32") and 23 pounds. He had to have 2 shots today so I decided to take him for his first McDonald's Happy Meal because he got more emotional than he has in the past. He loves McD's cheeseburgers for sure!

My friend Carly started doing this thing on her blog and yes, I totally stole her idea, but I think it's a great idea and something fun to look back on. Anyway, I don't know if I've posted it before but I started it in my "Landon" journal (the hardbound book that I've written in ever since the day he was born).

Latest Words: "Daddy", "Momma", "Baby","Jesus" (and he points to a picture of Jesus and then kisses it...I LOVE IT), "Thank You" (sounds more like tee too...and he signs it with his hand too), "Bubble", "No No", "Boo" (and he totally tries to scare me by popping around the corner...it cracks me up), "Shoe", "Kick", "Ball", "Sticker", "Hi", and "Eye" (as he points to his eye).
Favorite Things: His stuffed animals. Especially Elmo, his blue Britt Bear, my pink bear from Potterybarn Kids, Koala bear from My Lola and Papa Dirt, and also his white teddy bear from my friend Sara, who I used to work with. His new blue golf club from the Wallises (we sent the other half home with My Lola & Papa Dirt, so that he'd have some toys to play with when we go over there this summer), the nose sucker (the blue bulb to suck out snot with), watching his reading video, airplanes...not riding on them, he loves seeing them take off and when they pass by in the air, getting his teeth brushed (doesn't matter if its the electric toothbrush or just the one that slips over your finger...he LOVES it!)

Favorite Foods: Italian Chicken, Mom's Enchilladas, Pizza (don't judge me ;)), fishy crackers, string cheese, pasta shells & cheese.

Dislikes: Getting his diaper changed, getting his nose wiped, when Mommy is on the computer, being in the stroller for too long, sitting still in church, riding on airplanes, having to go home from the park, sitting on the "time out" stair.

Accomplishments: Knowing who Jesus is...at least in a picture, Jumping, putting things away (with help from me, of course), going down slides on his own (this kid has no fear anymore), drumming without sitting on Daddy's lap (he can sit at the drum kit, on the chair on his own). Blowing his NOSE, not blowing through his mouth, when I say "blow" when I hold a tissue up to his nose.

Highs: Seeing Mommy in the morning, when Daddy walks through the door when he comes home from work, playing peek-a-boo with a blanket, chasing each other around the island in the middle of our kitchen, playing with friends, going to the park (mainly going down the slides), when he sees a dog (and I just started to realize that I need to have a little talk with him and try to teach him that not all dogs are nice, because he sticks out his open hand to every dog that comes close to him or he runs up to...kinda scary...I know he doesn't really understand right now, but hopefully soon)

Lows: Teething (those molars are really wretched!), being sick, going to the doctor...

Tender Moments: When he gives me a kiss and cuddles into me. The best is when I'm sitting in the chair in the tv room and he walks by to go to his playroom (right behind where I'm sitting...it doesn't really even qualify as a playroom) and stops and gives me a kiss and then goes off to play with his toys...its the best thing EVER!!! When he wants to climb into my lap to read him a book or put on his shoes. When he holds my hand when we walk to the park or just comes and grabs my hand and wants to take me somewhere in the house (up the stairs or over to his toys).
