It was a different year this year, our first without traveling over the holidays. Although we didn't travel we did spend our days with family...and they were wonderful!Although Landon had different thoughts about meeting Santa!Christmas Eve at the wayside inn with the Engbers. Sampling the treats that Charlie and Landon made for Santa on Christmas Eve A great visit to the children's museum in Boston Christmas with grandma and grandpa wa so much fun! Thanks great grandma Deur for the fire truck!!

It's beginning to look...
If you can't tell... We had to get creative with our tree placement!
A day in the life of Landon
Here is today!
A morning show with duke and a cup if grapes. A little pants-less throwing (notice the race car potty in th backround!... Just the beginning, folks). Off to the bank, post office (watch your mailbox Parker and madalyn ;), and Home Depot for our Christmas tree!
Back home for lunch, couldn't wait to eat ;) counter surfing at its finest. Built one more house before nap time (always a house with Legos and a tower with the blocks). Mom organized the closet during nap time :) after nap had to do my "chores", more like he thinks the Vaccuum is fun! A little scooping and dumping and more and more trucks. Playing a new game with mom, or just thinking the bouncy balls are too cool on their own. Playing mr fix it with daddy and his toes, dinner and tubby and then off to bed. Such a great day!
Good night- sleep tight.

Fall
Most of our time outside is spent throwing... Throwing a ball of any kind. Tennis balls to duke, soccer balls kicked back and forth, and any ball thrown over the garage is sure to be a fun time for this boy! He is ALL BOY when it comes to play.

BIG news
there is going to be a new BIG brother in town come May 2015!
Landon is gaining a fabulous understanding of there being a baby in my belly. Today when we asked him what the picture of the ultrasound was he said "efant!" Which he means elephant! We may have a little work to do in the next six months :)

words, words and more words!
this boy is a chatty Charlie! My, oh, my, I can't even keep up with his vocabulary. Its safe to say that he is in a cognitive learning stage, majorly! If your going to be spending time with Landon, here is a peek inside his dictionary, at almost 20 months.
'ponit' aka hummus... derived from me asking, "Do you want diP ON IT?' "It" being a veggie straw, and dip of choice.. of course, hummus
'poonie' aka smoothie, what?? you didn't get smoothie from that!
'munch' aka lunch
'cuck' aka truck, about 10% of the time he says it right tho!
'idigger' aka excavator, this is the word he says with the MOST passion and over and over again when we see the excavator down the street
'dink' aka drink (only referring to OJ)
'sawwy' aka sorry, which he says every time I say, "landon, look at me" (I guess I said that a lot when we were learning time outs :)
'poooo' aka pool! he LOVES to swim :) we went to a friends pool in town the last couple weeks of summer and he just floated in his tube for two hours at a time!
He is beginning to learn different associations, and learn things in different contexts too... like, when we are driving in the car he points out everything he see's 'hoop' 'truck' 'horsey', and then while brushing teeth at night, he keeps pointing to the soap dispenser and says 'horsey, horsey' and when I question him to 'show me' what he is talking about, sure enough, he touches the soap dispenser and says with confidence, 'horsey' as if to say, duh mom... you don't see the resemblance!
Another association, which I am very impressed with, is when he sees the black GMC Envoy drive past that lives at the end of our street and says, 'PAPA', because it is the same care that Papa drives! Very impressive, at least in my opinion, but also so disappointing when we have to tell him that no, it isn't Papa driving past four times a day.
