My Little Comedian


I hate the time of night when I have to walk out of Landon's room. Not because he's difficult to put to sleep or because he cries but because I just love spending time with him so much sometimes I want him to stay awake! He normally just hangs out in his bed for a while, walking the perimeter of the crib and laughing at himself in the mirror...doesn't normally make too big of a deal about my leaving. The other night, however, as soon as I left the room he started crying and saying, "mamamama." I quickly walked back into his room (I know, sucker, right?) and said, "Did you say mama?" He of course looked at me, squealed with delight, and replied, "dadadada". So, I kissed him, told him I loved him, and walked back out. Once again, he cried out, "mamamama." I, of course, went back in and asked him again if he said mama. What does my precious son say??? "Dadadadada"......and then he belly laughs, like this is the funniest game he's played all day. Does he really know what he's doing/saying? Sure seemed like it that day...and he was playing mom for sure! ......Oh yeah, and in case you can't read his shirt, it appropriately reads "Tugging on Mommy's Heart"...That's for sure!

Splish Splash

The incredible heat of this past weekend provided the perfect opportunity for us to try out Landon's new swim trunks (adorable by the way) and introduce him to his little pool. He's the kid who always tries to JUMP into the bathtub before I'm even done undressing him, so I was pretty sure he'd like being in the water; however, this being cold water...we weren't 100% sure. He was very excited to see his familiar bath toys had joined him for the swim and seemed fascinated that we were outside in the water. He, of course, at one point decided that mom looked a little too dry and climbed out onto my lap. Once I had been successfully soaked, he decided he really liked being in the pool better and climbed back in...so thoughtful to cool me down, huh? I can't wait to take him into a "big" pool...now if only my mom would get a solar cover for theirs so we could actually bear the temperature...........
