Abby Cadabby

So to switch things up a little bit with this pregnancy, we've decided to wait until baby girl is born to officially name her. From time to time, we've asked Landon what baby sister's name is going to be. For a while, he would reply, "Baby Sister!" Recently he's become a little more creative and decided on a name for her all on his own. According to him, her name is Abby Cadabby, which just so happens to also be the name of his "girlfriend" from Sesame Street. He loves her and thinks she is just so cute...so I guess it's fitting that he hopes baby sister comes out to be her. :)

Marshmallow Mouth

Landon came running up to me the other day holding his favorite stuffed Mickey Mouse. "Mommy! Mommy!" he says, "Mickey Mouse eat a marshmallow!" I looked at him, puzzled for a moment, until he began pointing to the tongue in Mickey's mouth. He loves marshmallows so much that he now thinks all the tongues on his stuffed animals or in pictures are marshmallows they've eaten. What a cutie pie :)

19 Months

What an amazing thing it is to watch someone learn and change so much in such a small amount of time. It seems like within mere moments, Landon has learned to walk, run, jump, talk, laugh, and sing. He constantly makes us laugh with his singing and nursery rhymes. His current favorite songs to sing are Old Mac Donald Had a Farm, Jesus Loves Me, and ABC's, and his nursery rhyme faves include Wee Willlie Winkie and Humpty Dumpty. He sleeps in a "big boy bed" as of a couple months ago...something that we thought was going to be a slow transition but he took to right away. In fact, he LOVES his big boy bed :) In the mornings he can be heard from his bed saying things like, "mommy's name Mindy and daddy's name 'pencer" and reciting his favorite songs and rhymes. As we're getting ready for the arrival of our baby girl in a matter of weeks, a part of me can't help but feel a little sad that our time with just Landon is coming to an end. I'm hugely excited to welcome baby sister and to see how Landon interacts with her...he's so in love with the thought of her already...I'm just hoping we can still give him all of the time and attention he needs.
