Landon Turns One!!!! Happy Birthday!

What a year to remember! And of course, Landon had an unforgettable first birthday. He ended up being very sick, so we cancelled the small celebration that we had planned, then sort of had one anyway (we had the sandwiches, balloons, and cake, so why not?) and then ended up in the emergency room that evening. Luckily, Landon was not dehydrated yet so he did not get an IV, but it was painful nonetheless. Anyway, we can't believe that the first year has come and gone. It is so much fun watching Landon as he turns into a little boy. He is no longer a baby. His vocabulary is expanding by the second and so is his sense of humor. We look forward to the next year of his life and we can't wait to see how much he changes and grows. Landon is so sweet and silly. He loves giving us kisses and making animal sounds. During Landon's 12th month, he traveled to New York for the first time to meet his family there and got his first haircut. At his one year check-up, Landon weighed 22 lb 5 oz (50th percentile) and measure 31.5 inches long (90th percentile).

Landon loves his new four-wheeler that he got for his birthday! Thanks Nana and Papa! We look forward to the day that he can press the go button on his own but dread it just the same! Watch out!

Landon's First Trip to New York

Landon met his great grandmother for the first time as well as many other relatives. He had so much fun playing with his cousins Gracie and Olivia. We wished they lived closer! We had such a wonderful time visiting with everyone and we are so blessed to have such a great family! It was fun introducing Landon to the whole gang!
Landon is at the Twist and Shake in this picture in Olean. He loved playing on the wooden train and he even went into a bouncy house for the first time!
Outside Texas Hot in Wellsville, NY. Landon of course ate a grilled cheese sandwich. Maybe he'll be ready for a hot on his next visit.
On our last day in NY, we had an awesome cousins' picnic at a state park nearby. The playscape was ideal for Landon and his "need" to climb. After two hours of good food and great company, the rain took over and caused us to end our picnic abruptly. It was fun while it lasted!
