Weight: 19lbs, 1oz
Appearance
~Not much has changed since last month. His hair is growing in a little more, but that's about it.
Sizes
~Clothes: 9 months, 6-12 months and 9-12 month clothes (depending on brand)
~Shoes: He doesn't really wear shoes right now but I'm thinking he might be a size 2.
~Diapers: Size 4 Honest Co. diapers
Personality
~Overall, he is a very happy baby! He has his fussy moments but he's generally a pretty happy guy!
~He never stops moving!
~He has started to fuss if something is taken away from him. If Preslie happens to take a toy from him he'll get mad and she's so surprised that he is starting to have an opinion about what she does.
~When he's told "no" he turns back and laughs at you. Little stinker!
~He's generally a pretty quiet baby.
Likes
~Landon absolutely LOVES the water. We got him a bath chair so he can sit up in the tub with his sister for bath time and he thinks it's the best thing in the world and goes NUTS!
~He's becoming a lot more aware of Stella and likes to go for her if she's laying near him. He seems to have a fascination with her rear-end and tail right now (lovely).
~He enjoys his crib.
~He just adores his Papa.
Dislikes
~I can't really think of anything he didn't like during this particular month.
Eating
~Landon seems to have turned a corner with eating solids during this month. He makes a good chewing motion with his jaw so he's able to eat solids a lot better.
~He's eating three meals of baby food a day and nursing/getting a bottle three times a day.
~He's started using a sippy cup and has had no problems with that small transition. He doesn't yet know that he has to tip it up to get the milk out, but he'll learn.
~His sleeping has been a little rough during this month because he was pretty sick and wasn't sleeping well at night.
~He was starting to wake up two hours earlier than he normally would, so I switched up his schedule a bit and it seems to have helped some.
6:30/7:00am - Wakes up and gets a bottle/nurses
8:15am - Breakfast of baby food

Milestones
~The biggest milestone of this month is he's crawling! Landon started officially crawling on May 25th. It's actually an army crawl, but it gets the job done.
~He can also sit completely on his own now.
~He can go from sitting up, down to crawling.
~Landon has started to form sounds. His first official sound/word was "bubbabubbabubba."
New Experiences
~He practiced crawling - sometimes with not a lot of success. ;)
~Landon was introduced to the sippy cup. It was met with mostly frustration in the beginning.
~We had a special day with just Mommy and the kiddos and were able to go to the park and just play together all day. Landon tried out the park swing for the first time!
~He had a double ear infection and pink eye in both eyes this month. Poor boy was so miserable.
~He had a nice, long visit from Omi during this month.
~Landon celebrated his first Memorial Day holiday! Since he was still recovering from his ear infections, and Preslie was also getting over a couple days with a fever, we ended up just staying home, so not much celebrating went on.
~He helped celebrate his cousin Nathan's surprise 30th birthday party where he also took a dip in the pool for the first time!
~Since he's learned how to crawl he is now discovering so many new things. One of them being gazing out the living room window into the backyard.
As cliche as it sounds, every day is a gift with this sweet boy. He is the perfect touch to our family of four!
