Measurements
20lbs (give or take)
Appearance
~He's starting to thin out and get long!
~Landon has two bottom teeth and it makes him look entirely too grown up!
Sizes
~I'm moving him into 12 month clothes now. He's in the process of wearing his nine month onesies for the last time and nine month shorts do. not. fit anymore.
~Size one shoes.
~Size four Honest Co. diapers.
Personality
~This kid is so cool! He laughs at everything. He's not a huge crier.
~He's started fussing when he wants to be picked up, but overall he's super easy-going.
~He likes to really take things in and inspect things like your face if you're holding him or his toys.
Likes
~He like to crawl everywhere and he's fast!
~Landon likes to (try) and feed himself finger foods.
~He LOVES balls. He will laugh and wiggle when we give him one to play with.
~He loses his ever-loving mind when he gets to play in the water table outside.
~The dogs' water bowl is also a favorite of his. Ugh!
Dislikes
~He isn't particularly fond of being changed right now. He uses ninja moves to try and wiggle his way off the changing table.
~In the later part of the afternoon he doesn't like to be put down and wants to be held most of the time. Which presents a challenge because while you're holding him he tries with all his might to get out of your arms!
~Landon doesn't like to be left out and wants to be in the middle of all the action.
Eating
~Landon is becoming a pretty good eater!
~He's eating three meals of baby food each day and one snack mid-morning. He takes a bottle when he first gets up, a bottle in late afternoon and a bottle or nurses before bed.
~He hasn't shown much interest in nursing since he's become more mobile, but I'm still trying to nurse him every night before he goes down for bed. I think we're getting close to stopping, though.
~Some new foods he's tried this month are diced carrots, baked beans, pasta, avocado, banana and eggs. He LOVES eggs!
Sleeping
~I think this child is going to be my morning person. Preslie is not a morning person and neither am I. However, Kevin is and I think Landon is as well. Landon wakes up so happy and he doesn't like to sleep in.
~He's still on the same schedule as last month. He likes to wake up around 6:00, drink a little milk for about 10 minutes, and then goes back down until about 7:00/7:15.
~Still sleeps through the night.
~He can now go from a crawling to a sitting position.
~Landon reaches up when he wants to be picked up. I love it!
~When he's standing and you're holding his hands, he tries to pick each foot up off the ground like he's practicing taking steps.
~He pulls himself up into a kneeling position on furniture.
~He will crawl to whomever he wants to pick him up - and then whine at your feet. Ha!
New Experiences
~Landon stayed overnight with my parents for four days while Kevin and I went to a wedding in Oregon. I missed him so much! And unfortunately, he cut his two bottom teeth during that time so he wasn't on his best behavior for my mom in the middle of the nights. Oops!
~He helped celebrate Father's Day for his Papa and Bacca!
~He attended a Hello Kitty festival with his sister. I'm sure he was less than thrilled about it.
~June was a rather laid back month so there wasn't a whole lot of new stuff going on for him.
Kevin and I always say we wish we could keep Landon this age forever. He is so fun and we don't want him growing up and changing so fast!
