Landon and Mommy at the Park

LT and I spent Wednesday morning having a wonderful time playing at a beautiful park in West Chester. LT loves the swings! This is my first try at taking video, so forgive me when it goes sideways.

Here are a few more pics from our day:

Riding the bee ... buzzzzzz

This way mama!

I think I'll walk UP the slide...

We had a GREAT morning, the only problem this day was that LT decided he did not want to take a nap - at all!  So this was the first time in LT's life that he did not nap, ALL DAY LONG!  Believe me, we were both pooped by the end of the day.  For some reason he would not nap?!  Luckily he DID take a nap the following day, phew!

ZOO

LT, Pop, and mommy spent the morning at the Philadelphia Zoo!  What an awesome day! The weather is perfect for a day spent outside with the animals. LT had a terrific day. He was soooo excited all morning for Pop to arrive at our house. LT likes to pick up our framed pictures - and this morning he pointed to the picture and exclaimed "Pop!"  So cute! 

Today we saw some wonderful animals, but I think LT's favorite part was our time spent in the Children's Zoo.  We were able to climb aboard a tractor, "milk" a cow statue, and even pet some goats, sheep, and lamb.  LT was in heaven and so excited that Pop was able to join us.  I know today was a day that Pop and mommy alike will both cherish in our memories!

Here's the latest...

Sorry its been so long since my last post. I have been trying to rid myself of this lingering cold and at the same time, LT has found a whole lot of new energy!  We have been having a great time and I recently just feel like LT is getting HUGE. Every so often he seems extra heavy when I pick him up, or I will look at him and just think - gosh, he's getting to be such a big boy!

His latest is saying "Ernie" - as in Bert & Ernie from Sesame Street. Yup, he loves Ernie. He also is trying to say "echo" and "Eeyore" - the donkey from Winnie the Pooh. He really gets fixated on a certain sound, he loves "e" words and "ock" words, like clock, sock, duck, up.  He also loves "auce" as in "sauce" and he makes a great "s" sound - which he uses to imitate water coming out of his play faucet in his kitchen, or him pouring pretend juice into our cups, or him washing his hands in the pretend sink and water.

Yesterday I watched him pretend to pour drinks into his cups and wash his hands, all making a "ssssss" sound to imitate water.  Its so amazing to watch his imagination unfold in his play.

Ha"Puppy" Halloween

Trick or Treat

Checking on my treats ...

Hold my hands Mom-Mom's

Two doggies

This is great!

Yes please

LT was the cutest puppy dog for Halloween! His costume fit him perfectly and he was just so adorable. Yes, I'm a proud mama. He kept his little doggie ears on the whole time outside and he carried his cat with him all night. He really got the hang of trick or treating! He loved that he got a Tasty Kake and kept stopping and putting down his bucket to check on it. He was so excited and running around.  LT was so lucky both of his Mom-Mom's and Pop-Pop's could join us.  Everyone followed him around laughing and smiling. He was a wonderful trick-or-treater!
