Arboretum

We went to the Arboretum Monday in hopes to get Landyn's picture taken with the live bunny. Yeah... That didn't happen. The lines were ridiculous! The lines were pretty much crazy for everything. We did however, get a chance to do a craft, and visit the petting zoo. I just thought it was SO cute how Landyn and his friend Natalie were holding hands throughout the entire park. We didn't even ask them to. Precious :)

Disney on Ice

For Easter, Gran Gran and Pa Pa took us all to see Disney on Ice. We had great seats! First row after rink seats. Landyn had a total blast! Mickey went through several wardrobe changes and they had characters from tons of different Disney movies. Landyn especially LOVED Toy Story! When they came out he started dancing, clapping, and acting silly. He also really enjoyed Mickey Mouse. That is one of his fave shows. After the show, we all went to eat at Pappadeaux's. Landyn was such a trooper. We didn't get home until close to 10pm -when his bedtime is usually 8pm.


This scene was from Princess and the Frog.

Gran Gran and PaPa... Thanks for such a great time! :)

Notice Landyn's pose in the last two pics. Funny!

His Mickey Mouse "spinner" as he calls it.

I guess you can tell we dressed him as Mickey Mouse. :)

Thomas the Train

Sunday, we took Landyn to see Thomas the Train at Grapevine. It was such a nice day and they had a ton of activities set up outside. We did not ride the train but managed to stay out there 3 hours playing. They had a petting zoo, bounce house, crafts, train tables and vendors selling food.
It was a good time!


In his engineer attire.





After he played in the bounce house he worked up an appetite. He asked for a corn dog (which he's never had) and nearly ate the whole thing! The corn dog was almost as big as him!

Cheezin' for the camera...

Rodeo Day

Last week was Rodeo Day at Landyn's school. They had pony rides, a petting zoo, trackless train and a bunch of indoor western themed activities inside the gym. Landyn was very excited to wear his cowboy costume to school. In fact, that night he still didn't want to take it off! I arrived a little late that morning and missed the pony ride, darn! But here are some photos of the other activities I did catch.



He was very hesitant to pet the animals. He said "Ewww.. That pig is Yucky," and " I'm ready to go inside and eat pizza!". There was a black baby pig in there, just didn't snap a pic of it.




Sheriff Landyn!





In front of the train with his buddy Gabe. For some odd reason he kept calling the driver, Sponge Bob Square Pants?


OK, this was hilarious! After he finally warmed up to the animals and started petting them... a baby goat went after him! He got this terrified look on his face and hid behind the smallest kid in his class! He's an entire head taller than him!! I was able to snap a pic just in time. Come on, son! you are braver than that!


After the goat incident. He said, "Awww man! I'm ready to eat pizza."

Landyn insisted on holding hands with his classmates and posing for a picture.

Duck Pond Park

We have really been enjoying this nice weather and visiting the parks. Last week we went to Duck Pond Park to play and feed the ducks. He was especially excited to feed the ducks AND himself! He would throw some bread to the ducks and then stuff a big chunk of bread in his mouth. I kept telling him that bread was for the ducks but he insisted. Good thing I had just bought a fresh loaf to take out there. Needless to say he didn't eat much dinner that night.


Overview of the pond.

The turtles and catfish kept poking their heads out and fighting for the bread. We even saw a little boy fishing. Landyn seemed really excited when he saw the fish out of the water (I was surprised he wasn't scared) so I am planning to get him a fishing pole.

Him shoving the bread in his mouth... He acts like he doesn't get fed :)

Big Boy Hair Cut

Gasp... For those of you that know me well I am attached to not only my hair, but Lando's as well. So, cutting it short was a big step for me (as crazy as that sounds). I am usually hovering over the hair stylist telling her "Don't cut too much". She actually wanted to go shorter but I'm thinking baby steps. My Baby looks like a Big Boy now :(


This photo was taken the day after. I gave him a lil fohawk.



This photo was taken right after his hair cut, she styled it.

Toy Story

"My Toy Story", as Landyn would say. This is his thing right now!! This was really the first movie we introduced him to and he just fell in love. He could watch this everyday all day long if we allowed him to. Since it's his fave, we of course had to buy the costumes! Here's him as Woody and Buzz. We can't wait to take him to see Toy Story 3 at the movie theatres this summer. I'm going to dress him up.. hehe

Valentines Day

Valentines Day... A valid excuse to buy My Baby more presents! :) This year he got Buzz Lightyear wings, cup and candy. All which he was very excited for. He flies around the house all the time saying "Buzz Lightyear to the rescue, vroom!".



In one of his Valentine shirts.

This picture was taken in the morning... Hence his Buzz P.J's

Yay, Gifts!!

Snow Day

What a fun day in the snow! Landyn missed school and we played in the snow 3 times throughout the day. Once he went outside- side (that's how Landyn says it) he didn't want to come back inside! He loved throwing snowballs at me and eating the snow! When Daddy came home from work they enjoyed making a snowman, Landyn named him Foot. :) What a treat for Texas.

Merry Christmas, baby!

We really enjoyed Christmas with Landyn this year! He was so excited to rip open all his gifts and even give gifts to family and friends. I will say he surprised us with his favorite gifts. It was the smallest of gifts he wouldn't put down. His two favorite were Mickey Mouse undies MamaMa gave him and a bubble gun Gran-Gran and Pa -Pa gave him. I especially had a lot of fun dressing him up in different Christmas outfits throughout the month :). Above are a few of my many favorite.

Happy Birthday Landyn!!

My Lil Landyn is now 2yrs old, well, actually, 2years 3months. Where did the time go?? He is still talking about his "Firetruck Birthday Party". We had a total blast! We had 21 of his closest buddies there to celebrate at Kiddin' Around. We even had the Coppell Firetruck make an appearance. I sure hope he doesn't forget this one! :)

Since he has turned 2, he has had an explosion of sentences and phrases! Here are a few of his favorite:

• Baby - After any sentence he will add, BABY. For instance, "My Mommy's pretty, Baby", or during Christmas he would say, "Merry Christmas, Baby!".
• Holy Cow or Holy Moly! - We have no idea where he got this one from?
• Aww Man!!
• I need! - Instead of asking for something he NEEDS it! He will sometimes add a finger point.
• I have _blank_ at home. -According to Landyn, he has everything at home.
• Will you play with me, Mommy/Daddy, pppleeease? - Who can say no to this?
• I Loove Yoou!! followed by a huge hug and Pppleeease!! - This is usually said after we have told him "No" to something and he won't give up. Hate to say... He usually gets his way :) (only on little stuff)
  

I know there are so many more but that's all I can think of at the moment. Two is such a fun age and I am enjoying every minute of it! Everyday he surprises me with new phrases and behavior. I just love it! :)
