Attention

Finally, something to catch Landyn's attention . Photos of himself! The other day I was on my laptop downloading pictures and he was sitting on my lap. When I was ready to turn the laptop off, he started crying ,and asking for more. At first ,I just laughed and let him look at more but every time I tried to turn it off he would cry. I couldn't believe he was actually sitting still and was so interested. So finally, I just put the laptop on the floor and started a slideshow. He literally sat there for 15 min watching it by himself! I couldn't stop laughing. What can I say, the kid loves himself!


He also loves looking at himself in the mirror. Whether he's crying or turning his body side to side making sure he looks OK before we leave the house.

Skating

Yeah.. I got this.

Check out that carpet.

Oh, Skates. When he saw some kids on rollerblades he called them "choo-choo's.

Roller skating at 20 months, wow! They tightened the back wheels and he used the trainer/walker to get around the rink. He more less walked but it was a great experience. They had a large and small rink but he preferred the large rink. As you can see he thought he was "cool" by leaning on the trainer. He was really having a good time and laughing. Although you would never know b/c every time I get the camera out he gets this serious face. He loves to torture me!

Fritz Park Petting Zoo

Uhh.. can't reach...

Darn.. still too short

MOO!

I wouldn't get too close..

We visited a petting zoo but Landyn was not interested in petting the animals. He is more of an observer. He also likes to make loud noises to scare the animals. Afterwards he played at the park.

Kissey Kissey

For the longest Landyn was so stingy with his kisses. I would practically beg him for kisses. He would always turn his head from me and would never willingly give out kisses (except for in the mornings). Well times have changed! He won't stop hugging and kissing. I absolutely LOVE it. However he is not only kissing me but everyone and everything else. Every time he sees his friends he now greets them with a hug and kiss. The other day he was kissing his toys. And I picked him up from school this week and the teacher said he kept kissing a little girl. He also now walks up to babies and gives out kisses(even if we don't know them). I need to teach him to save his kisses for me :) hehe

Founder's Plaza

We took Landyn to Founder's Plaza to watch the airplanes take off and land. He loved running around with his arms out like an airplane. It started to sprinkle while we were there and he was so tickled about the rain drops! It was the cutest thing hearing him say "rain! rain!'. And he was opening his mouth trying to catch the raindrops.

4th of July

Landyn partied like a rock star 4Th of July weekend (he stayed up until 11 both nights). Friday we celebrated in Coppell with his buddy Christian. They had fun running threw the open field and playing games at the different booths that were set up.

And Saturday we went to a Festival in Frisco.

When the fireworks first started he was very excited and started jumping around. After about 5 minutes he was totally over it. He kept saying "Bye-Bye, Bye-Bye?!" And then started to gather our belongings and pull my hand (when he is ready to go he lets us know).

Daddy was able to keep him entertained for the rest of the show- it was a good one.

"Nose! Nose!"

Landyn has now picked up an ill-favored habit, he likes to pick his nose. Yep, you heard right, at 20 months old my son is a nose picker! I thought this habit wouldn't come until later years but I was wrong. I think it started b/c I'm always using the nose suction and nasal spray on him. He usually hates this process and starts crying and trying to run away. So one day I showed him what was coming out (I thought he might be grossed out and sit still for me). I said "Ew.. Landyn look what's in your nose, gross! Let me get it out". Well, shortly after that display he decided he was going to get "his little friends" out himself. The first time he did it we were out shopping and he was in his stroller. He yelled out "Nose! Nose!". When I looked down at him he was holding his finger out with a nice little present on there for me. I couldn't believe what I saw and was not only grossed out but super embarrassed! I immediately got a wipe, cleaned his finger off and explained to him he cannot put his finger in his nose. That only Mommy can clean his nose with the suction. Since then he has done this a few more times and every time yells out "Nose! Nose!". I tell him not to this and it seems like he is now starting to listen. Today he brought me the suction and said "Nose! Nose!". So I praised him for bringing me the suction and cleaned his nose. Lets hope this is the end to his not so pleasant habit.

Here's a pic of him being caught in the act!
