Swim lessons







Here's a few pics and video from Landyn's swim lessons. He didn't exactly learn how to float or swim like I had hoped but he overcame his fear of the water. It was funny b/c when the instructor told him to blow bubbles he would just splash him in the face.




FREEZE!



Landyn has this hilarious face that he makes when we say "FREEZE!" I have been trying for so long to capture this on camera and have finally succeeded. It cracks us up b/c every single time any body says freeze he will make this face. It all started when I changed his diaper, realized I forgot the wipes, and told him to freeze. This happened a few times and he added his facial expression every time. Now we just say it randomly to get a good laugh.




Him doing it without turning his eyes ( like he usually does).



Turning his eyes without hand motion.

He also likes dressing up. As you can see from his Robin costume. On this day he was running around the house with his arms up in the air (acting like he was flying) and saying Batman! I'm not sure how he knows Batman seeing how we don't watch it on tv. I guess it's just a boy thing.

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.
