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!

The Dallas Aquarium

We went to The Dallas Aquarium with Landyn's cousins Jax and Savannah. It was an all day trip and the kids had a blast! Below is a pic from when we first arrived.


Fascinated by the fish! He usually puckers his lips together when he says "ish" or when he wants goldfish treats.

We put the the boys on a ledge to get a closer look at the fishys. We stayed in this spot for a while b/c the boys were having so much fun. Jax was literally trying to climb in the tank and swim with the fish. It was hilarious!

Wow...

Double Trouble...

Landyn feeding a bird. It took a few times before the bird actually got the blueberry. At first, he was just throwing the blueberry on the floor. Luckily, the bird didn't go to the bathroom on Landyn's hand like he/she did on a little girls arm while we were standing there. Yuck!

He was definitely worn out after a fun filled day.

No Fear!

Landyn is such a little dare devil. He has no fear (he started walking the day after he realized he could stand up on his own, 9 months)! One of his favorite things to do is stand up, put his hands above his head, and fall straight down. This is a video of him falling on the bed but that's not always the case. He will do it on the sofa, the floor, recliner, ME , basically anywhere. I am so worried one day he is going to hurt himself!

Zoo

We made a trip to the Fort Worth Zoo. This is a pic of Landyn and Anna.

Landyn was excited to feed the birds but not patient (It looked more like he trying to beat the birds with the stick). He wasn't interested in holding the stick and waiting for the birds to eat. But as soon as a bird landed on my stick he quickly tried to take the stick from me and scared the bird off.

He was so well behaved, I treated him to some ice cream. Surprisingly, he didn't eat too much. I think he was tired at that point. He passed out before we even drove out of the parking lot.

He LITERALLY posed for this pic by himself! He even said cheese!! Aw... I was so happy! :)

Overlooking the Giraffes. He kept screaming "raffe, raffe". He likes Giraffes. He has a small Giraffe toy that he sometimes likes to sleep with.

The Gorilla was being playful and sticking his tongue out.

But Landyn was still apprehensive about getting too close to the glass.

Over all it was a fun day! We will definitely go back before it gets too hot outside.

Bounce U

What up...

Landyn and Thomas at Bounce U. I was so proud to get a picture of both boys sitting still and looking at the camera, Yay!! Landyn had a blast jumping around on all the bounce houses.

Ready for the Pool

My lil swimmer was all decked out in his swimwear!
