Landon's 3rd Birthday

3 years ago today I gave birth to this handsome little guy! It's just too crazy that it's been that long already!

Landon is so smart, I'm so proud. He loves numbers and letters. He just started singing the ABC's and it is so cute! I tried to record him but as soon as he sees the camera it's all over. He's really into Disney Cars still and his newest love is the Angry Birds, he loves playing the game. He's very into electronics, he figured out Grandma's iPad after using it only a few times. Loves watching movies. Some of the favorites right now are of course Cars, Ice age, Mickey Mouse-Have a Laugh, & Word World. Whenever my camera is out somewhere he can reach it, he always finds it and starts taking pictures, he's actually pretty good.
He likes routine, we have to do things certain ways or we get into trouble. He notices when things aren't normal. The other night Danny went in to read to Landon, Dan wasn't wearing a shirt and Landon was concerned about it, he said  "Where'd shirt go?" I said "I don't know maybe you should get Daddy one." So Landon ran into our room and attempted to get one by standing on a laundry basket. The laundry basket kept crushing when he'd step on it so he started getting frustrated. I pulled a shirt down and he took it to Daddy and made him put it on.
He still doesn't talk much, and communication is pretty hard, I think he knows what I'm saying but he has very selective hearing... Figuring out what he wants sometimes is no fun at all because he will just stand there throwing fit. Usually his answer to a any question is "No" so sometimes he wants something but you don't know it until you put it back and he gets mad because you put it back. He got confused when I started telling him "That's not ok" when he was being naughty because I didn't want to say "No" too much. Now he says "No, ok." when you ask him if he wants something. It's kind of confusing but it generally means "No"
He has recently started showing concern when Haden is crying. He says "Oh noo! Baby bruh-er is crying!" and sometimes will say "It's ok baby bruh-er.". Earlier today I caught him stepping on Hadens belly.. Yes very naughty but that's more interaction then usual :)
He still eats nothing. Sometimes getting him to eat his usual cereal, pop tarts, or crackers, is next to impossible. I don't know how he goes through days with out eating anything more than crackers. Sometimes at the end of the day after I've fought to get him to eat a bowl of cereal and put him to bed, I realize how little he ate during the day. It freaks me out and makes me wonder what I should have done differently with feeding him when he was younger. Sometimes I blame myself, maybe I was too stingy when it came to what I would let him eat at what age. I was always worried about allergies or if he was old enough to try this and that. But I have to remember my best friend growing up and my brother were the same way. Maybe it wasn't what I did or didn't do..

We had an Angry Birds cake this year. He loved looking at it, He of course didn't eat any.

He doesn't like being sung to (I can't sing along to the radio with out getting in trouble) so when we sang Happy Birthday he started clinging to Grandma and fussing. He liked when the candles were blown out though.

He got some pretty cool stuff! The only smile we got on camera was when he opened the Word World movie (the above picture). He was however pretty excited about the Cars 2 race track.

So excited in fact that he didn't really care about the Cars 2 blu-ray he opened next.

It was a great birthday thank you to everyone who came to celebrate it with us!

6 Months!

My baby is 6 months old today! I can't believe it! Time is going by even faster now and I really don't like it! My babies are growing up, Landon will be 3 a week from today. It just blows my mind!

Haden is getting really big, he rolls everywhere and is now getting up on his hands and knees and rocking. I think he'll be crawling very soon then I'll be in trouble. He will be into everything! He's still working on sitting up alone, with a little more practice it won't be long until he masters it.
He really likes paper and anything that makes the crinkle noise. Likes to jump and his favorite things is to be held of course. I spend most of my day holding him or if I'm not holding him, listening to him scream about it. He LOVES to eat. I'm hoping he will be an awesome eater, unlike my Landy who eats nothing at all.

He doesn't sleep through the night very often any more, naps are usually short or don't happen because he's really hard to keep asleep, and sometimes hard to get to sleep. He's very sensitive, slight head bonks,  someone sneezing or not picking him up hurt his feelings.
I'm undecided if the Zantac works at all, but I don't think the screaming is because of reflux anyway. I think it made him less pukey but he still screams all the time. I'm hoping he will grow out of it very soon. Maybe when he's mobile?

Here's a progression of my Haden baby from shortly after birth to 6 months old today. I think it's crazy how they change so much so fast!

And here's a video of his newest trick
