My little baby is two!
I can hardly believe how much Landon has grown in just the last few months. He is talking up a storm and surprising me with new words and sentences every day.
He is a super-athlete and is obsessed with "backet" ball- and any other ball for that matter. We threw him a sports party with some family and friends, and he was thrilled. He'll take shot after shot in his new basketball hoop and if he misses he yells "ah-most!" or "cu-lose!" and tries again.
He idolizes his big brother and calls him "Cubby" for short. It's so adorable. He wants to be wherever he is. He wants the same toys Jacob is playing with, the same color of sippy cup, the same blanket during story time, you name it. And although Jacob needs his personal space, they are growing to be best friends... for the most part.
Landon is also his dad's biggest fan on earth. His smile and run can't be beat when Stephen gets home each day.
He is sweet and sensitive. He is so good at saying "Sorry" if he does something that hurts someone else and is quick to offer a hug and a kiss. He knows when someone needs help and quickly offers "Help you?" whether it's me sweeping the floor, Stephen putting dishes away, or Jacob making his bed.
He has been climbing out of his crib for months now and at the crack of dawn wedges himself between Stephen and me to sleep for a few extra minutes. I may grumble about it sometimes, but I know some day I'll miss those mornings.
His independence (which can drive me up the wall on some days!) has also really impressed me. For example, potty training. Although I'm not ready to give up on diapers for him just yet, he is totally potty training himself. I wasn't even interested in trying so early, but he's making that one super easy on me.
He loves making people laugh and has quite a "class clown" personality already (doing funny things just to see peoples reactions).
And finally... he's actually getting some hair!
I know the 2's can be super crazy, but I feel myself beaming with pride daily. I am just so happy with who this little guy is and all that he's learning. Our lives wouldn't be complete without him. He is a treasure.
We love you, Landon! Happy birthday!
