Walking, Sleeping and Teeth... Oh My!

Mr. Landon has been BUSY these last two weeks!!! On the walking front, he literally went from being a wobbly little stiff legged guy to basically running across the living room pretty much over night! He's also started climbing up on things...Oiy! The other night as he was reaching over the side of the tub for his toy the little guy picked up one of his feet and came tumbling over the side all wet right into my lap! And then he laughed about it!? Here's one of him today...

Speaking of laughing... up until this week we'd been rocking him to sleep for his naps and bedtime. Well we had a day or two where he WOULD NOT SLEEP. We rocked and rocked and rocked... we tried laying him down awake, laying him down drowsy... nothing would work. Then all of a sudden he'd start playing while we were doing our usual nap or bedtime routines instead of getting drowsy. He'd flap his arms and shake his head - and when you'd hold his arm down or say "No Landon, night night!" He'd start laughing hysterically?!?! =/

So that was the end of that - for 3 days now - no rocking him to a drowsy stupor! Adam started it cause I don't do well with letting him cry it out... but he gave him his blanky and binky, laid him down, said night night and that was that?! The first day was rough - he cried for like 20 minutes. Adam went in a time or two to calm him down and lay him back down but he eventually fell asleep. Same thing for his afternoon nap.... wow! I did cave for bedtime and rocked him a little but did lay him down awake where he proceeded to SCREAM. But eventually, off to dream land he went!

This morning was my turn for daytime naps... ugh. To my surprise, he laid down and hasn't made a peep for the last hour and a half now! Wohoo!!!

Oh yeah! Yesterday was mister's first Valentine's Day!!! AW! Guess what cupid brought him??? His first tooth!!! :) Yup, he's been drooling like a faucet this week and with that little bought of no sleeping I'd been wondering if one would makes its debut. Sure enough, as we were wondering how so much drool can come out of that little mouth, Adam stuck his finger in and there it was! Ever so slightly poking through - basically with no warning what-so-ever?! He hasn't really been cranky even!

And speaking of Valentine's Day, I'm a little bummed that I've been a slacker about Landon's pictures lately. My house is so freakin' small that it's really hard to find the space to set it all up. Plus I need someone to help me keep mister occupied and happy in front of the camera - now that he's SO mobile it's nearly impossible by myself and needless to say, it's not Adam's most favorite task. I'm still doing them... even though it's passed, but I just have to wait until my bff and her girls has a free minute to help me :) Hopefully this week sometime. Here's one from earlier today when he was just getting up from his nap...

Until next time.... Cheers!!!
