A New Buddy and Cute Pics

Landon and I went this week to meet the newest member of the Ayers family, Tucker Melton! I grew up with Laura, and it is great to meet her little one. They're differences are big right now, but soon Landon and Tucker will be great buddies!

Crawling around at Mimi's!
Landon is all smiles in Mimi's highchair! Yum!
Landon and I stay busy running errands, visiting friends, swimming, and going to playdates. He's such a fun little guy, and I love his personality. Landon is crawling up a storm, and keeping Mommy on her toes.

Hangin at Monkey Joe's with Ayla for Aiden's birthday party!

Playing with Carley in the bouncy area. Carley loves to give Landon food and hugs!

Sweet boy having fun!

Chillin out at the pool

Summer will be ending before you know it, but we're having a blast!

BFF's, Girlfriends, and a New Ride!

Busy week for Mr. Landon! Of course we had to take a pic of the Vine boys at the pool last week! Tristan+Jaxson+ Cade+Landon=so cute!

Chunky Monkey also grew out of his car seat, so it's time for a new one. Landon is now riding in style, and supporting his favorite team!
We went to the mall and met our friends to eat and play!
Abigail- 14 months, Landon- 7 months, Karra- 13 months

Playing in the kiddie play area- Doesn't it look like Landon's in the backseat?

Oh, we love summer!

Landon's Favorite Toy!

Landon loves to play with the toys on his exersaucer. But, when he gets bored of them, it's time to race! Landon loves to "run" around and around. He goes even faster when we say, "Go, Landon, go!" It is so funny, and we just had to share what we get to see every day!

4th of July!

Happy 4th of July! We hung out with the Skalons, Sloans, and Melchers for July 4th. Landon modeled his red, white, and blue and his new bib to mark the occasion!

Check out the flag cookie cake I made!!!

Summer Fun!

We've had a busy, hot summer so far! Landon and I are always out and about doing something. Landon is a great companion to run errands and go shopping with. We have playdates with lots of friends. We also go to the pool a lot with different friends. We're lucky to have so many friends invite us to their neighborhood pools! Of course we see all the grandparents and our sweet cousins too!

Most recently, we went to Tanner's 2nd birthday party. Check out Rebecca's blog to see the AMAZING cake and desserts she made. I can't wait to have her make Landon's birthday creations! While we were at the party, we lined up all the boys for a group photo. There's been a lot of boys born at the Vine lately! Jackson- 3 weeks, Tristan- 7 weeks, Cade- 4.5 months, Landon- 7 months

They stayed like that for 5 minutes and let us take a million pictures! They will be BFF's, and it will be so fun to show them this picture when they're older! (Look how big Landon is compared to the others!!!!)

One of my favorite two-year-olds, Tanner, at her Sesame Street party extravaganza!

We got together to play with Apryl, Karra, Barbara, and Abigail too! We can't wait to see them again soon!

At one of our many pool playdates! Landon and Macey hangin out!

And of course, we've been practicing sitting up!
Landon sits up for about 30 seconds on his own, and easily gets distracted by nearby toys! He will be crawling any day now (eek!), and he's already scooting across the floor faster than I can blink. 7 months old already!!!

Happy Father's Day!

Landon and Daddy on November 24, 2008

Happy Father's Day! It's Kris' first official Father's Day! While we didn't do anything spectacular or fabulous, it's still a special day. I was a little worried about Kris and his parenting abilities before Landon arrived. He's never really been around babies, and he always refused to hold them in fear he might hurt them. However, from the moment Landon was born, Kris has been a wonderful daddy! He's helpful, supportive, and he loves to play with Landon. Kris always recognizes when Mommy needs a little break from feeding, changing, and playing too. I think the best thing a mom can hear from Daddy is, "What can I do to help?" and Kris asks this often. Kris is already a wonderful role model to Landon, and Landon lights up when he sees his Daddy! I shouldn't have been worried at all, because Kris is a magnificent daddy who Landon adores with all his heart (and Mommy does too!)!!

Scootin' Around!

Uh oh! Landon's newest nickname is Scooter! He's scooting all over the floors on his tummy, and he looks ready to crawl anyday. Look out world, cause as soon as he figures out how to get up on his knees, Landon's gone! Now Mommy has to finish baby proofing the house for this little guy on the go!
