Landon is 11 months

My sweet boy is 11 months old!  This post is 2 weeks late but etter late than never.  The photo sessions are getting harder and harder!  He is constantly on the move now!  Squirming out of his chair or crawling off the blanket!

He weighs around 23 pounds and is wearing 12 month clothes or 12-18m.  He doesn't wear shoes much because he constantly kicks them off and I lose them, but when he does they are a size 3 or 4 depending on how wide they are!

He has started crawling this month and is all over the place!  He is now pulling up on his knees and occasionally he has pulled all the way up to stand.  He loves opening and shutting doors, cabinets and drawers.  He has caught his finger a few times and is learning real quick to move them.  We have started making him throw his paci in his bed when he wakes up.  I would love to break him of the habit soon but if he only has it for naps and bedtime I'm ok with that.

He has 8 teeth and I'm pretty sure I see a molar trying to cut through.  He has started scrunching up his nose when he smiles and it's pretty much the cutest thing ever.  He got his second ear infection last week and is super congested!  He's a trooper though and stays in a good mood most of the time!  He is still the best sleeper ever!  We lay him down for bed at 8 and he will normally wake up around 9'ish the next morning!  He still likes to eat a little breakfast and go back to sleep for a little bit---what a rough life!  There have been several occasions that he sleeps until close to 11am.

He is drinking 4 or 5 bottles a day that are 6-8 ounces!  I always make 8 ounces and most of the time he finishes it!  He also gets 3 meals a day and will snack anytime it is offered to him!  We give him whatever we are having and he has loved everything so far.

I'm pretty sure he is the smartest baby ever!  He loves putting lids onto things and taking things out of containers and putting them back inside!  Today I caught him picking out a sock of the clean clothes pile and trying to put it on his foot!  We love this sweet boy so much!  I'm so distraught that I'm already planning his 1st birthday!

Madison's birthday party

Madison picked to have an ice cream birthday party!  It was fun planning an ice cream bar with all the toppings and sweets!

Madison's teacher came and surprised her!

I can't believe my baby is 4.  She is such a blessing and we love her so much!

The park and the gym

I don't know why it is so hard to blog lately!  It's not like we are doing crazy busy things everyday and I don't have time.  It just seems like there is always little stuff going on during the day and by the time I get the kids in bed I'm exhausted!  I joined a new gym and have been meeting some friends at 5:30 in the morning to do a class and that is kicking my rear!  I'm actually sitting at the gym waiting on a new class (new to me) to start at 8:30 and I'm so nervous!  I don't like feeling intimidated at the gym and out of my comfort zone!  I'm proud that I made myself come and try something new and by myself!  (Wish me luck)

We have had the nastiest, cold and rainy weather for the last several days!  We finally had a day that was warmer but still raining off and on!  I took the kids to a park that is mostly covered so they could run off some energy!

I love those little curls so much!!

We spent about 2 hours there and the kids had a great time!!  (I just finished the BARRE class and I really enjoyed it!  It felt good stepping outside my comfort zone)

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day.  I forgot to take a picture of the table all decorated for the girls for Valentine's Day.  I can't believe that. O-well.  They got lots of little sweets and trinkets and a few little stuffed animals.  I made them all shirts to wear for the day.  Kenzie loved hers.  Madison's looked the same and Bubba looked so handsome in his. 

 Madison had a Valentine's Day performance for the parents at school that morning.  It was very cute and she did a great job.

 She had her class party right after her performance so we stayed for a little while for that.  Autumn watched Landon for a little while so Scotty and I could go run some errands.  She sent me these cute pictures while we were gone.

This little boy is EVERYWHERE.  He is still obsessed with the bar stools but this time went underneath it and got "stuck".  He just couldn't figure out how to duck his head and get out.  He is so fast now when he crawls and I have to keep an eye on his at all times. 

Scotty surprised me with roses and a super sweet card.  He also told me to go get a new dress because we had dinner reservations at a nice steakhouse later that night.  I went into panic mode.  If the dress code doesn't include yoga pants or jeans, I normally don't go.  Luckily Autumn had a dress I could borrow.  My mom came over to watch the kids for us.  (She knew and didn't give me any warning about needing a dress either)  We went with another couple and had a great time.  It is nice to get dressed up and out of the house without kids every once in awhile.

Cupcakes and crawling

We went to hang out with Bebe one morning while Kenzie was at school.  We were practicing making cupcakes in ice cream cones for Madison's birthday party.

Madison is a little snuggle bunny.  She always crawls up in my lap and snuggles.  I love when Bubba is asleep or occupied and I can sit back and enjoy the snuggles.  Love her so much.

Bubba has crawling down now.  His leg is tucked in and he is getting fast.  We decided to hold off on therapy for now.  I think he was sticking his leg out like that because it was new and he hadn't had enough practice with it.  He gets around really good now and quick.  He is keeping us on our toes that's for sure.
