I keep needing to post and then I get busy!
We are gearing up here for Landon's first birthday :( I cant even believe he's going to be 1! I dont want to think about it!
Anyhow, the theme is barnyard animals :) And I had some pants knit for him before I started knitting, they are coming this week! And I am making him a matching top and 1st b-day banner!
On top of that I'm
Knitting socks
Knitting some longies
making a pillow for Cassi's son (this is almost done)
making a custom tee
knitting another headband because I'm in LOVE with mine
Think I'm an ADD crafter? Yeah I am LOL
Here's my crafts I finished this month!
My longies finally finished
A sneaky peek for Cassi--the shorts still need a drawsting!
Andrew is learning to draw people and things--it's totally cute! He plays with his magnadoodle A LOT these days!
Here's some pics of his drawings!
this was "dinosaur"
A car--I can totally see it
and a monster
I'm so impressed with how well he does the eyes! And he can now draw the letters L, C, A and O! I am working on him trying to do his name so maybe that will be soon! He's also starting to "read"--mainly he memorizes things that I read to him I think but hey, it's a step! I think I will get hooked on phonics to work with him on.
We signed up for next year's preschool class! I'm super excited, they do a ton of "sit down" work next year and it's more like school than his 2 yr old class (even though he's 3) is this year! They also asked me if I wanted to work there--L would be 18 mo and go to school there too but I'm just not sure! We kind of wanted to have another baby so I guess I will see where we are with that! It's probably a great opportunity for both boys, and I love that i'd be RIGHT there all day--I know I'm a hovering parent LOL
Here's Landon pimpin the computer and cell phone like mommy!
Posting to a message board I'm sure "that biatch said WHAT about my mama!?!" (he's all about the drama)
He's saying more words---he now says:
Dada
Mama (his recent fav again!)
baba (which I thought was mama but apparently not he says both now--I think it's bottle--which officially was tubby's first word then LOL)
get me
tractor
Apollo
bye bye
my daddy
cat (I have NO idea, but I did read him a cat book once)
And he walks across the living room occasionally---I cant believe he's taking so long to full on walk, he's driving me insane! He's been standing on his own and taking steps since like 9 mo old now! He just doesnt pick up his feet, he's getting better daily though!

LOL at Landon and the laptop!!! That is too cute and funny. And that is completely how kids begin reading - mostly by memorizing repeatable books that they "know." So that is a good step!! Also, they will pick out signs and start to "read" them (such as McDonalds, Target, cereal boxes, etc..)This is called environmental print and is a great way to start teaching letters and sounds. :)
