My dad, the kid's Gran Gran, is having open heart surgery on Monday morning to replace an infected artificial valve had put in almost 7 years ago. I'm a mess, I am VERY close to my dad and a huge daddy's girl, and I really just need him to be strong and stick this out. I know it's tough, and watching him go through it tears me apart. I'd give anything in the world to make him better and healthy.
Anyhow, please just think of us Monday as he will be in a risky surgery all day and then weeks/months of recover afterwards. Any prayers are greatly appreciated, as we need tons.
Warning: TONS of pics!
We finally broke down and took the boys to the park to me. SILLY ME thought I could get some pics of them--they had different ideas. Landon was fussy when we first got there--didnt like the swing, didnt like the slide, didnt like the bouncy animals.
He got over it when we let him explore! Oh he also ended up LOVING the bouncy animals--time to drag out his New in the box bounce and spin pony!
Andrew WAS NOT having any part of looking at the camera when I asked him to--big surprise!
So most of these pics are Landon
The one LONE pic of him having fun on the swing
Daddy? What IS this? What do I do?
OOOOOH! Andrew showed me how!
OK lets try this---do I love this one?
Or do I love this one?
This one!
This one is fun too!
OK I'm going to go steal food from these people (and no kidding there were cherios in the stroller he was after!)
Got the shoes off--NO SHOES MOM!
HAI!
Throwing those gumball things from the tree w/ Daddy
Here mama I shares with you!
LOL Andrew is bored but Landon's face screams DANGER DANGER! ROFL

Back talking--are you a victim?
I sure am--I'm thinking of calling the mommy abuse hotline today! Man Andrew is on a roll. I cant tell you how many times I've been told i need a spanking today for taking things away from him. Pretty soon he'll have nothing left and I"ll have to make him go naked (no wait he'd like that!) I'm fed up with his tude lately! I know he's bored and we should prob go out and enjoy the nice weather today though, so it's partly my fault :(
Landon has been cracking me up lately (dont worry he drives me nuts too) He loves this hot wheels mountain I bought for Andrew, he's constantly digging through the toy bins for cars to run over and put them on the mountain. Who knew he'd love it so much! It's totally cute though. Then when the car falls off the edge of the mountain he goes "OOPS!" and picks it up!
He's a walking fool now too, barely crawls anymore at all. Which makes me sad :( I miss having a little baby.
I did sew some this weekend YAY--made a diaper. This is my best one so far, I'm getting better. It works about 10000x's better than ones I pay $30 for so I dunno what i was smoking!
Trying to get Andrew to play cars with him:
In other bright news, I found the boys easter outfits! YAY!! This will be what they are wearing:
With Landon wearing
I'd like to find a white polo onsie though, we'll see!

I refuse to say...
"my child doesn't do that" anymore! AS SOON as it escapes my mouth they do it!
Only I guess I can say good things like "My child doesnt listen" and then maybe they will start listening? I guess it doesnt work that way!
JUST YESTERDAY I was talking to my friend Cassi about how my children dont climb things. Andrew never really did it at all, even when I encouraged it. Heck he was in his crib till he was like 27 mo old w/o climbing out!
And Landon well I think he's just too chubby to get over things so he doesnt (DIDNT) climb until the words escaped my mouth.
TODAY the kid gets up on this little plastic step 2 chair we have and STANDS UP ON IT! Talk about a heart attack. I take it out of the room and he cries (drama drama) and then we come home later in the day after we went out and he finds that darn thing in the kitchen and there he goes again! He also has been riding the plasma car we have--I will have to get this on video. I used to let him sit in my lap and hold the wheel while I drove it, and now he gets on it and twists the wheel to drive it! It's pretty funny! He was trying to STAND on that thing today too.
I am terrified he's going to try his crib next because he watches his brother climb in and out of it in the mornings. Oh no save me now!
In other new, my good friend Rachael is having her baby girl as we speak so GOOD LUCK RACH!! I made her some customs that took me forever to get to her b/c that's how i roll with the customs! Here are some pics of them! She also got 2 tops and a bib out of me too! :)
I dont know why, Landon looks so old in this pic to me! And look at that insane hair! The only bad thing about his hair is that it's so long you have to comb/style it. I cant bear to cut it though, it's so pretty!
Landon also learned how to drink out of a straw. It's so funny, Andrew took FOREVER to learn but Landon got it right down! He loves this organic milk stuff I buy Andrew. And Andrew shares it with him! SO adorable :)
Only 7 more days till Twilight is out of video!! YAY! :)

My baby's first sickness
Well Landon didnt get better, and I'm tired of his awful coughing, so we put him on his first time on antibiotics :( I hope it clears him up fast, I'm so tired of him being runny nosed an coughing and well he's pretty fussy compared to how Andrew was anyhow but I'm tired of that too! Can i please get some medicine for that! haha
But other than being sick he's been walking a lot more--not so much talking anymore, like he quit or something. He learned the magical word THIS and how to point so like his brother he no longer has to say words, just point. Now I"m pretty sure he just grunts and points. Great LOL And even if I refuse to get it he will cry and Andrew will get it for him.
Here's a bunch of videos for you to watch!
Here he's walking, a lot now. Which I'm glad b/c I was tired of him crawling honestly. Though he is into WAY WAY more things now it seems, even than when he pulled up. Well he's generally into way more than Andrew ever was anyhow: EXCUSE MY MESSY LIVING ROOM! I give up on cleaning up toys as you can tell

Here he is waving bye bye--which he just started out of nowhere. I think it's super cute.

Andrew and Landon jumping in his bed--this is a morning ritual now. Andrew usually tackles him, and Landon LAUGHS so hard. I tried to refrain from getting that on camera though. He was kind of fussy this was a few days ago and he was sick. Poor baby! Usually it's a laugh fest. I will have to get a video of it again when he feels better.

This is one of L's fav toys from his b-day party! He loves this one, his CD player and his mailbox the most!! He could play with them for hrs!
