Landon 9 AND 10 months

Landon will be 10 months old this Thursday! We had a couple of doctor appointments around his 9 month birthday. His stats at 9 months were 18 lbs, 14 oz. and 29 inches. That puts him in the 24th percentile for weight and 76th percentile for height. He is moving along quite well! We also saw his cardiologist at the end of September and he is so happy with Landon's progress that we don't have to go back until April. That will be 1 year post-op from his second surgery and they will attempt to do a full exam that will include an echo and an ekg, as long as Landon will cooperate for them.

Landon has been hitting some major milestones lately. He crawls on his hands and knees now and pulls himself up to standing. He has four teeth about to drop on the top. He is handling it very well. He has gotten the small rash on his face from it and drools a lot and chews on everything. So, I feel like any day now he'll have six teeth instead of two.

On Thursday night, Nick and Landon came home shortly after I did. Nick set Landon down and I hear, "Mamamamama"!! It was the greatest thing I have ever heard! I'm pretty sure he hasn't made the connection yet of what it means, but I'm trying to teach him.

He continues to make everyone he meets happy. He has such a great personality and smiles at almost everyone he sees. It's incredible! He has this ability to draw people in that I'm sure will continue throughout his life.

We have done a lot of fun things this fall! We went to The Apple Hut in Beloit and picked apples, we made an attempt at Eugster's in Stoughton that didn't turn out well except that we got pumpkins, we went to the MVFF Pancake Breakfast, and made a trip to Chicago for the unveiling of the world's largest camera that Nick was part of building. I am loving making memories with Landon! You never know what tomorrow will bring, and even though he won't remember these things, I think it's very important to spend the time with him and document it. Really looking forward to the rest of the fall to continue with our fun!

No Landon in this picture, but here is the camera that Nick helped build. Landon was there for this event. The man in the black shirt is the photographer who dreamt up this incredible beast! 9-17-13

10 months old! I had to get this skeleton outfit because it has the heart on it. I thought it was very suitable for Landon! 10-14-13
