Yay! Cuteness!!!

Hello everyone! It's been too long again!! What have we been up to? I decided I really wanted to decorate for Halloween this year. Not sure why I never acquired any Halloween stuff before, but now we have some! I'm not really into the scary stuff, so it's just fun, happy jack-o-lanterns and window clings, and a fun witch splatted on the front door and orange and purple lights outside. And some fun things hanging on the outside walls. Actually, everything I just mentioned is for the outside. I got some pumpkin spice candles and holiday air fresheners, and Mulled Cider reed diffusers to make the inside all Fall-ish and festive. I do love air fresheners. Landis is going to be a dinosaur for Halloween!!! I'm so excited that he started walking in time to be GOOD at it by the time Trick or Treating came around. I was a little concerned he may not be able to get around very well in a costume either, but he is a pro!! We went to the store to check out some costumes, and tried him in 3 different ones. When we got to the Dino, he walked down the aisle with his arms out in the air, going "dah, dah, dah, dah, dah!!" Brandon has been talking about it ever since, so we went back and got the Dino costume. We are going to let him run around in it a few more times before halloween so he gets a little more used to it (although he really does just fine), but still. It's so cute!!!

No new news on re-enlistment/getting out. Still waiting around on his flight physical to be all completed by the clinic. Brandon has his check-up on his wrist sometimes next week. Hopefully at this appointment they will finalize whether or not he will need surgery to repair his torn ligaments. Iw ill definitely post the update on that.

Oh yes!! Landis had his weight check. In 5 weeks, he went from 17 lbs 14 oz, to 19 lbs 3 ozs. And I did NOT give him Pediasure. I don't think Pediasure is evil, or disgusting, or bad for him necessarily. I just had a plan! He wasn't underweight according to his height, and he didn't look like he was really lacking anything. But anyway, I went on like I had intended to and he was fine. The doctor didn't really seem like she remembered that she had suggested to give him Pediasure anyway. She just looked at his weight and asked what I had done. So I told her. We are probably going to get him a new carseat in the next month or so. I think by the time we get one, he will have reached the 20 lb mark. I think he'll have fun if he's facing forward and can see! I've posted comparison pictures from when he was a newborn in the seat to just a week ago.

Okay, go enjoy some pictures!

Hello Grover :o)

You want to snuggle, too? (he's a very good sharer!)

Telling jokes to Grover! What a hoot!!!

Mommy said is was time to quiet down for the evening, and to not stand on the couch.

Big bites of Banana!

Banana Face = Love

This is me at 2 1/2 weeks old... I barely fit in my carseat.

And this is me at 13 months :o) I still barely fit in my carseat! But for different reasons.

Hey... there's a little girl on the back of this box!

So bouncy!

Here Mommy... you try! (If he was a girl, I'd totally frame this picture. Maybe we can photoshop Lilly in here!))

I think vacuuming is fun, so I helped!

MOMMY! I'M NAKED!!!! (Actually he was mad because he couldn't fit the tip of the thermometer through the itty bitty holes in the bottom on the case.)

This is me getting super smart :o)

Carrots? Seriously? (His face is hilarious, but he really does eat them up!)

This is what Landis did when I told him to smile! I didn't know he'd actually really do something!

The only thing this picture is missing is some baby plumber's crack.

He was testing the durability of the dishwasher door. Open, closed, open, closed, open, closed, open, closed.
