One could wonder when do we really master the English language - there are so many words to learn, verbs to conjugate, pronouns to figure out (ie. when to use he vs. him, I vs. me, or your own name vs. you). Don't make the same mistake that we made: Looking through pictures we would say to Landon, "Here is Uncle Erik, Josh, Hayden..., and this is you"....Landon thinks that his name is "you".
Landon is also trying to get the negatives down, he will state something and then will add a "not" at the end. Yesterday morning he said "Cold outside....not". And then he looked at me and smiled. If only life was that simple.

Mockingbird
I am realizing that I have a mockingbird in my house...not a real mockingbird from the Galapagos but my very own son. Landon is talking constantly now and is saying things that surprise me every day...
He was watching cartoons yesterday and I told him that I was going to turn it off and he said "two minutes...two minutes mommy" (already trying the bargaining tactic). I was wondering where he got that from when I heard myself tell him that we were leaving to go the store in two minutes....
I was shopping with Landon a few weeks ago and I was looking at the baby clothes and Landon was walking with me touching every item on the rack and saying "cute...cute..." Never realized that I did that unless that one came from Andy... :)
The other thing he likes to say is "thank you much". Again didn't realize I always follow up thank you with thank you very much. At least the child has manners :)

From one to two
It has been quite a while since my last post - a year and 3 months to be exact and I thought it was time to catch everyone up on our latest happenings. For starters, Chase Andrew was born in April of this year and we have been spending the last 6 months readjusting and getting to know baby Chase. He is finally in a more consistent happy mode (we had many issues with formula) and is so much more interactive - Landon is having so much fun with him.
In fact, we pulled out the saucer (the one where you can sit baby in it and he can spin around and play with all of the toys). We brought it back out and Chase was in there chewing on the teether and spinning the wheels, etc. Landon (just yesterday) decided that he would pull Chase around the house by the teething attachment and just as I was about to scold him, I look at Chase's face and he is smiling and laughing. I realized that Chase wants someone to play with almost as badly as Landon!
