9-Months-Old!

At the beginning of this month, my little man turned 9-months-old. He weighed in at 24lbs 6.5oz. and is 29 in long! That's a whole 10 inches more than when he was born! I love  my little chunk and how big he is getting. It amazes me every day. The weather is finally cooling off around here, which is actually quite  nice. And I must say, I am enjoying dressing my little man in jeans and long sleeves. He has some cute clothes, if I do say so myself. :) 

We are so excited for his first Halloween coming up. He has already gotten his costume, he will be Mommy's Little Monster! I am so excited! I may be more excited than him... To get ready for the season, we have already visited a pumpkin patch, which was such a blast! Landon has also gotten his first real winter hat. I love it, even though it sometimes makes him look like a homeless man. 

My big man has decided that table food is WAYYY better than baby food (duhhh). So he has cut back on the amount of baby food he is eating, sometimes even refusing it because he doesn't like the taste very much anymore. These days, he is loving on some cut green beans, cut carrots, chicken salad (chopped really finely), and french fries! If there are french fries on your plate, and you're not sharing with him, he will let you know how unhappy he is! He holds on to the sides of his high chair and squeezes really tight and screams! It is quite cute, although I'm missing the days when we could eat our meals in peace without having to go by the "a bite for me, a bite for you" rule. He's also a big fan on rice and beef gravy, and is very intrigued by the Halloween candy. He loves the wrappers and just wants so badly to know about what is inside that everyone loves so much! Maybe one day baby boy... But not today!

September is gone already?!

Wow! This month has flown past me! Sorry for slacking on the posts. But, you know, being a mom, wifey (sort of), student, babysitter, and everything else really takes up a lot of my free time these days! 

Anyways. Our month has been a good one. School is going great for me. Keeping up and staying on top of things. I don't think I've gotten less than a B on anything at all so far, so that's a good thing! Nathan has been working a whole lot. And we've been trying to spend as much family time together as we can. Landon keeps on growing and growing. He will be 9-months on Monday, which is just so crazy for me to think about. But you can hear about that next week. I'll stop boring you with the little details and just get to the pictures from the month already. :)

 Our First Trip to the Zoo!

 First Official Injury...

Mommy and Daddy weren't paying good enough attention and left him sitting in a child sized chair on the deck. We were sitting on either side of him, but we both failed to watch or catch as he faceplanted and scraped him nose and forehead real good on the decking. Boy was he mad! I felt so sad for him!

 The day after, all scabbed up. But he was still a happy boy! He's my little trooper!

 Climbing and having a blast at Little Monkey Bizness for Hyland's Birthday

 He loves slides!

 The weather has been extra nice this month, so we've been spending a lot of our time outside and especially going to parks! It is such a blast now that he is big enough to actually laugh and smile and enjoy it!

 Hugs and Kisses from Cousin Lola! :)

 Bath Time! Look at those cute butts!

 Day Two at the park with Lola!

 He has been favoring his daddy lately. :)

 Sweet Hairs!

Poor Baby! They put him in Lola's butterfly shirt!
