My sweet baby turned 15 months old on Monday!  And he is quite the little man nowadays.  When you ask him how old he is he sticks up one chubby little finger and grins from ear to ear because he knows he's going to be praised for his answer!  Just this morning, as I was leaving him at my grandmother's so that I could finish getting us ready to fly out tomorrow I blew him a kiss and for the first time, he blew one back!  I melted.  He still isn't a full blown walker but he has upped his record from 3 steps to 7!  He now has 10 teeth and 2 more breaking through.  His molars are almost fully in.  His favorite game is when he looks at Josh and says "mama" and Josh tickles him and says "no dada".  Or he says "dada" to me or sometimes "bubba".  I think "bubba" is his only new word since 14 months.  Landen loves to make car noises as he rolls them around on the floor.  He loves to sit beside us and watch TV but wants to hold your hand while he does...it's the sweetest thing!  Baby food is pretty much a thing of the past.  He loves table food and will only eat the baby food fruit once in a while.  He is wearing a size 6 diaper now!  And we are buying a shoe size 4 and a half to 5 wide and 2t-3t clothes.  I kid you not, I put a 3t outfit on him last week when it was really warm and it fit!  We go to the pediatrician for his 15 month check-up the Monday after we get back from California and I will give you height and weight stats then.  All in all, Landen is a ham.....but we love him so!

Oh and I forgot to add that he LOVES McDonald's sweet tea!!!  I know, I know, it isn't a good thing because it has a TON of sugar in it but he would drink the entire thing if I would let him!  When I put the cup in the cup holder he starts fussing and by the time we get home he is screaming for it.  Once I get him inside and put the straw in it he gulps it down like it's the best thing he has EVER had......

Ethan brought home his report card this week and once again he is doing wonderful in school!  He loves to read and now reads book all by himself.  He had baseball practice on Tuesday and as soon as he got up to bat it started pouring down rain...but he wasn't disappointed at all because his buddy, Roddick, got to sit in our truck until his dad got there and that was "awesome"!  Ethan has been telling everyone about what all he's going to do while he is in San Diego, so I am praying that it lives up to his expectations.  I've never been to Sea World but Josh said that he loved it as a kid and he is thrilled to take the boys there.  Ethan is quite the little entertainer....Tuesday after practice he went into Pizza Hut to pick up his Book It personal pan and when he came back out I could see the workers and customers all cracking up!
