Big steps, little boy

Landon is now 7 and a half months old. He is about 17lbs and 27 in long. He is growing and happy. He absolutely loves food and playing. A few days before he turned 7 months he started crawling. The first video was him learning to crawl. Within a couple of days he had mastered it! Right at 7 months. The second video is his mastered crawl! Also at the same time he started to pull himself up. He is still a little shaky on holding himself up. To say the least he has hit his head several times. I hope there are no long term effects of him hitting his head! Anyways he has become very independent, but occasionally he cuddles and that makes it all worth it! He is so fun to have around even if I am constantly chasing him. He is very active and shows no signs of slowing down! Just the other day I thought he had followed me into my bedroom but when I turned around there was no sign of him. I finally found him on the other side of the house(which wasn't hard cause our house isn't very big!) he was looking up at me and smiling. It was almost like he was playing hide and seek! He is changing so fast and I am loving every minute!

Cool!

It is obvious that Landon has the coolest Dad ever. We went to Lake Winnie today. We had lots of fun. We want to take Landon back in about a year so he will be able to ride some of the rides! Landon really was a good sport even though he spent most of the day in the stroller!
Our sweet little boy!

Fun and games!

I thought Landon looked so cute in his hat!
Aunt Jamie came for a visit when Griffin was born and all the kids loved her! We played at the park and just had a blast!
Grandma loves all the babies! Landon especially loved to meet his cute cousin Brennley, Aunt Shala and Uncle Pat. We hope they get to come back soon!
Landon loves to be outside. So when my allergies aren't so bad we go on walks as often as we can!
Oh here is another picture at the park.

Easter

Happy Easter!! Here is our first family Easter. Landon was not so excited about wearing purple. Well I guess Chris and I weren't so excited about purple but I think he looks pretty darn cute (compliments to Nina)! We had a great day. Church was great. Chris spoke in Sacrament and it was the sweetest talk ever. Landon and I feel very lucky to have a great man in our lives!
Here are the Forrester 5 (soon to be 6).

Jordan, Preston, Katelyn, Elise, and Landon.

They dyed eggs and we had an egg hunt. Landon lost. He only found one egg. That's okay though because next year he will blow them all out of the water!

Here are a few pictures from our visit to Chicago. Here is Aunt Jamie changing Landon's clothes. She is very excited to eventually have her own baby, but she got lots of practice this weekend. For instances, she learned it is kind of hard to remove a onesie. I guess she felt that pulling it over his head was too difficult so she found another way! She must not be too ready for a baby because she would not even change his poopy diaper for me! Landon just loved being with Aunt Jamie and Uncle Reed. Reed just loved on Landon, it was the cutest I have ever seen him(Reed)!
Landon was playing in the floor and wrapped himself up in the blanket. This shot was too cute to resist! He has been rolling all over the floor. He is very active and I am not sure what we will do when he crawls. I am sure he will be into everything!

Landon decided to stop and think for a minute!

Landon 4 months

Landon is growing so fast. On Friday we had his 4 month check up. He is 15 lbs and 25 in long. The doc said we could now start rice cereal and baby food. Landon was very happy through the visit until shot time. He cried everytime he got a shot and stopped as soon as we picked him up. He did tons better this time. Landon is a pretty content baby. He is just like his daddy which I am so grateful for. He likes to drool lots and lately he has enjoyed spitting up! The doc seems to think that the cereal will help that. I surely hope so because by the end of the week I am out of bibs! Everyday is such a blessing to have this sweet little spirit in our home. Chris and I love being parents and Landon has made it an enjoyable experience!
Aunt Jamie (aka Looch) gave Landon this cute little outfit. Landon sure misses aunt Jamie and uncle Reed. We pray everyday that they can move here!!
I was trying to get a bum shot, but Landon insisted on flipping over!

Daddy created me this awesome Captain's chair. He was so proud and I enjoyed sitting in it!

Busy Landon!

This is Landon's first attempt in the Johnny Jumper. He was unsure at first, but now he loves it. He just spins around and looks at everything. By the time I get him out he is pretty wet with drool!
Chris snuggles with Landon every chance he gets. We both love these moments cause most of the time Landon is too busy to snuggle!
Grandpa's right hand man. I saw this outfit and I knew both Grandpas would love it and boy was I right!
I love this one!
Landon loves his bouncey seat. However lately he prefers laying on his back cause he can move freely. He flips over from tummy to back and as of 2 minutes ago back to front!

Holiday Pictures

I was not trying to pose Landon for a picture, but I thought he looked awfully cute and we could not resist snapping this shot!
This is my Christmas outfit that Auntie Jenn bought me!
Landon did great with Santa. Who knows how it will go next year! This is us at the Miller's Christmas party. Landon seems to pretty much love anybody who will hold and talk to him. It makes it nice for me cause I get a break!
Here is Landon and his Nina. I still do not see much of my family in Landon, but he still has time to grow into that!
Two peas in a pod! This is how Chris and Landon felt about our Christmas Eve festivities! I will admit I was pretty exhausted myself after all was said and done.
Christmas Morning brought lots of surprises. Here is Landon opening his presents.
Poppa really spoiled me this year! I got a tool set and a fishing pole! Daddy was very jealous, but excited that I shared with him.
I ready to be a big boy and mommy is not a fan of that!
