Funny thing about Landon: No matter how many toys he’s surrounded with, he’d always rather play with something that isn’t meant to be a toy. Here he is this past Thursday pulling out each and every Kleenex in the box, one at a time. A few more photos of this can be seen in the October photo album.

Landon’s top teeth are starting to come in, as you can see in the photo above. He’s getting four new ones all at once. More photos can be found in the October photo album.

Landon weighed in at 19 pounds today. For reference, here he is at 18 pounds, 17 pounds, 16 pounds, 15 pounds and 14 pounds. He’s starting to eat more of what we eat so we can all have family dinners together at the same time. Just one more pound until he’s ready for a new, larger, front-facing car seat. He’s getting pretty big for the one he’s in now, which is supposed to last until 22 pounds. Click the photo below to see a larger version.

Since Landon loves getting comments on his blog and since we already have 5 comments from yesterday’s post, we thought we’d reward his fans with a second posting this weekend. Here is a 21 second movie of Landon cracking up after his lunch today. Landon thinks sneezes are the funniest thing in the world. For reference, here is his last laughing movie from back when he was 4 months old.
Last Sunday Landon decided it would be fun to chase the a rug in our kitchen. The rug was pretty fast but Landon eventually caught it. See for yourself in the 56 second movie above.
Landon had a lot of visitors in town this weekend. Grandparents in from the east coast. Aunts and Uncles from nearby San Francisco. Here is a 3 minute and 15 second movie showing some of the highlights from the weekend.
Landon is 9 months old today (8 months gestational age). He’s experiencing new “firsts” nearly every day it seems. Today we gave him whole chunks of organic banana for the first time. This week at day care Landon’s teacher told us he got in his first “fight,” pushing another little boy down in retaliation after being pushed first. Are we bad parents if the thought of 9 month olds fighting makes us laugh? Another recent first is that Landon can now pull himself up to a standing position and play standing up for long periods of time. We made the movie above this morning showing Landon standing and playing with his musical table, one of his favorite toys at the moment.
Landon weighed in at 18 pounds today. For reference, here he is at 17 pounds, 16 pounds, 15 pounds and 14 pounds. He’s been eating very well lately. He used to eat half a jar of baby food plus some cereal for dinner and this past week he’s been easily finishing two full jars plus cereal. Click the photo above to see a larger version.

Landon learned to crawl today. The clip above shows his first couple of tries but within just a few minutes after these were taken he became a pro, crawling all over the place. I guess it’s time to get serious about baby-proofing the house.
