Lightning McQueen

Landon can now walk up and down stairs by himself without holding onto anything. You can see him here walking down, which seems to be a little bit harder than going up. He’s also been singing “I Love Cars, E I E I O” a lot this week so we got some footage of that. We also finally took Lightning McQeen out for a spin today. Previously he had lived inside the house. At the end of this video you can see Landon and his Mommy practicing yoga.

Wave Pool

They finally opened the wave pool for the summer at Great America. Yeah! Also a little bit of video running around at the park.

26 Pounds

We weighed Landon for the first time in four months yesterday. Based on how much taller he’s gotten and the fact that he seems less skinny these days, we were expecting him to weigh in at around 30 pounds, but he was only 26 pounds, 7 and a half ounces. For comparison, here is is at 25, 24, 23 pounds, 22 pounds, 21 pounds, 20 pounds, 19 pounds, 18 pounds, 17 pounds, 16 pounds, 15 pounds and 14 pounds

Bouncing

Here is some video from this weekend. Landon tried on sunglasses, visited a street fair complete with a bouncy house and cars, and played with his own cars at home.

Dancing Dinosaurs

This video spans a couple of weeks. Last weekend Landon’s Grandma came to visit and they had a great time dancing and going to Great America. This weekend Landon went to Addy’s second birthday party, had a visit from his Uncle Kevin, and then went to see his other Grandmother for Mother’s day, where he got to play with Uncle Bobby’s dogs and his cousins.

Riding All Alone

Landon has been apprehensive about riding amusement park rides in the past, so when we put him in the car shown in this video all alone today, we weren’t sure how it would turn out, but he rode his first ride all alone and didn’t even look worried. Also shown here is some bubble blowing and iPad playing. Not pictured but worth mentioning is that Landon is a parrot these days. That is to say that anything you say to him, he will repeat back to you.
