Landon and Bella are 2 1/2 today!

This morning Landon woke up promptly at seven (he is and has always been our alarm) and said "Mama I am TWO AND A HALF today! Yay!!!!" Our little guy is growing up way too fast. He continually amazes us with his sweet heart, loving disposition, kind nature, wonderful hugs, silly sayings and smiles, and more. He still has an ear for music like we cannot even believe. He can keep the beat of any song he hears (or even nosies) and he is fascinated by all types of music. He especially loves going to Gruene Hall and dancing to the live music there and singing to Mama's radio in the car. He is very fast and loves to go on walks with us and run all around the house and the park with his friends. He is more social than either of us (hard to believe:) and has tons of sweet friends through church, kindermoms, and just random kids he meets when we are out and about. He waves at strangers constantly and says "Hi friend how are you?!" Today we went out to lunch with Karly and Bella for their birthdays. Landon stopped in the middle of lunch and ran up to give me a huge hug. He said "I am Mama's boy" and proceeded to 'fix my hair' and give me a thousand kisses. I cherish every second with my little boy! He has also gotten much more involved with Nolan...he loves to hold him (held him ALL by himself this week and did great:) and always looks out for his brother by giving him the paci, holding his hand and 'praying' with him in the car on long trips, and just always wanting to be close to him and snuggle him. It is the best. He is such an awesome big bro. He is getting close to being potty trained (still a ways to go but very interested in it and making huge strides). His favorite thing is going to church and he memorizes the bible verses he learns during my bible study and Sunday school classes during the week. It is so cute to hear him recite them randomly and apply them to everyday situations. He is such a joy. Another really special thing about Landon at two and a half is how much he cherishes time with his Daddy. Since James has been working super hard (long hours) Landon is sooo excited when Dad can hang out with him so he really makes sure to make it special. I love seeing those guys playing guitar and practicing baseball on his little tikes t-ball stand (he hits the ball and runs the imaginary bases and at the end says home wunnnn and Daddy throws him up in the air to celebrate:). We cannot even believe Landon is already 2 1/2 and are so excited to continue to watch him grow and help him thrive. Photos of the past month to come!
