Landen loves to look out the window. We call it his TV. Always a good nature show on.

2010-04-09T21:32:00.003-05:00

Landen is wearing a shirt that has Owen on it - The photo of Owen was taken when he was 1 yr old.

O Christmas Tree

2009-12-14T21:51:00.003-06:00

We got our Christmas tree on Friday and Landen helped decorate by putting his rocking horse ornament on the tree. He loves looking at the tree and pointing to all of the ornaments

Mi Casa Es Su Casa

2009-11-11T15:33:00.002-06:00

Ben created his little house for the boys and the boys and I decorated it. They enjoy bringing their toys in it and playing with the flashlight. We charge them $5/month for rent. Ha Ha. Sweet deal.

I'm ready to learn!

2009-11-11T15:31:00.001-06:00

This desk was Ben's when he was little. It sits in Owen's room, but Landen loves to sit in it.

November Warmth

Happy Halloween

2009-11-06T14:38:00.003-06:00

Landen is 14 months old. He was a gorilla for halloween. He rode around in the wagon while trick-or-treating. Owen shared his candy with him. He had a good time.

2009-10-22T20:48:00.003-05:00

Landen enjoying being outside before it gets too cold out. He loves to mow the driveway. He is growing up so fast. It is fun to see him learn new things every day. His favorite words are "what's dat?"

Landen's Favorite Sitting Spots

On the Move

2009-09-16T11:13:00.003-05:00

Landen is now a walking boy. Here he is roaming the yard at grandma Sally and papa Mark's house. At home, he walks from one end of the house to the other and is getting into everything. Trying to keep up with him is exhausting. He is saying a couple of words: what's that?, dada, go go, and then sometimes copy what you say. It's so fun to see him grow. He isn't a baby anymore and we are going to miss this stage of his.

Landen's 1 Year Birthday Party

2009-08-13T14:15:00.005-05:00

Landen is 1 yr old. That first year went by so fast! He had a great time at his birthday party. Family and friends came to celebrate with him. He loved eating his cake and enjoyed all of his gifts. It is a Korean tradition for their one year birthday to be dressed up in a Hanbok and to have items placed in front of them to choose their future path. Landen chose rice and thread which means wealth and a long happy life. He we so worn out from his party, but didn't want to nap, so he relaxed on the couch and watched TV.

Loving the Water

2009-08-13T14:10:00.003-05:00

For my niece's birthday, we celebrated at Lake George. Landen loved playing in the water. He crawled right in and started splashing away. The best part later was getting all the sand out of his "areas".

11 Months Old

2009-07-13T20:02:00.003-05:00

Landen is now 11 months old. I know I missed his 10 month photo, sorry. He is now crawling and getting into everything. He loves to crawl up the stairs. Landen also pulls himself up onto furniture and is starting to walk along the furniture.
He still thinks his older brother Owen is so funny. They are starting to play very well together. It is fun to see them interact with each other. Landen loves being outside and loves water - being in a pool, or at a beach or in his bath will keep him entertained for hours. He is growing up so fast and we can't believe that he'll be 1 year in a month.

First Boat Ride

2009-06-09T18:31:00.003-05:00

For Ben's birthday and a little vacation, we rented a cabin up north with some friends. Landen enjoyed his first boat ride - he thought it was quite funny.

Relaxing with Dad at the cabin.

Landen is 9 months and had his first hair cut. He weighs 20lbs 12 oz and is 29 inches tall. He is very close to crawling and tries to pull himself up onto furniture. His newest trick is "so big" and he puts his hands up in the air.

2009-04-24T21:06:00.004-05:00

Landen enjoying being outside. He loves it! He has figured out how to pull the blanket towards himself and then he tries to eat the grass. Landen is such a joy and a funny kid. He loves to clap for everything and he waves to himself. He now likes eating pancakes, cheese, meat, and anything sweet.

8 Months Old

2009-04-14T14:43:00.004-05:00

Landen's first Easter. He got wonderful gifts from both grandparents. Next year he will be able to join in the Easter egg hunt. Landen has three teeth - two on the bottom and one on top. He has mastered the skill of picking up and feeding himself cherrios and goldfish crackers with his pincher fingers. He weighs about 21 lbs. His new trick is smiling with a wrinkled up nose. He is not crawling yet - when we put him on his stomach - he rolls right away onto his back. But soon, he'll get it if he ever wants to reach all those toys that he throws away from himself.

Is Spring Here?

2009-04-14T14:37:00.003-05:00

Landen's first time enjoying Spring. Pretty soon he will be crawling and exploring the wonderful world of the outdoors.

Landen is sitting on his own and rolling from his stomach to his back. He likes to clap and say "da da". He can drink from a sippy cup on his own. Landen enjoys playing with his toys. Right now his favorite toys are his stackable cups. He still thinks his brother Owen is funny. We know he'll enjoy this summer. He likes being out and about.

2009-02-20T20:11:00.002-06:00

Owen and Landen are good buddies. Landen loves to watch Owen play and will smile and laugh at him. There is one book that Owen will read to Landen. It is very cute to watch them together.

6 Months Old

2009-02-20T20:01:00.003-06:00

Landen is now 6 months old (2/12/09). He weighs 19 lbs 7 oz and is 27 1/4inches tall. He has his 2 bottom teeth. He is eating sweet potatoes, peas, bananas, and applesauce. He also likes those "puffs" that are good for little ones to eat. He is sitting up on his own (still with a pillow behind him). It is fun to see him sit and play with his toys. Landen rolled over from his belly to his back, but only did it once. He started to shake his head "no". It is really funny to watch. He is growing up so fast. He is a funny little boy and we are enjoying him at this age.

5 MONTHS OLD

2009-01-13T10:46:00.005-06:00

Landen is 5 months old (1/12/09). Here he is in his johhny jump up which he loves. Good excercise for his chubby legs. He is grabbing at toys and is able to sit up with a little help. Landen is starting to get his first bottom tooth. He is eating sweet potatoes with his rice cereal. He loves his big brother. He will just laugh and smile at him without Owen even really doing anything to provoke the laughs. Landen is growing up so fast. We want to remember these times when he is still little.

World's Cutest Baby

2008-12-27T10:58:00.004-06:00

Playing and watching TV is hard work

2008-12-25T13:10:00.005-06:00

4 Months Old

2008-12-12T13:33:00.005-06:00

Landen had his 4 month check up on Wednesday 12/10/08. He weighs 17lbs 7 oz and is 26 inches tall. He is making those raspberry sounds and notices his hands. Landen still likes to smile and talk to anyone who will give him attention. I fed him rice cereal for the first time today. He would spit some out, eat some, spit out, eat some. He watches us eat so we know he is ready for food.

2008-12-02T14:17:00.004-06:00

"Mmmmm... Turkey Dinner. I think I'm going to like this thing called Thanksgiving."

2008-11-24T16:28:00.003-06:00

Landen worn out from a day of eating, pooping, playing, and assisting Jack Bauer in saving the country.

2008-11-24T16:21:00.006-06:00

Landen got an early Christmas present from grandma and grandpa Gibson. He was ready to use it. He loves to stand, so this helps. It also helps my arms from breaking and keeps him entertained. He is growing up so fast. He will be rolling around and crawling before we know it.

2008-11-24T16:15:00.005-06:00

We borrowed this Bombo from my friend Tona. Landen loves to sit in it. He got to join us at the table for dinner. Pretty soon he will be able to be eating at the table with us. I think he will be ready for cereal at 4 months old.

2008-11-24T16:11:00.003-06:00

Here Landen is hanging out in his track suit. Ben said he looks like a Russian gymnast. This outfit Owen wore when he was 6 months old and this barely fits Landen.

Landen is 3 Months Old

2008-11-13T13:57:00.006-06:00

Landen is 3 months old (11/12/08) and weighs 16 lbs 9 oz. He is already starting to grow out of his 3-6 months clothes. He is an amazing little boy. He loves to smile and talk. Lately, Ben has been able to get him to laugh. Sometimes he laughs in his sleep. It sounds like a little chuckle. Landen is a blessing. We are so thankful that he is a good baby. He is getting more interested in watching Owen play with his cars and toys. He also likes to watch Ozzie and James run around.
Time has already gone by so fast. I hope to remember the way he sounds when he talks to you or the little sounds he makes when he is tired or hungry and to remember the way his laugh sounds when he is chuckling in his sleep after a feeding. My favorite look he gives is when he wrinkles up his forehead while he is looking around and the way his lower lip bulges out just before he is about to cry. We haven't been able to capture those looks yet, but hope to soon.

2008-11-02T12:09:00.006-06:00

Landen's 1st Halloween. Aren't I cute as a frog? I got his costume at Once Upon a Child. It is a size 3-6 month and he barely fit into it. Even though he didn't go trick-or-treating, he stilled needed a costume to wear for his first Halloween.

2008-10-20T14:27:00.001-05:00

Here I am cuddled up with my auntie Jenn Strand. She was visiting me from California.

2008-10-20T14:25:00.000-05:00

Here I am with my friend Violet and her mommy, Tona.

2008-10-02T19:25:00.004-05:00

Aren't I a cute little boy? I love to smile!

2008-10-02T19:16:00.003-05:00

Owen and Landen hanging out on the floor. They are good buddies. Owen is a very sweet older brother. He likes to talk to Landen and bring him toys. He is always asking to hold him. I know they will be good friends when they are older.

2008-10-02T19:10:00.003-05:00

Landen's "first" bath - not really though. We video-taped his first bath and forgot to take a picture, so I am calling this picture his first bath.

2008-09-02T20:23:00.005-05:00

Welcome to Landen's website. I will try and keep up with photos and share fun information about him.

I'm not a very good writer, so I won't be writing a lot. Landen is a very good baby. He is a good eater and sleeper. He likes to smile and has even laughed a couple of times. He is a cuddley baby. I love snuggling with him.
