babysitting, Eureka Springs.....walking?

Well here it is already October....the 9th...I can't believe it. I know I say that on every post, but it really is amazing to me how fast the days go by. Over the last couple of weeks we have had some fun times. We got babysitt sweet Miss Emory. Landon was so excited he didn't want to take a nap that morning. He would go get toys and put them on the blanket for her, it was really cute. He also liked to pat her on her head...why...not sure, but he was obsessed with it. Here are some pics from that morning:

He is showing Miss Emory how push it down to make noise.

Here is Landon in his pj's...I just love him in his pj's...I mean look how cute he looks.

And 'yes' he still loves the box. Llon usually pushes him around in it and just cracks up.

This one is for great grandpa Mac. Grandpa Mac loves this muffin mix, he would often buy it for me when I was at college. Well they quit selling it in Oklahoma and we have been without it for a few years now. Landon and I were at the grocery store here in KS and as you can guess we found the muffin mix. So we bought 15 boxes...that's all they had on the shelf...we gave 12 boxes to great grandpa Mac and kept 3. Landon is a big fan of them...he takes a bit and says 'mmmmm'. So Grandpa Mac this pic is for you.

We went to Eureka Springs for a wedding one weekend. My camera died before I got a family pic.

Landon was surprised by a present from mimi (grandma Kari) and pa (grandpa Ron). He got a pirate tent in the mail the other day. It's a tent that just pops up. When I was opening it and it popped up Landon goes 'wow'. He immediately crawled inside. Soon after he moved some toys in there to play.

This is Landon's new way of eating...he refuses to sit in his highchair anymore...and it's driving mommy and daddy crazy. The strap just won't get tight enough around his waist, so he just wiggles his way out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated on how to keep him sitting down.

Is he walking? Is he not? As of Monday, he has been walking. The 1st time he walked about 8-10 steps to me and didn't fall. I'm convinced he has been practicing when I'm not watching or when he is in the nursery at church. He does best when he has a drink or toy or something in his hands. I think it just makes him feel secure. I've been trying to get it on video for everyone, but haven't gotten a good one yet. Here is one that shows it a little. Enjoy!
