Our baby boy is ONE!

This past year has gone way too fast. Our baby boy is ONE! We never thought we would make it to one (colic...fussy!) Now that we are at ONE....we are thinking we are never going to make it to TWO! haha. Landen continues to amaze us. He is VERY independent. Brandon keeps blaming that one on me! (I have no idea what he is talking about!)
He is walking everywhere. It is so funny to watch him waddle through the house and then turn on a dime when something catches his attention. He really enjoys crawling up the stairs to go to his room. He has learned to get through many of the barricades that mommy and daddy has set up for him in the house. He thinks it is quite funny when he is on the other side and has YOU pinned in the room.
His personality continues to come out. He does not like the words NO...NAP...and did I mention NO! All very normal, but so frustrating repeating myself a thousand times every day. Regardless, we wouldn't trade him for the world.
On his birthday, September 4th.....mommy, daddy and the birthday boy all went to breakfast together. He had part of a pancake, banana, chessey eggs and of course puffs! After breakfast we went to the zoo....Landen's favorite place. He loved seeing the baby elephant! We were actually at this exhibit when Landen was officially born a year ago...1:55 pm. Mommy had tears in her eyes and Landen looked at me like "It is just a baby elephant Mom!"
September 6th was Landen's birthday party at the Mt. Gilead State Park. We had so many friends and family there...it was wonderful. Landen didn't understand what all the fuss was about, but he didn't care.....he got cake! He did so good with everything! We were so proud of him! We are looking forward to the next year! Hopefully we bypass the terrible twos.
