Landon at Two Years Old

I am once again, waaaaay behind on this blog, but I have to talk about what Landon is up to now that he is the big 2!

Here are his stats from his 2 year doctor appointment:

Height:  34.5 inches - 63.22%

Weight:  25 pounds 3 ounces - 16.77%

Head Circumference:  19.25 inches - 60%

Definitely growing, but still a skinny little thing.  Fortunately, this was an easy-breezy appointment with no vaccinations.  Gotta love those. 

If I could sum up what Landon is interested in right now it would be all things boy - balls, trains, trucks, cars, etc.  He is always pointing out construction trucks wherever he sees them, and loves playing with his little ones at home.  He loves books that have to do with trains and trucks.  He is also always point out balls and saying their names (football, baseball, etc.) and will happily watch games on TV with Cameron.  He loves playing with his little basketball hoop, and is quite good at making baskets.  We got him a little t-ball thing for his birthday, and we are excited to play with that with him once it warms up a little outside! 

Even though he loves all his "boy" things, he still will play with Miley and likes to play with some of her dolls.  He has taken a particular interest in her baby doll lately and likes to play with it, and pretend to put it to bed, tucking it in and giving it  kisses.  Pretty sweet.

Landon has really taken off with talking.  He uses mostly one word when he wants something, or is telling you something, but is starting to string a couple words together at a time.  It is nice, because we can definitely communicate with him and understand what he needs.

He seems to favor his left hand.  He uses it when eating, and uses it a lot when throwing balls, etc.  It will be interesting to see if he turns out to be a lefty?

Landon is the world's biggest daddy boy.  If Cameron is around he wants nothing to do with anyone else.  He is his little shadow.  If he needs something done, he wants Cameron to do it for him.  If I even try to help him with something, he will tell me "NO....daddy!"  It gives me a nice little break in the evenings when Cameron is home.  :)

Landon loves to sing his ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, etc.  

Speaking of the ABC's, he knows them pretty well.  He can point out letters and tell you what they are.  He loves all of his different ABC books right now.  They are probably the ones he chooses to read the most (besides truck ones!).

He loves puzzles and can put some of them together by himself!

He is our particular child.  He likes to have things a certain way, and gets upset if they aren't right.  We jokingly call him OCD because he likes to be pretty clean, and is the kid in our family (ahem, Miley) who likes to help clean up....pick up toys, sweep, wipe himself off when he is eating, etc.

We can never get enough of Landon and his sweet little smile and personality.  He definitely keeps us on our toes, but is also the best snuggler and will melt your heart with his kisses and hugs.  I just wish he would stay this small forever!
