State Fair Fun

On an absolutely perfect Sunday afternoon, Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, and Grandpa took Landon to the fair. He had no idea that there were so many people in the world – and animals that were bigger than his parents put together! There was so much to see!!

Following in Mommy’s family’s tradition to eat your way through the Indiana State Fair, Landon was drooling over the pulled pork sandwiches, grilled corn on the cob, and funnel cakes!

Landon was so content and interested in looking at everything. His only tears for the entire afternoon spontaneously erupted when he entered the horse barn…was it the smell or the giant creatures or the ten thousand strollers that were swarming?!

After a few hours, Landon decided to go ahead and start his nap! It was a perfect day!!

Say What?

Who knew that Mommy and Daddy would have such a little talker on their hands?! Landon loves to make "comments" about everything, especially while he plays! Mommy cherishes every little "coo" and "ahh" and "eee."

Whine and Dine

On July 29, Mommy took Landon to see "Dr. Donald Duck" where she found out that Landon now weighs 12 lbs. 8oz and is over 23 inches long (yeah - he's finally not below the 3rd percentile)! Since he is over four months old, the doctor said that Landon could start solid foods. This picture of his first attempt to eat rice cereal pretty much sums up the experience - yucky! Now, we've learned that if you mix a little bit of juice with the cereal, it makes all the difference in the world.

The good news is that Landon's distaste for cereal directly coincides with his new love for bathing. So, no matter what kind of mess he makes during the meal, it's not a problem to clean him up!
