We made it! Our first real trip to the beach with Landon. We went last year when he was 5 months old and that was really kinda a blur. He really loved to ocean and was splashing around, grinning from ear to ear. He loved the sand and building sandcastles with his Dad. Stan even built him a car out of sand and he got to sit in it- he was really proud (Stan and Landon!!). We let Landon have his first taste of chocolate ice cream- he could take it or leave it. On the other hand, he also had his first taste of hushpuppies- he immediately signed, "More"!! We all laughed so hard!
Landon did not get the memo about sleeping in on vacation, though. He was a rooster- I think the earliest was about 6:00am. I took him for a jog in the jogging stroller- he was fine the first mile and screamed the entire second mile. Wow. I think I should have gotten double the calories on that run! :) He also got 6 teeth while we were there. Wow. He is growing so fast, he was a delight for his grandparents and his aunt and uncle. He was thrilled to look for his grandaddy and in fact- that was the only way I could get him out of the ocean. He also loved his time with Nana- we caught the two of them eating cheese puffs when we returned from breakfast and he was just giggling like crazy- it was like he actually knew that that was a real treat!! He also started recognizing his aunt Anna- as "moo" (her nickname). He would go into
her room and call, Moooo- so cute. He also was thrilled with feeding his future uncle Brandon cookies. Brandon was the only one Landon would actually give cookies to- everyone else got whatever slobbery left over he had.One more funny- Stan's dad had a moon pie and Landon saw him eating it and signed, "Please". L.D. couldn't resist, gave him a piece and immediately signed, "More" as well. This boy knows what he likes. The only thing is that most of the things he loves are not so good for him! I did find out that he likes asparagus though. :) We had such a great family time and look forward to another event. Landon was such a trooper but we can tell he is so happy to be home- he has slept until 8:00 each morning!
Well, I better run, he is sitting in his drum and can't get out. What in the world did I do with my time before having this little friend?

Oh my goodness...he is too cute! And he looks so happy! Of course, he has two wonderful parents, so why wouldn't he look happy. I love reading your blog and I'm so glad you had such a great vacation.
Sounds like a great trip. I can't believe he got 6 teeth at one time! He is definitely a trooper.
