A Few New Milestones

I can't believe what a big boy Landon seems lately...

he's talking up a storm, helping out with his baby sister, getting up and down from the couch, kitchen table, our bed, AND...

now he's in a BIG BOY BED. Well, sorta...we converted his crib into the transition/toddler bed! He has done a great job! The first nap went so great and he didn't even cry or get out of bed. That night was a little tough. He got out and cried by the door but then eventually went back to his bed and fell asleep. Most nights since then he has cried at the door for a few minutes and then climbed into bed soon after. A few times we've gone in to check on him and found him sleeping on the floor. So, we pick him up and carry him into his bed and he stays sleeping. One morning last week we went in to wake him up in the morning and all we saw were his little feet sticking out from under the crib! He had fallen asleep under the crib. When he woke up he got out and said "Landon stuck!" Each night is a new adventure and we are hoping that soon after his birthday he will be ready for the real big boy bed...just the headboard with a twin size set of mattresses. Whew...when did this little baby boy get to be so big???

Seeing his big boy bed for the first time...can you tell he likes it?

(This is also the first time having a pillow in his bed! Way cool!)

Nice enough to let his sister try it out...

As for Miss Addison...

She's hitting some milestones herself! She's now eating both fruits and vegetables mixed with either rice cereal or baby oatmeal. She loves most of them, especially carrots, bananas, peaches, and sweet potatoes. Not so sure about the peas yet! We've also discovered that she loves Puffs as well as Baby Mum Mums. Landon also loved the Mum Mums and we tried them out for Addison last week when we were visiting her cousin Blake. He loves them too! She did so well and I figured out that she'll stay quiet in her high chair chewing on one so that I can get dinner made or the dishwasher unloaded...YES! Her other newest milestone is starting to scoot around on the floor. She pushes off with her toes and reaches for objects. She is also rolling to get what she wants across the room. Quite the little mover! She's also starting to push up on her knees. Won't be long before she's crawling now...watch out world!
