Landon's is 1

 Every birthday in our house starts with balloons.
 It was Jaron's last day of swimming lessons on July the 6th.  So Landon had a good time watching that with daddy.
After the swimming lessons it was off to the airport to fly to Utah.  Landon has a lot of energy, as most 1 year old's do.  So it was a difficult flight from Dallas to Denver.  Our plane was late taking off and then we could not land because of bad weather in Denver so we circled the city a little while then finally went and flew under the storm.  The extra long landing made us miss our connecting flight. We had a several hour layover in Denver putting us into SLC 4 hours later than we originally were going to arrive. Luckily our little man won't remember the details of his first birthday but it will make a good story.

Landon hasn't made it to the doctor yet to get his official stats. But he is over 31" making him our tallest one yet.
It is official I think he has brown eyes.
He is very thin in my opinion which would probably be due to him moving ALL the time.  He just doesn't want to sit still. 
He is not walking, making our first one that hasn't walked before one.  This isn't a big deal thought he is a very good crawler and is getting around just fine.  He pulls himself up to things and walks around holding on to stuff.  He also will take one step then kind of free-fall to the ground.  It looks like it hurts to me but he thinks it is great fun.  He also does his free-fall "bodyslam" onto other people.
Landon has at least 10 teeth.  He has four front on top and bottom and a few molars.  He is cutting a lot of teeth right now that is why I say at least. It is very dangerous to put your finger in there, because he is a bitter.  He bits my shoulder all the time when I am holding him.  Luckily he does not bit when he is nursing.
He is saying "mama", "dada", "daugh" (dog), "uh-oh".  He is a jabbering little guy.  He likes to spit and vibrate his lips. He has also likes to rub his teeth with his tongue.
When he is eating he smacks his lips and if it is extra good he licks his lips.
He loves to watch his brothers play and try to follow.
He loves to dance to music.
He likes to play with is eyes, nose, ears, mouth, toes, and head.  And other peoples too.
He pats everything right now, kind of cute.

They are all so different, but it is so much fun to watch each one develop in his own way.
