Landon is now 6 months old.
In the last month (as of 10/21/13)...
- He weighs 15lbs 13.5oz (10th percentile) and is 26" long (25th percentile).
When in Chandler, we visited the animals at the Phoenix Zoo and attended a Greek Festival-Opah!
- He weighs 15lbs 13.5oz (10th percentile) and is 26" long (25th percentile).
- He sits! Just a couple of days after he turned 5 months old, he began sitting up all on his own. One day he was so wobbly that he couldn't sit for 10 seconds and then 2 days later he sat perfectly fine on his own for 10 minutes! He loves sitting and playing, and we love it too! (It also helps to be able to sit in high chairs, shopping carts and strollers!)

- Landon now likes to stand up (while we hold him, of course) and bounce up and down, up and down.
- He recently started getting on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth. Hopefully this stage lasts a while before the crawling kicks in!
- He is more verbal each week. He gargles and makes the "G" sound all the time these days. There was also a weeklong spurt of this fake cough.

- Landon drools like a maniac, and he has found his saliva to be entertaining while endlessly purses his lips and tries to blow bubbles.
- He reaches his arms out to be picked up when he sees us or if he hears us say "up". It's so fun when he reaches for us! Sadly, he also notices when we leave the room, which, on occasion, causes him to cry.
- He can hold a bottle all on his own. And, as you can see below, he's got a strong grip and won't let anyone take it away from him!
- Things that haven't changed: he still spits up lots (the medications didn't help, neither did me giving up dairy), he still shoves his fingers and hands in his mouth (nowadays he can get almost both fists in his mouth at the same time), he still loves books and being outdoors, he still loves to "help" with laundry, he is still a very happy boy and we still think he's adorable.
- We took Landon on his first road trip. We went to visit his cousin Jake, Uncle Peter and Auntie Amber in Chandler, Arizona.

- Landon made his first appearance at a pumpkin patch (with Addison and Kaylee Rogers).
- We had fun with some visitors this month...Gramma & Papa (and Tyson) as well as Landon's buddy, Atlas (who is 3 weeks older than him).
- We got one more trip to the beach in while the weather was nice.
- Landon is helping Daddy recover from knee surgery. (Daniel had an ACL tear on 10/22, but he's doing well and is own his way to a full recovery!)
- We're excited to introduce Landon to solid foods! :)

We can't believe that we are halfway to Landon's first birthday!
