PROGRESS REPORT #2

Dear DD,

Here's another month-by-month comparison for you! I have my 6-month pediatrician visit tomorrow.  Mommy can't wait to find out what my doctor has to say!  Mommy thinks I'm perfect!

Love,

Landry

 

 

6 Months

Dear DD,

Happy 4th of July!  Today was my half-birthday!  I'm 6 months old!  Mommy says I have the cutest dimples in my cheeks and chin.  I decided to show them off for you today!  I didn't feel like sitting up tall today, so you can't tell, but I'm a lot taller than my lamb now!  I wanted to play with my toes today.

And then I wanted to do push-ups so I can get strong muscles!

Then Jovie came to see me.  But I was talking too loud and she wanted to leave, so Daddy had to hold her in the chair by me for this picture!  I love my kitty and my puppy.  They are soft.

Mommy told me to tell you that I'm rolling over from front to back and back to front.  I'm pushing up and locking my elbows and getting close to crawling.  I'm babbling dadadadada, mumumumum, bababababa, ggggg.  I reach for things I want, drink out of a sippy cup, and love trying new foods.  I can sit up with help, and can almost do it by myself.  I love standing (with help), and I like to play stand up/sit down!  I'm sleeping through the night (usually about 12 hours!), and I take 2-3 good naps a day.  

DD, I hope you had a good day today.  We just stayed home because we are packing to go on a vacation.  We went to my grandma and grandpa's house tonight for dinner.  Grammy came too, and so did my Uncle Blake, Aunt Renae, and 2 of my cousins:  Ashley and Chelsea.  It was pretty fun, but I got sleepy.  I didn't even stay awake for fireworks!  I did get to eat some watermelon mixed with my oatmeal, though.  I like the taste of watermelon!  Have a good weekend, DD!

Love,

Landry

Am I Crawling Yet?

Dear DD,

I have been trying so hard to crawl!  Some of my friends in the nursery can crawl, and I have been watching carefully to figure out how it's done.  So far, I can do this:

 

I can almost get my knees up under me.

 But then I get really tired.

Let's see...Maybe I need to move my arms more?

 Am I crawling yet?

 This is hard work!

Hey!  How YOU doin'?

 I guess I'll just have to practice looking cute for now.  Crawling will come another day!

Daddy & Me

Dear DD,

I wanted to show you a picture of me with my daddy on Father's Day.  We wore matching ties to church, and we attracted a lot of attention!  Mommy thought you might like to see me all dressed up!

And here's one of the whole family.  I was looking at the birds in the trees.

 

Daddy and Mommy helped in my Sunday School class at church.  It was fun to have them in the nursery with me!

After church we went to the grocery store.  I was worn out.  I think Daddy might have been too!

I can type 60 words a minute...

...of course, you may not recognize my words!

Dear DD,  here is a video of me "working" with Daddy.

About the videos

Hi DD,

Just wanted to let you know that I think I've fixed all the videos in the Milestones post and in the Giggles and Grins post.  Check and see if they work now.  :)

Please let me know if videos don't work for you, or if there's something I can do to make this better for you. I want it to be a blessing to you!

Love,
Tamara

Landry Sweetness

Dear DD,

Mommy says I'm pretty sweet, and she's sure you'll agree!  She says I've grown up A LOT this month!     She wanted to show you a few special pictures.

Here I am, at lunch with Mommy and Grammy.  Mommy got me these cool shades to protect my eyes in the sun.  I like wearing them on my eyes and on my head!  Everyone at the restaurant kept telling Mommy how cool I was!

I've been wearing my San Antonio Spurs shirts a lot and doing my best to say, "Go Spurs Go!", but sometimes it doesn't work!  Here I am in Grandma's favorite chair, giving her some sweet smiles.

And here I am in a different Spurs shirt, playing in my jumperoo at Grammy's house.  I wasn't crying - I was making loud noises and having fun!

This is my "3rd Grandma", or "Three".  She's not really my grandma, but she works at the office where Mommy works, and she likes to hold me when I'm working with Mommy.  She is really a grandma (she has 4 grandkids), but she's my Three.  She's really sweet.

Mommy took this picture of me to give to Grandpa for Father's Day.  Grandpa loves to fish, and I hope he'll take me someday.  He says he can't wait.  I can't really stand by myself yet, but I like to try.  Grammy was holding my right hand (out of the camera frame) to help me stand like a big boy!

I'm starting to really like tummy time.  I like this ball.  When I roll it, it sounds like a rain stick!  I've been rolling from tummy to back off and on, when I feel like it, for a couple of months.

Jovie and I decided to have a little talk.  I would tell you what we were talking about, but I promised Jovie I'd keep it a secret!

 

In my pjs.  I like sleeveless pjs because I'm a warm little body and I get hot easily.  Mommy decided to decorate some with some quick Sharpie art.

 

Today I just had a good smiley day.  Mommy kept taking pictures!  I think she thinks I'm cute!

Mommy and Daddy had to work on the computers at home today, so I set up my keyboard and did some typing while they worked.

Right now, I'm still practicing my typing.  Mommy has to type this blog for me because my hands are little and I don't know how to spell yet.  But someday, I'll type a special letter just for you!

Love,
Landry
