I have a half-written post that I really want to finish, but I'm so behind in my reading that it's not going to happen today. Luckily, we finally got our new camera in the mail (JP dropped and broke ours on New Year's- and he was the sober one!). So I'll leave you with a few pictures:

The Jumperoo

We finally gave in and bought Landon a new plastic monstrosity to play in. He outgrew his swing in early December and we needed something to keep him entertained when I do non-Landon-centric things like make dinner and go to bathroom. He's loved standing up on our laps since he was 3 months old, so we hoped this would keep him happy for longer than his bouncer. And I have to say that he loves it. It was $80 (cheap compared to some of the exersaucers), isn't too big, and keeps him very busy. He just figured out the bouncing aspect of it yesterday and I've got to get him on video, it's hysterical.

Your Move

Lilly has been surprisingly tolerant of Landon, and Landon has been surprisingly gentle with Lilly. He gets so excited every time he sees her and she often goes out of her way just to walk in front of him (see, cats can be people pleasers!). She even curls up next to him on the floor and lets him touch her fur. What amazes me is that he doesn't grab her fur the way he grabs everything else; instead, he keeps his hand flat or his fingers soft and just touches her. He's obviously an animal lover.

Nightly Tricycle Ride

Landon got this UT trike as a gift in December and JP takes him on a ride every evening. Obviously, his legs need to grow just a little more before he can use it by himself, but he seems to get a lot of fun out of it anyway. And so does his daddy.

Thumbs Up for Chuy's

This is the gift I mentioned here. We received it from a very nice attorney in Washington, DC who took a business trip to Houston and wanted to send me something to remind me of home. When she couldn't properly package and ship my mom or a margarita, she picked up Landon this "i wanna rock-n-roll all nite and potty everyday" t-shirt from Chuy's, the fabulous Tex-Mex restaurant. Landon felt quite snazzy wearing it and I didn't even notice the "thumb's up" he was giving until after I transferred the picture to my computer. He must have picked it up from one of the cool older babies at daycare. Next thing you know he'll be wearing a leather bomber jacket and gelling his hair.
