Kasey's Baby Shower

My good friend Beth was sweet enough to host a baby shower for Kasey on October 26th. We met at Blue Mesa and did shower stuff (opened gifts, played cute games (baby crossword and match the celebrity baby names), and then we ordered some dinner and had a good time talking with each other.

Beth made a wonderful cake that we all enjoyed for dessert. Greg and Landon made a token appearance to drop off keys to the 4Runner so we could put everything in there.

I had not registered, but everyone picked out wonderful and generous gifts for Kasey. It was fun to see different tastes and ideas. I'm not to big on pink, but I actually liked everything that we got. It's exciting seeing all of the cute girl clothes, and Kasey is set for a while :)

I really appreciate Beth hosting the shower for us, it turned out great.

TI moms Halloween Playdate

On Saturday we went to the Dallas Arboretum for a playdate with the TI moms group. We all brought our lunch and the kids dressed up and got to run around. It was beautiful out there both weather wise and all of the flowers and all of the pumpkins. TI was sponsoring the events at the arboretum so we were able to get in for free.

We had a good time hanging out with the families and seeing the kids all dressed up. Landon ate a good lunch, but of course wanted to all of the desserts that everyone brought.

There was a maze made of hay that Landon liked running through. There was a pumpkin house and a pumpkin patch that you could run through. Landon liked the pumpkins as usual. There was also a little petting zoo with some goats, a rabbit, donkey, some chickens and a sheep. I don't think I've ever pet a sheep before so that was pretty cool.

Poo Poo in potty

Landon went poo poo in the potty for the first time tonight (10/22). He was in the bath and said he wanted to go poo poo in the potty. He went pee pee first, and then wasn't sure what to do. After sitting there for a little while he actually went poo poo. We were very proud of him.

On Oct 27 Landon went poo poo in the potty at Grandma's house.

Conroe Visit

Grammy, Greg, Landon and I went to visit relatives in the Conroe area the weekend of Oct 17th. Landon enjoyed hanging out with his cousins and playing with everyone (including the dogs). He really liked playing with the badminton set. At least he liked hitting the shuttlecock with the racquet. Grammy, Aunt Mary, Cheri got to see and feel Kasey moving around.

Landon helped us make Hershey bar pie

He got some new fun puzzles and Mr Potato head that he has enjoyed. He also got to do flash cards with "Uncle David"

On the way out of town we stopped at the Marina and David took us for a boat ride. Landon enjoyed it. Both Landon and Greg got to drive the boat. We lost Landon's hat in the water, but Greg was able to get it back.

First School Social

As room parents we helped organize Landon's first school social. This allows the parents and kids to meet up outside of school. We met at a park near the school and had lunch with some of his class mates. The kids got to play at the park, play some football, and we eat some lunch before school. Here are a couple pictures.

help cooking, big boy, new sizes

Landon is a big help when cooking. We made some cookies and Landon was a great help. He helped pooring ingredients, and he also likes licking the mixer.



















Landon wore some jeans on 10/16 because it was cooler outside. He looked like such a big boy. He also was wearing a jacket that made him look older, but he wouldn't keep it on for a picture.



















New sizes for Landon: We bought him 8 1/2 shoes, he's moved to size 6 diapers, wearing 4T sleepers, 3T pants, and 4T shirts.

The last picture is Landon in our new Halloween decoration box eating a cookie trying to keep it from Lady. We had to get a maroon box for Halloween decorations to counteract the orange.

Zoo

We went to the Dallas Zoo with Beth and Cade. Here are some pictures from our fun visit. The kids enjoyed seeing the animals, and it wasn't to hot so we enjoyed it as well. We didn't take a picture of it, but we saw them feed a python. They put 2 rabbits in there, and we saw the huge snake wrap around one of them and start eating it. It took a long time, but was interesting to watch. This was the first time we used the double stroller that Janice bought in preparation for Kasey.
