Fun in the Snow, Singing and the Park

Landry thinks his big brother is pretty cool.  He's always just a crawl behind him and loves to watch his every move.  The other morning Greyson wanted to go out and shovel the deck, so out he went.  Landry watched from the window until he returned. 

Greyson likes to play in the snow a lot, so the other afternoon we built a snowman (Landry was sleeping on my back).  After we completed what I think was a good looking, pretty big snowman I ran inside to try and lay Landry down to finish his nap.  As I came back outside Greyson had completely demolished our snowman, what a boy.

This are fun clips of Grey and Landry singing, I especially like how Landry watches Greyson' every move.  

The below clip is just Landry enjoying the swing at the park 

   

Landry's Dedication

At the end of January Landry was finally dedicated.  He did a great job, and slept right through everything.  We've attached the video for our parents.  Enjoy!

A Family Walk

Winter is when the eagles are really out in Kodiak.  We enjoyed an afternoon walk near one of the canneries and there were eagles everywhere.  While my husband may not completely agree two eagles even tried to get Roscoe.  Either way they swooped down right next to us fighting with each other.  It was enough to make me scream (I guess that doesn't take too much).  

Either way it was a nice afternoon walk. 

Greyson is really into tools and fixing things right now.  We often find him under his play cars or stroller "fixing it".  If he had to decide today, he's be a maintenance man when he grows up. 

Oh Landry

When Greyson goes to bed we have a little bit of Landry time.  He sure is a cute little guy.:)

Landry Our Little Eater

Landry is 9 Months!

January 21st Landry turned 9 months.  We're excited that he's in the 25th percentile for weight and 50th for height.  This was something we always fought with our tiny Greyson.  He LOVES to crawl, pull himself up and his newest accomplishment is saying WOW and standing up without any help.  

While he's still a terrible sleeper and won't go more than 20 minutes sleeping by himself I guess we've just gotten used to it (Greyson was the same way) he really is a happy little man.  

 He puts everything in his month and loves to eat.  His favorite food I really do think is the dog food.  Just this morning I raced him to Roscoe's bowl and he let out a huge cry and fit when I took it out of his reach.

Our Everyday Routines

 We've had some beautiful weather this past January in Kodiak.  It's a huge blessing to look out our window every morning to an incredible, new view.  With the warm Kodiak winter we've gotten out a lot.  Most days after breakfast we head to the office for a little while the start walking either to the park or beach.

 Most days Landry will fall asleep on the way to our destination, which means lots of fun for Greyson and me running around bases at the baseball field or traveling to Woody Island on our boat (which is actually the playground equipment).

 When we have a rainy day, which there are plenty of it normally results in a huge mess.  I recently read that trying to clean your house with children is like shoveling snow in a blizzard.  So true!  I have found that I'll have plenty of time to have a clean house when my kids are older.

Here's another morning view and below is Landry loving the swing at the park.
