Landon turns 4!!!

This year for Landon's birthday we knew exactly what the theme would be...SPIDERMAN!!! He and Dylan both LOVE, with a huge emphasis on LOVE, Spiderman. I love planning big birthday parties and this was one of our biggest yet...I had a great time and so did Landon! We had most of our family with us and invited our close friends and all of Landon's class at school...The Teddy Bears! We had a great turn out, great weather and great fun.

I think the hardest part of all is that 4 years has honestly just flown by...poof...gone...I know it sounds so cliche but it is the truth...even tonight when I was putting him to bed, I asked to carry him as I know very soon I won't be able to carry him and that he won't want me to carry him...He will always be my baby!

He has grown so much and continues to amaze me in all that he does...he is still incredibly smart and also still very fearful.

At 4, Landon can:

  • Count to 15 verbally and physically by counting items
  • Write his own name
  • Ride a big boy bike
  • Can draw a complete body with all body parts
  • Knows all of his letters visually and can give you an example of something that starts with that letter
  • Can swim the length of the pool all by himself with no floats
  • Knows every animal at the zoo...he still LOVES animals
  • Knows all kinds of trucks and will correct me when I am wrong, which is a lot as everything is a bulldozer to me :)
  • He is still very fearful of certain things like ointments for cuts and water in his eyes but we are working on that :)
Landon also slowed down in some growth areas...He is still 85% in all areas but that is down from last year in which he was 97% in all.

He weighs 43 pounds and is 42.5 inches tall...so hard to believe that my 7 pounds 9 ounce baby boy is so big...

Landon, I love you more and more each day and I am so blessed that God has given me the chance to be your mommy!!!

It isn't a Jonas birthday without a bouncy house!
