And we are off!

Paul and I took Little Man to visit Gigi and Papi and to go to Luke and Kristen's wedding shower in Loretto on the 13th. The week before, we (minus our sweet boy) went to Sarasota for a great friend's wedding. Paul was a groomsman! Landon had been rocking on all fours for a few weeks, so we just knew that he would begin crawling while we were in Florida. But, he must have known how important it was for Mommy and Daddy to see him reach a new milestone because he waited until the 13th...early birthday present for Mommy I suppose. We were watching a baseball game (of course!) and something caught Landon's eye. He started rocking and giggling and then, he moved! He didn't do it too well; his little right leg sort of dragged underneath him but who cares because he did it! He laughed at himself everytime he moved. It was so precious to see how proud he was of himself. It didn't take long for him to get the hang of crawling. Now, we can't keep him still. And he apparently was not satisfied with just crawling. Just a day later, he began pulling himself up on the couch, coffee table, entertainment center...etc. I can't believe how quickly he is growing. I have actually asked him to slow down, but at 7 months, he already is ignoring Mommy's requests.

I wonder what new thing he will do next week...there is a bottom tooth that looks ready to break through any day but maybe he'll start walking before that tooth comes in. All I know is that this little man is growing and changing every day!

On a side note: I entered Landon in a photo contest on Parent.com. He is currently in the running for the Reader's Choice (not sure if that means he is ruled out on the other 9 finalist spots). We would really LOVE your help and your votes.
