Height: 31.5 inches (25th percentile)
Head Circumference: 49.5 cm (90th percentile) That's one smart kid!!
Weight: 22.6 lbs. (10th-15th percentile)
I was concerned about that last one, but our dr. assured us that at this age toddlers start to come into their stature that they are destined to be as a kid and pre-teen. He said Landon's genes have probably determined him to be a thin kiddo. Aaron and I were both pretty skinny kids so I guess it was bound to happen! The dr. said we would actually be doing him a disservice if we tried to "fatten" him up! And the boy can eat, so that's not a concern! :) My first bragging moment came at the end of Landon's appt. He received one shot yesterday and did not make a peep!! He flinched a little but that was it! My little boy is so tough!!
Landon does not have a large vocabulary yet, but he is sure proving that he understands so much these days! My next bragging point is how Landon is so mild-tempered (most of the time). He doesn't go to time-out often but when he does, he usually sits there on his own for the whole time without crying. A few times I've even told him to go sit in time-out and he will go and sit down all by himself! If he picks up something he's not supposed to (remote control, cell phone, etc.) and we tell him to go put it back, often times he will. He has never hit or bit anyone out of anger. He goes down for naps and to bed at night without any fuss! Every now and then he gets frustrated if he can't work a toy right, but for the most part he doesn't throw tantrums.
Yesterday, Aaron and I started doing some spring-cleaning in preparation for baby brother and Landon just went from room to room wherever we were and "helped" us. I realize that things could change at any time as Landon grows, but for right now we feel so blessed to have such a sweet and calm spirited child, who isn't perfect, but is an absolute joy to be around. Now, should I be concerned about baby Reid?? Guess we'll see!

Way to go, Landon! What a big boy you are becoming! Your doctor is right...don't get caught up on the numbers...as long as he is growing and not the same measurements every check-up..he is fine :)
Brag on Momma! You have every right to do that with such a little sweetheart like Landon. I am sure Reid will be the same way :)
So I was wondering if Landon is mild-tempered...what would come after sever -tempered (for Luka) :)? I am actually heading out in a few minutes to get a parenting book because this kid is getting out of control! Have a great weekend friend:)
