my bro came over again and we decided to take some pics ...usiing yellow this time...some of them were better than others...but alot of em turned out great...now if luke would just get over that cheesy grin...aaah...its killin me
it's the age... abigail did the cheesy grin thing till she was about 7, now jolie's doing it :roll:
jonas will hardly take a pic at all right now *rrggghhh!*
that first pic of landon is precious ;)
so sweet and handsome! ;) :P
What a cute pic of the two boys together.
In the town I live in we have a small flea market type place. My dad came home the other day with a wooden airplane for Janessa to ride around on. It's the same exact one as in the pic above except Janessas is primary colors. I had never seen one like it...it's so cute.
a friend of mines dad made it...he has the pattern...and so he made it for the boys around the same age as her son is...i guess u could say...for his "friends"
so...i guess urs is handmade too
oh my word! your boys are so cute, mesi. how fun . . . and i love the plane. what a great idea. the cheesy grin might take awhile to get over. he must feel somewhat self-concious and so he's making a STRONG effort to be natural. poor guy.
nonetheless, it's cute.
no...hes making a strong effort to look natural bc i fuss at him and tell him to smile right...that in the pic is after we have tamed it down a bit
and ty...i think hes cute too
Both boys are adorable, and the airplane is really cute. For Christmas a few years ago, my MIL found a little red wooden airplane for Brionna at the Children's Orchard. Brionna played with it for a few months. After Brennen came along and got big enough for it, he fell in love with the airplane! Then the fight was on...Brionna didn't want anyone on her plane.

ty...
i know seth...lol...u like my nails huh?!...i did cut em last night...im sorry yall that they werent shaped perfectly...lol
Mine aren't either, Mesi - I ALWAYS break a nail when I'm playing piano so it's impossible to keep them all the same length... I try - sometimes harder than others - but it never works ;)
this was from when my bro came over a cpl months ago and we took pics...i think landon was like 4 months...idk...maybe less...but anyway...i just got the 1s he did from him....this is one of my faves...luke cracks me up...
he had either just gotten in trouble or was about to...i think this is right b4 he had to go to his room for a "talk"...some call it other things...lol....he did however come out and do wonderful!
(http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/mesipie/lukepoutblkwht.jpg)

He looks like such a cute little happy baby!

Aww your boys are really cute. Landon has beautiful eyes.
He's sooo precious!
Yeah he is so precious, just a cute face. Love him
he's so cute! and already bigger than westley was at 1 year old, haha.
What a cutie!!
He looks like quite a little charmer!!!
thanks yall...i loove his eyes..they are such a bright blue in so many of his pics
i know this is disgusting but it was also impressive i thought...
landon has had a snotty nose...
(http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/mesipie/SNOT.jpg)
That's hilarious that he kept it long enough to get a picture. (i've got three boys, snot bubbles don't gross me out, haha)
girl...he kept it long enough for me to see it, fumble around with the camera, take the pic and bring him to the kitchen to clean it!...lol
:o :laughhard:
ok, that's gross.... but also hilarious :biglaugh:
Thats awesome! i've never seen a snot bubble that big.
:laughhard: That's hilarious!!!!

:laughhard: :laughat:
I
GOTTA put a plug in for this little fella!! He
IS the happiest and sweetest baby I have
EVER been around. He has got such a strong personality, too! He is hilarious when he is eating or wants something. He starts this grunting-like thing and it sounds like "huh, huh, huh, huh, huh"!! :lol: He gets quite excited. I don't think I've ever seen a baby so young respond the way he does.
Now, you might think I've said all of that because I am like 3rd on the list of people who he LOVES the most (after mom/dad and Daniel <-- :mad: ). Well, that sure helps, but even if not I'd still say it about him. (I even took him from his grandmother the other night! :o Only messypah and I know what kind of remarks THAT will bring, right?)
So, there. Landon (or ladon, as he is affectionately known) is my favorite of all our, how many?, five babies right now!! :clap2:
Ahhh, he is so cute. I would love to hold him.
*tear*
aww john...u bout made me cry...i can literally feel em comin!
u could hold em darla...we need to get together sometime
hehe
wed. i went to the bank and the lady was like how many kids...i said 3 bc i had payton...my nephew...well...i figured i could eat landons s*cker...but...luke had his in the back seat...and when landon saw it he started begging for it and fussing bc luke had 1 and he didnt...so i had to let luke feed landon the 1 i was trying to eat...lol...
he is starting early
Wednesday night after church he gave me one of those mouth-open-wide kisses baby's do! :laughhard: I didn't really see it coming, so I got quite a bit of Landon drool on my mouth. But, I ate it up!! (not the drool, the kiss) :lol:

....Ha! Like I said in the Mattison thread--she went to bed with the phone the other night because she is attached to it like a 15 year old. I tried to take it from her several times and she screamed. So, I let her have it--she went to sleep with it and I was hoping the phone didn't ring until I could go get it from her bed. It is amazing how strong their will gets at an early age!
ha thats hilarious darla
john...u really are special...he never kisses daniel...or grandma...he kisses me, luke, babies, and every 1ce in a while he kisses his daddy...

But- he's oh-so-cute!!
Look at the bubble! Wow. haha.
Mesi, you've got a very handsome lil man on your hands. Snot bubble and all.
That snot bubble pic reminded me of something:
At church, we have this new family who JUST moved to Australia from Africa - anyways... the baby had some snot coming out one nostril, and to deal with it, his mum BLEW up the other nostril and it just came flying out!! Hilarious!! :D
:o
wow...i'll hafta get my hubby to try that 1 nik...idk that i would put my mouth up to his snotty nose...even if it was the other nostril

Aww landon is so cute, and i'm amazed that he doesan't have a booger or snot bubble hanging outta his nose.
He was working on a snot bubble later in the evening while I was holding him. Everytime he breathed out it bulged a bit, but it never materialized into anything worth taking a picture of. :lol:
He IS the cutest and sweetest baby I've EVER met!
*wonders where he got it from* :think:
He is so cute, and growing fast, thats so great
from his mama of course
of..........course. :roll:
;)
He is a cute little guy.
my baby just went to his nana and papa's....we didn't even get to dress him up b/c we didn't have a costume small enough. Next year thou...we'll get to dress up!!!

For Brionna's first Christmas, she slept right through it, she was only six days old though! However, her second Christmas was lots of fun.
omg! christmas was greattt fun with Emma!!! we had ablast!
abigail and jolie were both a lot of fun at their first Christmas (jan. and april babies), but jonas was only a couple weeks old for his. we had to be careful not to let everyone surround/smother him too much also cuz he was a month premature. the doc had actually recommended we not take him out until he cleared his due date, but i was NOT going to miss the family get-togethers.
landons getting soooo big!!! hes sooooooo CUTE!!!

YAY! this is the day that bapka is smiling! what fabulous pics!
and yes, you won't mind the food on his face. it's part of his character . . he obviously is enjoying his food a LOT and busy enjoying the company around him a LOT and the details are not very important. he's living large!
same with landon. it's not that he's being naughty. there's just so very much to do as soon as he gets out of that chair and out of that door and if he doesn't do something to get out of there all that fun will be wasted away.
thanks for sharing the pics. you made my day! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
yw...u just made me cry...i know when i *look back* i will be happy..sometimes now its just *hard* know what i mean?...landon is very ummm *active*...i try not to call him bad..hes just so much more into things..and stubborn...lol
oh i do know what you mean and it's much easier for me on this side of raising boys to think and see what i do. it's not so easy when you're trying to raise them to be respectful and clean and well-behaved.
just enjoy the journey, kiddo. it's such a short season of your life. you're doing a good job. don't worry. God will make up the difference.
have you read Dobson's Strong Willed Child? it helped me IMMENSELY with my boys.
i have not...i prolly should tho...ppl have recommended it to me...which likely means that thye feel i have strong willed children...lol
the common perception of a strong willed child is that they are tempermental, stubborn, difficult, hard to control - often labeled as ADD or ADHD.
both of my boys fell into some, at least, of the categories. in face my older son was going to drive me crazy when we got in to the 2s and 3s. he just would NOT do what he was told unless he felt like it. everything was a battle of the wills. he wanted to wear what he picked out, leave when he was ready, sit or stand or talk or not according to his plan.
one time we faced off over him being in the corner for yelling at me. mind you, he was TWO years old. it took me almost two hours to get him to stay in the corner for a total of one minute without him turning away.
i thought i was going to go crazy. thought i was a HUGE failure as a mother. of course, i was only 20 and had no real toddler parenting examples growing up. it was awful.
the book - and some fabulous mentors at church - taught me how to see through his eyes instead. rather than breaking his will, i had to make him understand why i needed him to behave a certain way, allow him to make a mistake once or twice and give him time to get with the plan. i also had to give him time and space to be himself. drums became his creative outlet. basketball became his physical outlet. we used a clock and warning system to get ready. 1/2 hour before the warning was, "we leave in 1/2 hour," etc. that gave him time to finish what he was doing - even if it was just playing cars. they were his cars he was playing and no one but him contolled that world. see what i mean?
now, as a young man who is in charge of a family at a very young age and who has had some challenges in a spiritual manner, i am very glad that he does things his own way, makes up his own mind and stands firm. the very character traits that were going to drive me crazy became his strengths. even more so when he was a teen and his peers were smoking pot and sneaking into bars.
i highly recommend the book. it will help you bend his spirit without breaking his will.
thi was his own challenge in other ways, but johnathon? he was a classic strong willed child!
now go hug them and tell them again how proud you are of them. *smile*
well...i got on line and looked up the book...as soon as i posted the last post up there^...then i immediately called the librarym, and went out of my way to check out the book BEFORE i even picked up luke from school...sooo....i do have the book...and im about to start reading it in the next few minutes...i talked to an awesome woman of God last october....well...pm coming...not airing my laundry publicly
