Things Landon has learned from his brothers

It may sound terrible to say, but Landon has quite a few things in common with his brothers. Yes, his brothers are dogs, but they are similarities all the same.

Here's the run down...

1) Always get a good stretch in after a nap.

2, 3 or 4 stretch sessions are sometimes necessary. It's one of my favorite things. Picking him up after a nap, and watching him really get in a good stretch. He then continues the stretching on the changing table and really puts all he has into it. You can see how red his face gets!

2) Hang out with your tongue out! This is a new thing with Landon lately...he LOVES to stick out his tongue. He's fascinated with it. This picture doesn't really do it justice. He really gets it out there like Jack! When we go for walks, he sits in his BJORN with his tongue hanging out half the walk. It's pretty funny!! He likes to mimic you sticking your tongue out too.

3) Drool is cool! Anyone who has met our dogs understands this. No picture of Jack or Guinness is necessary. If you've lived it, you remember it. They look a lot like Landon does in this picture!! Accept there's practically touches the floor! As you can see, Landon thinks it's pretty funny to drool. I've attached a picture for your viewing pleasure anyway...Jack drooling over the pool.

4) If you don't get what you want, just give them the "look". This look is hard to ignore. It's so sweet and innocent and pathetic all the same. Landon is upset here because Dad interupted his dinner mid way to try to get a burp out of him. He doesn't like his food taken away...which is probably why he's turning into such a chunk! For anyone keeping track, his weight gain is still climbing. Not at the warped speed of a pound a week that we've gotten used to over the last 4 or 5 weeks, but he is still gaining. Last Thursday he was weighing in a 14lb 5oz. Yesterday when I weighed him at Mommy and Me, he was tipping the scales at 14lb 12.5oz. He'll be over 15 by mid next week. Our 3 (well, almost) month old son is wearing 6 month size clothes!! And of course, a picture of Guinness with his classic "throw the ball" stare down. I don't think we've ever had anyone over to our house that can resist Guinness' power of persuasion. Once he teaches Landon to throw the ball for him, we're all in for some trouble!
