The Contreras Family: Landon turns one !

There are a lot of pictures in this post :) My sweet little Landon boy turned one last week! I love him so much, and yes, I do squish his cheeks everyday. I do it so often it makes him mad now :)

I took so many pictures because I wanted to kind of capture a day in the life of Landon. I didn't get everything he did on camera, but I set the timer and when it would beep, I would find him and snap a picture.

First up, his gifts. Since we are in Seattle now, we don't have family near by so we had our own little family birthday party for him.

Event #1 : Wake up! I brought him into the living room that was decorated in streamers and balloons we have put up the night before. He had the most troubled look on his face :) But, did not waste anymore time before he began playing with them.

I love when he smile's so much that his eyes smile :)

Oh my sweet boy.

When he is tired for a nap, I never have to look far for him. This is what I see when I look down at my feet. (pic above)

My boys! I can't believe I got them both to sit still for a picture!!

I made balloon pancakes for breakfast. They didn't turn out exactly like they did in my mind, but the boys were happy. And I am pretty sure I am happy with anything drenched in butter and syrup no matter what it looks like :)

Landon is happiest when he is eating. I love his little chubby, square feet that don't fit into his shoes! Oh, I could nibble his piggies all day :)

Next I found him under the high chair. Maybe he is wishing it was lunch time? Not sure, but he does like to push his high chair around like a walker.

Next I found him under the table. Hmmm...there is a pattern forming here. He treats my table like it is a jungle gym, climbing over and under the rails. Plus, I store the lazy susan that is supposed to go on top, underneath on a board. Landon has decided that when in doubt (of anything) always sit and spin.

A little while later I found him munching a book. Everything goes into his mouth! I am sure he never even looks to see what it is first before he sucks/bites it. With 6 teeth and 2 almost in, he can do some damage!

After he sucks/bite the books however, I do find him looking at the pictures. I actually find him looking through books a lot during the day. This makes me happy :) I hope he has a love of reading.

Then it was bath time! WARNING! NAKED BOOTY!!

Ohhhh! Don't you want to pinch it and squeeze his cheeks? (the ones on his face!! What were you thinking?! ;)

Into his new birthday clothes. Isn't he handsome?? Look at his dimple on his right cheek :)

Oh my hannah!! Words cannot describe how I love this kid!!

PARTY TIME!! He was so intrigued by the flame on his candle. He wanted so badly to touch it. We tried to get him to blow it out, but that was a no go. So brother helped him out :)
