How time flies!





This is Landon's last week of Mother's Day Out. I am sad for a couple of reasons. The first is the obvious reason... I loose my 11 hours of freedom each week. The second is because he was only 18 months old when he started. Now he's almost 2 1/2. Where did the time go? 

Several people in the last couple of weeks have commented on how he is not looking like a baby any more but more like a little kid. Not even a toddler! It truly makes me so sad. Jeremy and I were looking at baby pictures of him last night and it hit me at how quickly he has grown up. I don't even remember him being that little. His independence shows through more and more each day and with it are the obvious challenges. But he is my little buddy and keeps me company during the day when Jeremy is at work. It is strange that I can carry on conversations with him and he completely understands. The guilt is hitting me harder each day as Keaton's arrival draws near. My only baby will be a big brother and my time with him will be split between two kids. I am excited about Keaton getting here, but I often wonder how I am going to show Landon that I love him as much as Keaton when most of my attention will be devoted to the little brother? I'm sure we will work it out like every parent with more than one child do. 

The video is of him counting before he jumps to my mom in the swimming pool. He kind of tends to skip 11 -13 but you get the idea. I thought the floaties and life vest were a little over kill at first but if you saw him in the water, you'd understand. There is no fear, which makes his mother scared! Make sure you turn off the music at the bottom of the screen or you can't hear him. Enjoy the trip down memory lane!
