Hi! It's my birthday! Isn't it exciting?

Didn't you hear?? It's my birthday! Don't make me come out of the screen to get you!

To celebrate, Mom is letting my write this blog post, so I wanted to share some of my favorite memories of the last six months.  Here we go!

I was born on June 14, 2011 at 8:31 a.m. Mom says she couldn't wait to get me out of her. But even as a newborn, I was adorable. No cone-head for me!

Everything was so new and fun. But every once in a while, I still got overwhelmed. So I learned to hide under my blanket. It's a scary world out there!

Even at an early age, I learned that Mom loves a good cuddle. So Huey, Panzer and I all snoozed on Mom in the afternoon.

It wasn't just Mom who got cuddle - Dad is warm and soft too, so I liked to hang out on his arm. 

As the weather got cooler, my clothes changed a little bit. Grammie and Mommy didn't want me to get too cold!

I am a bit of an early bloomer. I'm an overachiever in the tooth department, since I got TWO teeth at once when I was 3 months old. (I'm also teething again now - what a great present for Mom and Dad!) I also wanted to learn to sit up really early too - the first time I pulled myself up (and then fell over) was so much fun, I had to smile instead of fuss. 

No one can accuse Mom and Dad of not taking enough pictures of me. Sometimes they take too many. "Hey man, back up off my grill! Enough is enough!"

Huey is still a little wary of me - especially ever since I started rivaling him in the size department. 

I didn't understand the the fuss over Halloween - it's not like Mom and Dad would let me have any candy! All I wanted was a Reese's Cup - so I was the saddest penguin ever.

Mom is still a big fan of cuddle. So my brothers and I try to accomodate her as much as possible. Don't we look cozy?

Grammie has two little puppies - I like them a lot. But I REALLY loved Aunt Tammy's Great Dane. She was sooo big and sooo fun to pet! I told Mom and Dad that I want a big puppy for Christmas. Do you think Santa will leave one in my stocking?

I've had a great (and Mom says a fast!) six months on Earth, and I'm ready for even more fun! 

Happy Six Month Birthday, Landon! Mom and Dad love you more than you'll ever know, Little Penguin.
