King Penguin is 15 months old!

Today marks 15 months since Landon made his appearance in the world. He gets cuter, smarter and more interactive each day, and never fails to surprise us with his energy, affection and desire to learn. It's hard to believe that one year ago today, we were celebrating three months with our King Penguin by taking him for his first ride in the Vette.

I'm going to start a tradition of updating Landon's vocabulary and favorite lists each month on his birthday - I was a record to really show his progress, and since they say once something's posted on the Internet, it's there forever, I figure this way I can't lose my updates!

So without further ado, enjoy this month's KP Update:

He is trying to get out truck and motorcycle, but their not quite consistent yet...maybe we'll be adding them to the list by next month! 

He also understands a lot of phrases including: shut the door, peek a boo, sit down!, give me a kiss/hug, outside, do you want some milk?, come here, give that to Mommy (or Daddy, or Grammie, or Papa), take that to Mommy, no!, give me a hug. 

FAVORITES

TV Show - Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Sesame Street, The Big Bang Theory (he LOVES that jingle!) 
Songs/Jingles - Big Bang Theory theme, "We Buy Any Car" jingle, the Hot Dog Dance, No Matter What, Simple Man 

Food - the boy loves food, so this category is difficult. He loves any and all fruit, yogurt, crackers, animal crackers, gold fish, turkey, chicken, hot dogs and macaroni, but I think his favorite, hands down, is spaghetti and garlic bread! 
Thing at the park - slides - especially if he can go down himself! Merry-Go-Round. Swings 

Animal - a kitty! Although he also loves to watch birds and squirrels too, and he is always up for petting a puppy. 

Game - boo, being chased, trucks, his shapes, chasing the kitty, steal the phone or remote control 

Books - On the Night You Were Born, Mr. Brown Can Moo, Ladybug's Lesson 

NEW THINGS 

spinning himself around to get dizzy

walking around, nodding his head up and down and saying "Ma, ma, ma"

yelling to talk on the phone
trying to put on his own shoes
