I can't help but look at him & think of the day he was born all those years ago. From the very first day he had such a sweet & loving heart. He was my cuddler, always nuzzling his head into my neck when I would hold him. When he got a little older he would toddle over to me & climb up into my lap to snuggle. He is known for giving the sweetest hugs to everyone he meets; friends, kids, adults, grandparents, his often unwilling sister, dad & me. I especially love that he doesn't care who is watching & will always give me a loving hug. I hope he doesn't ever lose that quality. I'm kinda looking forward to the big bear hugs I will get when he gets bigger.
Landon has always had endless energy. He loves to play, run, play basketball, ride bikes &

down.
Sometimes his energy causes him some problems when he has to sit & focus on something like school work but we are doing our best to help him focus.
I love his curious nature. He always wants to know how things work; taking apart pens or toy cars. And he loves to create & draw.
Someone told me this summer that God really knew what he was doing when he made me Landon's mom. I was a little caught off guard because at that exact moment I very much felt like I was failing on all fronts. Sometimes this parenting journey is so very hard. I have always believed that God doesn't make mistakes & I never questioned the fact that He chose me to be Landon's mom. Through all of life's ups & downs I am so blessed to be his mom & I would do it all over again if I could.
This picture makes me laugh because Landon has always loved food. Probably more than anything else in the world. When he was a baby we used to laugh because any time we would feed him he would close his eyes & looked like he was savoring every single bite.
Happy Birthday, to my Bud. I hope you always keep that loving spirit, sensitive heart & savor every moment of the life God has blessed you with.
