Cub Scouts and 15 month olds...

With Brayden turning 8, that meant the beginning of Cub Scouts. Which also meant the beginning of an era... I now sew patches onto a scout uniform. Having 3 boys... I dare say that I will quickly become and expert at sewing on scout patches over the next several years.
He was so excited to start scouts. He has loved it so far. 
Doesn't he make a cute little Cub Scout?!?!?!


In other news around our house, Landon has turned 15 months old. He is just growing up way to fast for my liking, but is such a dang cute little guy that I might forgive him for that. 
Some things about him right now...
-he says exactly one word, "hi" but it sounds more like "eyyyyyyyiiiiiiii" when he says it.
-he loves to throw stuff in the trash can
-he gets very excited if you ask him if he wants to go bye-bye, he will run to the garage door. If you ask if he wants to go upstairs, he will run and climb onto the first step.
-he is a little tornado, destroying everything in his path. If he can reach it, he wants it on the floor.
-he likes to pick his own snacks from the pantry. And if by chance the pantry door gets left open by his older brothers... well, it's a free for all as far as he's concerned!!!

-he's still very much a momma's boy!
-he has the cutest little run
-he is still super ticklish on his ribs and will laugh and laugh if you tickle him there.
-loves to wear and hold Daddy's hats
-is already starting the terrible 2's... this should be fun!
-loves to play in his big brother's room and find each and every Lego, Bakugan, or Beyblade part that they didn't get picked up. He's super helpful that way!
-doesn't like us to feed him, he wants to do it himself. Another independent child...
-his favorite foods are apple juice, Nurta-Grain Bars, Nilla Wafers, bananas, and granola bars.
-he will bring me a diaper if I ask him if he has poops
-he is scared to try to go down the stairs by himself
-he really hates it when you tell him "no" and gets either a super sad face that makes me laugh, or a super mad crying face that makes me roll my eyes.
-he has 10 teeth, two of which are his top molars he just got before Christmas.
-he has a crazy obsession with remotes and phones. He does anything and everything he can to get one in his hot little hands!
-if you ask him for "loves" he'll come and put his head on you... it's his version of a hug I guess, but it's super cute... especially when he does it to his brothers after accidently hurting them or something. So sweet!
-he loves to play try to play catch with any ball he sees
-I don't have too many good (at least as good as I'd like) pictures of him right now because the kids just doesn't sit still! Such is the life of a busy little boy!!

I love this age. So many fun things to watch as they learn and discover their little world. He just cracks me up on a daily basis. And lately, on the tough days when my world around me gets too much, his little "loves" or smile make all the difference!!!

He constantly is doing something funny...
The other day I was making lunch for him and Conner, and I hear him start screaming like something has happened. I search around for where the screams are coming from and I find him trapped in the diaper box. He'd tried to sit on it, but it was almost empty, so he fell in. I just laughed and ran to get the camera before I helped him out. I'm a great Mom like that!!


At Thanksgiving... one night we decided to get some ice cream cones. He was VERY upset that we all got one and he didn't. And he let us know of his strong opinion on the matter. So we shared to make it up to him.

I would have taken a picture before I helped him out of the box too. Don't you just love those scout patches?!
