Cleveland Children's Museum

This last weekend Landin got to go and spend some time with his cousin Ava.  Ava took us to this awesome children's museum (Moms in the area...GO!). 

This place had so much stuff going on that a kid could spend all day in there...no joke! The first room we went into was a giant room of sand!  They had shovels and dinosaurs and wheelbarrows...it was amazing!  Well if you know our little Landin you know now that he has sensory input issues.  He HATED the sand!  It took a lot of work to get him to go in it and it lasted about....2 minutes.

The next couple of rooms had a grocery store, a bus (wish I would of gotten a picture of this), and a kitchen.  I love this picture because even though the background is a blur it reminds me so much of Landin. So busy and fast!

Here is his cousin shopping like your typical girl!  She was a HUGE fan of the shopping :)

Now the next room was hands down one of Landin's favorite.  It was giant watertables!  He wanted to spend the whole day in this part.

Thank you cousin Ava for a fun filled day at the museum!  We love you!

Bath Time...

Landin loves his bathtime!  I swear the kid could stay in the water all day if we let him.  In these cold months, I think it is something fun for him to do.  Well these neat little bath paints have brought a whole new experience to Landin's tub time.

His face now looks like this when he is busy working...

And when he is done, he looks like this :)

To be a kid again :)

"Cheese"

Does it get any cuter than this?!  I am telling you the kid loves to cook and bake and clean.  I guess I can deal with the temper tantrums for a little bit of that :)

Some leftover pictures.  I promise I am going to get better at this in 2010.

It's Playtime

I had two weeks off at Christmas and it was my goal to do something fun with Landin everyday.  During the work week we are pretty lame and just stay at home so I told myself this week was going to be different.
One of the things I wanted to do was take him to It's Playtime!  It is an indoor play area for younger children and he loved it!  So much for them to do and really cheap.

In these first two photos, Landin was climbing up this giant slide (with three individual slides).  He was having so much fun that I didnt' even notice until he came down that he had a bloody lip!  Some little kid kicked him the mouth on accident.

In the room they had about 20 different cars that you could ride on and Landin stuck to this one like glue.  He is so cute!

And what is a day without a little cooking.  I promise he is going to be a good husband one day.  He even likes to clean :)

Christmas 2009

Christmas was so much fun this year!  Landin was definitely more into it this year than last.  Every present that he opened was a big "ohhhhhh" and then he would have to completely open it and play with it.  I believe each family Christmas took about 4 hours for just his presents.  I am not even kidding when I say this kid was SPOILED!  He received so many presents that I put some away for his birthday. 

This first picture is Landin climbing up on teh box and peering over because he was so excited!  He just kept screaming "Ohhhhh" and "Ewwwww".  Notice we had a wardrobe change mid Christmas party too.  I think the kid strips down to his diaper every Christmas at the Zern's.
