We had such fun watching Landon be Landon at his 1st birthday party! Shortly after everyone arrived he took it upon himself to initiate the present opening as he started to tear open the paper on a large gift that was sitting on the floor (right at his level!). He seemed to enjoy tearing some of the paper back and seeing what was inside of the packages.
Of course Caleb and Tessa were right in on all the action, and helping Landon to 'break in' his new toys before they were even out of their boxes. The good thing is they all took turns and had fun playing with them together, without the usual toddler sharing drama :)
When it came time for the cake Landon dove right in without hesitation. I suppose it helps that he had bit of practice on his actual birthday with a carrot cake cupcake...

 |
| I think Landon felt like one of the big kids in his new little car. He was bouncing and grinning from ear to ear. |
 |
| Caleb and Tessa took turns pushing Landon around the loop of the kitchen and living room for probably 15 minutes |
 |
| Here he goes with his cake... And Caleb was ready for his cupcake - he knew they had bright blue frosting so he asked me to take off his shirt so he could have one! |
 |
I think Landon admires Gio and Bella (Papa and Nonni's dogs) a little too much... There have been numerous occassions when he has tried to stick his face right into a bowl of food or a cup of water to get it, just like he sees the dogs do! He applied the same technique during some of his birthday cake consumption.

Outfit number 2, post cake-eating...
He was having a great time climbing in and out of his booster seat alone. |
