Landon Bruce Syers: Year One

Dear Landon, Landy, Lando-city, Landeesa, Lando-Bando:

It’s hard for me to believe that you are already one. This year has gone by so incredibly fast. I feel like it was just yesterday that we were bringing our 9lb. 6oz. bruiser with a full head of hair home from the hospital to sleep under the Christmas tree. How quickly you have grown into our 23 lb. bruiser with a full head of hair who now wants to pull down the Christmas tree!

You have been an absolute blessing to our family. Your smile and giggle light up the room. You are curious and get in to absolutely everything you are not supposed to…and learning how to walk only made you more dangerous! You are flexible and easy going, but you definitely enjoy getting attention. Riding high in the arms of your mom, dad, or Opa is your favorite place to be. Your hair is your trademark. We can’t go into a store without someone commenting on the color, the amount, the spike, etc. What other one year old has had five haircuts? You love balls…throwing them, chasing after them, dumping them out of baskets. Any other toys might as well be invisible. You love food. I swear there is a hole in your stomach because you would be content to eat all day every day. Milk, cheeseburgers, baby food, you name it, you devour it. You love your blankie and your paci…burying your face in your blanket is the only way to fall asleep. You have discovered your voice, although your high pitched screech doesn't exactly count as a vocabulary.

Landon, we love you so much. You complete our family, and we are blessed to call you ours. We can’t wait to see what your future holds. Happy Birthday.

I also have to add that the end of the video is quite hilarious knowing the grossness that was happening directly to the right of Landon's first sugary goodness experience. Hopefully you were able to salvage his presents:)
