Landon has been especially happy over a new development in his life.
When I realized that India is VERY close (only 10 days away! That's almost a single digit number) I realized that our very long flights are also very close. Then I realized that as much as Landon loooooves eating the little Puffs, that there's no way that Puffs alone are going to keep him occupied for 17 hours on a plane (not including layovers either). So I decided that I needed to increase Landon's snack food repertoire. He whole heartedly agreed.
So off we went to the store a couple days ago, Landon happily riding in the cart with his new seat cover:

We spent way longer than is ever necessary standing in the baby food aisle at Wal-Mart as I weighed out the snack options for his age. We came home with these:
Well, he already had the Puffs. But we got the Baby Mum-Mum rice husks and the Gerber Graduates Lil' Crunchers (think Cheetos for babies) and then last night we picked up the teething biscuits at Target. Technically the teething biscuits say they're only for babies 9 months and older, but I'm contemplating just giving him one to try anyway. In my mind they would take longer for him to eat than any of his other snacks. Maybe I'll wait a few days.
He tried the rice husks first; in fact I gave him one on our drive home from Wal-Mart. Verdict: Winner! He likes the rice husks, not that anyone is surprised.
He has also tried the Lil' Crunchies and thinks those are splendid. Thankfully they dissolve pretty well because he likes to stuff the whole thing in his mouth.
All in all, Landon thinks this is a great new chapter in his life: SNACKS!
Any suggestions of other great snacks for Landon to try?

Awesome! We haven't tried any of the other teething biscuits / crunchers / crackers kind of things yet. We just do puffs, which are a hit, and we also do Cascadian Farms Purely Os (which are just overpriced organic cheerios lol).
However, we also do Happy Melts, which we love. And Gerber makes a cheaper version than the organic happybaby brand. They're just freeze dried yogurt and come in lots of flavors. you should try those.
Tracy, I love reading about Landon! He is so cute and has such a smile! The last post with the video of him losing his balance and falling over gave me a good laugh!
