After looking at a hundred recipes for hot chocolate/hot chocolate accessory ideas on Pinterest, I'm now sipping a cup of hot chocolate (made from a Swiss Miss packet, not one of the amazing recipes) and listening to Christmas music. Yes, I'm one of THOSE people who starts listening to Christmas music in October. Well, actually, September if you're going to get technical about it this year. However, I'm listening to instrumental Christmas music, Jim Brickman piano to be exact, and I feel like that's not as scandalous as say, sing along with the Rat Pack Christmas music.
But something about quiet, instrumental Christmas music makes me very nostalgic. Especially now that I'm a Mom. And pregnant. Lethal combination for nostalgia.
But I'm just sitting here thinking, how did this happen?! How is Landon THIS big?? :
It's true, Landon is OFFICIALLY walking now. We put the sticker in his calendar last Monday for "Walks Alone" because it was the first day that he started taking 5-6 steps at a time in a row multiple times that day. But on Wednesday things really clicked and now he can walk across the room! Actually the best video I've been able to capture was on my phone, so sorry for the poor quality:
What happened to my tiny baby boy that I was snuggling with for hours on end a year ago? How can I be the Mom of a little boy who's walking now?! After Landon was born I apologized to my mom for all the times I used to make fun of her for getting all sentimental about us growing up. I get it now!! But I will say, nostalgia aside, it is SO fun to watch Landon walk. He's just so pleased with himself for figuring it out that he often laughs to himself the entire time he's walking. It's adorable. And I'm so glad that he's growing up to be such a healthy and spunky little boy. He sure lights up our lives.
Something else new he figured out how to do :)

Oh, girl! I'm glad you are listening to Christmas music, because maybe I can convince Stephen to leave me alone about listening to it myself! I say, why not celebrate the birth of Christ year round?! :)
Now we have one more thing in common! I started listening to Christmas music last month too! Haha. I never used to do that until I got married. Brandon and his family are obsessed with Christmas and they play it even in the middle of the summer!
And Landon is such a cutie!!! I love the way he walks!
I have just found your blog and have loved reading.
I must say that I haven't listened to any Christmas music yet. It's still a little early for me, especially as it's been really hot here in the UK this week. Having said that - it's never too early for the Muppet's Christmas Carol movie! :)
