Landon - 14 Years!

Landon, my first born, is officially fourteen!  One more year and we'll be thinking about driving.  I know I say it all the time, but it's crazy how long the days are, but on the other hand, how short the years are.  Landon is a typical "first-born".  He's a rule-follower (at least as far as I know). He usually observes more than participates.  And he also has a heart of gold.  I love that boy more than life itself.  The teenage years haven't been that bad so far, but I know we have a ways to go.  Basically, puberty has made him revert back to how he was as an infant.  If he's grumpy, make him sleep or eat and that usually solves it! Seriously, he's a great kid and I couldn't ask for better.

At 14, Landon:
-weighs 111.2 lbs (45%)
-is 5'5" tall (61%)
-wears Adult Small clothes
-went from a size 6.5 to 10.5 shoe in 3 months time!
-has narrowed down to only playing baseball with school
-still plays Rec basketball
-wants a Jeep when he turns 16
-wants to be a Physical Therapist and go to ECU
-can't wait to be an adult so he can eat as many Little Debbies as he wants (ha!)
-has started working out at the hospital gym and loves it
-has started riding to school with me again..feels weird after so many years of not taking him
-has adjusted well to high school

I think Landon will go far in life.  I can't wait to see what roads he travels down as he gets older and starts to make some real life decisions.  It's so weird how as a parent, you don't want them to grow up, but you can't wait at the same time.  Such conflicting emotions.  Landon, I love you more than you love those cold Little Debbies.
