The Mobley Family

November 17th, Landon celebrated his first birthday. What a big man! We had so much fun watching him on Saturday. We had a small party for him here in Fort Wayne. On Friday the 16th, my good friend Emily and her Husband and son Ethan came up to help me prepare and give the boys a chance to play together.

He seemed to think that he was to get ALL that was in the giver's basket, so with some encouragement, we were able to distract him and move on to the next house. Let's see, what else. Landon and I are taking a "mommy and me" swim class at the Y.M.C.A. Landon LOVES the water; takes after his daddy. I suppose you could consider it swim lessons. They teach the babies (6 months-2 years) to move their arms and kick their legs and jump off the sid
