First Six

My little dude is halfway to his 1st birthday, 6 months old today. For 6 whole months this little dude has been gracing the world with his presence....crazy unruly hair and all. Trust me there's no taming that hair...and I wouldn't want to, it's part of his overall character and style.

Do you like his dice? He's a high roller. LOL! So he's 6 months old which means we've had him for 4 months. What a ride it's been. It's gone quick. I blinked and we were to this point. What all does he know you ask?...

- He knows plenty of commands like: focus, sit, wait, etc. He can also shake hands and give a high five.
- He's fully potty trained. He's even been trained to a bell to ask to go outside, since we don't have a doggie door.
- Gets along with his sister better each day. Although the delay there was on her not him.
- He's well-behaved when we leave.
- He's been trained to stay away from us when we eat. He usually naps during dinnertime.
- In recent weeks I now fully trust him to hang out in the living room while I prepare meals in the kitchen.
- He walks well on his leash. He was recently taught his right and left too. He walks only on the right.
- He's a good little sleeper at night, has been since we brought him home.
- He has learned what is expected of him rather quick. I'm quite impressed. Not bad for his first 6 months.

I know I'm biased but I believe he has one of the cutest little personalities. Pictures don't do him justice because not enough of his cute personality comes across in a photo. He's such a happy little dude. Walks with a springy bounce to each step.  

I think it's nearly impossible to not compare him to his two predecessors. Actually this morning we had a short conversation about who Landon reminds us of more, Cody or Simon? The answer is...both. There are hints here and there of Cody and Simon in this little dude. The comparisons are short and sweet though...he is Landon. He's got his own style going on!
