Summer Time

Looking good and ready for summer!

Happy Baby Dance

For some reason this totally cracked Landon up the other day...you can even hear his attempt to laugh at the end when he sucks air in!

(I do apologize for the crazy mom voice)

Special Delivery

Over Memorial Day Weekend we headed out to Southern Oregon to surprise my family! It was Landon's first big trip...8 hours in the car. He did great but I couldn't believe everything we had to pack for just 5 days (stroller, bouncy chair, diapers, wipes, clothes, couple of toys, blankets, bottles, pump, extra milk, burp rags, baby monitor, etc.) I think Landon had 4 times the amount of things that we did!

It was such a fun trip and so worth the long drive in the car. My grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, brother and sister-in-law have never seen Landon in person. We also had good friends (who are like family) visiting from Ireland, so they got to meet him too!

When we got there we put Landon on the porch with a special delivery sign while we hid around the corner!

My parents were so happy to see him

And he loved Grandpa and Grandma's house

Landon got plenty of attention

Lots of attention from Grandpa too

It was love at first sight for my grandparents

Great Grandpa and Grandma Shaffer loved him too

Landon definitely loved his Uncle Trever and Auntie Anna

We feel extremely loved, spoiled and blessed to have the amazing family that we do. Leaving was quite difficult and tears were shed as we all wish there was someway to be closer.

Landon is just so precious and did such a great job in the car and being held by all sorts of "strangers". He always makes us look good and we are very thankful for his personality and temperament! I know there will be many more trips out west!

3 Months Old

I can't believe I'm already posting about Landon turning 3 months old! The last 3 months have been so rewarding and more fulfilling then we could have imagined. Here's is what our little man is up to these days:

* You are sleeping between 7-9 hours at night when I first put you down

* You still eat every 2-2 1/2 hours during the day

* You love to eat and it seems to be what you love most!

* You can sit up now with body support, you are holding your head up all by yourself

* You are awake for longer periods of time during the day and love to be talked to and played with

* You can tell now when you are by yourself or if someone is around, you don't like to be left alone when you are awake

* You are all smiles and coos when you are being talked to (you try to laugh but haven't quite figured out how, so you mostly just suck air in)

* You don't really like tummy time, but will try to "crawl" if you have something to push off of

* You always make us look good when you are with others...such a good and content baby

* You continue to be quite expressive with smiles and other facial expressions

* You are tracking items and trying to grab them, but can't quite figure out how

* You can lift your legs up and sometimes roll onto your side

* I think you are going to be a thumb sucker because you are constantly trying to figure out how to get your thumb in your mouth, but your other fingers always get in the way

* You are wearing size 3-6 month clothes...although some 3 month still fit and size 2 diaper

* You took your first 8 hour car trip to see grandpa and grandma and did great

* Your eyes are still blue and your hair is still brown

* According to our home weighing system you now weigh 14 lbs 6 oz.

We just love you so much and are excited to continue to watch you grow!
