Birthday Fun

On Monday Jared celebrated his 29th birthday!!! I also started back to work on Monday (Boo!) so we celebrated over the weekend with some friends.

Here's to the birthday boys

(Brett's birthday is one day after Jared's)

We saw Iron Man 2 in the IMAX theatre with the Butler's and Searcy's

Isn't Annie cute?!

She is due with a little boy at the end of July...can't wait to meet him!

Yummy steak dinner for the birthday boy

Happy Birthday to You!

The two best things to ever happen to me!

I love you babe!

Happy Birthday!

Cousins

At this point Landon only has one first cousin...but she sure is a cutie! She is so great with him and gives him plenty of lovin'. Now when we see her it is no longer "Uncle Jared, Aunt Rhonda!" it is "Landon!"...we've been replaced! She loves to read to him, sing to him, talk to him, hug him, kiss him...

A couple weeks ago I let her hold him and she was super excited.

I think he looks like a little doll in these pictures!

I have such good memories with my cousins and am excited for Landon to have the same adventures with his!

2 Months Old

It seems like we just hit the 1 month mark and now I am already posting about 2 months! Hopefully I can keep up on monthly posts, mostly because I think it is fun to reflect on the new things that Landon can do and have those memories. We also had his 2 month appointment yesterday when he got his vaccinations :(

The doctor said he is doing really well and right on target developmentally, woo hoo!

This isn't the best of pictures but it is the only recent one I had!

Plus it shows how much he LOVES his changing table!

He is always happy when his diaper is getting changed!

* You have started to sleep longer at night and usually give me a 4-5 hour stretch at first, followed by a 3 hours stretch and then a 2 hour stretch

(One night last week you slept for 6 hours from 9-3!)

* You have fallen into somewhat of a routine taking a longer nap during the morning and in the afternoon, with little cat naps here and there. By about 8:45 you are always ready for bed

* Your favorite sleep position is now your tummy, which I let you nap on at least once a day. You also love sleeping on your side with your hands up in your face.

* You eat every 2 1/2 to 3 hours during the day and take about 3-4 oz.

* You are wearing size 2 diapers and wear 3 month clothes

* You are definitely smiling purposefully and seem like you are attempting to laugh when something really tickles you

* You respond to voices and love being talked to (especially on your changing table)

* You are cooing much more, I love talking back and forth with you carrying on our own conversation!

* You are still a little cuddle bug and love to be held tight on our chest, especially when falling asleep

* You get VERY grumpy right before you go down for a nap or bed

* Although you are still a bit of a bobble head, your neck is much stronger and you can support your head when we support your body. You can also move your head back and forth whether on your back or belly.

* You like being read to and looking at the bright pictures in books

* You also like listening to music, kicking your legs or waving your arms when lying on your back

* You weigh 12 lbs 9 1/2 oz (90th percentile) and are 24 1/2 inches long (75th percentile)

What a blessing you continue to be day by day!

Handsome Man

There hasn't been a whole lot going on lately...hence the lack of new posts.

I know that my family loves seeing new pics of Landon so here are some of my favorite outfits he has.

I'm sad though because he is getting so big that some aren't going to fit him much longer :(

These are some of my favorite jammies on him...they even have little monkey feet!

I bought this from Baby Gap before we knew if we were having a boy or girl.

I loved the guitars since Jared plays the guitar.

This picture is a little dark, but he looked so darn cute sleeping in his collared shirt

One of the first warm days of the year, we busted out the shorts

(Thanks Shannon for the hand-me-down)

Easter outfit...he also had on the cutest brown cords

Baby dedication day

Also, one of the best family photos to date!

Rocking the BSU gear with dad.

I know this won't be the last time, especially once Fall rolls around (the fan was right above him and was much more interesting than the camera!)

This is probably my all time favorite outfit so far!

I know that little girls have dresses, tights and other cute clothes, but so far Landon has been fun to dress!

He just needs to stop growing so fast so that I can get more use out of his clothes!!!

Abortion Website

A friend of mine has started a website that looks at abortion in a Christ centered manner, attempting to expose facts and encourage pro-life. The site is still in its early stages but is very informative. Please visit this site and encourage others to do so as well in order to bring more attention to abortion and help give a voice to these unborn lives.

Nap Time

This has become Landon's new favorite way to nap.

He L.O.V.E's sleeping on his stomach.

Don't worry....

I only let him nap like that during the day when I can check on him often enough to know that he is still breathing :)

Leave me alone...I'm trying to sleep!!!

Expressions

I haven't been around a lot of babies for long periods of time, but to me Landon is very expressive. He has a ton of different facial expressions from smiling to kissing to raising his brow. When we were taking pictures of him at 1 month old he had some really cute looks. These are some of my favorites:

"Oh"

"Oooh"

Half Grin

Smiley

Happy Boy

He's very expressive with his fingers and hands too...always has them by his face

Beginnings of a kissy face

Kissy Face

Content

He is just so cute and is changing everyday, adding new expressions and mannerisms.
