Almost 8 weeks old

I can't believe that our little boy is going to be 8 weeks old this week. He is just growing up too fast. He weighed in this week at 10lbs 12.5oz and 24inches long. We had a busy week last week. Llon had an ortho interview in Iowa City and Landon and I decided to tag along with him. The interview went really well for Llon and he was impressed with the program. We spent some time and walked around the town one evening. It's not a very big town but we liked it. It is a true college town and you can just feel the support the town gives to the university. Who knows if we will end up there or not, we are just praying that God will lead us to where He wants us to be. Here are some pictures from Iowa (the first couple are us in the hotel, but they are still cute) and others from earlier in the week.






This picture didn't turn out exactly like I thought it would, it was much cutier in person. Today after church Llon was holding Landon and Landon was just laughing at him.


We decided to try out Landon's bumpo chair to see if he was big enough and he was. He looks so cute just sitting there.

Here he is waving to tell everyone 'Hello'


Landon is still enjoying his bathtime. Here he decided to play with the bubbles.

Smiling Face and more...

So for the past few days (or maybe it's been a week now...time is flying by :) ) I've been wanting to get a picture of Landon smiling. He smiles so much now and I want to share it with our friends and family who don't get to see Landon very often. Below are a few of the smiles I have captured.


This one is actually from a young marrieds retreat that Llon and I went on the last 2 days. It was Landon's first time to stay the night in a hotel. He got a whole queen size bed all to himself!


This is my attempt to get him to play with his toys. Usually it just consists of me sitting his toys all around him and making them dance in front of his face. He doesn't have too big of a reaction yet, he just stares at them. It was really cute last week when I was making his frog talk to him and dance, the facial expressions that he had were so funny. It's like he was thinking "What are you doing Mr. Frog"


So lately Landon we have been having this problem with Landon where he poops right through his diapers. It's funny b/c the majority of the time he poops on daddy. One time he managed to poop all over daddy's shirt and shorts, but didn't get a spot on his own clothing...it was amazing b/c it was a lot of poop on daddy. The picture below is from last week when I just got through feeding him and I sat him down for only a minute to wash up and when I turned around this is what I saw. (I know...I know, it's funny that I would even take the time to take a picture and let my poor son sit with poop all over him. But I knew the story wouldn't be as good without the picture...I needed evidence so that you wouldn't think that I was exaggerating).

Landon just loves his bathtime, it makes him so relaxed. This one time he actually fell asleep while we were bathing him. It was funny b/c no matter how much water we put on him, he wouldn't wake up.

Last week the 'fam' went on our first walk around the neighborhood. Llon decided that he would just wear his carrier instead of getting the stroller out. Landon isn't quite big enough for it, usually his head is covered up by the carrier. But we rigged it up so that he could look around. He enjoyed the walk for oh...about 10 mins and then back asleep he went. We haven't found anything yet that doesn't put him to sleep. :)

These are just some random pictures of Landon that I thought everyone would enjoy. Just a quick update on Landon. I can't remember if I posted this already, but as of 1.5 weeks ago Landon weighed 9lbs 15.5oz. I can't believe our little boy is getting so big...Dr. Nelson will be so proud of him. Before we left for the retreat on Friday, Landon official slept in his big boy crib 3 nights in a row. It was really hard on mommy and daddy to transition him into his room...but we knew it would be for the best. Landon didn't seem too mind at all, he actually is sleeping an extra hour. I'm not really sure why it was so hard for us to put him in the other room...it just felt like our little man is growing up and already doesn't need us as much. Landon continues to be an excellent sleeper (this he definately gets from his daddy!!). We usually put him to bed between 9-10pm and the first time he gets up is around 3-4pm (expect for the past 3 nights when he has lasted till 5am) and then he goes back to sleep until about 7 or 8am. Hopefully he will continue to keep this up. Landon is getting so good about holding his head up and really focusing on things...when we talk to him now, he actually looks at you and has some kind of cute expression.

Road Trip to Tulsa

Llon and I made a last minute decision to go to Tulsa this past weekend with Landon. This was his first road trip and he was an excellent little boy. On the way back yesterday we didn't even have to stop, he slept pretty much the whole way. Great Grandma and Grandpa got to see Landon and so did Uncle Travis and Aunt Keri for the first time. We were also able to get all the cousins together. It was so fun having them all together. Someday Landon will be able to play with them. I thought I had more pictures than this to share, but I must have taken most of the pictures with my grandpas camera. Enjoy the pictures below.
