4 weeks and 1 day old

Last weekend we went to the Overland Park Botanical Gardens. Friday night on the news they were talking about it and Llon suggested that we go, so on Saturday afternoon we drove out there. It was beautiful and very peaceful, we really enjoyed just walking around. I took my camera, but forgot to take pictures. But I'm sure we will be going back out there, so I'll take some then.



Landon continues to be a pretty good baby. He is starting to eat more during his feedings which is causing him to finally gain some more weight. We haven't gone to weigh him since last week, but I know he has gained some because he is starting to get heavier and he is filling his clothes out. He still has a little ways to go before he is out of his newborn, but he is only 4 weeks old. This past week I've tried to get him to play with some of his toys when he is on his tummy, but he didn't care too much for them. He just looks around and kicks his legs. Below are some more pictures of our little man.



Landon and daddy napping.





Landon napping...it's amazing how he will just fall asleep in any position.



This was taken right before we went to bed one night, I just had to put his little slippers on him that matched his pjs. The slippers are from his cousin Parker in Houston.





Here I was trying to wake him up, but he didn't want too.




This was taken before church...just thought it was cute. :)




Here is one of his many facial expressions. I just love them all.




And here he is in his swing. For the most part he enjoys being in it and usually falls asleep.

Twice in one week

That's right, an update twice in one week!! Landon had a 3 week check up yesterday and he has finally gained some weight. His birth weight was 7lbs 10oz and he is now up to 8lbs 3 oz, he gained 9 ounces in 1 week. Good job little man!! The doctor also put him on some medicine to help with his acid reflux, so far he has been able to keep all his milk down for about 30 hours (that's at least 10+ feedings). Mommy and Daddy are very proud of their little boy.

Below are a few pictures from the last couple of days.

So far Landon seems to enjoy his tummy time. He really likes it when I put my hand on his feet so he can push off of them.


I just love this picture, it shows you how out of it Landon is when he sleeps.


Here is another one of him sleeping, Daddy took this one during our Sunday afternoon nap.


Here is daddy teaching his little boy how to pray.


Here he is on his tummy again and notice that he has shorts on. His newborn clothes are still pretty big on him, but mommy just loves his little shorts.

Update...long over due

I know, it's been way too long since I've updated this blog. So much has happen, I don't even know where to start. I will just start by saying that Llon and I got pregnant in Nov 2006 and we just had our little boy on August 1, 2007. Landon Leon (after Llon's dad) weighed 7lb 12oz and was 19 1/4 inches long. He is just precious, Llon and I could just sit and stare at him all day if we could. Landon is now almost 3 weeks old and is handling life pretty well. He is an excellent sleeper (just like his daddy). Hopefully he will keep it up, but if he doesn't it will be ok. At his 2 week appointment we found out that he has really bad acid reflex. It hadn't really been a problem until this last week, where he tends to project his vomit everywhere. We have started putting rice cereal in his milk to help thicken it up so that it will stay in his tummy. We go back to the doctor tomorrow, so hopefully the doctor will have some good advice. If anyone out there has any experience or advice on how to handle this, please let me know. When he vomits it doesn't seem to bother him, but his mommy gets really sad seeing her boy vomit. Below are some pictures of the last few weeks. Hope you enjoy and I'll try and be better about keeping everyone updated on our little man.

This was the day we brought Landon home from the hospital, his 1st time in his carseat.


Here is Llon and Landon after Landon's 1st bath in the hospital.

This is Landon after we got home, this was one of the first times that he was wide awake.

And this is our family the day after Landon was born.
