6 month update

Our little man is now 6 months old. We had a family weekend at the beach and he got to touch his toes to the sand for the first time. Landon is now batting and playing with toys all the time, babbling, and grinning at everyone he sees. His last weight was 16 lbs 8 oz & 26 inches long.

5 Month Update

Landon started eating baby food at about 4-5 months, and so far loves everything. He has tried squash, green beans, sweet peas, carrots, bananas, and sweet potatoes.

Here are some photos!

4 month update

Landon is getting cuter day by day. We recently got his photos done by Monica Parkonnen Photography.

3 month Update!

I haven't been good about keeping up with this because like most new parents any time I get with Landon I treasure. Most evenings are spent sharing Landon cuddle time with Kenny, preparing bottles for the next day, laundry, or bath time. We love being parents & all the new things Landon does all the time. He is now rolling over from his tummy to his back, he is much stronger as he holds up his head, and typically sleeps through the night (when it's mommy's turn to be up). Tomorrow we celebrate Father's Day with Kenny. Landon is so excited to spend the weekend with his daddy & has planned some fun events. This morning we are going to downtown Saturday Market, eating lunch at a BBQ place Kenny wants to try, then spending the evening at home grilling out and spending family time together. Landon might even get in his baby pool for the first time. Tomorrow we are taking Daddy to Embassy Suites for the Father's Day brunch then giving Ken his present. He already received one from Landon which was a picture of him posing in Daddy's tie. I've posted it below. More updates soon!

Update- 10 weeks old

So, I've been a little slack at posting on this blog. Landon keeps us very busy & we love just spending time as a family after working all day. Here are a few recent pictures of our family with Landon. He is now 10 weeks old, and up to 10 lbs 6.5 oz as of his last appointment. He is working on picking his head up better & squirms all around his crib but hasn't mastered rolling over yet. We love every minute we have together. Kenny just finished his associates program in Accounting & will be taking the summer off of school before returning to finish his bachelors. We are so proud of daddy & can't wait to spend lots of quality time together as a family this summer.

A few new photos...

Landon is already changing so much & he will celebrate his 2 week birthday tonight. This week has flown by and I'm sad thinking about the day I have to go back to work. We are starting to get into a routine as a family, although he does throw us some curve balls. We are enjoying taking care of our little man and spending time as a family.

Early Arrival

So Landon decided to make an early arrival on March 5th. I had been having contractions the weekend before and the doctor decided to put me on bed rest & meds. That didn't last very long...on Thursday night I was having lots of cramping & just tried to rest through the night & call for a doctor's appointment in the morning. As I was seated on the table waiting for the doctor to come in, my water broke. The doctor came in & said, " I think you are having a baby today!" Thankfully we already had our bags packed and were prepared for the possibility of his early arrival. Labor and delivery was nothing like I expected. We got to the hospital about noon and just before 8 pm he was born. It was not nearly as scary as I expected. Because he was early Landon had to stay in the NICU for a few days. We are so grateful for the amazing nursing staff at St. Francis. They have made this journey so much better for our family. It's been a week of many emotions, but our little man will finally be coming home with us hopefully tomorrow. I will share more pictures when I have them. Thank you all for your support of our family. We can't wait to show off our handsome Landon Kenneth!
