First trip to the zoo!






Today was the last day to get into the zoo for free! If you were to show your fry's VIP card you could get 2 adults into the zoo free. Babies are free too! So our little family of 3 all were free! So we pushed Landon around the zoo in his stroller. I dont know if I saw many animals, since they are kind of camouflage, but Daniel and I enjoyed it and enjoyed the fact that Landon was being so good! We enjoyed watching the monkeys as Landon slept in his stroller. They were too cute...it looked like a husband/wife monkey couple and it looked like the wife was going through her husband's hair picking out the bugs and eating them and he relaxed on the ground...loving her playing with his hair. It was so cute! Anyways, we had a good time and I hope you enjoy our pictures of our little family zoo trip.

Busy Busy



Landon gets a good view of his Mommy driving when we are in the car, now that he has his nice fancy car seat.



Landon's Daddy's rocking horse. Landon is still a little too small. Note: my hand to the side ready to catch him if he fell.
Apple juice bottle! One of Landon's favorites!
Landon's favorite stuffed animal at Grandma and Grandpa's house. The singing Alphabet ducky!


My lack of blogging is from my lack of time and being kind of busy. Landon is now well so hopefully I will be a better blogger. Hope I can catch everyone up with this blog.
So let's see what's new? Landon is getting his 2 bottom teeth in!!! Shortly after I saw the first one I started seeing the second! The first has already broken through the gums but I think his second is still working its way through. Those little guys are sharp, but so far he isn't shredding me apart at feeding time. I am so thankful for that!
Lately, I have been spending my nights out on the couch with Landon. I have decided that I just need to pick my battles. I have Landon in his crib for a little while and then when it seems like he doesnt want anymore (or that I just want to go back to sleep) I will just bring him out on the couch and sleep sitting up with him on his comfy boppy pillow. When I sleep with him on the couch he sleeps really well and will sleep for about 9 or 10 hours a night. I dont know why it is but now for some reason it's not really a sleep issue for me...I have a new issue and that is when I sleep on the couch I am now waking up with my throat- not- so- happy. I think it has to do with either the air conditioning finding its way into my mouth while I am sleeping sitting up..or may it's just the way I have my head resting back as I sleep. I'm not quite sure. It's just too bad that now that I'm used to sleeping on the couch and Landon getting sleep from what I am doing that now I have a throat issue when I wake up. Oh well.
Let's see ..... a Landon love? That would be apple juice!....Landon loves watered down apple juice. Now 2 days in a row I have given him his juice and he has drank about 3 1/2 ounces in one sitting! That's quite a bit for a little boy. What I do is I put it in his little infant feeding bottles (2 ounce plastic hospital bottles) and he drinks it right up. He wasn't too happy with me tonight when I had to take the bottle away to get him a refill. Why wait?! He wanted it NOW!
The little Landon tidbits of what he is doing.....he is scooting. I have found him to have moved about 2 feet without any help! And he is now enjoying baths in the kitchen sink. It is so much easier for me to bathe him that way, plus he loves the kitchen sprayer. Getting sprayed on the pesty little baby teeth is a highlight of his bathtime.
Today he was able to see my friend Nate again. Nate was one of my best friends my junior and senior year. He helped me through a rough time in my life and I am so glad I am still friends with him today. Landon seemed to get along with him really well too. When we went to the park Nate was showing him different things of nature, like a pinecone....the texture of a tree, etc. When Nate gave Landon back to me, Landon reached his arms back to Nate and wanted Nate to hold him again. It was too cute. He then got to see grandma and then on to see his cousin Lukey and Aunt Melody. What a big day....ya for him too! Mommy needs to turn in, but I hope I was able to kind of catch you up on Landon's latest.

6 month pictures!






So Daniel and I tried taking Landon out to Anthem to take pictures of him yesterday (Labor Day) for his 6 month pictures. I dressed him up all cute and then we got out to Anthem and he was tired and had a diaper blow out in the car! I didnt quite get the shots I wanted. Well, today we went back out and my pictures turned out great! Maybe I should start taking pictures and be a partial professional.....I dont know...maybe not. I thought these turned out pretty good though. I love Landon's blue eyes...not to mention his cute chubby body and sweet smile. Happy 6 month my little Landon love!
