This is my little chunky hunky! I can not get enough of him. He is too cute. We are so in love with our son. We couldn't have asked for a better baby.
Amanda and Gracie came over today. We offered to take care of Gracie while Amanda went to the store to go grocery shopping for us. Now we know what it would be like to have twins...not so bad at all. We did great with taking care of Landon and Gracie. I should probably say Daniel did great cause I had Landon the whole time and he mainly just slept the whole time.
Daniel's little "mini me".
Another middle of the night precious picture. Daniel is so good at getting him to sleep.The day started out great! In the early morning hours my milk finally came in. Everything came easy and followed after that. It was incredible how God worked things out after all of the frustration the day before. Today Landon had his first pediatric appt. It went really well and we found out that Landon now weighs almost 9 lbs and 4 ounces! We then went from there to go and get a new pump for me at the other Walmart and I waited in the car with Landon (sleeping) while Daniel ran in. (As you can see we are getting even better at team work than ever before)
After we got home and settled Amanda and Gracie came over. Amanda had offered to do my grocery shopping for me so we offered to take care of Gracie for her to make it easier for her to shop. Daniel and I realized that over the last few days we have become good at parenting. That is another thing that God created that just comes naturally. It is amazing to us!
While Amanda was gone Daniel fed Gracie her bottle and found different ways to keep her occupied. She had become a little fussy (which is understandable) I think because she was in a house she had never seen before and doesn't know us very well. Daniel quickly got her calmed down though and kept commenting on her pretty blue eyes. I couldn't help cracking up when Daniel came up with something to keep her occupied that I called "race car". Gracie had grabbed ahold of his thumb while he was holding her and all of the sudden Daniel started moving his thumb like she was shifting and making noises that sounded like a car as if she was learning how to drive a stick shift.
After Amanda and Gracie had left we spent the rest of the day as a family just taking care of each other. I say that, yet I probably should correct myself in that Daniel mostly just took care of my every need while I held and fed Landon. Once Becca got over to the house I was able to do some laundry and clean a lot of Landon's dirty/ and new clothes that needed to be washed. Around dinner time my mom once again brought us dinner. Families from the Christian school she works at have been helping out with buying us dinners since we got home from the hospital with Landon. It has been so sweet and generous. People that we have never met want to help us. That is not only a heart of gold but shows the image of the heart of God.
So all in all this day was another gift from God. I can not tell you how blessed I feel with everything that has happened. I really couldnt ask for a more content baby. He is so easy to take care of...and I feel that I must have done something right in my life for God to have blessed me so much.
