Thank you Grammy Mc!

He just loves sleeping in his soft and warm swaddler. We might have to think about buying another one in case this one gets dirty.
This was what Zoe did this morning. I dont know if she was blocking the entry way for her little brother or what?....but I can only hope that a motherly instinct is kicking in.
This was his cute outfit that he wore home from the hospital it is a newborn outfit and he is almost too big for it already....I especially like this picture not only because its cute but I think its one of the only pictures where he looks like me.
My mom came over to help hold him and keep Zoe away from him when we first brought him in.
I can't imagine my life without my little boy. He is one of the best and special things that has ever happened to me besides God, and my husband Daniel.

Though Landon's Grammy Mc lives in Colorado he has taken to something she has bought him. Not only has he taken to it but Daniel and I are so glad we have it. For Christmas Grammy bought him a swaddler. I hadn't asked for one because its probably not something that a first time mom really thinks too much about not knowing how things go.
Well last night was Landon's first night home. My mom met us at the house to help us and bring us dinner because she knew it would be hard once we got him home. We had to monitor our American bulldog Zoe because we didnt know if she would try to jump at him or what. So, what a night last night was. We kept a close eye on Zoe and Landon! We all slept out in the living room and I curled up next to the Moses basket, David and Amanda let us borrow, to make sure Landon was breathing and fine.
So, back to the swaddler.... At first we just had Landons Yankee blanket wrapped around him but it wasnt tight enough so he was starting to move his hands like an angel and it was bringing the blanket up to his face. THAT was freaky! So I tucked it around him again and he managed to do the same thing.... twice was enough for me! Daniel and I took him in his room and set him on his changing table and changed his diaper closed up his warm night sleeper and then swaddled him with his swaddler. It worked out so nicely and he is so comfortable in it. I realize he is like his momma, in that we both hate to be cold! If we have to change his diaper and it gets too cold for him he gets so upset and starts to cry. So though I am still running off of hardly any sleep we got through the night thanks to Grammy Mc for buying him that swaddler. I think that if we hadn't had that Landon wouldn't have slept as well...and that would have meant even less sleep for Daniel and I.
