Play dates and fun!











Landon loved his play date with Gracie. Another one is scheduled for next week.





Landon's new friend Manny was born exactly 3 months after him. Manny is son to my friend Trista so they will be good friends in life. They were so cute together. Landon decided he would watch Manny swing and help monitor him. Too cute!


Landon was able to spend time with friends and have a couple play dates. He is such a social butterfly already! I am so proud of him...he just loves people and getting attention. Lots of smiles for everyone!

Our boy

1 year ago I passed out at work, while pregnant with Landon, and ended up in the E.R. Right before I had passed out I could feel something come over me. I was trying to pour up models at the dental lab and things started getting dark. I wanted water but I couldnt leave what I was doing because when a model is being poured if you just step away for literally 1 minute you will have a big stoney mess to clean up. It is more work to step away than just finishing what you are doing. I was in such a predicament. I called over one of my co workers (Brent) and asked him if he could finish for me and then next thing you know I am passed out on the dirty floor of the model room. When I came to it was like everything was in slow motion. It was like all the sound around me was mute except for one of my other co workers (Kelly) yelling "SHE'S DOWN! SHE'S DOWN! SHE'S DOWN!!! I heard her on the phone calling 911 and then within about 2 minutes the perimedics were surrounding me (along with a lot of the other people that worked in the office). Everything happened so quick and come to find out my co worker Brent caught me before I passed out- possibly saving Landon's life.
This week I went back to my old work. Though I was let go, without being told that I was being "let go" I still sometimes visit and bring Landon in to show him off. It hit me when we went in on Monday though...I was like that incident happened exactly 1 year ago to this week! I saw Brent and I told Landon to say "thank you" because if it werent for him I dont know if Landon would be here and our lives would be completely different.
Today he went to school for the first time! All the kids loved him and everyone thought he was so cute! I am now wondering if the first graders are now going to go home and tell their mom's and dad's that they want a baby brother or sister. Landon also enjoyed a play date with his cousin Gracie. She didnt seem to know what to do when he wanted to nurse off of her. He wanted to suck on her arm and he started pulling her shirt down. Hopefully he will out grow that stage soon because that would not be good when he really does start school.
I dont know what I would do without Landon. He is such a sweetheart. I love him more and more everyday.

Landon....what a wonderful little boy! Lately he has mastered his new skill of rolling over. It looks like it is so easy for him now. He is now spitting. I have always hated spit but when he does it I think it is so cute. It is like he is trying to do something with his lips together but ends up having spit come out. He is now trying to grab everything on his changing table. He grabs the baby wipes and pulls them onto himself...I move them, then he'll grab something else... the diaper rash cream, or his clothes. He has somewhat gone back to peeing while I am changing him. He doesnt do it every time but he did it twice last night...and sometimes he manages to get me. It's gross but kind of funny cause sometimes he does it and then gets this smile on his face and kind of laughs a small laugh. I cannot get over how cute he gets. Its like he gets cuter and cuter everyday. Can he get any cuter? I am so proud of him and love him so much.

It's done


Yay! It's done! The house is officially for sale! We have been so grateful for this house but its time to move on and get something newer and safer for Landon.

Cutie pie

Sweet little boy!







Landon is such a joy as you can see from the pictures. He loves to stand! I didnt want him doing that too much but I found out from the Dr. the other day that crawling isnt necessarily necessary so if he wants to stand he can and it wont effect his development as long as I'm not forcing him. Its cute because if he has both of my hands he will use them and pull himself up. Once he is standing he is so proud of himself! He will stand there with the biggest smile on his face and loves it when I chant and cheer him on making a fool of myself as I probably annoy my poor husband. Daniel has to wear earplugs every time he showers since he has a perforated eardrum so when Landon got an ear infection Landon got his own earplugs for bathtime. He didnt like his new earplugs getting formed to his ears but we need to be cautious...that ear infection was not fun and we felt bad for him!
Landon is now teething but it hasnt become too bad so far. Bedtime has become a lot easier (knock on wood for me) for the moment so I am happy about that.
Landon is such a sweetheart...we love hearing him laugh and he brings us lots of smiles each day.
