A Visit From the Girls & First Cold

My friends came this past weekend to meet Landon and hang out with me.  It was great seeing them. We just hung out and talked.  They also took me out for a birthday dinner!  Next to Landon and I in the picture is Meghan, Autumn and Brittany.  Thanks for coming to visit!

This picture is for Aunt Cara...she bought Landon this outfit and it says, "Auntie loves me this much!"  So cute!

Landon had to go to the doctor yesterday.  He has his first cold.  It doesn't really seem to bother him, but it bothers me a lot.  He has trouble breathing and I hate it, but I think he is getting better.  He is too little to take any medicine, so all we can do for him is give him Saline nose drops, which he doesn't like.  The doctor said the best medicine for him is the breastmilk because it has all the nutrients that he needs.  She also said that he shouldn't drink any stored milk right now and that I should always feed him.  This actually helps me out because I was supposed to go back to school today because my six weeks is up (I can't believe Landon is six weeks old already).  I went to the doctor today and she said that I am all healed and she cleared me to go back to school.  However, since Landon needs me to feed him, the pediatrician wrote me a note to stay home with him.  He goes back to the doctor on May 6 for his 2-month check-up and his shots, so I will be home with him until at least then!  I couldn't imagine going back to work tomorrow and leaving him when he is so little and sick, so this at least gives me a couple more weeks home with him!  I wish I never had to go back to work.  It will be so hard to leave this cute, little guy!

1st Easter & One Month Pictures

On Friday, Grandma & Grandpa Bruce came to visit Landon.  Saturday he turned 1 Month Old!!  We can't believe it has been a month already.  He is starting to smile more and more, and getting bigger everyday.  Sunday Landon went to church and celebrated his first Easter.  The Easter Bunny brought him a basket with a basketball rattle, baseball toy, tag ball, and a picture album that he can play with while looking at pictures of all his friends and family.  He also had an Easter basket from Grandma & Grandpa.  Monday afternoon we took Landon to get his 1 Month pictures taken.  He did a great job, and it was very tough to decide which pictures we wanted.  He is looking forward to seeing Britany again this weekend, and meeting Meghan and Autumn for the first time.  Kelsey is also very excited to see her friends.

Landon's Week of Firsts

Well, we missed out posting for Landon's week 3 update (he will be 4 Weeks old tomorrow).  I was trying to switch our background template from the St. Patrick's Day theme we had.  The site was having problems taking the new template we wanted.  So for now, we've settled for this until we can get the new one to work.  Landon has had a busy week full of firsts.  We went to the Dr. last Wednesday for his 3 Week Checkup.  He weighed 11 pounds, and had grown another inch to 22!!  We couldn't believe it.  The dr. gave the ok for Kelsey to start pumping and Matt got to feed Landon his first bottle.  Then on Friday morning, we gave Landon his first real bath in his little tub.  Friday afternoon, we left and drove back to Illinois to see our family for a few days, so that Landon could meet all of his Great Grandparents, and Great Aunts and Uncles.  Landon was great in the car for the 7 hour trip.  He slept the whole way, we only stopped to feed and change him 3 times.  Then after sleeping for 8 hours, he slept great that night too.  We are headed home on Thursday, and then Kelsey's parents are coming to Ohio this Friday for the Easter weekend.  I wonder what the Easter Bunny will leave in Landon's basket??  Have a great Easter.
