Visitors & Lots of Pictures

a serious looking Landon...this is a face we don't see very often

We have lots of pictures since our last post.  We've been meaning to update for about a week and the pictures of cute little Landon just keep adding up.  Aunt Cara has been here for a little over a week, and will be heading home this coming Monday.  Grandma & Grandpa McQuality came out over Memorial Day weekend to spend time with Landon.

Landon is changing everyday, he is smiling more all the time, and is a very happy baby.  Landon is very alert, he turns his head to find noises all around him.  He continues to sleep through the night, getting up around 6 to eat and then going back to sleep until after 9.  We are blessed to have such a good little boy.

Daddy is a Cubs fan, and Mommy a Cardinals fan, so Daddy made this shirt so no one is mad!

Mommy & Daddy both agree...go Illini!

It was so warm and nice over Memorial Day weekend.  Landon was in his shorts, sandals, floppy hat, and sunglasses (keep scrolling down)

This was Daddy's Lacoste outfit from when he was a baby.  We waited a little too long to put it on Landon, it was a little tight on his belly.

Since the Cardinals swept the Cubs last week, Mommy won and got to dress Landon in his Cardinals outfit.

There's those sunglasses!  Let's hit the beach

Landon and Grandpa were exhausted!

Hi Grandma!

For Grandma's birthday Landon made her stepping stones with his footprints in them.

Landon straining his neck to see his favorite new toy...the lights from the TV

Look how big he is...he can stand up on those strong legs!!

Update and Landon's favorite things

Hey everyone!  We haven't updated lately, so we wanted to fill you in on what is going on with us.  I had to go back to school this past week, which was not fun at all.  Luckily, I get to come home during the day to feed Landon on my free period, so that is really nice.  I leave home around 7 or 7:15, come home to feed him at 9:45 for about a half hour and am home between 2 and 3.  So, at least I am not away from Landon for too long and I only have 15 more days of school!  Landon also started to basically sleep through the night last week, so that is very helpful, especially now that I am back at work.  Landon hangs out with his daddy during the day and me when I get home.  Hopefully it is the best of both worlds for him! His Aunt Cara is coming to visit him tomorrow for a week or so and he is excited to hang out with her as well!  He will already be 10 weeks old this week.  It is crazy how fast the time has gone!  Here are a few pics of our sweet Landon for you to enjoy.  He is such a good baby! - We are very lucky!

That is all we can think of for now.  Have a great week everyone and we will update soon!

2 Month Shots :(

Today Landon went for his 8-week check-up and two month shots.  The doctor said he is thriving and she doesn't need to see him again until he is four months old.  He has gained 6 1/2 pounds and grown 4 inches since he was born.  He is in the 90th percentiles for his height and weight!  Mommy had a hard time with Landon's shots today, but he did pretty well.  He cried for about five minutes and then was okay.  Tonight he has been a little tired, but is a happy baby when he is awake.  He has been all smiles, so hopefully the shots won't bother him too much.  He is smiling more and more every day and it is so cute!

Ouch!  They thought they grabbed neon bandaids but Landon has 3 pink camo ones!!

Landon and Daddy were worn out after getting shots

Landon's Grandma's love him!

This sure doesn't look like it would be comfortable

Landon loves the wall behind our couch...here's a video of him checking it out

No News, Just Pictures

Not much news to update this time, just wanted to get some new pictures of Landon up.  He goes to the Dr. on Wednesday for his 2 Month checkup/shots.  We will post more after that.  Have a great week!

We put together Landon's big swing this week, he seems to really like it

Trying out the Bumbo, still a little small for it

Landon is all smiles in his crib when he wakes up each morning
