Cereal, update and new pictures

Hey everyone! Sorry it has been awhile since we have updated the blog. Time just seems to fly by lately. I can't believe the summer is over and I have to go back to school this week. The good news is that I get to go part-time. That means that I will teach the first three periods a day. So, I will teach from 7:40-10:30 every day and then I will get to spend the rest of the day with Landon! I am so excited about this. Landon has a wonderful baby-sitter that will watch him for a few hours while I am at work, but at least now I will get to spend every afternoon with him. I was not looking forward to leaving Landon, and now it will work out that I won't have to for very long. It will still be terrible to drop him off in the mornings, but I will be there a few hours later to get him! Matt seems to enjoy his new job and is happy with the change. He gets home at least an hour earlier now, which we all love!

Landon is getting so big. He is already 5 months old! He can pretty much sit up on his own and he officially rolled from his back to his stomach, then back again this afternoon! We introduced cereal for the first time last week. At first, he did not like it at all. I think that was partly my fault because I made it too thick. Now that it is thinner, he seems to enjoy it more. It goes EVERYWHERE, but what he gets in his mouth, I think he likes! He looks like such a big boy when he is sitting in his high chair and eating.

We went out to dinner the other night and wanted to take a picture of our happy, adorable baby! He is wearing Matt's old shoes, so they are 26 years old!

Landon and Mommy

His Cardinal outfit for Mommy (They are leading the division, after all!)

His Cub outfit for Daddy. It looks like he is wearing a skirt here, but he isn't. We promise! His outfit is just a little big right now and doesn't fit right! The bottoms are just supposed to cover his diaper, but they didn't stay up real well.

This is Matt's old outfit as well. The shirt was a little tight on his belly, and the shorts fit like the Cubs shorts....a little too big!

Landon getting ready to go to the Corn Festival. This is the first time he wore jeans and we love his little outfit!

This is all three of us on our anniversary. We went out to eat at Maggiano's.

Update and New Paint Job

Landon loves playing in his exersaucer

Matt went back home for a few days to go to the Home Run Derby and All-Star game.

While Matt was gone, Kelsey's parents and grandparents came out for a visit

Look at this cute little outfit!

We've started to give Landon water...out of a sippy cup

Since we aren't moving anymore, Matt painted the teal and white stripes on Landon's wall this weekend. We're planning on adding various sized polka dots next weekend in tan and a darker teal.

Landon's Big Trip

Hi everyone!  We finally got the vacation pictures uploaded to the blog so you can see our little man doing a lot of fun things for the first time!  He seemed to enjoy our little vacation.  We left on Friday, June 12, after I was done with school and went to my parent's lake house in the Ozarks.  We stayed there with them for a week and then came back to central Illinois.  We spent the majority of the next 10 days in Sherman with Matt's family.  We headed back home to Ohio on Monday, June 29.  Landon has his first plane ride for the trip, first boat ride at the lake and his first time in the swimming pool at both of our parent's houses.  He was very busy, but was his usual happy self all of the time.  He didn't even make a sound on any of the flights!  We hope you enjoy all the new updates and pictures.  

Today Landon had his 4 month check up.  We can't believe he is 4 months old already. Time just flies by.  The doctor said he is doing great!  He weighs just under 20 lbs. and is almost 27 inches tall!  He is the upper 90th percentile for both his height and weight.  He also got his second round of shots yesterday and did so well.  He cried for about 10 seconds and then was fine!  He is a little sleepy today from the Tylenol and shots, but he is his normal, happy self when he is awake!  We are so lucky to have such a good baby!

Landon's Baptism

Landon was baptized on June 21 (Father's Day).  He did very well.  He was sleeping, but woke up when Pastor put the water on his head.

This is Landon listening to Pastor bless him.

Here we are with Landon's great grandparents.

Jeremy and Cara were Landon's sponsors at his baptism.

Here is Landon in his baptism outfit.  It was a little big for him, but he still looked adorable!

Keep checking for more updates and pictures to come soon of our trip to the lake and of our time in Illinois!

Happy 4th of July

It's Landon's first 4th of July!  We celebrated at a party this afternoon.  He saw a couple fireworks from our driveway and didn't seem to mind them.  We've been traveling the past few weeks, so we'll get pictures posted of his first flight, boat ride, swimming pool, and baptism.  Landon's been so busy.  We'll get new pictures up this weekend to keep everyone updated.
