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.

1st Visit to the Park

Make sure to see the baby pictures of us at the top right and vote to let us know who he looks like.

This past weekend we took Landon on his first trip to the park.  He went down the slide with Daddy and swung with Mommy.  He seemed to enjoy both.  We can't believe that next week Landon will already be 3 months old!

Thanks for coming to visit me Aunt Cara...I had a great time playing!!

Landon loves all the different colors of flowers

Look how cute he was for church on Sunday

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.

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