Happy Friday!

Landon got his 12 month shots yesterday and did great! He got three of them and just cried for a second. He seems to be doing fine today, so hopefully his poor, little legs aren't too sore. Other than that, we really don't have a whole lot to report. We are looking forward to seeing our family and friends next week when we head to Illinois for Easter. This weekend, we are excited to watch some more basketball. We love March Madness! Have a great weekend and enjoy the pictures of Landon!!

Landon's Birthday

Matt and I both took Thursday off to take Landon to his 1-year check up and to spend the day with out sweet birthday boy! The doctor said that Landon is doing great. He still has a cough and runny nose, but she said his ears and lungs are all clear. He weighs 24.3 lbs. (7oth percentile) and is 31 1/4 inches tall (90th percentile). He has 8 teeth and the doctor said he is also getting his top and bottom molars on the right side.

After the doctor, we took Landon to get his first chicken mcnuggets happy meal. It was a beautiful day here....upper 60's and sunny. So, we went shopping at the outdoor mall to walk around and just be outside enjoying the weather. For Landon's birthday, he got a coupon for a free ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery. He had strawberry/mango/banana sherbert with sprinkles and loved it! After the mall we headed to the park and then home to play outside some more.

Landon's new tricks lately include blowing kisses constantly, putting his hands on his head when we say, "Oh no", telling us that a sheep says "baa" and a cow says "moo" (he can make both sounds), holding up 1 finger to tell us his age and doing somersaults! We will post videos of his new tricks soon. He is such a good boy and so much fun!

Here are a few pictures from his birthday....enjoy!

Happy Birthday Landon!

Our sweet little baby turned one today! We cannot believe how fast the time has gone. We will post pictures later of his birthday, and update you with Landon's new stats from his 1-year doctor's appointment. Until then, please enjoy this little video of Landon from the past year! Make sure to turn on your speakers and listen to a few of Landon's favorite songs as you watch the video.

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY LANDON! We love you!

Landon's Birthday Party!

Today was Landon's birthday party; it started around midnight for mommy & daddy. Landon woke up around 12 wheezing and with a deep cough. It didn't seem to bother him, it was just keeping him up. He finally fell asleep around 2:30 on Kelsey & slept until around 5:30 then I took him into his room and he slept on me on and off until 7:30. We took him to the dr. and he was diagnosed with croup and the beginning of a double ear infection. So we stopped by the pharmacy for some meds, and then headed back home to get ready for his party. We had about 12 people over including Kelsey parents, Jeremy, Cindy and Ade as well as Matt's dad and Cara (Dixie had to stay home with the flu). Landon opened his presents and then we sang "Happy Birthday" and watched as Landon made a mess eating his cake.

Countdown to Landon's Birthday

We have been counting down the days until Landon's first birthday (9 more days), and getting ready for his birthday party around here. We put his swing, exersaucer and jumperoo in the attic this past weekend and it made us so sad. We can't believe he is too big for those things and is already turning one! He is such a happy, good little guy and is so much fun! We will have lots of updates after his party this weekend and his birthday. Until then, here are some pictures of our sweet boy for you to enjoy!

The past two weeks

We have had a busy couple of weeks and haven't updated the blog much, so I thought it was time. On Thursday before Valentine's Day, we headed to Chicago for the weekend. We were originally going to meet my parents, brother, Cindy and Adelin in South Bend for the weekend. However, my Aunt Sharon (my dad's sister) unexpectedly passed away a couple of weeks ago. The funeral was in Chicago last Friday. Since my whole family was already in Chicago, we just stayed there all weekend. It was great to see all my family that I don't get to see very often, but we didn't want to see them under those circumstances. Aunt Sharon was a very loving person and we will all miss her a lot.

Matt, Landon and I also got to see our great friends, Autumn and Mike, last weekend. It was great to see them for a little bit and we want to thank them for letting us stay with them (even though we didn't get there until about 11:15 pm). We can't wait to come stay with you again soon when Baby Usalis arrives!

This past week Landon has been battling a cold and a new tooth. He isn't quite himself, but he is getting better.

This was Landon climbing the stairs in his church outfit a couple weeks ago.

We also got to stop on the way home to see Uncle Chuck who lives in Chicago. It was great to visit with him for a little while. We missed Aunt Michelle and cousins, James and Sophia. We can't wait to see you guys soon!
