First Easter, Party in the Crib and Smiles!

So, being back at work has seriously cut into my blogging time...haha! Going back hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be but I do wish I could spend more of my days with our little guy. Landon had a fabulous first Easter and was definitely impressed by all the hard work the Easter Bunny put into his basket. He looked so cute in his Easter outfit too.

Landon has really started smiling more lately...and sometimes I really think he giggles and I love love love it! His daddy can really get him smiling. I thought little boys liked their mamma's more...not this one! I think he's a daddy's boy all the way! He's such a sweetie and we feel so blessed to have him in our lives. More in the next post...this working mommy has to get some sleep!

Landon's First Easter






This little onesie says "Party at my crib 2am"...and how true it is! We kick it around 2:40 each morning.



"I'm not going to smile no matter how much you want me to!"

"Okay, maybe just a little one..."

And the grand finale....cutest grin ever!!!

I'm fairly certain it's this very grin that will be Landon's "get out of jail free card" for the duration with his mommy and daddy...let's just say he has us right where he wants us and I fear it won't change anytime soon...check back in a couple of years. I hear the terrible two's really are terrible. ha!

2 Month Check Up, Playdate and Dish Towel Surprise

Landon is 9 weeks old and today he had his 2 month checkup. We are happy to report that we have a happy and healthy baby!

Here are the stats:

Weight: 11 lbs 12 oz - 46th percentile
Height: 22 1/4 in. - 19th percentile
Head Circumference: 15 3/4 - 46th percentile

He is developing right on schedule and we get to start rice cereal at 4 months. He also got a couple shots today and he didn't cry for long. I think he's going to be a tough guy! :) He is really beginning to show us his personality. He coos and talks to us and loves his Baby Einstein playmat. He isn't sleeping through the night yet but he only wakes up once so we are making progress. He is happiest in the morning and naps in the afternoon. He has a really strong grasp and can hold his head up and steady when laying on our chest.

Last week Landon and I had a playdate with Ashley and Burke. Ashley and I were pregnant together and actually due on the same day if you can believe it...however, since Landon was early they are 4 weeks apart. Ashley and I went shopping right after we found out the gender of our kiddos and found the cutest matching outfits so we couldn't wait to take their picture in them!
Isn't Burke adorable!!? And don't you just love Landon's hat?



He's not a fan of the sunglasses but I managed to get this picture before he started screaming...so cute! Can you tell we like the rocker baby t-shirts?


Here are some other pictures from this week...He still isn't much into tummy time but we still try. Here is tummy time on the boppy...he tolerates that a little more. When we do tummy time on the floor he prefers to life his hiney instead of his head...but again, when he lays on my chest he can hold his head up steady and look all around. Stubborn just like his daddy...ha!



Jim's birthday was March 27th and we had a few friends over Saturday night to celebrate. I made peanut butter chocolate cupcakes and they were SO yummy and pretty that I had to post a picture...


The tulips are from our yard. I didn't realize my camera could take such good pictures but I got this one and thought it was too pretty not to post...


Kitty bed or basket full of CLEAN dish towels that now need re-washing?
