Long time no blog...

It's been almost a month since my last post and Landon will be 4 months old tomorrow. I'm having a hard time understanding where the time has gone! He's growing non-stop and still sleeping through the night most nights. We started him on rice cereal this week and as you'll see from the pictures he's not sure what to think about it. We go for his 4 month checkup and immunizations this Friday so I'll post all of his stats and milestones then.

My first Mother's Day was great! We spent Saturday in Lavaca and Landon got to meet his Great Great Aunt Barbara for the first time. Landon and his daddy gave me a necklace and Landon's nana took him to have a precious platter painted at my favorite pottery place called The Painted Pig. It has Landon's footprints as a butterfly and his hand print as a flower. I don't have any pictures of it yet but will post one when I do. It's adorable and I love it...it made me cry. We spent that Sunday in Little Rock with Jim's family. It was a great weekend!

We had a crawfish boil the weekend after Mother's Day. Several of our friends from out of town that we don't see very often came over and we had a great time visiting! We cooked over 100 pounds of crawfish and had a good time playing Baggo! Landon got to meet a lot of new people and was so good all day...and worn out at the end!

Our new nephew, Asher was born on May 21st. He weighed 7 lbs 6 oz and was 20 inches long. If you remember from Landon's birth story he came hiney first...well, baby Asher decided he would come face first. They both should have stopped for directions...obviously they are going to be true men! ha! Asher is adorable and we are so excited that he and Landon will grow up together!

We spent Memorial Day in Kansas visiting Landon's great grandparents and great aunt and uncle. Poppy and Uncle Chris were there too! We had such a good time and are so glad we were able to go! Landon had fun playing with everyone and they even got him to give us a real giggle! It was about the cutest thing I've ever heard. We absolutely can't wait to go back! Landon was such a good little traveler! He slept most of the way. We made a pit stop for a diaper change and bottle in Springdale at Andrea and Greg's. Her kiddos Luke and Sam are precious and I always love seeing them. Baby Nevel #3 will be here soon and we can't wait to meet him/her!

Here are some pictures from the last several weeks...obviously I couldn't pick just a few.

Look! I can hold my toy!


This is Landon's latest trick! He loves chewing on his fist!


Ride em cowboy!


Still not a fan of tummy time...


Get me off this thing now!


No crawfish for me thanks...I'll stick to formula!

Taking all the toys with us!


Excited about seeing everyone in Kansas!

Hi Mama and Papa Great!


Papa Great is funny!






Kansas is fun! All that attention will wear a guy out!


Landon's first taste of rice cereal!


Not too sure about it but maybe it's not so bad...


On second thought...Yuck!


Give me this again you'll be wearing it!

Beautiful day for a blog!

It's raining cats and dogs here today and I'm baking cupcakes (and blogging in between batches!) for our church's annual festival called Rex Fest.

We've had a busy couple of weeks and I just can't find the time to blog much. Landon is changing all the time and is getting so big! A couple of weeks ago when his daddy picked him up from Nana's he recognized him and got all excited to see him. I'm jealous...he hasn't been as excited to see me! ha! He is starting to hold his head up better and is really becoming more and more alert every day and coos and talks all the time. I've tried to get it on video but I'm pretty sure he's video camera shy!

Last Saturday Landon and I went to visit Auntie Ashley and Burke for a playdate. I think Landon and Burke had a good time and so did the mommies! On Sunday we went to some friends of ours house for a cookout to celebrate baby Dax's baptism and his sister Brooke's 3rd birthday. We had a great time! We played Baggo and decided it was finally time for us to order our own Baggo set. So, on Tuesday I ordered it as an early Father's Day surprise for Jim...later I found out that he had ordered it the day before to surprise me! ha! Luckily I was able to cancel mine.

This week has been pretty laid back which is nice...especially since we're trying to get into a better routine. We did have dinner with our friends Ryan and Emily on Thursday night. We forgot to take pictures but we had a great time! Landon must have had an especially good time because he slept from the time we got home until we woke him up at 6:15 the next morning! I woke up in a panic since he didn't wake us up to eat! He's been sleeping through the night for a week or so now but never that late! We put him to bed between 8 and 9 most nights and he's usually up between 4 and 5am. We love that he's sleeping for that long a stretch...it has really helped us get caught up and has made going back to work a lot easier.

Here are some fun pictures from this week.

Landon and Burke...aren't they adorable?!

So over the photo shoot!


Landon wakes up happy every morning...and loves his Razorbacks!

This face could make anyone a morning person...even me!!!!

And now he's over it...I think he's thinking "listen mommy. no more photos. need bottle now!"

Dax and his sister, the Birthday Girl!

Landon and Dax...Landon was hungry and not in the mood for photos.


My friend Tina made this shirt...Landon loves it!

Meet me at the Sandbar! This shirt's for daddy! We love going to the lake even though we don't get to go much anymore.
Notice the Bumbo...he can't stay in it for long yet but he's holding his head up better so we thought we'd try!
