Busy Weekend

On Saturday, Landon and I went to visit our new friend Harley. She was absolutely precious. We also got to visit with her mommy and our friend Cari. Landon had a great time playing with Cari and some of Harley's toys. I thought I got a picture of Landon with Cari, but I didn't. :(

8 month update!

Wow, has it really been 8 months?!?! Landon is growing so fast and each day he becomes more fun!! Here are his monthly happenings:

• Weighed 17lbs. at last doctors visit.
• Can go from laying down to sitting up independently.
• Loves to "talk" and "sing".
• Likes to play pat-a-cake
• Crawls, sort of, if he sees something he wants he can manage to "scoot" to it.
• Very happy!!
• Puts everything in his mouth.
• Ate chicken for the first time.
• Huge wiggle worm when I change his diaper.
• Made his first "friend" at the baby sitters.
• Working on trying to hold the bottle independently.

Fun at the Park

I took Landon to the park today. It was very windy, but he enjoyed swinging. Our friend Nicholas came with us and he was quite the photographer. He took tons of pictures and would instruct Landon and I on the right way to pose.

A Walk To Remember

On Saturday we attended a ceremony in memory of Logan. The support group (MEND) that we attended after Logan passed away hosts the ceremony each year in October since October is pregnancy and infant loss awareness month. We no longer attend monthly meetings, but we do go to the two big events that they host each year. This was one of them, the other one is a Christmas ceremony. We made several friends through this group and it was great to see them on Saturday. Two couples lost a baby the same time that we lost Logan, and then all three of us became pregnant after our losses at the same time. So now we all three have babies that are about the same age. It is fun to catch up with them and let the babies "look" at each other!

Here we are hanging our Angel in tree in memory of Logan.

1st Head Bruise

Landon got his first of many bruises today! You can see it on the top left side of his forehead. While at the sitter he hit his head on a gate that separates the kitchen from the living room. I knew it was a matter of time--he hits his head on everything as he maneuvers himself around.

When the flash on my camera started going off, Landon would get excited and tense up. Notice how straight and stiff his legs are!! When he would relax, I would get the camera ready and as soon as he would see the flash he would scream with excitement!!

Am I Ready For This?

Well, Landon is officially into everything. He wants to taste everything in sight too!! I have cleared the bottom shelves in the living room. This weekend we are going to lower his bed, because he can now go from laying down to sitting up on his own--yeah!! Still not officially crawling, yet! Instead he is pulling himself around with his arms.

Getting Ready For Bed

"Mom, do I really have to go to bed?"
