Proud Momma


Snow day might have come and gone but the snow has been hiding my car since today. Snow day melted away and then came back strong that night. Apparently our little town saved the snow for several days longer than surrounding areas. So we have been hiding inside since then. On Thursday (aka snow day) we had to make a trip to town to visit the dr in between snow storms. Landon got his big boy 2 month shots. Mom and dad were prepared for blood curdling screaming for the rest of the day but actually, he did great! There was the initial needle poke scream that was silent for 30 seconds and we couldn't get him to take a breathe moment....But after that he was pretty norm. I'll never forget that face though...poor guy looked at me as though he didn't know why someone would want to poke him. After-all, we did just brace his feet 2 days earlier. I tell ya...this kid is incredibly special. We have been through a lot in just the first 2 months of life. He has been so good. We've been through the casting, feeding problems, bracing, shots, and through it all he has shown tremendous smarts and growth. At his check up he weighed 12 lbs 15 oz....50% percentile (We guessed 13 lbs!) He is 24.5" long (in the 90% percentile!!) He has recently shown interest in sitting and standing! His dr said babies normally don't show interest in this until about 4 months so we are excited that even with a brace on his feet, he is still trying hard to move. He LOVES to sit. It won't be very long until he sits on his own. Momma so proud. He has also moved up a size in diapers which I LOVE because he have a TON of size 2 in his closet from the baby showers. Can we say HOLLA for no buying diapers for a while?!? Yup. check.

Since his cast is FINALLY off we can give him real baths rather than sponge baths. We gave him his first bath the night he got his cast off. Initial contact in a tub of water was hilarious. Talk about wide-eyed confused! Not quite a splish-splash-taking a bath experience but at least he can join the bath club now.

Until next time..enjoy the cuteness
