First Haircut

Today Landon got his first haircut! Jasmine came over and trimmed up his fast-growing comb-over, and our baby looks more like a little boy than ever before!

Here's what his hair looked like before:

And here's what it looked like after:

And, here are a few pics and a video of the 5 minute "appointment":

Thanks, Auntie Jasmine!

Thanks Loulee & Papa for the awesome new puppy...Landon loves him already!

Giggles Caught on Video!

After a record setting 5 day road trip all over California, we are proud to report that our boy is still happy! Check out the short videos below for proof!

Behind the Scenes: Christmas Card Shoot

I could hardly wait to share these photos with all of you, but I wanted to make sure everyone received their Christmas Card in the mail before I published them online! (I'm kind of weird like that).

Anyway, I was really stressed about our Christmas Card this year. I knew that I wanted a picture of the 3 of us, but was, of course, challenged by how to make this happen. 

My camera, a tripod, and a (newly purchased) remote shutter later...we were in business! I set-up the tripod, composed the shot, focused the lens, while Sean held and controlled the remote (big surprise, right??). We must have taken 150 shots to get a few good ones. 

In the end -- I am super happy with how they turned out, and glad that we have some funny "outtakes" to share!

The challenge was getting him to look at the camera (and not at us)!

Why I thought pointing at the camera would work...I'll never know!

We did everything we could to keep him happy...please don't fuss, please don't fuss!

We love this little guy...Merry Christmas Everyone!

Landon Meets Santa

Last Friday was the CMI Annual Christmas Party. I've attended with Sean every year since 2007, but this year was extra special because it was our first year with Landon! It was great introducing all of Sean's co-workers to our little man. We had a ton of fun meeting Santa for the first time!

Landon, I'm sorry Santa scared you!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We were lucky enough to have Sean's Mom, Donna, and his Dad, Rob, here with us for most of Thanksgiving weekend. The day after Thanksgiving, we hauled all of the Christmas decorations out of the garage, put on the Christmas Music, and decorated the house for Landon's first Christmas!

Thank you, Grandma Donna & Pops...it would have taken us days to get it all done on our own! 

(I just realized I didn't take any pictures of our tree -- will remedy that soon!)

Playing at Uncle Ivy's House

"If You're Going to San Francisco..."

...forget the flowers in your hair! Be sure to pack bottles, burp cloths, blankets, a change of clothes, a stroller, a diaper bag, 2 cameras, and a few binkies!

Landon made his first trip to "The City" on Saturday! We met up with The Mohnackys, the Faheys, and Becko for shopping, lunch, and photos in front of the HUGE tree in Union Square! 

"Hi, I'm Landon...I'm new here!"

Adam, Kendal, Kacey, Becko, Mark, Dina, Sean, Landon, Stace ... and our stroller!

We've Got a Talker

I was getting ready to feed Landon last night, when he decided he wanted to have a "conversation" with me first. We exchanged a few "ooohs" and "aaaahs" before it was time to eat. I just love this little man!

2 Month Check-Up

Landon had his 2 month check-up today. Dr. Barone was happy with his progress (sleep partterns, feeding, growth, & head control). When we told her he started rolling over last week her jaw dropped (I swear I almost pulled up the video on my phone to prove it -- can you say "Proud Mama"?). He got his 2 month shots, cried a bit, then calmed right down when Dada picked him up!

Needless to say, you can't find two prouder parents than Sean and I. We are so incredibly blessed, and feel so lucky to call Landon our son. If you're interested in his latest stats, they are below:

Head Circumference: 41cm (93rd percentile) -- Big Brain?!?!
Length: 24.5in (97th percentile) -- He's TALL!
Weight: 13lbs 13oz (83rd percentile) -- He's gained over 6lbs since birth!

More Tummy Time

I know you all have been dying to see more of Landon's Tummy Time (haha)...so, here you go! His neck is getting so much stronger...it is pretty fun to watch! Enjoy.

Shutterfly is giving me $10 off my next order for posting this!

Baby's First Thanksgiving

We happily hosted Thanksgiving Dinner this year. Sean cooked his biggest turkey ever (19lbs), Grandma & Grandpa Greenwood brought the honeybaked ham, and the rest of us tackled all of the sides! Landon
was great all day long...he survived a few outfit changes (he had to wear all of his Thanksgiving clothes!) and even gave us all a repeat rolling over performance.

It is hard to believe that Landon is already EIGHT weeks old! Time is flying by, but we are enjoying every  minute of it.

Landon Rolls Over!

On the night before Thanksgiving, Landon rolled over for the first time (twice)! On Thanksgiving, he did it again...and we caught it on video!!!

7 Weeks of Landon

Check out his progression so far:

The LRG Weekly

A Photo First: Landon's Furry Friend

Everyone wondered how Pismo would adjust to having a baby in the house. Since Landon came home, she has been curious, but has kept her distance. She likes to be in the same room as us (any time of day or night), and every now and then will approach Landon, smell his feet or his blanket, then nonchalantly walk away. 

We've always said that Pismo is the coolest cat we've ever known...happy to report that that is still true :)

Yesterday, my cat and my camera happened to both be on my bed. I brought Landon into our room, laid him down next to Pismo, and this little piece of awesomeness happened. Enjoy the cuteness...I know I did!

Smiles, Smiles, and More Smiles

Landon is smiling more and more! My favorites:

- Early Morning Smiles: it's like he knows when its time to wake-up and start the day (sometime between 6:30 and 8:00am right now). We turn off his white-noise machine, open up the curtains & blinds, and start talking and singing to him. He knows it is no longer "ni-night" time, and is happy to get the chance to smile at us and talk back!

- Daddy Just Came Home From Work Smiles: more often than not, when Sean walks into the room (usually when he gets home from work each day), Landon gives him a huge smile! I've started having Sean start talking to him as soon as he walks in the door, and as he walks up the stairs. Landon hears him and starts looking around, as if he's saying, "I hear you DaDa...but where are YOU?"

- Mommy, You're So Silly Smiles: all it takes is a high-pitched squeak, a made-up song, or a big grin of my own to get little man to smile back!

- Middle of the Night Milk Drunk Smiles: these crack me up! After he's done eating, and burped a few times, I hold him so he can relax and start to fall back asleep. Before I put him back in the crib, he usually gives me what looks like a drunk, sloppy smile. It's know it is involuntary, but it is still pretty adorable because his eyes are closed, and the room is dark. I'd like to think it is his way of saying "thanks for getting up in the middle of the night to feed me, Mama!" 


Here are a few smiles from the last few days!

New Video: Heads Up!

Here is a new video! Landon is working hard to hold his head up. When you carry him around the house, he wants to sit straight up, holding his head erect, looking all around! Here is with Sean on the couch, showing off his strong neck.

Thanks Lynsey & Madji for the super cute onesie: "My Middle Name is HANDSOME"!
