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!

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!)

"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!
