Landon's First Month in Photos

Hard to believe that Landon's first month has come to an end. He's changed so much in the past few weeks, I'm totally eager to see what the next month holds for us!

Here's a pic of the three of us (these are harder to come by then I thought...going to have to hand my camera over to someone else every now and then to make sure we get enough family shots of us all together)!

A Smile Caught on Video

Landon smiles (twice) about 20 seconds into this short video. Enjoy! 

Ivy League Material

On Wednesday night, Landon had a very special visitor who flew in from New Jersey. Marcus Jenkins, Assistant Coach for the Princeton Men's Basketball Team, heard of Landon's birth, his above average height (length), and big hands and feet (according to the Nurses at Stanford) and just had to make a trip to meet our little man (while in California visiting other Princeton basketball recruits).

I didn't think colleges were allowed to make contact with potential recruits this early, but we welcomed him into our home, nonetheless. We made Marcus dinner (grilled chicken, potatoes, salad, garlic bread) and introduced him to little "Lando". They chatted for a bit, exchanged Facebook & Twitter contact information, and promised to keep in touch in the years to come. 

Needless to say, Coach Jenkins left our house full, happy, and impressed with our little guy. Not sure what Landon's favorite sport will be (soccer, football, baseball, basketball, wrestling, track&field), but good to know we'll always have a great summer basketball camp to send him to if he wants to go (wherever "Uncle Marcus" is coaching at the time)! 

Landon Smiles

We have one happy boy on our hands! This morning, after a quick tummy time session in Mom & Dad's bed (he's starting to hold his head up on his own when propped up on his Boppy Pillow), Landon gave me a series of real smiles. I didn't have time to run downstairs and grab my "real" camera...so these cell phone camera pics will have to do! Enjoy.

This Just In...Landon Loves Baths!

Landon had his second "real" bath tonight. He loves the warm water, and so long as we keep him covered in a warm, wet, wash cloth he is happy. In this quick clip you can even see him yawn at the end!

A Big Day for Baby Landon

Wednesday October 19th was a BIG day for our little guy. He got to meet his Aunt Haley and Cousin Merritt for the first time, had his first "real" bath, and had his first bottle feeding with Daddy!

Merritt meeting her first cousin, Landon!

Haley is finally an Aunt!

We are new at this...but he liked it! Practically slept through the entire bath!

Daddy feeding his son his first bottle!

Landon, smiling after a BIG, HAPPY Day!

Our Growing Boy

Landon had his 2 week check-up on Monday. Sean and I were sure that he had exceeded his birth weight (7lbs 11oz) by now, but were shocked to find out that our little man now weighs....

8lbs 13oz!

He's obviously feeding well, which makes me happy! He could be close to 10lbs by his one month check-up on Halloween!
