Getting Peed on

So I have come to the conclusion that it is extremely possible that I am going to get peed on every morning before coming to work. I am baffled at the fact when I go into get Landon and change him before leaving the house to drop him off that he still has to go to the restroom in the morning. I don't know why it baffles me but it does. Imagine if you will, I am fully dressed for work. I go into get Landon out of his crib and head to the living room. I then begin the diaper changing process. Take the old off to put on the new. Thinking surely - he only had 7 oz before bed it's now 7am - there's no way he still has any pee left. Do not be deceived, Mommy's to be - it's still there. Usually while I am grabbing the new diaper to put on him I hear a little stream above hitting my just shampooed carpet. I then think to myself, really? Once this happens - the thought crossed my mind - How much is on his clothes? Does it merit the changing of clothes? Those are merely thoughts - I always end up changing his outfit. I end up laughing about it on the way to work while being thankful it didn't get on me. It's easier to change his clothes then for me to throw something else together.

I love my little man but this is a whole new game for me - I accept the challenge of dodging urine at 7am. Bring it.

WAS looking forward to football

Well, I always look forward to Fall for many reasons but one of the main reasons is football. College and NFL. Wow, is all I have after watching the two teams I cheer for lose. My Bulldogs are not looking promising...I mean to the point that Richt may be looking for a new job soon. So after watching them lose their first two games I was thinking well at least I've got my Falcons. After watching their season opener today I am left stunned. I really hope things get better for these teams because right now I am just bummed. I'll continue to be a fan obviously but it is more exciting to cheer for a winning team.

I will leave you with this: If you cheer for GA Tech, I hope you continue to smack talk about UGA considering they haven't played each other yet. Then I will find it hilarious when you eat your words in November.

That is all.

7 Months - Mobile!

Now that you are mobile it is harder to get sitting still pictures :)

Dear Landon,
On August 30 you turned 7 months old and hit a new milestone - CRAWLING!! Once again, I was fortunate enough to catch it on camera. For readers, I know I keep telling you about all of these videos and not posting them for you just isn't right. Have no fear, I am planning to post them this weekend! Back to little man, crawling has definitely increased my exercising and cardio. You are keeping daddy and I on the move and we are loving every minute of it. You like your toys okay but you tend to crawl towards things you shouldn't. For example; laptops, phones, remotes, tv, etc. I guess you have an eye for expensive toys ;) You are also in the beginning stages of self feeding. Gerber puffs that dissolve in your mouth are your favorite. You get so proud of yourself. It always makes us smile when we get you out of your highchair and we see how many are stuck to your clothes or legs. You laugh and smile often. Sometimes it seems that you laugh for no reason but I am convinced that something happened. Something new you have started in the tub: You like to test just how far you can stick your face into the water. I'm scratching my head and where this came from but you like to make the motor boat noise and stick you mouth to the water. You keep me laughing :) However, when feeding you- I could go without the spitting motor boat :) You continue to grow each and every day right before our eyes. I pray for time to slow down to soak more of this stage up but it hasn't happened yet. You won't understand how much your daddy and I love you until you have children of your own. That's when it hit for your Dad and I. We would and will do anything for you baby boy. Looking forward to all of the Fall holidays with you. And guess what?? I already have your Halloween costume selected but readers will have to wait just a little bit longer:) Love you Landon!

Love,
Mom and Dad

You love to crawl up on my leg :)

Look at him go!

My sweet boy!!

Love those little thighs!

6 Months?!?!?!

Dear Landon,
I have lost all concept of time when it comes to how quickly you are growing right before my eyes. Every single day you do something new and something about you changes. You actually turned 6 months on July 30th so I am a little late but better late than never. At your 6 month check up you were 28 inches long and weighed 20 lbs and 6 oz. You're getting so big and I must admit from carrying you I thought your weight was going to be more :)  So much has changed since 5 months. You are now reaching for anything and everything (Bye Bye coffee table decorations). You had prunes and peas for the first time and loved them both. You want to crawl so bad. You are to the point where you can push yourself up but you just rock. You'll figure it out soon baby boy. Mastering sitting up has made bath time pretty interesting. You don't like to lay down at all but when we do lay you down you make your dislike well known. On August 16, two days ago, you made my heart smile more than ever before.  During bath time you called me Mama. It was so sweet and innocent. What is even greater is that I got it on video. I'm not sure what made me grab the camera but I am so glad I did. I'm sure Dad insist you are a traitor but I like to think of it as your a momma's boy at this time. I'm sure before long you will say Dada. You're going through a stage where you don't like to be put down which is making the evenings a little challenging. Help us out with this little man. Being put down doesn't mean you are loved any less - I promise! You talk all the time in your own language. You like it when your daddy mocks your language. You love to laugh and that laugh of yours melts my heart.  We love you so much baby boy but I would ask that you slow down just a little for me.

Love,
Mom and Dad

Lets just say at your doctors appointment - You were a big fan of the paper!

You love this toy - Makes you feel like you are walking ;)

Attempting to take a picture of us :)

Still loving the paper :)

With your favorite teddy bear

Attempting a picture again - You were not cooperating :)

My sweet boy!

Bath time!

One of my faves - The "Who me?" look...

New Bedding

I do not love our current Bedding - Doesn't look very young to me...

I think I am going to look at this one....




Thoughts and Feedback Appreciated!!

Moments that make a momma smile

So I saw a picture on a friend's facebook and this was my comment to her photo, "Moments that make a momma smile." It got me thinking about how many things Landon does that cause me to grin.

My AC recently decided to stop working in my car thus I had to drive Chad's truck which little man could see me while I was driving. I couldn't help but glance over and when I did, I was greeted with sweet eyes peering in between the handle and shader on the car seat. As soon as our eyes meet - he smiles and I smile.

The funny positions he gets into and the funny faces he makes. Thank goodness for technology for allowing me to capture these moments for laughter and blackmail in the future.

He loves it when it is time to eat. This time however, he was obviously extremely tired thus the reason he fell asleep with food in his mouth.

I love it when he falls asleep in random positions. I almost want to move him because to me it would be uncomfortable but I never move him :)

The smiles we get before bath time melt my heart. He has a grin that lights me up on the inside. A grin that I look forward to seeing on the way home from work.

I could go on for days on things he does that make me smile but you would be reading for days...

Ridiculist

Oh yes - You knew it was coming. Am I surprised by all of this coming to a point? No. I think when you bribe people with bonuses or anything involving money - most will go to the extreme to get it. Bottom line. We live in a money driven society. Just more bad publicity for Atlanta and our schools. I would love to hear thoughts from others on this. 

5 Months!?!?!?

Dear Landon,
Last Thursday you turned 5 months old. 5 months. I still don't believe it. So much has changed from 4 months. You are getting more and more comfortable rolling all over the place. You are sitting up now. Took you awhile to catch on but you are doing so well with that now. Your mouth is like a water park. The teething process began at 4 months and ever since then we just can't seem to keep you dry. You have certainly figured out how to make noises :) You like to make the motorboat sound with your lips and your slobber goes everywhere when you do it. You like to yelp out and see how loud you can get. You like for me to mock your noises. It makes you laugh. You love to laugh. You like to watch me drive in the car in the mornings. I can see you out of the corner of my eye leaning up to see over your car seat. Once I glance you smile :) Your smile melts my heart baby boy. You are not a fan of laying on your back now that you know you can sit up. Your temper flares in the tub when I have to lean you up to wash your back and then lay you back down...You get so mad. I can't help but giggle. You love squash and sweet potatoes :) We invested in the bumpo seat for you and your thunder thighs barely fit!! You are such a joy to your daddy and I. I can't wait to get home to get my hands on you. We love you little man. Try to slow down just a little for me :(

Love you,
Mom and Dad
