Pictures

Kayleigh and Landon's hands.

He really does open his eyes.

She loves giving him hugs and kisses!

Michael's grandma made this quilt for Landon.

Every morning she is excited to see him when I get him out of the crib.

Had to document for myself how his legs are filling out, not so wrinkly anymore.

Such a cute picture of my kids!

I am really trying to enjoy my little guy right now while he's so little, but man they are a lot of work! Funny how you forget that. They grow so fast and I'm really trying to savor him, but being so tired is starting to wear on me. I feel bad because I'm short with Kayleigh sometimes because I'm so tired! Poor girl, thank goodness little ones are so forgiving.

Anyway, other than no sleep, we are doing good. Thought I'd put some more pictures on here for my sis-in-law who's been asking to see more, and for anyone else interested. As soon as Landon's RSV shot is approved thru our insurance then I'll take him to the dr. again and I'll have a weight update. Lots of people ask me how much he weighs and I'm guessing around 9 lbs. now but I don't know for sure. He is starting to fill out though, that's for sure. I think soon we'll be out of newborn things and on to 0-3 months. It's funny, with Kayleigh she was out of newborn things after 2 weeks!

Just found out

So my sister-in-law is pregnant, my brother's wife, and today they found out the gender of the baby. It's a boy! I am so excited for them! She's due in June so Landon will have a boy cousin just about his age, fun! Congratulations, you guys.

Happy Birthday Kayleigh!

I can't believe I have a three year old now. Wow, how time flies. She just seems so big to me, especially since we have a tiny little one now. At least I can say she's three now instead of two when people ask. Hopefully their jaw won't drop as much. Michael took her to the doctor today and she is 40 lbs. (98%) and 40 3/4 in. (99%). Her doctor said she is looking good and right on schedule for where she should be.

On her birthday she got to go with her daddy to McDonald's for lunch. She is always begging me to go there when we drive by it so I thought it was a good idea. I think she had a lot of fun! When I got home from work I brought home some balloons for her, she was very excited over them! Soon after getting them home though the pink one popped out of nowhere. Kayleigh immediately started to cry and it took like 15 minutes to calm her down I swear! I told her we'd go and get another one, but she was convinced the store wouldn't have any more pink ones. After lunch Michael took her to get another one and then she was happy again. That evening we had a fun party planned with our family. Both sets of her grandparents came, along with my sister and her family and my younger brother. In our little family room it felt like a packed house!

We started out with some games, Pin the bow on Daisy Duck and Super Sleuth Bingo. (Thank you www.playhousedisney.com/celebrationcenter. ) For prizes the kids got a little fishing set (thanks to Dollar Tree) and the adults got candy. We all enjoyed watching each other pin the bow on Daisy, and Kayleigh won the game, getting the closest! Kayleigh and her cousin, Grace, were determined that they didn't have Bingo until their entire card was filled up, it was pretty funny! Thanks to everyone for being good sports about the games and participating.

After games Kayleigh got to open her presents which she'd been dying to do since I set them out. We did let her open one in the morning but she had to wait for the rest until her party. Thanks, everyone for the presents! She has loved playing with all of her new things.

Cake and ice cream followed the presents. This year I didn't make any fancy cake, too much going on. But we did do cupcakes and Kayleigh wanted pink ones so pink ones she got. Happy Birthday Kayleigh, we love you!

Just for fun

Here are some recent photos I've taken of Landon and I thought I'd post them for some viewing pleasure. It's funny, I've often heard that the first baby you have gets tons of pictures taken of them and then subsequent children don't get as much. But, it our case, I think I take a whole lot of Landon, too!

Watching Bubba play

The night before Kayleigh's birthday Davis had a home basketball game so Michael decided to take Kayleigh to it. If you'll remember from a few months ago, we went to the Davis football game to see Michael's cousin, Bubba, play. He also plays on the basketball team and so we thought it'd be fun for Kayleigh to go to it because she loves Bubba! I think she has a little crush on him. They had a great time together on a little daddy/daughter date! It was especially fun because Davis won and Bubba got to play more than usual.

Landon's 1st official photo shoot

Thanks, again, to Sherri, who took these for us. After having Kayleigh I've regretted never having baby photos taken of her or doing birth announcements, so this time around I'm doing it. I've also got some really cute ones of him naked but since this is a public blog, I won't be posting those. He did great, though, and didn't even pee when we took them, good job, buddy!
