I know... I'm a Slacker...

I haven't updated in almost a month. And, seeing as how we are almost at the 6-month mark for my little man, maybe I should make a new post. Landon is so big, it amazes me every day. He is working on sitting up, and getting quite good at balancing once we get him sitting. He has also mastered rolling from his back to his stomach. He doesn't quite get the stomach to back part yet, I think its mostly because he is lazy. But so cute! While on his stomach, he has started to curl his legs up under himself and get his butt up in the air, but his head is on the ground and he plows around. Unfortunately for me, this means crawling can't be far away. Oh how I will miss my freedom! Since it is summer, we have grown accustomed to spending our Saturday or Sunday outside at car shows with Nate. I actually rather enjoy these days, being outside on a beautiful day with my little family. And I'm starting to recognize the special things about some of Nate's favorite classic cars. Landon loves being outside too, and Nate loves to show him the cars and take pictures of them together. I can already see, this is going to be a tradition for years to come. Landon even enjoys the rumble of the engines, much to his father's delight! This last weekend, I have had a rather cranky baby on my hands, and I'm starting to believe that I can attribute that to a tooth coming in. Poor baby, he drools a TON and all the time. He has also had an upset stomach, runny nose, and chews on whatever he can get his hands and mouth on. Hopefully it is a tooth, and it shows up soon, because I certainly can't stand to watch him like this! But, in happier news, Landon has definately found his laugh, and it is so freaking cute! He loves to laugh at any puppies, or at funny noises, or pretty much at anything! It melts my heart every time! I am so blessed to have such a happy baby all the time. Ok, maybe not all the time, but you know what I mean. Our first Father's Day was a success. I asked Nate for weeks what he wanted to do for Father's Day, and all he ever told me was "nothing." So, that is exactly what we did. I got up and took care of Landon, and then made eggs, bacon, and pancakes for Nate and my Dad, and everyone else too. Breakfast is Nate's favorite meal, and I very rarely make it for him, so he really enjoyed this. Then my family left to go ride quads with some family friends, and Nate, Landon, and I layed around the house and napped and did nothing all day. It was just perfect to get to spend that family time together and really enjoy each other, because we don't get to do it all that often. I'm so happy that he had a good day and he got to relax and not worry about anything for a whole day. He definitely deserved it!

And now... We have pictures. A whole mish-mash of picture from the month. :)

Pool with Daddy



Aunt Jenn drug us to the mall for the opening of the Microsoft store, and to meet her favorite celeb, Rob Dyrdek. Landon's first celebrity meeting. He even signed Landon's pukey bib!

Twix Ice Cream Bar. Good for the gums.

I laid him in bed, undressed him, and went to run his bath. And he was crying and throwing a fit because he was very tired. So I come back from the bathroom, and this is what I find! :)

Loooong Day at the Pool

And in Ryan's Chevelle

Lounging around on Father's Day

For some reason, he loves his Elmo. He can spot Elmo across a room, and instantly smile!

Loves to be upside down.

5-Months-Old!

Today marks 5-months-old for  my sweet boy. I can't believe we are already here! It seems like its gone by so fast, and he just gets bigger and smarter every day! Lately, he's been working on sitting up, which is just such a blast! He tries so hard, and just ends up falling over. Poor little guy! He is still eating 3 meals a day, and trying to eat more and more every time. With every bite he takes, he makes sure to let us know how much he likes it by giving us a nice "mmmmm" while he eats. We have yet to find a food he doesn't like. I'm so happy about that too, I was so nervous he would be picky like me and his dad! We also took him to the pool for the first time this week, and boy did he love it! He just kick, kick, kicked the whole time in his little float, and then swam around with me holding him and enjoyed the water. I had such a blast! My parents got him a swing to hang outside, so he can hang out with us and enjoy the sunshine. He has so much fun in his little swing, and loves to watch the dogs play and the wind blow in the trees. It is so much fun to watch him just absorb everything and figure things out. He has just found his tounge, and loves blowing bubbles with his spit and sticking his tounge out to make noises. It might be the cutest thing ever! We can stick out tounges out and make spit noises at him and he is figuring out how to do it back. Tonight, he is having his first sleepover away from home, and his first entire night away from mommy and daddy. He's staying with Nate's parents tonight, and I know he is super excited to get away from us! As for Nate and I, we are going camping with all of our great friends for the first time this year, and I can't wait to get away for a night and see everyone again!
