Fishiesss!

Yesterday we had our first trip to the aquarium! What an adventure! Landon and myself went, along with Auntie Jenn and Auntie Shelby, and the kids Shelby nannys, Bella and Bennett, and our family friend's two boys, Holton and Hyland. We had quite the crew! Three strollers total. Three kids under Three-years-old. But, we all had a blast! Landon loved being able to be pushed up to the glass and see all the colors and the fish swim by. Towards the end, we took him out of his stroller a lot and he loved that even more. We saw mermaids swim and perform for us, we saw Nemo and Dory and Crush and Mr. Ray. Haha the kids had such a blast. We did decide, however, that we will never go again with that many strollers!

The sharks swam right past him, and he was loving it!

Hyland was a little scared and shy. But he did it!

6-Months-Old!

I know, everyone says it. And I never really understood until I became a mother. But time flies! Oh my gosh, I feel like it was just yesterday that I got to bring my little boy home. And here we are, hitting the six month mark! And now I feel like its going to be absolutely no time until he is a year old. And it makes me happy and sad at the same time. Anyways, enough with the sappy stuff.

At his 6-month check up, Landon weighed in at a whopping 19lbs 14.5oz. and is 29.25in. long. In case you don't know, that's about how big most babies are once they approach a year. My Chunk! He is in the 90th percentile for weight, and above the 97th for height! So, if you want to be technical about it, he is a little light for his height. But we like him just the way he is! He is a perfectly healthy and happy BIG boy! The doctor was very impressed with how strong he is, and how mobile he is getting, and even said that she wouldn't be suprised if he skipped crawling and went straight for walking. Lucky Me! He is working on sitting up, and getting super close! He's moving up into Level 2 foods, and still gets three meals a day. I feel like I can never shovel food in fast enough for him. And I am positive that the first tooth will be here any day now! My poor boy has been very fussy and drooly, and hasn't been sleeping very well. Hopefully it happens soon!

For Landon's first Fourth of July this year, it was sadly uneventful. But he had a great day nonetheless. My little man was dressed in a sweet Captain America tshirt, and looked absolutely adorable. We hung out at home with family most of the day, then had a few people over for a BBQ that night. And my brave little man wasn't even phased by the loud noises from the fireworks! The next day, we spent the day at Nate's parent's house with Cousin Lola before she left to go home. Landon and Lola tried out the new blow up pool, and even though it was a little cold, Landon had a blast! Lola wasn't quite as much of a fan, but we're hoping that next time they're together they will swim together! It's so much fun to see them watch each other and wonder what is going on. I can't wait until they can actually play together!

And, of course, here are some pictures. :)

 Push the Monkey over, and laugh. Thats my boy!

Daddy had to get in with him since he can't do it himself yet.

But can you tell he had fun?!

Sunday we go to get his 6-Month Pictures done, so expect an update again soon! :)
