1/2 a Year!

I can't believe our little man is 6 months old!!!  A half a year has gone by since this miracle entered our world.  It's so surreal.  Part of me can't believe that six months have already flown by and the other part feels like he has always been a part of our family.  Each month I can't believe  how much Landon changes in looks, personality and of course his development.  It's the most amazing thing tho watch your child grow and develop.  I am just so proud of him and love him more everyday!

Here is what Landon is up to...


~ His official 6 month check up is not until next week, however, about 2 weeks ago we made a visit to the pediatrician for a little cold and our big boy was 15 lbs. 1 ounce.  I'll post official stats next week.
~ Landon is wearing size 2 diapers and 3 - 6 month clothes.
~He is eating baby food now and absolutely LOVES it!!!  He has tried rice cereal, oatmeal, peas, green beans, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, apples and bananas!  This little boy loves to eat!  I think he liked the applesauce the best!  He licked his bib clean! :)
~ Sleeping habits have been quite interesting this month.  We went through a spurt where the only place he would sleep was his swing.  Yikes!  Not good, I know.  Then he went to falling asleep in his crib.  He would then wake up screaming anywhere between 1 and 3 am and the only place he would fall back to sleep was in his swing.  We are still in this stage, however, this week we had 1 night where he made it in his crib the entire night.  This can be trying and a bit discouraging to Pat and I.  I keep telling myself this too shall pass.
~Landon started sitting up all by himself this month.  He does great with this and loves playing on the floor.
~He absolutely LOVES his jump-a-roo!!!  This is on loan from our good friend's, Myleigh and Sydney.  Thanks girls!
~His little personality is too cute and he is just such a happy little boy!  He rarely fusses and when he does we know he's hungry or tired!

It's amazing and beautiful how a child can change your life.  Both of our children and have changed our lives and Landon continues to heal our broken hearts.  He has been such a blessing and we love telling him about his big sister, Paige! 

Here are some pictures I took of Landon.  We will be getting professional pictures done later this week.

This is a new face that Landon just started making!  We have no idea where it
came from or how he discovered he could make this crazy face! 
We love you Landon Jordan!  Crazy face and all!
