My precious boy

It's been a while since my last post. I wasn't familiar on how to change the blog layout and adding pics until this morning when Melissa walked me through it.  Thanks Melissa!

Landon is doing well. He is sleeping right now. I should be resting but I can't sit still and for the life of me I am unable to take a nap. So I've decided to update my blog. Now Mom can stop bugging me about it : )

I can't believe a month has gone by. Landon has already changed so much. At his first check up on April 14 he weighed in at 8 lbs 6.5 oz at 50% percentile, height - 20 inches at 25% percentile and head circ 14 1/4 at 25% percentile. Landon has the bluest eyes with light blonde/brown hair with long fingers and long feet. He will be tall just like his daddy.

Just a few tid bits about Landon......

Landon has some strong legs. When its tummy time he will scoot himself little by little across the floor. He's already scooted himself from one end of the crib to the other. When he's on your chest he will try to scoot himself over your shoulder.

I am nursing and it's going well. He is eating every three to four hours. When Landon has gas he gets fussy and Jeff starts to panic. He thinks there is something wrong with him.  I think it's funny. Landon is also a big time grunter and again Jeff thinks there is something wrong with him. The pediatrician told me it's normal and Jeff just needs to relax!

When Landon cries I will let him cry for a little while then when I go to pick him up he stops just like that and with a small grin on his face. What a little turkey! The sweetest thing is when I hold him on my chest he will turn his head around so he can see my face. Ahhhhh!! He loves bath time. Of course I've already gone through a 9oz bottle of baby wash and I love to drench him in baby lotion. YUM!

We are so blessed to have him in our lives. I can hold him and stare at his pretty little face all day long. He is precious and we love him to pieces.

Landon's Baptism

Landon was baptized while Mom and Dad were in town. He wore the same baptismal gown that me and my sisters wore along with Harper and Will. I'm glad I was able to pass down the tradition.

Introducing Landon Daniel

I was scheduled to be induced so we went to the hospital a day early and spent the night. Dr. Shimer broke my water and not long after I was in labor. To my surprise I did pretty good with the contractions. By about 3:00, I started to push and with a couple of pushes Landon's heartbeat dropped and we went into an emergency C-section. The cord ended up being wrapped around his neck. I was so scared, waiting for his cries and finally it happened! We had our precious baby boy!

Introducing Landon Daniel Taylor. He was born on March 30, 2010 at 3:32 p.m. weighting 7 pounds and 11 ounces at 19 1/2 inches long.

Newborn Pics

Melissa did the new newborn pics. It's great to have a photographer in the family!

 

 

 

 

 

Baby Shower

It is tradition for the Aunts to throw the baby showers and wedding showers. With having a big family and attending many showers, it was finally my turn. There was such a big turn out and I felt truly loved. I was overwhelmed by the amont of gifts we received, this baby boy is set for the first year.

 

We are having a Boy!

I am 18 weeks had my first official sono today with Dr. Reinhart and it's definitely a boy. The baby was very active, flopping his legs and arms and even got a yawn in a couple of times. Everything looks good with the baby and me. The due date is still April 4. Jeff wasn't able to make the appointment but I was lucky enough to get a dvd. I feel good surprisingly; it's been easy thus far. I've experienced no cravings which I was kinda looking forward to. I've actually had a loss of apatite. We already have a name and theme picked, now it's time to go shopping!!!!

10 Weeks

Jeff went with me to the doctor yesterday for another sono and I'm glad he came becasue the baby's arms and legs were moving like crazy! Right then it made it feel more real for us. I go back October 7 to find out the sex of the baby. Then we can start planning which we can't wait. So tell then, have a good one!
