So it's been a while since we have posted but we've been busy little bees! Rather than write a whole bunch of stuff, here are pics to describe the last few weeks.
First time eating cereal...he LOVED it! And went through an entire box of rice cereal in 3 weeks.
Landon trying green beens for the first time
He decided he liked them afterall
Landon trying sweet potatoes...definitely his favorite so far.
Lando eating peas...they smelled gross but he loved them!
Completely fascinated with Santa!
He LOVES opening presents.
Our little Christmas gift.
The super cool gift we got for Uncle Bob cause he loves Landon so stinkin' much.
Hard to believe it, but Lando is 5 months old already! He has started eating rice cereal and he absolutely LOVES it! I think he thinks he's super big by eating with a big boy spoon. I can't wait to start him on veggies in a month or so, so that I can get some super messy pictures of food all over his face. He's 18 pounds and 26 inches long. Kinda crazy! As you can tell by his picture, he is a little chunk! He is so much more fun at every different stage, and this month is no different! He is such a happy baby and he just laughs all the time. The only time he cries is if he's hungry or super tired. Oh yeah, and when his teeth are bothering him. That's right, he has two teeth. He got them about 2 1/2 weeks ago and it looks like he's got about 2-4 more getting ready to come in. Mike and I got teeth very early too, so it didn't really come as a surprise to us.
We're in Wisconsin and it is COOLLLDDD here. We went to baby Gap and got him an adorable jacket to match his hat and glove set from Walmart and just had to take some outdoor pictures. We thought he was cute in onesies in the Dominican but he is WAY cuter in winter clothes in the states! Don't get any ideas, we're not going to leave the home we love for the sake of fashion! Enjoy the pics....
We had about 10 days here where we didn't have a team here and Mike and I did what we do best...renovation. We decided to give the house a little facelift as it needed it VERY badly. No more pukey peach walls. We still have Lando's room and the bathrooms left, but we have 10 more days here after this last team leaves. The Dominican Republic was our inspiration. We're getting it ready for visitors, so you better start booking your tickets now :)
Had to post this picture. This is classic Landon. Whenever anyone asks what Landon is doing, I always answer, "Dormiendo." What can I say, our little guy takes after his parents!
That's right, our little guy went to his first Dominican baseball game! The Cibao Eagles. The team that is here right now are sports finatics so we were able to go to a Pro game with them. We even saw Jose Lima! There were several American pitchers there too who are training in their off-season. Poor guys, lonely and in a foreign country while their families are in the US. But just wanted to post a couple pictures cause he did SO great! Enjoy!!!
Our little guy is getting so big. We can hardly believe it but he is already 16 weeks old! Here are some things about him at this stage in his life:
-He loves to spit and blow bubbles
-He is drinking between 6-7 ounces of milk at every feeding
-He eats every 2-3 hours
-He is 23 1/2 inches long (we don't know how much he weighs, we're looking for a scale)
-The other night he was crying and was saying, "Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma"
-He loves to watch baseball on TV with his Papi
-He can play by himself for about 45 minutes at a time without fussing at all
-He is sleeping through the night from about 9:30pm-7:00am...he'll wake up, eat, then go back to sleep until 9:30am
-He is extremely ticklish and laughs often
-He has a tooth on the bottom that is close to the surface, probably another week and it will poke through
-He ate in a high chair for the first time on Sunday and thought he was the coolest thing since sliced bread
He is so much fun at this age and we're looking forward to watching him change in the next few months. We can't wait for our family and friends in the states to see how different he is from when they last saw him in August and September.
