Sorry for the delay. This has been a big month for Landon, and holidays and you know...summer. Landon turned 6 months on the 4th of July. I can't believe it, it has gone by SO fast! I miss my tiny little baby! It is so fun to watch him grow, but in the back of my mind I am always realizing how fleeting every precious moment is with him.
Things Landon is doing now:
*Army Crawling! He is getting close to doing an actual crawl, for about a week now he will get up on his knees and rock back and forth. So I know it's coming!
*He is getting pretty good at sitting up. He does topple over though sometimes still.
*He has his first 2 teeth! Oh they were a nightmare when they were breaking through. I hope you have a little respite from the teething for a bit. It's hard and painful work getting those teeth out!
*Saying Mama, Dada and Hhhheeee. He has no clue what they mean, but loves it when we repeat them back.
*Getting his own sense of humor. This kid is weird...lol. Or maybe just like his Mom. But he laughs at very random things. Sadly he is like his dad in the fact that you have to work at getting him to laugh.
*Clapping with his hands open. You still have to do the clapping for him, but I thought that was great!
*Really starting to notice the world around him. We went to the zoo on Saturday and he was actually watching the animals. It was so fun!
I don't have his stats because he is 1 month behind on his shots and well baby visits. But based on when he was last weighed he is probably nearing 18 pounds!! He is a solid kid! The weird thing is though he seems THIN for that weight. He is still wearing size 3 month pants and they are still kind of loose around his waist! He has a very long torso and short legs, just like his Daddy!
I love being a Mom. I feel so bad for women who choose to not have children, they are missing out on one of the most precious, most humbling, most sacred and special experiences a woman can have. I feel like I am finally doing what I was meant to do in this life. And I love it. Don't get me wrong, I have my moments where I feel overwhelmed. But after 7 years of praying for this baby it is easy to dredge up some memories that quickly get me back in line!
Here are some pictures from his 6 month birthday!
