My little Weston turned 5 today! He is such a little sweetheart! He loves spiderman, guns, archery, hunting, riding his bike, and doing whatever his big brother does. He has 5 friends (including Easton) over for a Spiderman party! Everyone had a fun time!
Landon is one month today! In some ways it seems like yesterday that he was born...in some ways it seems like such a long time ago!
I am still trying to figure out this little guy. He has really good days and really bad days. It seems like if we have a crazy busy day, the next day he will be super cranky.
The newness of having a baby around hasn't worn off. The kids still love having him here. They are super helpful--even when I do not even ask. They want to be involved with everything involving him. Jocelyn thinks she is the second mama. I even caught her last week referring to herself as mama when she was changing his diaper and getting him dressed.
I am trying to figure out how to get him to sleep on his own at night. He usually lays on his tummy on me. We can both get a good nights sleep like that. I kind of want to have myself back at night...so we are making progress of having him sleep all night in his bassinet alone! Yay. I realized--well duh--he is a tummy sleeper...so realizing that has helped him sleep all alone. We are on night number 2 of him sleeping all alone!
He has been a pretty sweet baby overall!
Here are a few pics from the past few weeks!
I always love the end result from family photos....however leading up to actually having them taken, is always stressful for me. Trying to coordinate outfits, worrying about the weather, not knowing if the kids will cooperate or not...takes a toll on this mama!
My friend, Julie, is an awesome local photographer, so I knew by having her take our pics this year, they would for sure turn out good and she would make the photo session easy. We had her come over to our house, to alleviate having to haul Landon off somewhere new...since he wasn't quiet 2 weeks yet!
The photos turned out great!! I can not wait to start printing and hanging them on our walls!
If you need a great local photographer let me know and I can share her contact info with you!
We are entering week 2 with Landon! Boy what a joy he has been! He is such a good baby! Granted he has his moments...especially around 10pm...when he wants to stay up....and I am exhausted! On a typical night I am up with him for about an hour to feed, change, and just hang out. Despite dragging to get thru the day, I enjoy this quiet time with him. I catch up on reading the New Testament...I am almost done! Woohoo!
We had a typical week of school with him being around. Nothing has really changed in our routine...what is one more...right?! I am sure we will have our moments soon!
I have taken him out and about quiet a bit, including the park, to run errands, and to church for the first time--he was great!
My friend, Julie, took our Fall photos today...he slept right thru them!
By evening time I am exhausted...but it is all worth it!
The other kids have been awesome! They are always wanting to help. Jocelyn is great with him and has that special big sissy touch.
People have asked who we think he looks like--he definitely looks like Jocelyn when she was a baby. He even has a tint of strawberry in his hair, like she did.
If anyone is bored and in the area, feel free to stop by and meet our little guy. We have had just one neighbor stop by the day we got home...but visitors are welcome!
I am sure I will slow down with taking pics, but here are a few from this past week!
