Landon Visits My Class

Today Landon and I traveled to school to finally meet my students.  I also took cupcakes to celebrate my birthday.  The kids were so excited to see me that they told me an endless number of stories.  They also loved Landon.  They couldn't get enough of him.  It will be hard to go back but part of me does miss the little guys.  

Recognizing our Voices!

It has been fun to watch the changes in Landon.  He is now starting to react to us and we are starting to see a few smiles.  Sorry you have to listen to me. :)

School Shower!

Landon and I getting ready to go to his first party! 

Our staff has lots of babies!  Erin (left) is expecting in a few weeks and she is holding Kelsey's baby Fayth.  Ashley (right) is holding her daughter Paisley.

My amazing staff.  Then Shelley is holding her daughter Grace.

Then there is Asia (left) and her daughter Addison,  Hayley (right) and her son Hayden.

I had to ask questions to figure out what baby supply was on my head.

Landon slept through almost his entire party.  He was party pooped! 

Adi wanted to hold the baby.  A little different than her Baby Alive.  She wasn't sure what to think.

  Cyndee, Marcia, Megan, Kelsey, and Abby threw Landon and I a shower on Monday, March 14th at Baristas.  It was fun to celebrate the arrival of my little one.  We played a game and ate some delicious treats.  Landon loved being loved on by his second family.

Early Birthday Celebration!

My mother-in-law brought me a birthday cake! 

27 candles!  Wow, that looks like a ton!

Celebrating his mommy's birthday.  He is the best birthday present ever!

Kurtis' mom came to visit us for five days and she brought me a chocolate birthday cake from the bakery in Grant.  Their cakes are amazing!  Kurtis was sick with strep throat the first couple days so we had to push our celebration back until he felt better.  However, we were still able to celebrate prior to my actual birthday.

Friends!

Jadyn didn't really know why he was crying.  She looks so concerned here. 

Thanks to my friend Asia for letting us borrow Adi's swing.  I wasn't sure if Landon would like it so I didn't buy one but thought we try it out first. He loves it!  However, he has to be in the right mood for it.

Over spring break Asia and Adi came over to visit and right after they left Megan and Jadyn came over.  It was nice to have some adult interaction.  On a side note, I am so blessed to have amazing friends.  They have been so generous at letting us borrow things.  I borrowed a ton of maternity clothes and pregnancy books from my friend Megan, boy clothes from Hayley and the swing from Asia.  It makes things so much easier when you can borrow a few things here and there.  So, I am very grateful for everything.

1 month!

1 month!  (March 12, 2011)

I stole this sticker idea from my friend Megan.  She took pictures every month of her daughter and I loved it.  Especially since I take so many pictures I will now be able to remember which month is which.  Oh yes, the binky was a must.  At the moment I was taking the pictures this was the only way I could snap them without him crying.  Let's just say he was hungry and not interested in pictures.

Grandma Dudo Visits

Grandma Dudo came to visit from March 10-14.  We wanted to wait a little while after Landon was born before she came so that we could get transitioned as a family.  It is nice to have her here now especially since Kurtis is home stick with Strep throat.   It wasn't the plan for Kurtis to get sick but of course he did the day she came.  She has spent a lot of time loving on the baby while I get a few things done around the house and as I take care of Kurtis.
