Smiling!

6 weeks-Bathtime is one of our nightly routines and it is a fun time to bond with our little one.  Kurtis had Landon perched like a bird on the bathroom rail prior to his bath and he loved it!  

Playing!

I lowered one of the chimes attached to his pack n' play.  He always hits it as he lays there.  So, fun to watch!

Mobile!

Landon loves watching his mobile spin round and round.  I don't know how many times Kurtis and I wound it back up.

New Class Pets!

Landon and I went to Aurora to pick up my class pets.  Since we are studying insects these little critters are the perfect addition to my lessons.

 Landon was all stretched out while he slept.  Looks uncomfortable but I think he was pretty comfortable cause he slept well. 

Landon and I are traveling bugs since he has arrived into this world.  With only 5 days left of maternity leave we headed to Aurora to visit Uncle Scott at school.  We arrived with 15 minutes left in his school day and we sat in on his team planning.  It was fun to sit in on and listen to what middle school teachers talk about.  His principal was also in there, so he was able to meet Landon too.  After showing him off to his partners we went across the hall to pick out my pet cockroaches for school.  WOW... is all I have to say. The science teacher had hundreds of them.  Luckily I only left with 3; 2 more than I actually wanted.   

Crib Time!

 Mommy admiring her little man in his big bed.  We thought we would try it out after he took his bath. Yes, try it out... during the first few weeks of his life he had his first cold so we had him sleeping in his bouncer so that he was elevated.  Landon and I also slept on the main floor on the couch so it was easier for me to get up and nurse.  Then, we transitioned him upstairs in his bouncer/bassinet.  Now we are in the process of transitioning him into his own room.  It has been hard because he hates sleeping on his back.  The first night in his crib he slept great, that is until the middle of the night when he first woke up.  Then it was hard to get him to stay asleep in there. The moment we laid him down he would start screaming.   We are definitely first time parents and are probably breaking all the rules and digging ourselves a huge hole but we'll get it figured out......... hopefully!

Landon loves watching his mobile go round.  

Visit to my Grandparent's House

 Grandma snuggling with Landon!

 He was so cozy he fell asleep.

During my freshman year of college I went out to my grandparents house almost every Friday night.  Now it is a little harder to get out there.  While on maternity leave I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to head that direction.  My grandma of course made me my favorite meal ever; meatballs, carrots and mashed potatoes.  She also made me a birthday cake!  Landon, Wally and I had a wonderful visit.  We definitely need to spend more time there.
