4 months!

Landon,

Oh my word little man... where has the time gone?! Crazy to think just 4 short months ago you were in my tummy! How in the world did you ever fit in there? Now you're out here in the big wide world "talking", drooling and laughing like crazy. I love you to pieces...

Some new things that you love is bath time! This makes it much more enjoyable for mom and dad. You love getting a good scrub down and having the water pretty warm. Your hair is coming back in (which is too cute!) and you like when daddy washes your hair/head. :) Someday soon (I'm sure) you'll be able to sit up and enjoy splashing. Can't wait for bath time to be longer than about 5-10 minutes! 

You wake up so happy. It's one of my favorite things - even though you get me up so early, it's so worth it to be greeted with your big gummy smile and giggles. You're becoming a better sleeper and can't quite stay up as late as you used to. 

Since week 1 - you have been so ALERT! Taking in the world around you. You get bored pretty quick and always want something new to play with or do. Everyone has always comment about how alert and happy you seem. You've been smiling since week 1. I also love that you're looking for us around the house. Mom, Dad or Moose. You wanna know where we are. :) It's crazy how you've caught onto things.

You have also discovered your feet! It's hilarious! Never fails... on the floor, during diaper changes...when you bust out of your swaddle - you have your feet in your hands. It's adorable. Your reaction was kind of like... Have I really had these all along?! and I never knew?! 

We can't believe it (and neither can Dr. Travis) but you are cutting teeth!!! Two little ones on the bottom... and it's making you pretty unhappy at times. We are finding ways to make you more comfortable and you've found that chewing on your thumb makes it all better. ;)

Dr. Travis said you look and act more like a 6 month old than a 4 month old! You are just a big healthy boy and growin' just right. But a little to fast for mommy's liking.

Still so humbled that God has entrusted you to us and you've brought so much joy into our lives.  We can't really remember what life was like before you. 

"I hope you don't mind if I put down in words... how wonderful life is now you're in the world."

Love you pumpkin - to the moon and back again,

Mama

It's a wonderful life!
