Fall Is Officially Here

Out of nowhere, Fall decided to show up without no warning. It was summer; bright and very hot. Then all of a sudden, the cold air started blowing and the leaves started changing. I am actually very excited to experience all 4 seasons, im not used to that. And I heard that it's very beautiful here in Idaho, so we shall see :)

Landon and I went on our usual scheduled walk today; but it was so cold that Landon was getting very cranky. So mommy had to make the walk short. But I still got some cute pictures of Landon in his stroller before he decided to throw a fit. Now I can dress the little man up in his fall/winter clothes before they don't fit anymore. very happy about that!! Well keep posted because I am just waiting to find a big pile of beatiful autumn leaves here; so I can put Landon in them and take pictures. Man, having a baby sure turns you into a picture-o-holic :)

It's All About Baby Steps

Yesterday was just a normal ol' day with Landon; so I thought. We woke up, fed him, gave him a bath and he watched his usual morning cartoons; while mom made coffee and took a shower. Afterwards, I brought my little man to his changing table to of course, change him. When i'm all done and he's all clean i sit him up with one on my hands supporting him, while my other hand was throwing away his dirty diaper in his diaper genie(which i LOVE by the way, couldn't live without that thing!). And when I look back up, little Landon doesn't even need my hand to support him, it looks like he is sitting up all on his own, so I take my hand away. AND WOOOHOOO!!! Landon is sitting up all by himself, for a good minute or two straight. I was shocked, I think I even let out a happy shout, haha.

Well of course, I thought this was a one time thing and no one would believe me seeing as he is only 3 1/2 months old... and for a 3 1/2 month old to sit up by themselves is pretty incredible.

So i tested out Landon's sitting abilities when Jason got home from work. And WOOOHOOOO again, he did it, and this time for a good 5 minutes straight, it was amazing. Jason couldn't believe it either. There was even one moment where Landon looked like he was going to fall over to his right side, but nooo... we waited to see what he would do, and he stopped himself with his right arm/hand and proped back up. It's craziness I tell you. It seems soo simple, a baby sitting up on his own. But it's funny how excited parents get over those simple things that their child does. Landon's sitting isn't perfected, he leans a little forward and wobbles from time to time, but thats why they say, "practice makes perfect."

 So of course we had to take pictures of this whole experience.....

ok!! It get's better (for me anyways!)... Not only is Landon starting to sit up on his own. BUT ITS OFFICIAL, he is sleeping throughout the night now, and I couldn't be happier about that. He usually goes to bed anywhere from 9:30pm-10:30pm, and he wakes up anythere from 7:00am-8:30am. Mommy can finally get her beauty sleep, yay :) Thanks kiddo.

Time flies by...

Today Landon is exactly 3 months old, and I can't believe how fast it went by. Not only that, I am amazed on how much knowledge he has gained and how much he has grown in just 3 months. It's quite amazing! Jason & I were looking at pictures of when he was born; & it boggles my mind not only how different he looks, but how different he acts. He's becoming my little man :)

take this trip down memeory lane with us......

AND NOW LOOK AT MY LITTLE MAN.... GETTING SO BIG!!!

happy 3 month old birthday cutie.

Picture Perfect, Temper Tantrums

So the other day my mom and I took Landon & my nephew, Nick, to get professional pictures done at JC Penny Portraits. It was an interesting experience, to say the least.
So figures, my son giggles and smiles all the time, he never stops. But when it came to his picture being taken the other day, he just didn't want to put on his happy face. I think it had something to do with a strange lady making noises in his face with bright lights and a strange camera. Both Nick & Landon kind of looked at the photographer like a deer caught in headlights. It was pretty funny actually. And after about 15 minutes of picture taking, they were completley over it. I dont blame them!! Nick began to arch his back and throw a fit, and Landon decided to throw up all over his new outfit (notice the spit up in some of the pictures!).
But then it got more interesting. After the picture taking we had to decide on WHAT pictures we wanted and WHAT package we wanted. That took forever and a day to decide; seeing that we got a "new girl" employee who didn't know what the heck she was doing. The babies didn't like that too much either, they don't have the longest attention spans ya know? So my mom held Nick while trying to figure out what pictures we want, and he fell asleep in 5 minutes or so. So Nick wasn't too bad. BUT LANDON, man oh man. He was not happy, he wanted to leave right away. I tried holding him and giving him his pacifier, but he just took the pacifier and threw it across the room. It bounced off the trash can, and went clear across the room on the ground. The ladies were laughing, it was a little embarassing, but that's my son for ya. So after spending an hour figuring out what pictures we what and what package we were getting... we left. And Nick & Landon were pretty happy about that.
I think we won't be getting their pictures done for awhile, at least until they're 1 yrs. old.
You would of never of guessed that we had such a crazy day, by the way the pictures turned out. They're amazing... thanks mom!!!

Bloggin' It up

So I never understood this whole "blog" thingy, but im starting to grasp the whole concept of it. It's a great way for Jason, Landon &I to keep all our family & friends posted on our activities & photos. NOT everyone has a myspace & facebook that we know. So it only makes sense to BLOG :)
So here it is, our 1st blog... and really, we have not much to say. Other than that....were just getting things settled here in Idaho. We just moved into our new home in Meridian, ID; and we love it. Everything seems to be working out in our favor. Jason is still searching for job (so keep your fingers crossed) and as for me... I decided I wanted to go back to work & work part time. Not only to get back into the "work life", but I need to make some extra income for our family. Money doesn't grow on trees, I finally just figured that one out.
Anyways, keep an eye out for new blogs and updates... i'll try my best to keep everyone posted as best as I can. We miss everyone in California, we think about you all always. xoxo
