Took Landon to get his six month pictures yesterday. All smiles, as usual! Here are just a few (of MANY) favorites.

Better late than never!! It is almost time for his sixth month photo shoot!

First snow

Trying out snow for the first time.

Meeting Santa

Landon and Santa weren't very cooperative for their picture. Luckily, we still have some time before Christmas. I think we may have to try this again. Of course, he was all smiles both BEFORE and AFTER the pic!

Happy Halloween

From Karter the skeleton, Rocky Balboa (ak.a. Kolton), and the cutest penguin around, Landon!

More Fall Photo Fun

Mr. Blue Eyes- This one is my fave!!!

Fall Photo Shoot- Preview

3 months

At 3 months old, Landon can:

• Grasp things (toys, pacifier, and mom's hair).
  
  
• Hold his head up.
• Roll from tummy to back- 3 times now!
• Laugh.
• Smile especially in response to your smile.
• Splash both his arms and legs in the bathtub soaking the person giving him his bath.

He is a very happy baby. The first thing he does when he wakes up in the morning is gives you a big smile. Then he typically plays for an hour before he tires himself out. This is a very fun age. It seems like he discovers something new each day. He has also discovered his hand, arm, and other appendages- who knew that a man's fascination with his privates began so young? He tries to fit his full fist in his mouth! Sometimes, if he's lucky, he actually finds his thumb.

Couldn't forget these:

Grandpa Mele is a natural with babies, and he should be after five of his own!
Cozy with Uncle Luke- my "BABY" brother

First Pontoon Ride

Landon's cousins came too: Kolton practicing his swimming skills
Karter enjoying the water.

And, Grandma Great held him most of the time so he was happy as could be!

Visitors/Admirers

Grace and Cooper have proven themselves to be great babysitters!
My college roommates came out for the day. Here we each hold our own child.

Hanging with my uncles

We were able to go to my brother Luke's football scrimmage and my brother Kyle was home from N.D. so he came too! Kyle feeding him a bottle.

2 month pic

Landon weighed 10 lbs. 11 oz. at his two month checkup. He is 11 weeks today and weighs around 12 lbs.!

One Handsome Dude!

He is starting to smile back at you! All dressed up for a wedding here.

Storm Damage

A storm went through last week leaving these limbs in its wake. All of this just after Kyle had gotten the backyard cleared and had a guy with a bulldozer push out all the stumps. Back to square one!

The smaller trees are still bent over from the wind as you can see in this picture. Landon and I decided to watch from the basement.

What remains of a pine tree. You can see where it snapped right off!

Uncle Luke

Meeting Uncle Luke for the first time. Seems pretty content!

A new friend for Landon

This handsome fellow belongs to our neighbors. I can't even imagine all the trouble Landon and he will get into together when they get older!
