Thankful

We had a great time with Seth's family. It was so good to all be together and to reflect on what we have to be thankful for.

Here are some pictures of our Thanksgiving:


Landon and Aydan were just talking and smiling at each other like this for several minutes - it was so sweet.

6 Month Stats

Landon had his 6 month well child check yesterday. He had a couple shots which are just no fun, but he did great.

Here are his stats:

Weight: 17lb 8oz (50%)
Height: 28 1/4 inches (95%)
Head Cir.: 17 3/4 (80%)

So, he is a tall skinny baby with a big head :)

This weekend we are going up to Iowa to visit my family. We haven't been up there since Labor Day, so we are very excited. Of course, I still need to pack (I have always been a procrastinator...) and we're supposed to be leaving in 3 or so hours! Landon is very excited to see his Nanny & Bumpa, aunts & uncles, and his cousins. His 5 year old cousin, Clayton, is especially excited because he is "going to teach him tons and tons of things" as he told me the other day. A few weeks ago Clayton lost his first two bottom teeth and Landon got his first two bottom teeth in - the only two boy cousins on this side, they have a special bond.

Here is a picture of those pearly whites - the best I can do for right now. Landon can really say, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!" We'll see if he gets his wish.

Peek-A-Boo

One of Landon's favorite things to do lately is play Peek-A-Boo. Here is a clip of Seth playing with him.

A Neat Family

I found this blog a few months ago and have been following this family's story. They have had 5 miscarriages, they have one adopted son and they are now waiting for their soon to be second adopted baby girl to arrive. This family has had such a roller coaster ride, but through it all they have given God the glory. It is so encouraging to read.

The mother of the baby is having a c-section at 11:00 Eastern time this morning. Pray for a safe delivery and that all will go as planned.

Happy 1/2 Birthday Landon!

Today Landon is 6 months old. I can't believe how fast it goes! I'm sure I'll be saying that over and over with each birthday, but time does really fly.


A few updates on my little man:

He got his second bottom tooth in the other day.
He can now sit up on his own.
He's still not to into baby food.
He has the "scoot" down and can get anywhere he wants to go, but is still working on getting up and moving on all fours.
He says, "Mamama" Not sure if he knows what he's saying, but he always says it when he's sad and wants me to come get him.


We are just so thankful for these last 6 months that we've had with our precious boy!

Learning Early

Layla and Finn came over the other day and all three of them wanted to play the piano at once. I hope they continue to like the piano!

A visit from cousin Aydan

Brady, Mandy, and Aydan decided to visit Tulsa after the weekend in Topeka since Brady had Monday off. Here is a family picture that we took while they were here.

Landon's Love of Car Noises

This past weekend, we went to a marriage conference in Topeka. It was a very challenging and encouraging time. Landon did pretty well most of the trip. We took this movie on the way up when we had stopped to let him wiggle around. We figured out that honking the horn stopped him from crying :)

Meat Sale (Tulsa area)

Every month there is a great meat sale in Owasso. If you live in the Tulsa area, you've got to check it out. Here is this months flyer. The sale is 11/8 and I recommend you get there as early as possible as the last few times the line has been incredibly long! Hope you're able to find some great deals.
