Fun times with Landon!
We got out Landon's exersaucer too. The seat spins around the table so that he can play with all the different things. His feet are no where near the ground yet, so we have to spin him for now. He stares and stares at all the toys.
We recently had our first poop explosion incident. It was up the back, out the sides of the diaper, all over the onesie and pants. YUCK! Kris wanted to cut off the onesie, but I voted against that. Luckily, we were able to pull it off down his legs and stretch the neck a little bit. It took forever to clean him off, and then Kris took on the task of washing out Landon's clothes in the sink. It was so gross, but we survived. Thank heavens we were home!Landon is very funny when he sleeps. He starts in one area of the bed and ends up in another area. I always put him on his elevated sleep positioner, but he slides right down and around. I was cracking up when I caught him napping the other day with his hands above his head. His Papa does that too!
Speaking of sleep, Landon still sleeps great at night. However, naptimes are a little more challenging. Most days he will cry for a bit before falling asleep. Then many times he tends to wake up easily, and sometimes he'll wake up after just a little while. Therefore, I am a nazi about being quiet during his naptime. I'm afraid that any little sound in the house is going to wake him. It's funny because when we're out of the house, Landon can sleep through anything. He snoozes right through the loud music at church!
I'm a quiet little mouse during naptime. I still keep his door cracked as he continues getting used to his room so I can peep at him. I turn the tv way down, whisper on the phone, and hate to cook anything in the nearby kitchen. In fact, the other day I needed to open some cans of peaches (for a yummy peach cobbler!), and I took the can opener across the house into our bathroom. I plugged it in there and opened my cans. I'll also go into our bathroom to open a coke can. I also won't run the dryer when his clothes are in it because of all the snaps on his onesies and bibs. Paranoid? Yes. Crazy? Maybe.
But I have learned this- NEVER WAKE A SLEEPING BABY! It doesn't matter who is coming over, what is happening, who wants to hold him. You don't wake him or you will pay for it later. So, I am a little mouse creeping around my own home. Soon I will start shutting his door and relying on the monitor. Until then, I am a prisoner in my own house because I want my child to sleep! Oh, the days of our lives!

First St. Patrick's Day!
Here's Landon above in his outfit from his fabulous Aunt Heather. Landon is never still so it was hard to get a good shot. Below the frog and shamrock on his thigh it said "Mommy's Lucky Charm"!
Here's my two favorite men, Kris and Landon, in their green!

Random act of kindness
This is our home, and the note was from our new homeowner's president. Part of it said, "Thought you might like a picture of your house, in the midst of the falling snow, to enjoy and appreciate."
Well, then I felt like dirt! I ran out and caught her and told her how nice I thought that was. (We had a nice talk and she emailed me the picture as well.) I had told Kris that I wished we had gone out to the street and taken a picture. I was lazy and we stayed on the porch. This lady, who is a stranger to us, took the time out of her snowy day to take a picture of everyone's house in our neighborhood. Then she took the time to get them developed and deliver them to each house. How kind is that?
It's a simple thing, but I've been thinking about it all week. What a random act of kindness! It got me thinking that I need to perform more random acts of kindness myself, especially knowing how great this one made me feel. Isn't it great to know that there are still kind people out there?
