Chubby Cheeks

 

Landon is 2 months old.  He's continuing to grow like a weed.  At 9 weeks, he's 12lbs 14oz and 23.25in.  Now those are some chubby cheeks!

In the last couple weeks he's had his first hotel stays.  Two weekends ago we were in Hayward for Shani's chiropractic seminar and this past weekend we were in Palo Alto for John's psychology seminar.  These were also his first "long" drives (i.e., longer than 20 min) and he did great.  Hopefully this is good practice for when we go to Yosemite next month.  Packing for the weekends were quite difficult. We had no idea how much he would need.  We shared a suitcase, but Landon had his own.  Although a majority of the suitcase were his cloth diapers (didn't know how many he actually goes through each day, yes we brought plenty!) he still had quite a few outfits.  Hopefully we'll get this down soon. 

Landon also had a play-date with his two girlfriends, Sophia (4 months) and Claire (1 month), and his buddy Lucas (2 years).  Us three moms and our husbands all went to Cal Poly SLO.  Landon finally fit into a onesie we got from there.  It's never too early to indoctrinate your child!

For Christmas Grandma Mac brought some things she found in her trunk that John had when he was a baby.  One of these was an outfit that Shani thought was a Halloween costume.  Boy was she wrong.  Wednesday mornings John gets Landon ready while Shani is at a networking meeting then she swings by and picks him up on the way into work.  Last Wednesday this is what Landon was wearing when she picked him up.

As you can see, Landon has definitely started smiling the last couple of weeks.  He has given us a couple giggles but no belly laughs yet.  He's also started gabbing which is fun to hear.  And he's found his left hand and keeps it close to his mouth.  Does this mean he'll be a lefty?  John hopes so.  He would like him to be a lefty pitcher and have his college paid for.  No pressure!  Anyway, here are some more pictures from the past month!

No need to buy a swing when you have a Daddy swing!

Although quite a big boy, he's still so sweet and small
