Father's Day

Although Father's Day isn't quite as big of an extravaganza as Mother's Day is, we still had a nice one.  It was a relaxing day of spending time with family.  Landon went into the pool for the first time which was a blast.  Our plan was to take Landon out on the boat for the first time, but the weather didn't cooperate.  It was so windy that we thought it might be too choppy out there for us.  Instead we had a relaxing day and then went up to Auburn for dinner with Shani's family.  We then went back to Shani's parents house and swam with cousin Morgan.  

4 Months

4 months

Our little guy is 4 months old today!  He's continuing to change in so many ways.  He is weighing in at 16lbs.  He has started to get quite a grip, even holding onto our fingers and pulling himself to a sitting position then to standing.  

Although he continues to do his "ahhgoo" and "cooo," he's also incorporated a scream/screech.  We are guessing he's learning his voice because this is something that just started.  It's quite hilarious.  He's also quite the drooler.  No teeth buds yet, but they must be brewing because drool is just pouring out.

Landon also had his first stay away from us.  We were in Napa for John's post-doc semi-graduation celebration (he's not done until the end of August though).  About 18 of us went wine tasting in Napa Valley by limo, then a wonderful catered dinner at his supervisor's house.  We decided to make a trip out of it and stayed the night in Napa.  Landon stayed with Nonni and Poppa.  Although we knew Landon would be fine, Shani was a little anxious. But she had a great time and didn't worry much.  We "FaceTime-d" (a ipod app that allowed us to video chat) with Landon Saturday night and then were back to see him Sunday.  It was a great trip for us and Landon was definitely well cared for!

Landon finally outgrew his bassinet.  He's now officially in his crib (he was just using it for naps).  However, the crib was moved (willingly by John) into our room.  Shani isn't quite ready to have him in his own room.  So as John puts it, "Landon has a really cute changing table room."  Yeah, yeah... When he doesn't need to night feed, we'll move him into his own room.  Until then, we managed to make room for the crib in our room.

Happy Birthday Shani! 
(Oh yeah, Shani turned 28 too!)

16 weeks

100 Days

Landon is 16 weeks!  He's weighing in at 15lbs 10.5oz (that's only 5oz this past week!) and 25.5in long.  He's holding strong to those higher percentiles when it comes to weight (75%) and length (80%).  We still think his cheeks carry most of the weight.  He's such a healthy boy, we are so lucky!

Nothing new really in the last couple of weeks.  Our routine of work, work, and more work continues.  Landon continues to do well at the office with Shani.  He's gets to see a lot of new faces being at work.  He definitely loves the time he gets to spend with Nonee as well.  Memorial Day weekend he went for his first swim in the spa.  He couldn't have cared less!  He loves his baths so much, maybe he didn't feel like this was any different.  He just relaxed in there and didn't react much. Landon got to hang out with Auntie Kim, Uncle Josh, and cousin Morgan while we went for a date night to the movies.  Landon loved the attention he got from his cousin!

Landon will be 4 months next week!  Stay tuned for more pictures and hopefully we can get video up soon!
