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!)
