Life With Landon: June 2008

Jun 18, 2008

Here we go.......

I was inspired to make a blog page after seeing all my niece's wonderful pages. I have to say it is so nice to be able to see how the kids are growing. Doug and I do not get around to see the family as much as we should. So seeing the pics of all the great nieces and nephews is a nice treat for us. And of course all of them are gorgeous kids-----after all they are Hales!
With that being said. I am officially welcoming you into our life with Landon.
Landon is my first grandchild and if Lacee stays true to her word as I did, he will be my only one. So I pray for her to have a desire for more kids as I want more grand babies to love and spoil.
Now to Landon.........He is a big boy! He was born big. He weighed 8 lbs 13 oz. and was 21 inches long. He was born on Dec. 9, 2007. He came on his due date and it is said that less than 2% of babies make it on the actual due date. So we of course thought that was pretty cool. Today he weighs in at 19 lbs. 4 oz. and is 28 in. long.
A few Landon facts. He must sleep swaddled every night and for every nap or he is not going to sleep. He does not like most fruit ( niether did his mommy). Lately Grampa seems to be his favourite person to watch. Landon smiles all the time except when he sees the camera or camcorder. We have to sneak up on him to take movies and pictures. His middle name is Pierce. I love his name. Landon is terrified of his exersaucer. I don't know why but he is. It started out that we could sit him in it and then he would look at the toys and scream. Now all we have to do is get his feet near the seat and he screams like he has been beat. Poor baby. So this now poses a problem as he is too big for his bouncer, his swing, and to leave him alone on the floor for any amount of time is not good. He is quick! We do have a play pen for him but he looks like a little prisoner in it. I call it the baby jail. Good thing he likes his high chair.
