Month 5!

Did 'Month 5' already come and go?!? I feel like I haven't even had a chance to blink yet and we are only 12 days away from Landon being 6 months old!

Landon is getting to be so much fun now as his personality continues to develop into the sweet smiley little boy he is! He is quite the chatter box too as he's discovered his voice and it is so fun to babble back and forth with him! Sometimes it actually sounds like he is saying some words too... we think "mama" will come first as he is really good at going "mmmmmma!" We shall see though, I hear that babies tend to say "dada" first... so not fair!

This past month certainly was a doozy at times! We had our share of visits to the pediatrician this month for an assortment of things: ear infection, thrush, reflux, etc. Those few weeks (yes, weeks!) were so unpredictable, but I'm happy to say that it seems like the brunt of it is behind us. Turns out our little man has a mean case of silent reflux and without a doubt the same witching hour at 5 o'clock on the dot no matter how happy he is just a few minutes beforehand. No matter what though this is by far the greatest experience of our lives and we are so glad this little boy is ours!

LANDON LOVES...
... his bunny blanket, so soft and silky, and loves rubbing it with his hands and on his face
... playing with his hands and holding his fingers
... playing "row row row your boat" sitting on mommy's legs
... football Sundays with daddy
... hearing new voices and seeing new places

LANDON CAN...
... talk and talk and talk, such a chatter box at times!
... hold onto his toys and other objects
... spring up with his legs
... laugh a little like a small chuckle, still waiting for that big ol' baby belly laugh!

Although my post is late, this picture was taken on his 5 month birthday! Pardon the pants... he was in an awkward stage at that time... 3 month pants were too small but 6 month pants were way too big! At least his socks stay on now!




Up next for us next week is Landon's 6 month NICU developmental follow up appointment... eeeek! I am so excited but am already getting nervous! I think I am more nervous for me rather than Landon because I have already started to become emotional about it! Fingers crossed for all of us! :)
