Trip to Michigan for Raina's graduation

 Landon took his first road trip to Michigan for Raina's medical school graduation.  We had a great time!  He slept most of the car ride ... And even slept decent in the pack and play at my parents house (decent is 2-3 hours at a time these days).

I used the Moby wrap for the graduation, and he didn't make a peep!  

On Saturday we went to Frankenmuth for a Mothers day dinner. The food was fantastic, and it was great to spend the day with the entire family!

Here are a few photos from the graduation and the weekend,

Hip hip hooray for the new doctor!  Or ... Is he saying Hail to the Victors?

Weeks 3-5

These weeks have been fun! The weather has been much nicer, so we have been able to get out a lot more. The most exciting thing has been Landon's facial expressions.  He has started smiling a lot, and is starting to show his personality!

He is still only sleeping a couple hours at a time. He wakes up to eat every 2.5-3 hours all night long. but, he has gotten better at falling back asleep quickly during the night. Brian and I have gotten used to his schedule - it is amazing how you can adapt! I am hopeful that we will have a night of 4 hours of sleep very soon! 

His one month appointment went great! He now weighs 9 pounds, and is 22 inches long.  He is 50th percentile for height, and is still 25th percentile for weight.

Here are some of my favorite photos from weeks 3-5

Professional photo shoot

When Landon was almost 2 weeks old, we did a professional photo shoot with Amy Ellert from Into Wishin Photography. Amy came to our house and set up a portrait session in our living room. She was great with Landon!  He was surprisingly cooperative - especially considering that he hates being cold.  Here are my favorite photos from the shoot,

Landon's first Easter

We went to Aunt Barb and Uncle Barry's house for Easter.  Everyone enjoyed meeting Landon, and he was very well behaved!

Week 1

Week 1 had a lot of sleepy days, and not-so-sleepy nights.  My mom stayed at our house for the week ... Which was a huge help!

We went to the pediatrician at the end of his first week.  He weighed 6 pounds, 11 ounces (back to his birth weight), and was 20.75 inches long.

Landon and Brian watched the OSU final four game (Landon slept through most of it!)

First bath! Definitely not enjoyable for the little guy!
