A Day in History

Landon is now five whole months old. What is he doing, you ask? Well, keep reading - - - As of about a month ago, is eating baby food and rice cereal. So far, he's had peas, prunes, squash, carrots and green beans. I can't get the peas, prunes and squash into his mouth fast enough (he is his mother's son!). I assume because they are all sweet (it could also be learned behavior being that I have the unfortunate tendency to inhale my food). He mostly spit out the carrots and green beans but we'll keep trying. He is rolling over from back to tummy and getting his arm out on his own! No teeth yet but I suspect when they come, there will be many; he's been working on them for some time now. He is playing with his hands and has discovered his toes in the last 3 or 4 days. He grabs for toys and pretty much anything you put in front of him. Of course, everything goes right for his mouth! About a month ago, a friend of mine found a rainforest jumperoo at a garage sale. She picked it up for me and after I sanitized the crap out of it, I put Landon in it and he loves it! He gout the jumping down right away. When he's in the bouncer, he looks like a little puppet; like somebody is controlling his feet with puppet strings. Also, he spins the little rattle and loves to hear the monkey and elephant sounds it makes when he bounces. It has been just an incredible joy to watch him change every single day. It's amazing how children change your life! I have a new found respect for my parents. When you come to the realization that your parents love you as much as you love your child, it's amazing. There just isn't any way for you to comprehend that until you have your own! Please enjoy the pictures and thank you for your continued prayer for us as we take this leap of faith! I'll be working for less than 6 more weeks!! Until next time...
