On the Move

Now that Landon has started moving, he rarely stops. I convinced Eric to help me give Landon a little hair trim on Thursday evening (fyi...it was not anywhere near as easy as I thought it would be). I decided to take some pictures to show off the new 'do--which looks surprisingly like the old 'do:

Can You Believe This Kid Just Had Surgery?

This video was taken this afternoon shortly after we came home from the hospital.

All Is Well

Landon is home now and resting from his surgery. Everything went according to plan and there were no complications. The surgeon, Dr. Wallis, said that his hernia was actually very large. He was a little surprised by how big it was. When they took me to the recovery room, Landon was climbing all over in his crib and working on drinking a bottle. By the time Eric joined us a few minutes later, he was ready to go. When we stopped by the pharmacy on our way out of Primary Children's Hospital, Landon was on the ground and crawling all over the place. I am sure that the next few days will not be as pleasant as usual, but hopefully not nearly as bad as I had anticipated. Thank you for all of your prayers!

A LITTLE PRE-SURGERY SNUGGLE

PRIMARY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL SAME DAY SURGERY WAITING ROOM. (LANDON LOVED PLAYING WITH THE BABY DOLL!)


AT HOME AFTER THE SURGERY AND SO HAPPY TO EAT!

PS--We got our first peek at Landon's bottom right tooth today while we were sitting in the waiting room at Primary Children's.

4 Wheel Drive

Yep. That's what we call it. Landon has turned into a mobile maniac! He cannot be left alone for 10 seconds or he is sure to be in a precarious and/or dangerous situation. There is no obstacle too great that he cannot find a way over, around, under, or through it. For example, in the last few days Landon has decided that it is great fun to pull himself to a standing position using the couch. This is a lot of fun for him until he loses his balance and freefalls backwards. He also loves to crawl under our kitchen chairs but he inevitably gets stuck and starts to howl until he is freed. He also LOVES it when Allie lies on her stomach to watch TV...he sees this as an open invitation for him to perch himself on top of her back and pull her hair.

Earlier this morning we had our Primary program practice in the chapel. Landon had the freedom to roam the chapel while my attention was diverted to "my" other 80 kids. If I didn't know better I would think he was playing hide and seek with me. I would get one child settled only to have to turn around and wander through the chapel looking under benches for Landon. As soon as I would find him and try to pick him up he would kick it in to high gear and make a run (or crawl) for it. Lucky for me, I am still quicker than he is. I'm sure that won't last too much longer.

This afternoon Eric took Landon to Marci & Phil's house to watch the BYU game. I couldn't resist snapping a couple of pictures of him in his game day attire.

He's not very happy that I was "forcing" him to hold still. But isn't his BYU jacket handsome? Thanks Angie!

His onesie fits! Remember what it looked like the first time he wore it?

Wow, he's gotten so big!
