My Sweet Landon

Landon is such a cutie!  He has done a great job with Bennett's arrival...even though he is sometimes sneaky. ;) 

He apparently grabbed my phone the other day and took some snapshots of himself.

So, why I say Landon is sneaky.  The other day I was attempting to walk on the treadmill and B was with me most of the time until he got cranky.  So I put him in his swing which is in the living room and turned the monitor on.  I could hear Landon pushing the swing faster and I'd tell him to get away because I could hear him doing it.  Well after a few minutes I hear the monitor shut off.  So I go in there and he was trying to pick up Bennett.  I said, "Landon what are you doing?"  And he just dropped him down back in the swing.  Now, it was only about an inch but still.  He said he wasn't comfortable in the swing.  Whatever!!!   

The other day at nap Landon told me to turn on the music (what he says when he's ready to close his eyes) and get my hair off his pillow.  So sweet to his momma. 

I love it when Landon says "Mom, I love you" or when he tells me I look pretty.  He is just so sweet and knows how to make you feel special.  I want Landon to always know that he's loved and to have good memories from his childhood when he's older.  He's very special to us! 

Park Date

Last Monday Judy was over at our house to help watch B because I had my hair appointment on Tuesday.  So Monday afternoon Landon and I decided to have a little date at the park.  We went to Sonic first to get a drink and then went to the Gassville park.

It has pretty good shade and I figured it wouldn't be that busy.  I was right!!!  Well up until school got out and that's when a bunch of random kids came out.  I kept telling Landon not to talk to them...just because I wasn't about to babysit...sorry but parents should watch their own kids.  I never want others to have to watch mine...I had them for a reason!

So here are some of our park pictures.

Me and my big boy :)

We had to swing in all 3 swings they had.

We went over the bridge a few times.

He liked riding this horse...which why wouldn't he...he's a cowboy!

Here is the big, twirly slide that took him awhile to go down.  I'm trying to toughen him up.  He finally went down it (about 10 times) and then he realized he could crawl back up it.  He had fun! 

It was kind of hot if you couldn't tell from his sweaty hair.

We had a lot of fun and we will definitely continue having our park dates. 

1 month picture

So I started thinking...I better take Bennett's monthly pictures in the same place every time. So yesterday I took his picture in our brown chair. This will be easier to see his changes. Enjoy!!!
Oh and Landon wanted his picture taken. That's him at 39 months!

Bennett is 1 Month New

Baby Bennett is 1 month old.  He is such a sweet baby and such a perfect addition to our family. We love you Bennett Lance!!!

10 things about Bennett...

1.  He is wearing size 1 diaper and we go through tons of them

2.  He is eating every 3 to 4 hours and drinking 4-5 oz. each time...he's a hungry boy

3.  He is happy to just lay down and look around-he doesn't have to be held 24/7 even though I'd like

      to hold him :)

4.  He has only been to my parents house, Nana's house, the doctors office, & church for about 5

     minutes.  Our doctor recommended 6 weeks and we are sticking to that.  Only a few more weeks!

5.  He loves being talked to...especially when it is his big brother talking!

6.  He still has a beautiful skin color and blue eyes.

7.  He weighs 12 pounds...big boy!

8.  He tends to stay awake a lot in the morning and around noon he will give in and take a good nap

     (which is good for us because then I can get both boys down for a nap).

9.  He still has a lot of hair and when it is wet it looks pretty curly so we shall see.

10.He does not take his paci like his brother did.  He'll take it for a few minutes but then out it goes. 

     Luckily he doesn't cry much.

Here is some pictures of him on his 1 month birthday.

This picture is a day before his 1 month but it is a good body shot of him!

 Look how well he holds his head up?!?  He's a strong boy!

 Not sure why I can't turn this picture...but here is a picture of my sweet boys!

We went over to Nana's house Monday morning.  Sweet Marsha comes over and cleans every other Monday around noon so we like to get out of the house so we'll be out of her way.  This was Bennett's first trip to Nana's and I think he liked it.  It was nice over there.  Her house is so peaceful and bright. I did try tummy time with B for the first time while we were over there.  He liked it for about 3 minutes.   

 Landon kept telling me B didn't like it and wanted up.  He doesn't like when B is upset.

 Such a pretty day!  I love going for drives.

 Funny boy trying to wake up.

Now here are some random pictures from my phone.

When I was getting Landon ready for school, I put Bennett down on Landon's bed and of course Landon had to get in there with him.  He definitely loves his brother!

I bet before I know it these two will be sleeping together in this bed and mommy & daddy will actually sleep in their bed all by themselves.  Hey, a girl can dream right?!?

Here is Bennett last Thursday.  Who doesn't love a sleeping baby?

When Landon goes to school I get extra cuddle time with B.  With your first baby you can cuddle and hold them all day.  But when you have a 3 year old wanting your attention the second child has to learn to deal with being put down. 

Today is my 29th birthday.  We aren't going anywhere.  Landon is at school so B and I will go get him here soon.  I'll probably go pick up food because the hubs has a bank meeting.  I think they should tell him not to come since it is his wife's birthday.  But guess I'm not that special :) 

Sweet brothers

Landon wanted to hold Bennett this afternoon. It took us a few times to get a good picture-but the other pics were funny! These two boys are so cute and I love them so much! 

 Bennett is probably thinking "someone please save me."

Landon trying to kiss B...which is something he does all the time.

Landon is pretty comfortable holding Bennett.

 

Look at Landon's crazy face...goofy kid!

Here is my favorite picture!

 Landon also took my phone and snapped a few of me and B. Excuse the no makeup and the outfit that doesn't match, but honestly I don't really care what I look like or what I'm wearing right now. I'm taking advantage of my days home and being as lazy as a new mommy of 2 can be.

I think Bennett likes his mommy just a little. :)

Life is good and I'm very blessed to be the mommy to two very sweet boys!
