4 Months Old!

Landon is 4 months old today!  I can hardly believe it.  It is so true what they say...the time seems to go so much faster with your second kid.

So what has Landon been up to?
  • He gave me about 4 days straight of basically sleeping through the night (and I am not talking about the 5-hour time span that is "technically" considered sleeping through the night...who came up with that one anyway?!).  He would sleep from about 7 pm, till 5 am.  Wow!  However, he is now sleeping worse than ever.  He has been waking up every couple hours, and wake up at about 5:30 am for the morning.  This mama is feeling a little sleep deprived.
  • He loves doing the "Happy Baby Pose." 
    • The debate is still out on thumb sucking vs. pacifier.  Part of the time he only wants his pacifier.  Another part he wants nothing to do with it OR his thumb.  The other part he will spit out his pacifer and pop that thumb in his mouth.  
    • He is SUPER ticklish.  It is pretty much a guarantee laugh out of him if you tickle his belly, his neck, or his armpits.



    • He is starting to get on some sort of nap schedule.  I feel like it should be a little better at this point, but I don't really know when babies really start having a solid schedule.  He will take a short morning nap around 9:00 or 9:30 am, and afternoon nap sometime between 12:00 and 1:00pm, and an evening nap sometime between 4:00 and 5:00 pm.  However, they are only lasting about half an hour.  I think part of the problem is that he is still in our room, and we sometimes have to come in and out, and I think that may occasionally disturb him.  I am eager to get him in his own room once we move into the house! 
    • He tuckers out for the night between 6:00 and 7:00 pm.  If we try to go past that 7:00 mark, it is almost a sure bet that he is out, wherever we may be.


    • He has rolled over a couple of times, both from front to back and back to front.  But he hates tummy time, and we can't seem to get him to do it more.  He seems like he will be doing it more often soon, as he is often rolling over onto his side.
    • He loves his Lamaze elephant toy.
    • He is starting to chew on everything...his toys, blankets, my hand. 
    • Landon rarely cries.  Usually only when he is tired or hungry.  Seriously...he is such a happy baby.
    • He is getting more and more curious everyday.  He loves to be upright, and his eyes get huge while he is looking at everything around him.
    • He loves to "stand."
    Our family has been so blessed to have this sweet baby.  We feel so lucky everyday to have him, and while these four months have gone by too fast, it also seems like he has been here forever.  We sure love little Landon.




    We have his 4-month well child visit on the 24th, so I will update with his stats then.

    Landon is such a cutie! I love the video of him laughing... such a cute sound and a sweet smile! And Cruze still likes to grab and hold his feet... they should totally get together and have a happy baby pose party! The pictures of him passed out on the couch are priceless. Him and I can have a "Its-been-a-long-day-and-I-can't-keep-my-eyes-open-past-7:00-and-this-couch-is-looking-pretty-good party". Doesn't look like he knows whether he prefers his pacifier or his thumb either, but he sure is keeping both close by for when he does make up his mind.
    I am sooo sad that I haven't met this little guy yet... hopefully it won't be much longer!

    Oh my gosh, those giggles were SO Cute! I love happy little baby giggles! Teya was watching this with me and she was like, "Who is that baby? I don't remember that baby being at Miley's house!" haha! I tried to explain that he was just born like Camden but mostly I was just impressed that she remembered you guys! not bad for moving when she was still 3!

    I loved the laughing video! A baby's laughter is the best sound in the world! I can't believe that Landon is already four months old--it literally seems like he was just born. And it looks like Miley is a great big sister to him:)
