Father's Day
I know I'm a week late, but here are some pictures from Jeremy's first Father's Day. I just love the picture where Landon looks like he is in awe of the gifts. I am so grateful for the wonderful father Jeremy is. Landon sure is lucky to have such an amazing daddy!

Teething
Yup, Landon is teething. His first tooth officially poked through yesterday on the top right side of his mouth. He has two more trying to come in. One on bottom and another one on top. He just turned three months old and he already has teeth! He has handled it like a champ. I will post new pictures asap, but I wanted to give our family the news of his first tooth!

Update on our lives...
Ok, here is the long awaited update and pictures for our family. Landon's baby blessing was May 3rd and it was wonderful. We are g
rateful for all the friends and family that attended- it 
definitely was a special day. He turned two months old yesterday and is growing up so fast. He is such a happy baby- very active and social. Yes, he still is quite a sleeper- averaging a good eights hours every night In the morning is when he is the happiest and smiles the most. Sometimes he smiles so big that he causes himself to start coughing. I can't wait until the real laughing starts. Jeremy is the best at making him "laugh" but I still say he is a mommy's boy...and we all know why that is!

Jeremy has been really busy with insurance, the hot dog stand in Seattle, coaching the church softball team, and starting up the city league softball team in June. Friday he starts running the stand at Ride the Duck and is really excited for that. He is working really hard for the family and I am extremely grateful he allows me to be a stay at home mommy. It definitely is the best job in the world!
My tailbone is healing up really well. I now only need my donut to drive in the car and go to church. Hopefully I will be completely healed when we take our road trip down to Montana at the end of July. I absolutely love staying at home with baby!

Easter Weekend
Whew! What an eventful weekend it was! Jeremy's mom flew in late Wednesday night from California. Jeremy and I decided to drive down to the airport with Marchelle and surprise his mom since she had yet to see Landon. She just ate him up! He definitely was a spoiled baby this weekend. Friday Jeremy's sister Cristin flew in from Colorado with her two kids Damon and Ella. Damon just fell in love with baby Landon. He hardly let him out of his sight all weekend. Pretty much my job all weekend was the "feeding" machine. When Landon was hungry he was passed off to me and the minute he was done, grandma, aunties, or the cousins had him. He definitely was the center of attention all weekend. I will have to say the highlight of the weekend was Landon actually rolled over! Unfortunately we didn't get it on video, but Cristin was able to catch just a couple of shots in the middle of his roll. He is such a strong baby. He will hold his head up for minutes at at time. We were so excited that he was able to roll over at only three weeks old, but my mom reminded me that the faster he progresses, the sooner he will be into everything! It's crazy how fast he is growing! Instead of writing in depth about our weekend, here are pictures from the last few days.

17 days later...
I can't believe Landon is already 2 1/2 weeks old. It's amazing how fast time flies! We are absolutely loving parenthood, especially since he is such a good baby. The kid is awake maybe two hours total out of the entire day. He is getting so big and has just about outgrown all of his newborn clothes. Today was his first full day out and about. It's been really hard for me to get up and leave the house with my cracked tailbone sitch. He had a doctor's appointment this morning at 11:00- just a follow up with the urology specialist after his awful circumcision experience. All is well now. :) Since the doctor was in Kirkland we decided to drive down to Bellevue to show some of Jeremy's old co-workers the baby. After Bellevue we went shopping to Babies R Us and Target. Landon slept the entire five hours which was so nice. Jeremy is really excited for when he can start taking him to Mariner's games. I don't forsee that happening anytime soon though...
Our families are loving our newest addition. My sisters are ecstatic to FINALLY have a boy in the family. Jeremy's mom and sister come up this week for Easter and to see Landon so that will be a lot of fun. We will be sure to post pictures of the festivities. Here are some pictures from the last two weeks.

We got half of a smile!
First day trying out the "binky". He even knew how to hold it himself. 
Opening day for the Mariners. Daddy insisted he wear this shirt.
Dimples just like dad.

He's Here!!!!

He is finally here! Thursday night I helped my mom train some of the girls on her softball team on how to be a catcher. So, I was squatting, jumping up and down, moving side to side, etc. Basically I was the most active I had ever been in the last nine months. Well, that definitely triggered something- I woke up at 4:48 am on Friday morning with my first contraction. I didn't think too much of it. Six minutes later there was another one. I woke up Jeremy and told him that I thought I was having contractions. So, he busts out the stop watch and starts timing them. Sure enough, five minutes later another one came, and another, and so one. After about 30 minutes they started coming four minutes apart and then three.
So, we called the hospital and they told us to head on in asap. We only live 15 minutes from the hospital, but by the time we got there my contractions were only two minutes apart. Since I had been told that once I went into labor it was going to go really quick form me, I was worried I was too late for an epidural. We got to the hospital a little after 6:30am and met my mom there. I was dilated to six centimeters and my cervix was 100% effaced and ready to go. They quickly called the anethesiologist to administer my epidural. Apparently, I have a little bit of scoliosis that I didn't know about so it was a little tricky getting the epidural in and centered. Finally after about 15 torturous minutes it was in. I don't know how women have natural child birth, but I definitely have a new respect for them! After the epidural was in I was a happy camper. However I was dilating really fast and was about 9 
1/2 centimeters around 11:30. My midwife wanted Landon to work his way down as far as possible before I started to push, so pushing didn't begin until 12:30. 40 minutes later he was out! It was an amazing experience. Definitely a lot easier than I ever thought it would be. I was told that I am lucky to have such a fast labor for a first time mom and that my body is built for delivering babies. That was all Jeremy needed to hear from the nurses and doctor- he is already talking about baby number two! Help! The only bad thing that happened is my tailbone cracked because he was a big boy and came so quickly. Thankfully after three miserable days I was finally given some strong medication to deal with the pain. Other than that, things are going great and we feel so blessed to have such a wonderful baby boy. He is beautiful and we absolutely adore him. Here are some pictures of our little guy but they definitely don't do him justice. :)
