On to the next Chapter...


Before you begin a new chapter you have to come to a close on the previous one, and that is what we are doing. The time has come to say good bye to our condo. Part of me is really happy to leave - the neighbor upstairs is beyond rude :0.  Packing has been a blast - not really lol! It's been nice to go through things, organize and purge what we no longer need. It's amazing how much stuff you can accumulate! 

Now, in our last few days it is time to start packing Landon's nursery. It's extremely bittersweet. It brings me back to the feelings I had when I was putting it together. I don't think I have ever done anything in my life with so much love and thought. I wanted a room that was catered specifically to Landon and wanted it to reflect the people he came from. As I get ready to take down the hot air balloon mobile, the golf club canvases and the map of the United States I think about the fun/dynamic/and at times impulsive connection between two people. Also the love and excitement... and stories that go with those pieces and the background of pre LB. 

I remember having a hard time leaving the hospital with him - it was where he was brought into the world and I held it very sentimental. I know it won't be easy packing up the last of Landon's things, but I know it's just the end of this chapter. And for better and greater chapters to come, we must close this one. 

I am blessed with one of the happiest, most inquisitive and intelligent babies I've ever met and at the end of the day, all that matters is he's happy and healthy. Everything else will fall into place - what is meant to be, will be! I can't wait for the next chapter in our lives and am excited to see what the future holds!

Eleven Months


I don't know how it's even possible... my sweet boy is eleven months! He has filled my heart with so much love and happiness and it keeps getting better and better!
Landon is doing great! He still doesn't enjoy sitting still next to the chalkboard but I got some cute pics anyway. He loves reading books and has so many words now. He loves playing with his toys and he still gets a kick out of his doggies. Gabbie can run around in circles and Landon falls over laughing, it's the cutest thing ever! We have a few more safe foods, watermelon being his favorite. He took his first steps just after her turned nine months and now he's all over the place. I don't know his current stats but he continues to grow out of his clothes daily (thank goodness for his mommy's tall genes)! He surprises me daily with all the new things he does and how smart he is. I am so lucky to have him as my baby!!

Playing peek-a-boo!






His little personality is awesome!

Life's Precious Moments

Life has been so crazy and I have had so much on my plate. 

Landon hasn't been himself today. I'm not sure if he is having a mild reaction from FPIES or maybe he is coming down with something. So as I lay here writing this, thinking of the millions of things i need to do, my baby boy is curled up on my chest fast asleep. And that is more important than anything.

I am so blessed to be his mommy and be a part of his life! It's amazing how much I love this little being!
