Landon's 4 month appt, baptism and more!

The boys both dressed up in Red for the Thursday before Valentine's Day. Luke had a Valentine's party at school and got sweet treats that day! Rick took this picture before he took Luke to school for the day - Luke loves his little brother! I have been giving the boys a bath together most night, but if I don't put landon in with Luke, Luke can get a bubble bath! Which he loves!
Last weekend it was really nice out on Saturday and Rick did not have to work... so we got the boys ready and went for a winter hike on the trails here in town... Here is Landon getting ready to go

Luke is obsessed with phones...so while I was trying to get Landon dressed for the hike, Luke pulled out 2 air conditioner remotes from a box we have yet to unpack and used those as phones :)


Meanwhile Landon is still smiling :)


Papa came with us on the hike, here we are after we all were ready!



Luke walked for a few minuted then rode in the back pack carrier which he likes a lot

Landon was very tired after all the walking and was fast asleep in the 2 minute drive home


He is growing fast and now can hold his own bottle like a big boy!

On saturday night Rae, Lizzie and Rebecca came up and stayed at Nana and Papa's... we went over for a visit and Lizzie gave Landon hugs! It was SO cute!
Rae and Rebecca played lots with both boys

The next morning was Landon's baptism! He looked so handsome in his outfit!

I have pictures from the ceremony butthey were all rotated when I went to put them in here, and I was feeling too lazy to edit them all.... It was a nice ceremony and the funniest part was Luke running all over the church and Grandpa chasing him through the pews :) Landon loved getting the water poured on his head and he had the biggest smile on his face while the deacon blessed him - so cute.

Luke got to eat cupcakes, so he thought it was a pretty good day!

Hugs for Grandma before she went home

Auntie Dee stayed late and played with the boys. She gave Luke horsey rides which were SO much fun!
Landon was having fun too!

And then he was really tired and passed out with his bottle :)


Landon had his 4 month appt on Tuesday. I was at work so Rick had to take him. He now weighs 15# 14.5 oz - which is around the 60% and just over 26 inches which is around the 85%. I went back to look at where Luke was at this age and this is what I wrote:

"Luke just had his 4 month check up. He is growing nicely and continues to be on the larger side. He is 26.75 inches, which is the 90th percentile and he is 15 # 9 oz. which is the 50th percentile."

So - Landon is slightly heavier than Luke was but a little shorter, which we thought he was longer than Luke was... Landon is laughing out loud and very interactive now. He is a lot of fun. He can hold his head up well and kick his legs and wave his arms. He still can't roll over, but he is 99.9% there going back to front... so he will get it soon I am sure!

Luke has been loving the snow and going outside! He has been asking to go out ALL
the time. He put on Ricks hat, got his shoes and gave me my shoes
the other night - Common mom let's go play!
Here! I got your shoes for you!This picture is from earlier that day when we played out in all the fresh, new snow! We thought it was sticky snow and had planned to make a snowman... but the snow was fluffy... great for skiing, but not so great for snowman making :(
