updates...

First of all, we are celebrating the life of Darren's grandma and Landon's great grandma Anna who passed away peacefully on Monday. We are heading to Fargo tonight for her funeral tomorrow morning. We were able to see her on Saturday and Darren was able to introduce her to Landon. Even though she was not responsive, we believe that she could hear us and was very happy to meet him!
We are still waiting to hear back from our realtor regarding our offer we put on the Buffalo house on Friday. We are getting more and more anxious! I started packing on Monday and we are in the process of finding a storage unit. Our renter moves in August 10th, so we have less than three weeks to pack and move out. This is getting a bit stressful says my "plan-ahead-everything-in-order" personality.
Landon is now 5 MONTHS OLD! I took him to see Dr. Fandel on Monday for a follow-up ear check and she says his ear drums look beautiful. She said she would never be able to tell that he's had ear issues by looking at them! That's such good news for us...we were starting to get worried. We're keeping our fingers crossed that they stay that way! He weighs a whopping 18 pounds, 11 ounces and is healthy as can be! That's all for now!

Our offer is in!

We put in our offer yesterday on the Buffalo house! What a relief to have that all taken care of. now we just sit and wait. Our realtor thinks we could hear back as early as today, but more likely on Monday. We are heading to Detroit Lakes for the weekend, so that will help to keep our mind off of it. We are hoping to be able to get to Fargo tomorrow sometime to see Granny Anna. She is in hospice care. Eddie and Deanna were called up to Fargo yesterday to be with her. Please keep her in your prayers!

We're Going To Be Homeless!

We finally made the big decision and put our condo up for rent. Little did we know we would find a renter the first day! So, we will be moving out and our new renter will be moving in as of August 10th! We haven't quite decided where we are going to move to but we have a few options so we are still discussing that idea. We looked at a home in Buffalo today that we absolutely love love love. Hopefully we will be putting in an offer tomorrow and we're keeping our fingers crossed that this will be our house! Stay tuned...

4th of July Weekend

We had a wonderful 4th of July Weekend! Landon was such a good boy all weekend. We stayed at the lake cabin from Thursday until Sunday...it's amazing how much we had to pack to stay that long! On Thursday we just hung out at the lake and Daddy met us there after work. Friday we spent the day at the lake and then went into Annandale to the carnival and watch Uncle Loren play softball. We ate lots of greasy carnival food! Mommy and Daddy stayed up late with Uncle Chad and Auntie Jess while Landon and Lilly went to bed. Saturday we got up and went to the parade, carnival, and then back to the lake. We went to Ramseys for dinner and the fireworks. Then back to the lake for one more night! Sunday we relaxed and took lots of naps to recuperate from the long weekend. We had a nice dinner at the lake with Great Grandma Fouquette, Auntie Susan, Great Grandma and Grandpa Hegle, and Grandma Rita and Papa Bear. We got home Sunday night. Landon was so happy to take a bath at home and sleep in his own crib again...so were Mommy and Daddy! We can't wait until next year!

Of course, some pics from the weekend...

Landon's First Solid Foods

Dr. Fandel gave the okay for Landon to start on solids at his 4 month dr. appt. last week. We anxiously waited for Daddy to get home from Michigan so we could give it a try.

Here are some pics...

He wasn't quite to sure what to think during those first few bites...

He ended up making quite a mess! He didn't really care for plain cereal, so we added some sweet potatoes. He loved that!

Landon loves his sweet potatoes mixed with cereal!

Landon is 4 Months Old Today!

We can't believe how fast our baby boy is growing up!

He has his 4 month dr. appt. today and here are his stats:

weight: 16 lbs. 11 oz. (84th percentile)

height: 26 inches (86th percentile)

head circumference: 43 3/4 cm (86th percentile)

The not-so-good news is that he has another ear infection! Mommy took him to the dr. this past Monday for a bad cough, but his ears looked fine then. Guess they went downhill in the past three days! He's on another antibiotic and the dr. wants to see him again in one month to make sure his ears are all cleared up.

Landon had two shots today and one oral vaccine. He did really well...only cried for about 30 seconds and completely calmed down when the nurse started blowing bubbles for him. He loved that! We might have to go out and buy some bubbles for him now. Mommy didn't even cry this time either!

Time for new pictures:

Here are some highlights from the last month:

*Landon went to the cabin for the first time. The weather hasn't been all that great so we haven't spent much time there this year, but hopefully soon!

*Grandma Susan came to stay with us during the week for two weeks in a row so that Landon didn't have to go to daycare when Mommy went back to school. Landon and Grandma took lots of walks, read lots of books, played, and napped together.

*Mommy has been off work for the summer so we have spent lots of time together...it's great! We have been taking lots of day trips to keep us busy. Play dates have been so fun!

*We went to the Buffalo Days Carnival and Landon rode on the carousel for the first time. So fun! We wish that Mommy would've had her camera that day.

*Landon rolled over once from his back to his tummy. It has only happened once and he doesn't seem the least bit interested in doing it again. Maybe this next month! He has gotten really good at sitting in his new Bumbo seat and loves to stand up with support. He thinks he's pretty cool when he's standing up!

Some new pics...

Time for some new pictures...

Grandma Susan came to stay with us for the last few weeks of school so that we didn't have to start daycare until Fall! We had so much fun!

At the pool with Cousins Bailey and Sam- Uncle Nate and Auntie Charlene were there too!

Hockey Playoffs- Daddy is so proud that Landon loves to watch hockey!

It's been awhile, so I thought we'd get some new pictures of Landon on here! His 4 month dr. appt. is this upcoming Thursday, so we will update after that!
