Family Ties

Landon has visitors! His Aunt Jenni came to visit him last week, and now his Aunt Andrea and Grandmother are visiting him this week! He loves being held and carried around by them, and especially loves talking with them. If you haven't met Landon yet, you can't appreciate how vocal he is...he constantly makes noises...grunts, groans, coos...I'm pretty sure that he is going to ask me for his own cell phone the second he learns to speak! He tried the grab the phone from me today so that he could hear the caller better!

Baby Vogue

Everyone has been telling us to take plenty of pictures of Landon while he is "new", since we will never believe how quickly the time passes, and how quickly he grows up. Luckily, our good friend Ashley loves babies and photography, and volunteered to come over and take some pictures of our little one. She is always so good at documenting the events in her family so we were excited for Landon's photo shoot, and also unsure of how he would like all the attention. Turns out we needn't have worried...

Us: "Wonder if he will keep his eyes open for some of the pictures?"

Landon: "Amateurs...I'll give them 'Blue Steel'..."

Us: "Hmm...he seems to be following the camera around to make sure his face is in every shot"

Landon: "Get ready for this next one...Mom made me watch America's Next Top Model while she was pregnant...my 'broken-down-doll' pose is going to bring the house down"

Us: "Might as well get some pictures of his cute little butt since we are changing his diaper anyway..."

Landon: "Yes! Now I can do my homage to George Costanza's 'Timeless Art of Seduction'!"

Note: this last little bit really happened AND we have the pictures to prove it. But, those are staying in the archives for now...
