Sweet Memories

I have finally got my computer back after almost three weeks!  Wow, I thought I would never see her again.  I left my laptop at the beach when we went on vacation a few weeks ago.  We had everything packed up and just left it laying there by the chair and my dad's friend had to get it from the condo people and ship it to me.  I'm glad they got it back to me safe and sound though.
  And now it looks like me and T-daddy have some baby proofing to do, Landon is crawling.  Where has the time gone, just yesterday I was bringing home a little bitty Landon, now he is getting in to stuff.  It is amazing how much they accomplish in 5 months.  I have to say, it is getting a lot easier for me now that he likes to play in the floor.  He is content to play with his toys and check out new things.  He tries really hard to crawl on all fours but he gets frustrated because he goes backwards most of the time, so he just rolls where he needs to go.  I can be in the kitchen and he rolls to the door to check out what I am doing and just grins at me like "hey mom, look what I can do".  He loves to paw at the carpet because it is kind of long and he can find one little piece, of paper or something and he will try and get it for 30 minutes.  I have also found that you like me to mix a little rice cereal in your baby food, you seem to like the consistency better and don't make as much of a mess.  You want to steal the spoon so I give you your own to play with while we eat.  I gave you a sippy cup and you had a fit because it you couldn't get it to come out, so we are gonna practice some more. When he is going to sleep after his bottle while I am rocking he finds my arm and just blows bubbles all over it.  Then when he is getting really sleepy he want to touch my hands and hold onto my finger, it is the most precious thing.  I am so happy I am writing this down where when I get old and can't remember I can look to the book I am making.  

Here are some pictures of your favorite things to do!

You use this at MawMaw's house when you go over there :)

You LOVE riding in the green car, you just lay back and relax, it is so sweet.

We have bought you a Radio Flyer for Christmas, but we went ahead and let you have it to ride in because it would be cold soon.

Halloween is not til Sunday, but we are going to go ahead and trick or treat during the day on Saturday at a few places.  You are gonna be a duck and we have lots of people we plan on seeing but we will just have to see how that works out.... lol.
Daddy has been studying for six weeks for his engineering test and it is 2morrow so he is going to go with us a few places when he gets home :)  He has had a few off days and it has been wonderful, I wish he could stay home everyday, lol, but I know he has to work :(  Work can get in the way of a lot of fun sometimes, hehe.  He is the best ever for taking care of us and loving us... he's my glue that keeps me together. 

we had been cleaning out the pool, the yard and house!

This one's for my mom :)

Oh B!!!  How much I love you.  You are the best mother in the whole world.  You keep my boat rocking while Toph is having to work these CRAZY shifts.  I don't know what I would do without your help during these day!  One day when everything settles somewhat, I am getting you a BIG prize :)  I finally understand now when people say "it takes a village to raise a child." It sure does :)  I Love you Granna and G-daddy! 

Pumpkin Patch

Today, we took Landon to the pumpkin patch to get his very first pumpkin.  My MawMaw, Aunt Christi, Alexis, and Mom all went to Belue's Pumpkin Patch in Lexington.  It was so much fun and Landon had a great time.  He played in the corn crib, on a horse swing, petted animals, and went on a hay ride to choose his pumpkin.  His favorite was the corn crib, he was amazed by the corn and we couldn't get a picture of his face all day.  He was way to busy to be taking any pics and wanted to touch everything.  I was kind of worried he might choke the rabbits so he just got to rub them once.  He likes to grab and I knew the poor rabbits wouldn't be liking that.  It was a great day and so much fun.  I wish Toph could have came, but he had to work :(  Bless him... but his team won today so maybe that helped some :)  Happy Fall!

5 Month Old!

Oh me, oh my, doesn't time just fly?  Landon's 5 month birthday was today!  I can't believe it!  Landon is growing entirely too fast, what am I going to do?  Dad, mom, me and Landon are in Gulf Shores this week and it is BEAUTIFUL.  I was afraid it might be to cool to swim and enjoy the beach, but it is actually the best time to come here.  We can get out and about without sweating to death.  Nice.  My little man has grown so much in 5 months.  I am so happy he is doing so well but in a way I am so sad.  I have this feeling that one day I am going to look back and think where did the time go?... I have that feeling a lot, especially when I am tired and not really feeling my best.  I try to remind myself that he is only a baby for a short, short time and enjoy every minute of this special time.  He is one more dandy that is for sure. 

Things you like to do-  play in your bouncer, suck on your hands, stroll, watch TV

Things you eat-  Enfamil (for gas and fussiness), pears, bananas, prunes, sweet potatoes, rice cereal, carrots, squash, mixed veggies, and prune juice.  You know what G-daddy's orange drink is because he gives you some on your passy when you are fussy and you eye that drink from a mile away :)

You are almost sitting up, but not to good on your own..

Your gums itch and you are always scratching them

You love someone to play "creepy mousy" with you

You like to have people around you

You sleep in your pack and play

You love blankets and like to root on them

You wear a size 2-3 diaper and I like for you to wear Pampers the most because they are softer

You go to sleep around 8:30 and wake up to be fed around 1:30 and again at 6

I guess I will bite my tongue...

LoL.. I gotta go get my tongue fixed tomorrow and not a moment too soon... it has been bothering me for 3 weeks... Thank goodness I will be able to enjoy my food again, I have been really missing it.  :)  Landon has been so much fun tonight.  I gave him his first sucker that he got at the fair (only a couple of licks) but he went to town on that thing.  He was loving it.  I guess I know how to get him quiet if I need to.  He sat in his big boy chair and looked at his book for the longest.  He is getting better at sitting up and I think he will be so happy when he can finally get his balance.  He does it for a little while now, but he gets tired.  He's a short little butterball, and he is the sweetest thing I have ever seen.  I love it when he laughs out, it makes my day.  I could sit and listen to him all day long.  Well, pray for me tomorrow.  I don't want to get my tongue cut on, but I am happy to maybe get some relief... Love yall!

LCHS Homecoming

Sometimes I wonder why people are so strange and then I wonder well, "what if I'm the strange one."  Just a thought, but I really have that feeling a lot.  So.... today Landon went to the parade and he liked it.  It was kind of hot and windy, but overall it was a pretty good parade.  He is still a little fussy with his teeth, but it comes and goes.  I bought him tons of toys at the yard sale this morning and he has been in the floor enjoying them.  He's a stinker :)  Daddy bear is at work tonight (we love you daddy bear)...  Landon will probably be putting his AU gear on and rooting for the Tigers tomorrow morning.  I could insert a comment here but I'm not going too :)  And for those of you following my tongue, hahaha.  I am going to have the spot removed on Monday.  Wow, I am so looking forward to that G.  Dad said he hopes it shuts me up for about a week.  I hope it don't hurt too bad, and I guess it will help my diet.. hehehe... Gotta look on the positive side somewhere.  I hope everyone has a great night and some fun football game day's tomorrow.  Roll Tide :)

All about teeth...

Today must have been teeth day for the Wilson fam.  I took Landon to the doctor this morning to see what was causing him to be so fussy and looks like it is the toothies.  He is getting his top and his bottom teeth in at the same time, isn't that wonderful :)  I am glad he didn't have an ear infection or anything worse.  He doesn't like the Dr. and I think he already knows where we are... He didn't want Dr. Moore looking at him or putting anything in his ears.  He weighed 16 pounds and 10 ounces and is healthy as a horse, all except for the teeth thing.  We have to give him Tylenol, teething tabs, and a washcloth (for chewing).  This afternoon Toph and I had dentist appointments as well.  We didn't have any cavities, but my teeth and gums are so sore that I don't want to open my mouth.  I guess that is what I get for skipping a few appointments.  We all got new toothbrushes including Landon and when I got home I rubbed the toothbrush on his gums and he LOVED it.  It must have felt wonderful. On the down side, the thing that I thought that was an ulcer in my mouth is some kind of growth... It isn't gonna go away on its on, lovely.  I have to schedule an appointment with the oral surgeon to get it removed before it gets any bigger.  Whew, it is always something.  Having something cut out of my tongue does not seem pleasant and after I googled it, it seems even worse.  Well, here are some pics of Landon with his Halloween leggings on, just plain adorable with those fat little legs of his.

Fall is in the air!

Lots cooler temps here in North Alabama today, and it felt wonderful!  I actually wanted to get outside today, so I decorated for fall, did some yard work, and pruned my shrubs.  I am give completely out now, whew.  Toph was home today and watched Little Man while I got my stuff done.  I wish it would stay this kind of weather all year round, I like walking out the door without sweating and Landon loves going out and strolling.  He can be having a hissy fit and if we walk outside it's like BAM he instantly stops crying.  That's how I can tell if he is really sick or something, because he wouldn't just stop crying if something hurt.  I think he is getting some teeth, and let me tell you, he has been a little fussy britches today.  He doesn't cry, it's kind of like a whine.  I hope the teeth soon break through and maybe he will feel better.  I sure hope so, because we have a busy weekend ahead.  Toph and I have dentist appointment Thurs., the 101 yard sale and the LCHS homecoming parade on Friday, and the Bama game on Sat.  I think I have forgot a few things we are supposed to do, I am just so tired I can't think. Well, I'm going to bed, the up side to Landon's teeth is that it doesn't affect his sleep.  That is a major plus!

Roll Tide!

Roll Tide Roll!!!  It was a nail biter, but it turned out to be a good one.  We have had a pretty good weekend, except Toph got called in to work the whole weekend.  That stinks.  I can't wait til he doesn't have to work all the time.  Landon wore his new houndstooth diaper cover today for the game and he was a cutie!  We waited til Toph went in for work before we brought it out, lol.  I think his stomach might have hurt tonight, he was a little fussy and spit up a few times.  It is hard to know what is wrong, because they can't tell you.  He might be getting some teeth, I guess we will just have to wait and see.  We have been so lucky with him not being sick.  It has been such a blessing.  All he wants to do is grin, chew his hands, put stuff in his mouth, and roll over.  He looks like a little turtle when he rolls over and sticks that head up.  It looks like I am going to have to head to the Dr. on Monday myself.  I thought I had ulcers in my mouth but I don't think that is the problem.  Guess I will go see what it could be :( 

Show us your life: Master Bedrooms

So I am running a little late today... But I am joining Kelly's Korner and showing my master bedroom in my house today.  I enjoy looking at everyone's decorations... People have different tastes and ideas...  So here it is.. I didn't take any pics of my
armoise or chest.  I got my bed this year though, and I love having a King!

More pics

Today we took Landon to get some pics at Michelle Calhoun Photography.  I can't wait to see the pictures that she took.  I love all the little outfits that we dressed him in... So excited.  I am very tired though, taking pics is like work now.. :)  Lots of planning for a baby photo shoot. Got to carry bottles, extra clothes, diapers, the clothes he is going to wear!  Takes a lot of preparation, but, oh well... it was worth it :)

Footprints

My babies 1st Footprints

 

Landon has started rolling over like a champ this week.  I was beginning to wonder if he was going to and now we can't keep up with him!  :)  I am so happy he is growing and learning new things.  He is so sweet, he just grins at me all the time and it melts my heart.  He is going to get his pics taken at Michelle Calhoun Photography tomorrow and I can't wait to see how he does.  I love taking pics of him.  

A Sad Day, but a Great Ending

Today, my family went to the funeral service of my dad's sisters.  Marva was my dads youngest sister and died at the age of 47.  She had an aneurysm to burst in her head and left her brain dead.  It always plays on your heart "Could I have done something else?"   Marva has three young sons that need prayers.  Please pray that Jesus will touch their heart and give them comfort during this time.  Thanks So Much.

The good new is..... Someone in my family got hired at TVA!!!:)

A Sad Week

This has been a sad week for my family, especially my dad.  His sister, Marva, died on Saturday at the young age of 47.  She had an anuerysm two days before, and it left her brain dead.  It happened very quickly and it is always hard when it happens to someone in your family.  I know I didn't ever get to see my Aunt Marva, but she was my aunt and she always called me on my birthday no matter where she was.  She has three kids and I know that this is hard for them, because they have already lost their dad a few years ago.  Please pray for them.  The funeral is tomorrow and this will be the first time most of my dad's family has seen Landon.  The sad thing is that we really only see them at funerals and that sort of thing.  Thanks for all the prayers for my aunt, it really means a lot. 

Show us your life: Living Room

I decided to join in on the fun with Kelly's Korner and show your living room.  This is a fun way to see what others are decorating with and get some fun ideas.  My living room looks a lot  different now with little man being here, his toys are my main decorations, but I love it!  I don't have as much time to spruce things up with fall decor, but thats okay...  Maybe in a week or so I can get my pumpkins out. 

The view from the couch

By far, the best decoration I could ever have in the world!
