Pumpkin Carving

This evening we carved Landon's pumpkin he picked from the pumpkin patch. Landon was very excited to carve his pumpkin and use the special carving knife w/ Daddy.

He insisted on wearing his apron from hsi play kitchen so he did not get dirty-he is my child after all. He enjoyed 'gutting' the pumpkin & taking out the 'yuckies'.

Once they were finished getting the yuckies out. Landon chose the smile sticker from the book & told Daddy he wanted the pumkpin to have square eyes.

Daddy carved Landon's name in the back of the pumpkin. Landon is very excited to see his pumpkin all lit up tomorrow evening.

Movie Night

Last Saturday evening, Landon & I had a movie & popcorn night. He chose to watch Barnyard.

It was nice to sit & relax w/ the little guy & enjoy the evening w/ him. He was excited because Mommy let him stay up late. He loved the popcorn too.

Ten On Ten

Ten on Ten:

Take a picture every hour for ten consecutive hours on the tenth day of the month. Here's what my day looked like:

The boys after breakfast. We did Landon's 'homework'.


Played w/ Liam-poor guy is teething & puts EVERYTHING in his mouth!



While Aaron had the boys at church, I washed & folded all of this 9-12 Month clothing for Liam.

I also enjoyed a cup of coffee & some of my fav movie-Bride Wars.



I pumped....and pumped.....and pumped some more!

Went to Norlo Park w/ Pappy & Nana & watched Landon play baseball.

And watched Landon play on the playground.

We took a long walk, well, what seemed like a really long walk for Mommy being that this was my first outing, first time out of the house since Wednesday.


We went for dinner after the park & Landon & I shared an ice cream cone.


Other than spending the day w/ my family, my favorite part of the day was holding Liam for the first time in 5 days!!

Unexpected Dental Appointment

Aunt Connie & Uncle Jeff helped us on Tuesday evening by watching the boys while I was recovering from my surgery & Aaron & my parents were there visiting me. While taking a walk with Uncle Jeff, Gruv, Landon took an unexpected tumble. He was imitating Gruv, walking with his hands in his pockets, was looking up at Gruv & just fell, flat on his face, on the pavement. So when Aaron arrived home, Landon was holding an ice pack to his mouth. Little guy does things good-he had a fat upper lip & knocked one of his front teeth loose.

On Wednesday Aaron called the pediatrician and they advised that he contact a dentist. He contacted our dentist, knowing that he wouldn't be able to get in w/ Landon's dentist in Frederick, and they were able to see him at 1:30pm.

Aaron had a busy morning-took the boys to Nana's, came to the hospital & helped me through the discharge process, stopped up on the 5th floor to meet Emily Grace Rockwell (born on 10-5 at 1:24pm-weighing 7 lbs & 10oz), stopped at Target to drop off Mommy's prescription for some good meds, ran into Alison, who drove Mommy home. Daddy went to pick up Landon & take him to the dentist.

Landon met Dr. Hughes for the first time. Daddy explained to Dr. Hughes that Landon's Uncle was one of her favorite patients, David Crider. Dr. Hughes then pieced us all together-she see's Pappy, Nana, Uncle Davey, Mommy, Daddy & now Landon. Dr. Hughes was very gentle w/ Landon & Landon did very well for her. She explained to Aaron that at this point, nothing needs to be done to the tooth. Landon is supposed to be very careful w/ the tooth, trying to chew his foods in his side & back teeth. She said that the tooth may change to a black color or it may strengthen on it's own, that baby teeth are very resilient. He has a follow-up appointment in a few weeks to check the tooth again.

Landon is doing well with the tooth. His upper lip isn't as swollen and his scab area looks better.

Happy 5 Months Liam!

Liam-

Happy Five Month Birthday!!

What have You been up too?
You are drinking 6 ounces of Mommy's milk every 3-5 hours. Mommy & Daddy have tried feeding you rice cereal 5 times, but you want nothing to do w/ it just yet. You clamp your lips shut & fuss.


You are wearing 6-9 month clothing. At your 4-month well baby check you weighed in at 18 pounds & 3 ounces-our chunky monkey. You are wearing stage 3 diapers.

You are a happy baby.

You are rolling all over the place now.

You continue to enjoy your play mat and all of the toys that dangle from it. You enjoy being in your walker and you rocking chair seat.

You are teething, none have popped through yet, but you sure are trying. You drool contstantly and love sucking on your fingers. You don't really enjoy the teething toys yet. You are talking more & realizing that you can make different pitches & sounds. You also grunt and make a ggrrr sound. So cute!You have had another busy month. Your older brother, Landon, contiues to be a great big brother!He is a big help to Mommy in the mornings. This month, he began using his step stool to stand by your crib & look in on you and talk to you while you were upset. You went to your first Trojan High School football game.
You enjoyed a few more nights at the park watching Landon running around. You spent the day w/ Great Aunt Connie & Great Uncle Gruv while Daddy, Mommy & Landon shared a day of fun at Knoebels w/ the family. You celebrated your cousin, Jayson's, baptism w/ our family in Philadelphia. You began rolling all over the place. You enjoyed a few weekends at Pappy & Grammy's. While we were visiting, you watched Landon fishing. You kept kicking your little legs while Mommy held you, as if you wanted to get down & fish w/ the big boys.
You watched as Landon & your cousin Mason played.


You have spent some extra time with Nanny, Pappy, Nana, Great Aunt Connie & Great Uncle Gruv while Mommy is recooperating from surgery. I am hoping to feel stronger w/in the next coming days so that I can hold you. I miss being able to scoop you up and snuggle w/ you.

You are growing so quickly-we can't believe you are already 5 Months Old!

Daddy & Mommy look forward to all of the new things you'll do this month.

Love you!
