Can't believe my baby is going to be 6 months!!

Seriously? Where has time gone? He was just a little 8lb 2oz babe when he was born. Now he's 17lbs. Good gosh! Since its been awhile I'll go through a quick update.

Landon is sitting like a pro most of the time. He started sitting Nov 8th unsupport for any length of time. He entertains himself sitting and playing with his toys for 30-40 minutes at time. He's such an easy baby when it comes to that and we are so blessed.



We started rice cereal and more recently sweet potatoes and squash (for Thanksgiving, ya know).



As I mentioned he's a happy baby who loves to smile and loves music.

We've had some issues with STTN and have degressed. Where did my 3 month old that STTN go? I've been reading "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Baby" and since then it seems things have gotten worse. It can be very frustrating at times and Mike and I become very uneasy with each other.

Since my last update my grandmother started experiencing some lower extremity weakness and confusion. We've gotten the run around from many Drs as to what is causing it. She's currently in a rehab hospital and seems to be doing better.

My MIL is also currently in the ICU. She was diagnosed with lupus about 2 years ago and about 5 months ago her kidneys were shutting down at a rapid pace they put her on dyalisis. Her port which she recieves dyalisis through became infected last Sunday and she was admitted to the ER and shortly after to the ICU. That night we recieved a scary phone call that she was crashing and to come say our good byes. Fortnantly she made it through this after having a heart attack due to pushing fluids through very quickly. She is still in ICU, and is having good and bad days. Its going to be a long, long road with many ups and downs. Please keep her in your throughts and prayers.

My birthday was the day before my MIL was admitted to the hospital and a few of my girlfriends and I celebrated by going to see New Moon....oh me oh my! ;-) LOVE IT! Afterwards my husband made surf and turf for dinner and we shared a bottle of wine while watching a chick flick..."the ugly truth". It was a great way to spend my 26th birthday!

Since then all hell has broken loose and Mike and I are both sick. I have bronchitis and most likely he does too. Probably from all the stress we are under with job situations, family, a 6 month old that doesn't yet STTN but....we are trying to manage. At this point all I want for Christmas is less drama!!!!!! OR....

Anyway...don't mind my Twilight humor...here are some update pics of Landon.
