FIrst trip out of the state for Landon!

Landon has been really alert lately. He looks around and focuses in on things and it is so fun to watch! He loves his little play gym (below) - there are so many bright and fun colors for him to look at. Thanks Nanna!



He also got to meet his aunt Lindsay for the first time a few weeks ago!!



So...Zach is sporting the baby carrier we got at one of our showers---silly boy, he was walking around the living room 'posing' with little Landon loving every minute of it! haha



I got a Moby wrap and was trying to figure out how to tie it-poor Reese was right by me and was one of my first 'victims'! (-; He really enjoyed it, I'm not going to lie. I think he misses being my only 'baby' around here!



Landon and I got to go spend a few days with my sisters in MN at Aunt Manda's house. Poor little guy was subjected to all sorts of girly things over those few days! Fashion shows, shopping, cooking, chatting, laundry (below!), etc...he didn't seem to mind too much! We had a great time with you ladies!

First Mother's Day!

The weekend before mother's day Lynn and Todd came to visit to meet Landon. We had a great weekend with them. Ashley and Ryan also stopped by - didn't get my camera out though ):






Daddy changing his FIRST diaper EVER! (Notice the blue glove...he wears gloves every time he changes his diaper!! too funny!)



It was so nice out that we went for our first walk-LOVE the stroller. It's been crappy out for the past week though, so we're excited to get out and use it more this summer!!



Mother's Day! Me, Mom, Grandma Bohlen and Landon. We had a grill out at Uncle Doug and Aunt Lynn's house. Caden, Angie and Aunt Sandy were back from Arizona, so it was wonderful to see them!



Angie, Landon and I.

First Week At Home

We were so excited for the boys to meet Landon. They were pretty nervous around him at first, but are definitely warming up to him.




Reese just seems to want to be close to him, it's so cute!



Sweet little cry face



Such a rough life a newborn has! (-:



Aunt Manda took some adorable photos of him while Mommy was napping

Our little "glow worm" as we called him. When we brought him home from the hospital his bilirubin levels were boarderline on the high side, so the Dr had us come to the office the next day for a weight check and for more bloodwork. Turns out the levels were increasing instead of decreasing and he had lost a whole pound since he was born, so he was down to 6 pounds 4 ounces. )-: So, he had to be put on a 'bili blanket' at home (which is better than being admitted to the hospital for sure!) 24/7. We continued to have his blood drawn every day and his weight checked often. His levels have slowly come down over the last few days-we finally got word this morning that they are low enough to come off the blanket!! AND, he's above his birth weight - he weighed in at 7 lbs 8 oz this am!! We are so thrilled!! So, here are a few pics of our little glow worm... Haha



This is the machine he had to be hooked up to all the time-not a huge unit, but a BIG pain, let me tell you! (;



Daddy feeding his first bottle! He did GREAT!



Landon's ONE WEEK birthday! We made cupcakes to celebrate.




Four generations of Larson's! Grandpa Larson, Great Gramma Tammy, Daddy and Zach. They came to see the little guy-we had a great dinner together and enjoyed the evening with Landon and family.

My mom also came to visit for a few days-she was an amazing blessing to have around-this was during the time we had to wake him up to feed him every 2 hours. So, she graciously offered to wake up with him and feed him during the night for TWO whole nights so Z and I could get some sleep---thanks mom! Couldn't have made it through this without your help!!!!


Great Gramma and Grampa Moench came to see Landon also!

Landon Reed Larson

I have been terrible about updating the blog since I was on bed rest earlier in the pregnancy, so...first I must apologize for that! We are so excited to announce that Landon Reed Larson was born on April 21, 2010! He weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces and was 20 inches long. I had a very enjoyable (for the most part) and easy labor. He was so good to his mama. The delivery was so much more amazing than I could have ever imagined! Enjoy the pics! I will try to be better about updating with new pictures of him now that he has arrived!




Sweet little face



Family of THREE! (-: (well, 5 with the big brothers at home, Wally and Reese)



First little outfit-so big for him and it is a newborn size!



Lando-man! Love all of his hair! (I think he has more than his daddy does!)



Proud papa!



Finally get to go home!



Walking to the car



He looks SO tiny in his big car seat! With his friend Owly.

32 Weeks and baby room pics!

Dresser/changing table area



Comfy, cozy chair. Just found the little table to go beside it this past week.



Zach and I tackled putting the words up above the crib on Friday night-wow, was that more work than I was anticipating! It saw "Sweet Dreams, Sleep Tight, We Love You, Goodnight!" (-:



32 Weeks!

30 and 31 Weeks

30 weeks. Getting bigger by the minute!



My girlfriends Lynn and Trish hosted a baby shower for me at my home-it was so amazing! We had such a great time-wonderful food, punch, friends and fellowship! Thanks ladies!!



Opening gifts!



31 Weeks-I kinda look like I'm wearing a tent in this picture, but this shirt is really cute from the front! (-;

29 Weeks

Went to the Doctor this week and found out my belly is measuring about 3 weeks ahead of schedule! (-: So, for those of you who have been telling me I have a huge belly, there's the reason! We probably have a good sized little one in there. We haven't measured him lately to see how many pounds he is, but probably will sometime this week.

Zach has been hard at work building cabinets for our laundry room for the past couple of weeks. Today we (meaning mostly his dad and him!) got the big piece hung and it looks REALLY great. I'll post pictures when things are more organized in there, right now it looks like a tornado hit that room!
