Where's Baby Henry?

Poor Becky is 4 days past her due date and still very few signs of labor. Please pray for Becky and Henry that they have a safe and healthy delivery! We can't wait to meet our 5th nephew!

Landon and I will be taking his first plane ride to Minnesota the first week in November to meet the baby and visit Grandma and Grandpa Schwartz. We can hardly wait, but I'm already a bit anxious about how the plane trip is going to go.

Shout Out to my Chi-Omega Aunts!

Do you think that Chi O is looking for any good looking waiters for formal dinner night? "Hootie Hoot!"


October 25th and we finally got our first taste of fall weather! So, we got all bundled up and headed downtown to run errands in my super-stroller. All the other babies get jealous when they see my ride! (A gift from the Chi Omegas).
I always fall fast asleep in my cozy stroller. I just love that fresh air!

My Crazy Grandma Hafner

Earlier this week, we were greeted by the UPS man heaving a huge box up our front stairs asking for Landon's signature for delivery. Can you say "Christmas in October?"


The big treat inside (which warranted such a large box) was this cool sort of 'toy chest', which we obviously now need. Thanks Grandma for the "BOX OF FUN!"

Bath Time Fun

We took the infant sling off the tub, and he's now sitting up like a big boy. He loved the extra freedom to kick his feet and splash. He's all smiles in the tub! Landon, you will thank me later for the privacy that the strategically placed duckie provides. LOL




Check out this amazing video of an infant surviving a fall in the pool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aseQsDBJS6c

Being over-reactive (of course), I was having Landon practice floating on his back tonight during bath time. :)

2 Month Checkup


(Love this 'mini-me' picture because Albie wears the exact same outfit to work.) Our 'little' Landon is the picture of health! He had his 2 month check up and immunization shots. He let out this heart breaking whimper when he got the shot, it was so sad!

STATS:
Weight: 14 lbs, 1 oz - 90th percentile
(Guess he's getting enough to eat, huh!?!)
Height: 24 inches - 75th percentile
Head: Don't know the measure, but only the 50th percentile, so he's just proportional there - no beetlejuice or blockhead

OTHER MILESTONES:
He's discovered his hands, so he's always sucking on them or looking at them, like "what are these things?" As a side affect, he's started to drool (a wet mess). Landon loves to sit up and check things out, he's got good neck strength but still needs help sitting up. He shows a lot of interest in his musical toys and rattles. He's not really rolling over as much, but I'm thinking it's because he's so chubby - that's a lot of weight to throw around! And, the best part is the sleeping... 6 hour stretches at night! One night we decided to be a little tougher on him and I just gave him the Nukkie instead of feeding him that time and then the next night, he slept a lot longer. Nap times are going so much better too! I am a rested mommy, finally!

Hoo Rah!

Albie's first childhood friend, Justin Schleinkoffer, just graduated from Marine Corp training. We're so proud of him! We took a drive up north along the Delaware River to have breakfast with the Schleinkoffers before Justin goes off for more training. (Nick, Lori, Justin, Mae, Albie)

Fall Fun

We got the perfect fall day to enjoy out at the Stout's brewery for Octoberfest!
Our little pumpkin slept most of the day.

First Milestones

What an overachiever...
Landon rolled over from his tummy to his back when he was 4 days old. We couldn't believe it! He's still rolling over in both directions every day. Other than that, Landon's busy mimicking faces and starting to "talk" with lots of "eghhs" and "ahhs". At 6 weeks, he's finally sleeping a little longer, 3 or 4 hours at a time. Thank God!

This week has been so much fun (week 6), Landon has really started smiling and cooing.

Little Eagle's Fan

Albie hanging out with the newest Eagle fans, Landon and Rocco (both 4 weeks old). All the excitement must've pooped them out!
We watched the Eagles game at the Reyes's house and celebrated our 28th birthdays.
Check out those beautiful blue eyes!.
