Welcome to the world, Baby Landon!

Our precious little man arrived this morning, April 25th, at 11:11am. Same birthtime as his mom and same date as his dad, cousin Jordyn, and of course, Jesus! We finally named him after he was born and it was a name we hadn't even thought of until we saw him...Landon Michael Perry. 

A funny story...two different friends at church last night told us that their wives went into labor after watching a movie. So I went home and watched a movie, and voila, contractions started around 11:45 and my water broke at 12:30. About 11 1/2 hours after it started, he was here. And he's been a great baby so far! 

Quick facts:
7lbs 15oz
20 3/4" long
big feet and hands like his dad
blond eyelashes and eyebrows
the loudest voice in the nursery when he's cold or otherwise unhappy
he has the cutest dimple in his chin
already sucks on his hands and thumb...hopefully he'll be a good self-soother!

Here are some of Landon's first moments in photos...

  8. He is just gorgeous! And I love it that he has a dimple in his chin! That means he's going to be a moviestar, or at least look like one! So happy for your family of three! Congrats!!
