Landon is 4 months old!

We visited the doc today for Landon's checkup and shots.  He's 15 lbs 11oz and he's 24 1/2 inches tall now.  He's in the 65th and 35th percentiles, respectively, so the doctor and I joked that he's short and fat. :)   But the biggest development from the appt is the go-ahead to try solids. He's been showing a lot of interest in what we're eating lately, so we'll start trying some rice cereal and then other solids. We'll be sure to take pictures of all the messes.

So Landon's been doing great. He's getting better and better at grabbing things, including his own feet. He's been rolling a lot more from side to side as he grabs his feet, so we're expecting him to get a lot more mobile on the floor soon. He's also adjusting to daycare quite well - he's able to interact a bit more with the other babies now, which I think he enjoys. He is just such a happy baby and we are so grateful for that - he smiles at everyone and is really so much fun to be around. He's also been pretty predictable at night, typically waking up twice in a 12-hour period and wanting to go to bed about the same time every night (7-8).  Sometimes it's harder for us to be ready to put him to bed than it is to actually get him to sleep.  But he's been sleeping longer periods at a time, so maybe one of these days we'll have a consistent sleep-through-the-night baby. Although I'm probably jinxing our chances just by writing that!



For those who like videos, I've uploaded 2 new videos of Landon playing in his Jump-n-Go...he's getting good at it!

And below are some other recent photos from various things Landon's been doing. We have a lot of traveling coming up in Sept and Oct, so I'm sure we'll have a lot more pics to share from those visits.
