After the we flew back from Christmas in Texas, we had a low key first week in January with just a couple of UNM basketball games and a date night....yes, a date night. Those are so rare these days but Landon is worth all the time and attention!
The second week was a little more exciting with my father-in-law's birthday, Lee's board meeting, and finally our long weekend trip back to Tucson. It was SO fun seeing everyone and showing Landon where his first 6 months in utero were spent. I'm sure he enjoyed the trip as much as we did! ;) He was so great on the long car rides and we only had to stop a couple of times to feed him. I'm so proud of him!
We drove into town on Friday night and went straight to dinner at Sauce and Frost with the Dubs, Steins, Welches, and Betsy. We had a great time and laughed so much. Then, on Saturday morning, we had breakfast at Cafe Torino with Camille and the Lorenzens before heading to the U of A basketball game and reception. Landon did great for all of these events and even slept a little through the game. Then we had dinner at Blanco with the Ingrams, Rohrets, and Secrests. It was so nice to be back in everyone's company and it all just felt right. Wish we all lived closer. On Sunday morning we went to church and Sunday School at Casas and then had lunch at In-N-Out burger with everyone that could join us from class. After that we just relaxed at the Lorenzen's house and then went to dinner with Ben and Chrissy at The Keg...love that place! Landon was a little fussy through dinner but I swaddled him and he went right to sleep. Then, on Monday morning, Lee and Ben played golf while Landon and I went to breakfast with Alexis and Betsy. Man, I miss those girls so much! Finally, when Lee was done playing golf, we headed out of town and had lunch at eegee's with Richard before making the long drive back to Albuquerque. Landon, once again, did great on the drive home! Here are a few pics from that trip.
The third week was pretty low key as well. We had a double date with the Nunn's and had Landon's 4 month check-up. He weighed 12 pounds 9 ounces (10%), 24" long (25%) and his head was 40 cm (10%). The doctor was worried that Landon is anemic because he's so pale....so, Landon had blood work done and he's perfectly healthy and his iron count is right in the middle of the range where it should be. The doctor and nurses kept commenting on how happy Landon is and said he's the happiest baby they've ever seen. That's the best compliment you can give new parents! The doc also said we could start spoon feeding Rice cereal and stage 1 baby food to Landon. We started with carrots, peas, sweet potaotes, green beans, squash, apples, pears, and bananas. So far, Landon kind of likes carrots, sweet potatoes, and squah. He HATED peas and green beans -- but has LOVED all the fruit. My son has a sweet tooth....go figure! Here's a pic from his doctor's visit.

Finally, the last week in January was filled with my brother's birthday, two basketball games, a football event, getting the house cleaned (part of my Christmas present!), and a date night at Texas Roadhouse. Hope your January was fun and eventful too!
