April 2012

April was a much better month for us parenting wise and we had a blast having so many visitors in town and going back to Dallas to see family.  Here's how our month went.

We started off April with Lee's mom's 60th birthday, dinner with Lee and watching the Lobos spring football practice, sweet Alexis' birthday, and my mom coming into town for Easter.  We had a great Easter and Landon loved learning all about Jesus and his sweet sacrifice for us so that we can have eternal life with Him.  The Easter bunny was VERY kind to Landon too, and we had a wonderful Easter lunch with my mom complete with Rudy's turkey....yummy!

The next week started off with a Lobo baseball game, getting the house cleaned, attending the basketball banquet, Lee taking a day trip to Santa Fe, and the Ingrams coming to visit us.  On Friday, the Ingrams, Landon, and me went to the Zoo and then Lee and I had a "date night" while Alexis and Brandon watched Landon for us....so sweet of them!  On Saturday, we had breakfast at Frontier, went to the duck pond on campus, UNM football event, napped and lunched at McAllister's, and shopping at the mall before we had dinner at Rudy's.  Sunday morning came too fast and the Ingrams left to drive back to Tucson.  I'm so thankful that we'll get to see them again in about a month or so!

The third week in April was filled with Auction meetings, dinner with a potential Lobo Club employee, Landon's 7th month weight checkup with Dr. Suga, our 7th dating anniversary(!), dinner at Marcello's with the Segall's, and family pictures.  Landon is finally back up to the 5% in weight and he gained 10 ounces in a month!!!  That's so good for my little man but unfortunately, his acid reflux is still pretty bad even after doubling his dosage of Prevacid for the last month....so, our pediatrician referred us to a Pediatric GI Specialist, Dr. Shover, and we will go see him on June 21st.  With that being said, our pediatrician said for us not to expect Landon to sleep through the night anytime soon because when he lays flat he reluxes a lot, which is causing him pain and he wakes up due to the pain.  So, we're still waking up anywhere from two to five times a night around here but sweet Landon is so worth it!

The last week off April is here....where has the time gone?! It was a pretty low key start to the week and then Landon and I left for Dallas very early on Wednesday morning while Lee flew to Orlando for work on Thursday morning until Saturday afternoon.  While in Dallas, Landon was able to hang out with his Lolli, cousin Harley, and the rest of Lolli's family at my cousin, Jenn's baby shower.  We can't wait for little Nathan to make his arrival in May!  Then Landon and I flew back to ABQ on Monday afternoon and met Lee up at his office so Landon could see his daddy.  Such a sweet reunion!

Anyway, we had a great April, and I hope yours was wonderful too.  I'm so blessed by my sweet little boy!
