Landon will be two weeks old on Wednesday! So far, he is a great baby and seems very sweet and laid back. He will even sleep for 4-5 hour stretches at night (although he doesn't like going to bed until 2am, but we're working on that!), which is exciting! The first few days we were home were definitely a bit challenging and overwhelming, but we're slowly adjusting to our new family of four and are just trying to enjoy every moment!
We ventured to the park a few days ago just to get out of the house (we figured that was safe with a newborn because we were outside)... Brandon packed us a picnic lunch, and we had a great time! Here is one of our first family pictures!
We're happy to report that Grady still adores his new brother! In fact, he seems super protective of him and is extremely loving towards him. He asks where Landon is when he first wakes up in the morning and always wants to go give him a gentle pet on the head before starting his day. He always tell us that he wants to hold Landon and that he wants him to sit by him. Yesterday when Landon was crying, Grady jumped off the couch and said that he was going to get Landon's "tigger" (which is what we randomly call a pacifier) for him. He came over and put it in his mouth, and Landon went right to sleep. He also helps with diaper changes by giving us a new diaper (and sometimes even throwing out the dirty one)! Grady also thinks it's absolutely hilarious when he hears Landon burp....he just dies laughing. (During those times I have a glimpse of what it will be like with a house full of boys!) Perhaps the biggest thing though is that Grady loves sharing his trains with Landon. For anyone who knows Grady, you know his "choo-choos" are his prized posession and he normally does not like sharing them with anyone! On numerous occasions, however, Grady has given Landon a few of his trains....he just goes and lays them on Landon when he's in his swing. He even gave him one of his train stickers the other day!
