Some Christmas Pics!

We usually always get Christmas pictures taken. It is so close to his birthday, that we go ahead and do it all together. Its much easier that way! Here are a few the we had taken a couple of weeks ago!

Landon turns 2

I cant believe it! My baby boy is 2 today. At this time, 2 years ago, I was in labor. Its hard to believe how fast they grow. I have always heard that they grow fast, but never really understood how true that was. I got up extra early this morning to fix breakfast. Me and Dustin both had to work so I figured we need to at least eat breakfast with him. I fixed pancakes and toast, and I had some special K cereal. I kept singing Happy Birthday to him and asking him how old he way. He would hold up 3 fingers and say, "Two." He is sooooo cute! I was holding him and we walked into our bedroom while Dustin was getting ready and I said, "Daddy, it's Landon's birthday!" Dustin said, "Happy Birthday Landon!", and Landon said, "Music Mommy." He wanted me and Dustin to sing Happy Birthday to him! He is so cute and sweet! I could eat him up!

Sweet little Bryce...

Here are some recent pics of my nephew, Bryce. He is now 2 month and 10 pounds 4 ounces. He is so sweet and I could just eat him up! He is already a momma's boy....but arent they all???

My baby is growing up.....

Sunday me and Dustin wanted to take a little "Sunday nap". Well, Landon wanted to take a nap too...but he didnt want to sleep in the bed with us. He said he wanted to sleep by himself on the floor.??? I guess he is use to sleeping by himself in his room in his Toddler Bed, and didnt want to share his "space" with us. Well, we got in the bed, and started snuggling, thinking he would see us and change is mind. Well, after about 15 minutes, I was beginning to wonder... I got up to use the bathroom, and seen his big brown eyes open. I picked him up off the floor, and said, "Landon, please come get in the bed with Mommy and Daddy." He said, "OK." I was so happy for him to be in the bed with us. He wrapped his arms around me, and I wrapped mine around him, and we were both fast asleep in 10 minutes! I absolutly LOVE this little boy!!!!

What a Roller Coaster Ride!!!!!

Mom called me Thursday from work and said that Landon was having a hard time breathing, and he hadn't drank anything all day! I left work and called the Dr. on my way home to get Landon. Dr. Harless said to meet him at the Hospital, because he was admitting Landon. My heart started racing! I did not want Landon admitted, but if that's what it took to get him better, we will do it. The hardest part was when they took him into the exam room to put his IV in. They let me go with him. I knew it would be better for me if I didn't go, but better for Landon if I did. They laid him down and were trying to find a vein. He was reaching up to me saying, "Mommy, hold me, Mommy!" I cried like a baby, seeing my baby wanting me to pick him up and just hold him, but I couldn't. He was too dehydrated to get the IV in his arm, so they had to move to his foot. They finally got it and I was able to pick him up and just hold him and let him know Mommy was here. We went back to our room and Landon would not let me put him down. Every time a nurse came in, he just squeezed me, which i cant blame him! Friday, the nurse came in and checked his stats. He wasn't breathing good, so they rushed and put him on oxygen. I was so scared. He was having breathing treatments every 4 hours, but it wasn't helping. After a day on oxygen, he started doing good breathing, so they took him off, but kept his breathing treatments. He still wouldn't eat or drink, so when Dr. Harless came in, he gave him some vanilla ice cream, and he ate every bit! That night, about 7:00, he was acting like his old self. He had been real ill, and Dr. Harless said it was the steroids he was on. When Landon woke up Saturday morning, the first thing he said was, "Eat?". The Respiratory Therapist was in there giving him his treatment, and we both couldn't believe it! They brought in his breakfast and he ate a whole pancake and grits! We were so excited! The Dr. came in and said we could go home! YAY! Landon still acts real tired, but he is back to his sweet little self!

A very sick little boy.....

Landon started running a 103 + fever on Sunday. He was coughing and couldn't get any sleep. I called my supervisor, and told her I wasn't coming in Monday, because I was taking Landon to the Dr. Me and my mom took him to the Dr. Monday. His Doctor is Dr. Harless, and he was on vacation so we went and seen Dr. A. Dr. A said he had a virus that was going around, and if his fever doesn't break by Thursday, bring him back in. So mom was coming over to our house to keep him Tues. and Wed. while me and Dustin work. Well, Wednesday my mom called me @ work and his temp was 103.8, so I headed back to see Dr. Harless! Landon has something in the family of hand-mouth-foot disease, which he has had that before. He has sores all in his mouth, which is why he hasn't eaten since Saturday night, and all he wants to do is sleep! The Dr. took x-rays of Landon's chest, and he has bronchitis-pneumonia. He sent him home with 2 different medicines and said to call if he didn't get better. So, Hopefully, our Little Man will be feeling better soon! I miss my little Landon.

He knows how to melt my HEART....

Landon slept with us last week just about EVERY day because he had been sick with a cold, and its easier for him to be in bed with us. If Dustin had his way, Landon would sleep with us EVERY night. He hates Landon in another room, by himself. I have a rocking chair in Landon's room, and I rocked him to sleep last night about 8:45. It took about 2 minutes for him to fall asleep. I had went walking around our neighborhood by myself earlier, and when i gotten back, Daddy had gave Landon a bath, and they were playing, so he was worn out. Sometime during the night, Landon woke up crying. I went into his room and he was crying for some milk. I took him out, and we were headed into the kitchen. He said, "Mommy", and I looked at him and said, "What Baby?" He then reached over and gave me a huge kiss on the cheek and said, "Mommy's bed?" I couldn't resist. I headed straight for my room and me and Landon snuggled ALL night. How can he be that smart and he not even 2 yet??

Our Little Monkey!

Landon has a lime green toy box, with a monkey on it, that his Aunt Dawn got him. It is just him size. He loves to put all his favorite toys in it, and carry it from room to room. Well, this day, he decided to be the toy, and climb into the toy box. From that day forward, he gets in it all the time! After he played a while, he fell asleep on the couch, and was gone all night long!

Our very "SNEAKY" little Boy!

Me and Dustin were getting ready to go uptown one day, and noticed that Landon was being very quite. He is usually with us in our room saying, "Mommy, wanna go?", while I try and get ready. So I decided we need to investigate. I walked into the kitchen, and noticed our panty door was open. He has learned to open the doors now. I looked in there, expecting to see him on the floor with a mouth full of something. But he wasnt in there. Then, I heard him say, "uuuu O." Meaning, something bad happened. I walked into our living room, and they he was. He had gotton the box of Fruit Loops, and dumped them on the floor. I was upset, but it was soooo funny too. He just sat down in the corner, and started eating them! I couldnt resist, I had to run and grab my camera!

Later that night, I got a pic of him on the couch asleep!

Landon's First Haircut......finally!

A couple a weeks ago, Landon had enough hair that we could acutally take him to get a "trim". He had some hair sticking out over his ears, and some hanging out below his neck. My Aunt, Lisa, is a beatician, so we just headed over to her house for his first cut. I was so happy....yet sad at the same time. This meant my baby boy was growing up!! Here are some pic of that bitter-sweet night! Of course, he had to watch Daddy get his done first!

The newest member to our family....Wesley Bryce!

My twin sister, Dawn, had her first child September 12th! He was 6 pounds 6 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long! After a long, hard labor, he finally arrived! He already has my Heart! I absloutly love my first nephew, and I plan on spoiling him rotten!

He doesnt meet a stranger....

Sunday, Me, Dustin, and Landon headed to our favorite place to eat after Church...Cracker Barrell! We were sitting on the rocking chairs outside, when this man came up to us. He starting talking to us about how cute Landon was in his church outfit. He then explained to us that he recently just became a grandfather of 2 little girls. At that time, Landon reached up to him for him to hold him! I couldnt believe it! Landon always does this!! The man just thought it was wonderful! He grabbed Landon and Landon just looked at him and did this chessy grin! The man was actually very nice. He was a preacher in Myrtle Beach and was here for a Wedding. He and his wife were getting a to-go plate to eat on the road back home. I dont think he will ever forget Landon!

When we got home, Dawn came over with Bryce and her Camera and I started taking some pictures of Landon outside playing. I actually ended up with some pretty good shots!

Well, I guess this is the Beginning.....

I've never done anything like this before. I mean, I have a Facebook and Myspace, but I have never "Blogged" about me or my family. Dustin and I have been married for 4 wondeful years, and we have a beautiful son, who will be 2 in December, Landon Drake. So, I guess just keep checking in to see what's going on in our life! I will be posting some pic soon! Hope you Enjoy!
