Like Father, like Son

So sorry that I have been absent from the blogging world for so long! :) But I thought it was about time for an update!

Landon is growing and changing every day. It is amazing how much he learns in just a short time. He has become very interested in things with buttons, such as the remote control and x-box controller (hence the title of this post! :) ). He is also talking like crazy. He especially enjoys talking to his bottle, pacifier, and toys that he can easily hold. He LOVES Logan. He will watch him and look for him all the time. He also smiles and giggles when Logan barks. Logan has done really well with Landon too. So far he doesn't mind if Landon tugs on his ears.

Today, Landon rolled over on his tummy to get the football that was out of his reach when he was on his side. I wonder if he knows it's a Bears football. Probably because Matt's favorite lullaby for Landon is "Bear Down, Chicago Bears." How cute is that? :)

I also have to include an updated picture of baby girl and me. I am now in week 26 of the pregnancy and mostly feeling good. The only thing that really bugs me is my lower back. It is sore all the time. But according to Kelli (who's 2 weeks ahead of me) and Victoria (who's 2 weeks behind me), that is normal since they're having the same problem! :) But I'd take this over morning sickness any day!!

Mr. President

Matt and I got a very cool opportunity today. President Obama came to Elkhart to hold a town hall meeting and we got to go. Not because we stood in line for hours on Saturday to get tickets, but because my uncle got to introduce the President! He is one of the many RV workers that has been laid off for the past several months and he's been interviewed by several of the local and even national news stations. But he got a call this weekend from Washington, D.C. saying that they'd like him to give a short speech and introduce Mr. Obama. How cool is that! He got to walk out with him and everything. And since we're part of his family, my aunt, cousins, mom, and grandpa got special seating and we didn't even have to wait in line to get into the gym. We were lead right to the front. It was a really neat experience, to be that close to the leader of our nation and even though I may not agree with everything he stands for, I still think it is so important to support him and our government as they try to make changes to make our nation better.

On another note, I realized how crappy our camera is because out of about 25 shots, these are the most unblurry ones I got! :)

Matt and I waiting for the meeting to begin. We were there about 2 hours early.

4 months

Landon is now officially 4 months old (plus a few days) and we had his check up with the doctor this week. He weighs 14.2 pounds (in the 40th percentile) and is 26 inches long (in the 90th percentile)! So it looks like he'll fit in with the Bergers just fine, tall and skinny! :) The doctor said everything looks fine and he is healthy. What a blessing!
We also had his 3 month pictures taken at JcPenny's a few weeks ago. They should be coming in this week. He did well for about 10 minutes and then decided he was too tired to smile any more. There are some pretty adorable ones though!
I am still feeling really good. My clothes are finally not starting to fit. The shirts are a little too short and the pants are a little too tight. So I'm in the in between stage. Too big for regular clothes and too small for maternity clothes. But thankfully when I do get to maternity clothes, one of my co-workers gave me a lot of her clothes that she bought but never wore. So woo-hoo for saving money!
And as long as I'm acknowledging all the people who have been SOOO helpful to us and helped us save money, I can't forget the Frye's. They have given us all of Tyler's old clothes. Landon's closet is overflowing!! It is so wonderful to not have to worry about buying clothes. That has to have saved us at least a bazillion dollars. SO a HUGE thank you to Amos and Jess (and Tyler too! :) )
