Can you say MELLOW!!!!

He didn't cry at all when the doctor scraped a bunch of gunk out of his ear and declared that he has an ear infection.

He didn't even flinch when she stuck a big ol' swab up his nose to test for RSV.

When the doctor made him turn his neck the direction that he doesn't like to, and then told him he needs physical therapy to unflatten his head, he didn't even squawk.

And as soon as he was done with a bout of smoker's cough and was diagnosed with bronchiolitis, he was all smiles and coos.

Only the shots, the 3 miserable pokes into his fat little thighs, made him upset. He cried at the nurse like she had personally offended him. And then he obediently ate his little vial of rotovirus vaccine.

What a champ!

It's hard to believe that it's been 4 months since we've welcomed this little [fat] guy into our family!

So, what's Landon like? I'm glad you asked....

He's mellow. Chill. Good natured. All around wonderful.
He's been sleeping through the night for about a month now.
He laughs really hard at his older brother's antics.
He spits up ALL THE TIME.
He likes to 'talk.' A lot. (Remember Emma's "waaataaah" phase? I'm pretty sure he's gonna be like that!)
He's a thumb sucker. Yuck.
He LOVES being sung to. And tries to sing back.


How about his stats?

I can't find Emma's 4 month stats, but at six months she was 14lbs 12 ozs.

At 4 months Grady was 14lbs 8ozs

At 4 months Landon is...... 15lbs!!! And that is why I call him the fat kid.

That and because of the comments that every stranger on the streets make: "WOW! He's ONLY 4 months!! He sure is a big boy."

Yes he is. And good for him. If he were a frail little thing, he wouldn't have a chance of survival around his brother who loves him oh so much!

that picture is so cute!!! he sounds like a fabulous little guy. just so you don't feel alone in your fat-kid-ness, macy was 16lbs at 4 months and then 20lbs at 6 months. she was chunk, but fat babies are the cutest (in my biased opinion of course)!
