| Sleepy Baby |
We have made it past the two month mark! Landon is such a good baby! He has his moments but don't we all. For the most part he is sleeping at least 6 hours a night. That is a whole lot better than him waking up every 2-3 hours. He has started smiling and laughing at us. It is so much fun to have him around. He is getting a little chubby and it is so cute! He loves being held and he has plenty of people to hold him. He has started to become quite opinionated and he will let us know if things are not to his standard.

Last Monday we had his two month appointment. He is now 24.5 inches and 12 pounds 8 ounces. He is in the 96 percentile for height, no surprise there. He got his shots and he was not a very happy baby but he was super cuddly and just wanted to be held and be next to mom and dad. I felt bad for him but it was nice to have him so cuddly. He was overall healthy and the doctor said there was nothing to worry about with him. We were a little worried about his heart since Keith and I both have had heart issues but the doctor said he still sounds great.
We saw the new doctor at the family clinic we go to. He is good but he just doesn't understand me yet. He is very conservative about things and very reserved about doing anything. He just finished residency and I feel that is where his reservation comes from Landon has been having a hard time having a bowel movements regularly and the doctor said he did not want to do anything about it right now. I listened to what he said but as Landon's mother I'm going to do what I feel is best. Right now that is giving him a few ounces of apple/prune juice once a day. I fully believe in the doctor's abilities I just am with Landon everyday and I know how uncomfortable he can get. So far what I've been doing has helped.

| Landon before his blessing |
We were able to have Landon's baby blessing on the 18th of November. Keith's parents were able to come out to the blessing and the week of Thanksgiving. We were able to spend time with Keith's family and Landon was able to meet his other Grandparents and his uncle Mark. It was fun to be able to spend time with them during the holiday.
My heart procedure went well. The doctor did everything he could and there he could not get my heart to go into SVT so he did not need to do an ablation. I was able to go home a few hours after waking up from the procedure. When I went to see the Surgeon this week he said everything looks great and that unless something else happens he doesn't need me to come back and it would be just fine if I got pregnant again, not that that will happen anytime soon.

| Thanksgiving Baby |
A little bit before Thanksgiving we found out that Keith got a promotion and a pay raise. It was very good because our insurance went up since we added Landon. Keith is also happy that he is getting more responsibility at work.
During the week of Thanksgiving we found out that since we asked for an extension someone came and bought the condo we were waiting for. We were not very happy but we just decided that there had to be a reason and that we needed to look somewhere else. There are a few places out there and we hope we can find a place sometime soon.

| Before his Two Month Appointment |
On the 5th I go in for a surgery to get the hardware removed from my foot. Hopefully this is the last surgery for awhile. It is a very simple surgery and shouldn't take more than 30 min start to finish. I'm hoping that they can just numb the nerve instead of putting me under general anesthesia so I can still feed Landon when I get home. If not I have a good stock saved up for him.
This month should be very busy and exciting. We are so happy and thankful to have Landon with us. We love him so much and could not be happier to be parents. He is the best thing that has ever happened to us. We will do our best on keeping everyone updated on Landon's first Christmas season.
