He looks like Mom!

Okay, I had to try the look-alike-meter with a more "head on" photo to see if it would work better...and it did! The meter says that Landon looks like Mommy. Ah shucks!

Look-alike Meter

I saw this meter on a couple of other peoples' sites. It is supposed to analyze the features of a mother's and father's face to determine who the child looks more like. I thought we would finally have some scientific evidence to determine which one of us contributed more to our son, but alas, it didn't happen. It says that Landon looks equally like both of us!

Sorry folks, I know it's been a while since this blog has been updated. Landon's mommy started a new job a couple weeks ago and the days have definitely been busier! Here are some updates since the last post. Enjoy!

Landon LOVES to roll and it gets him where he needs to go. This is a picture of the burrito baby. We put him down on the floor on top of a blanket. He grabbed the side of the blanket and started rolling. This is the result.

This is a picture of Landon nuzzling his Daddy. It's his version of kisses.

We all went to our friends Rob and Heather's house to watch the CSU vs. CU football game. Unfortunately the Rams lost, but Landon still had a good time.

Landon is officially a sitter! Here's proof!!!

Solid foods are much better now. He definitely likes fruit. Here he is sitting in his brand new highchair. He was attempting to feed himself, but was more interested in eating the spoon than the food on it.

"I FINALLY went swimming!!!"

"Mommy and Daddy finally took me swimming for the first time on Sunday. It was so much fun! I took right to the water and enjoyed every minute it. We went to the pool in our neighborhood, and in addition to the big pool, there was a little tiny pool just my size. I could even touch the bottom of it! When we went in the big pool though, I had to get in my baby boat. That was pretty cool too. We're going to go back this weekend. After all, summer is almost over!"

Mommy and me in the little pool.

Daddy was in there too.

Had to get more sunscreen on!

Smiling for the camera.

This is the life!!!

Solid Food

The time has come. Landon is 6 months old and it's time to begin solid food! He had his first taste on Saturday, and let's just say that rice cereal isn't his favorite thing. We tried again today with squash and that went a little better.

Here's rice cereal from Saturday...

And here's a couple pics of squash tonight...


Messy boy!



"That sure tasted better than that rice cereal stuff you gave me!"

A plea from Landon

"My Mommy thinks I'm very, very cute. Tonight she submitted my picture to The Rocky Mountain News for a photo contest. I don't think you win anything, but bragging rights are enough! Would you please go there and vote for me? A 5 is the best! You'll have to go through other baby photos before you find mine though. Keep clicking "rate photos" until you see me, then vote! Thanks guys!"

Fort Collins Fun

It's no secret that Ron and I love Fort Collins. We miss living there, eating there (yummy restaurants), drinking there (yummy beer), and of course, CSU! Well, after Ron's long trip last week, he took Friday off and we drove up to the Fort for a family day.

We started out the day by having lunch at Pickle Barrel. It was great, as usual. Landon wanted to eat our food but who could really blame him. Milk and milk alone for almost six months would be a little boring. He'll be getting some "real" food in a couple weeks though.

Mommy and Daddy then took Landon to walk around the campus at CSU, their Alma Mater. Here's a photo of Landon and Mommy at the lagoon on campus.

After lunch and a stroll around CSU, we all went to the Anheuser-Busch Brewery. Mommy worked there while she was in college but that was almost 8 years ago! We went on a tour and Landon got to see the Clydesdales and take a picture with Daddy. He was such an angel on the tour (Landon, not Daddy), that a number of people complimented us on what a good baby we have. Of course, we already know that.

On the way home, we stopped to visit our friends Rob and Heather. We talked at their place for a while and then decided to go out to dinner. Landon had a long day and didn't get too many naps because there was so much to see. He crashed on the way to the restaurant though. What a cutie! The day was all a little much for such a little guy.
