Wandering Browns

I just like how Landon and Austin are matching The theme of month #2 was family, family family. Everyone wanted to come see our cute little man! Grandpa Jim came out for a weekend in the end of September. Austin blessed Landon September 30th while Jim was in town and did a fantastic job. He is so thoughtful with his choice of words and it was really special. I was very nervous right beforehand, because Landon was SO fussy. In our previous ward, there were several baby blessings where the baby just screamed through it, and I didn't want that to be our experience. On that Sunday, there was a new member confirmation and another baby blessing that took place right before ours. I had to go out into the foyer to try to calm Landon down because he was just being really fussy. When the baby blessing before ours finished, I rushed in and handed him off, just hoping he wouldn't start crying again. He was calm throughout the whole blessing, and began fussing right when he returned to

I guess now that Landon is almost 2 months old, I should probably get around to recording my memories and impressions of his first month of life. Landon was born almost 2 weeks late, so my mother had to go back to CA before we were discharged from the hospital, and Grandpa Jim went home the morning after we were discharged. Grandma Ev was able to stay a couple more days to help with the transition to home, and she was a lifesaver. The first few days of Landon's life at home were pretty hard for me, mostly because we went to the doctor and he had lost a whole pound. He was looking really skinny and I was so sad that I was not producing enough milk to feed him. I know this happens to a lot of babies, but I was pretty sure that I was going to be the best mom ever and produce gallons of milk for him to drink. Well, that doctor's appointment was on a Tuesday. Our pediatrician told us to supplement with 1 oz of formula 2 times a day and see if that did not bring his weight back up. M
