3 months... 1+ months late

By -
I have been WAY too busy putting together Christmas gifts, making Christmas treats, and preparing to travel to Colorado for Christmas to write up Landon's third month. He continues to be an awesome baby, and smiles every day. In his 3rd month he started to sleep better, only waking once per night to eat. He rolled over once while we were taking video of him doing tummy time, but it ended up being a fluke. In Landon's 3rd month, I started working Saturdays doing physical therapy at a nursing home. Austin became Mr. Mom staying home Saturday and caring for Landon so that I could practice my PT skills a bit. I'm so grateful for a husband who, although at first unsure, was willing to watch Landon without me around so that I could have some time to myself. I love my boys!

Little charmer...
 We went on our first airplane ride in November. Landon did great for the majority of the flight and barely fussed at all at the end of a four hour flight to California. I flew out a week early so that my family could spend more time with Landon.  We were lucky to be able to find flights into San Luis Obispo, so we didn't have to drive a long way to get to my house. Landon had so much fun playing with his aunts, uncles and grandparents on my side. We got to see my sister play water polo, help tear apart a deck, and prepare for Thanksgiving dinner by making pies. Landon got to stick his feet in the ocean a few times and it was warm enough that I bodysurfed at Avila beach with a wetsuit. We also got to see several of my aunts who came down to meet Landon. Austin joined us the night before Thanksgiving and stayed with us in CA for a week. My awesome, talented aunt who lives down the street from my parents took tons of pictures of Landon and some great family pictures that I think turned out great!

I liked doing 3 month pictures better than newborn pictures... Landon was awake and really curious about the camera

My sister Claire had fun playing with him, and changing diapers! 


My brother Greg was the best baby charmer!

He is certainly a hug magnet...


Here is his "official" 3 month picture...

Happy Baby!


To sum up, Landon ate a lot and measured 16 lbs at my parent's house in mid November. Hoorah!

A Mommy's International Flight essentials

By -

My carry-on bag for international flights is my diaper backpack. I set aside some room for diapers, wipes,  snacks, and an extra outfit for my toddler, and use the remaining space to bring a few things for myself on board. Here are my favorite essentials to bring on a LONG flight: - Individually wrapped (or a small package) of antibacterial hand wipes. I picked this up by reading other travel blogs. I wipe down every surface around our seat that my toddler to conceivably touch or lick. For super long flights, a little peace of mind goes a long way. - Ibuprofen, homeopathic motion sickness meds and dramamine : headaches happen. Occasionally with turbulence I get motion sick. I start with the homeopathic motion sickness meds and if they don't work, dramamine will do the trick! - Children's tylenol and Peace and Calming essential oil: These are for my son for his ears (tylenol) and to help him fall asleep after the initial excitement wears off from being on an airplane. ...

Venturing into Jamnagar

By -

At Reliance, we are 35-40 minutes drive away from the Jamnagar city proper. Fortunately, Austin has a driver that takes the workers to and from the refinery in the morning and evening. During the day, he hangs out in Reliance Greens waiting to take the workers. So, we asked him if he could take us into Jamnagar. He lives on the outskirts of Jamnagar, but was more than happy to drive us into town and show us around.  The trucks here are painted with all sorts of cool and colorful patterns, like this! Thanks, Mr. Khan, for taking our picture! Cows by the lake On the way into town, we passed by many different kinds of buildings and houses. Some were living in hotels that looked like well built structures. Some were in cement walled houses with tarp roofs. Others were in leantos that were all built next to each other with dirt floors and laundry hanging everywhere. I watched ladies washing clothing in the dirty river. I saw two little kids playing unsupervised near the...

Landon update

By -

 Landon has changed so much since we came out here to Korea. He has morphed into a full-blown toddler! The latest word from Austin's work is that our release date is moving closer to August due to some delays at the refinery. At any rate, here are some things Landon is doing lately: Talking in small sentences/long phrases. He says things like "I swing!" and "baseball bat". It seems he learns new words every day, and really practicing his new words. When he says "beach" it sounds a lot like the "B" word, and he yells it whenever he sees sand or pictures of water, so good thing we are in Korea and they can't understand what he's saying! Counting to 1, and sometimes 2. He is also learning the power of negotiation in that he will come up to me with a candy or treat that he found in the snacks and say, "Bun Candy! Bun Candy!" That means "one candy".  Learning colors! He thinks everything is pink right now,...
