I figured it out!!! For over a month now an annoying error code has been appearing every time I've attempted to save or publish a post and then I would lose all of my hard work. Well the problem is gone and just in time! We've had lots of wonderful things going on around here and with the holidays coming up there are many more to come in our near future.
I've been back at work now since September 10th. I wasn't worried about Landon returning to Iara's; I was actually excited for him because I knew he would have fun seeing his little friends again. But leaving Connor was a different story. For a long time we struggled with giving him a bottle. He just wasn't interested. So my main concern was him eating. But by day two our little trooper was drinking all of his milk, taking good naps, and being overall content throughout the day. After spending three + wonderful months at home with the boys I felt heartache and guilt returning to work. Only natural. However I was quickly put at ease knowing that not only are they in great hands each day, but they are happy, too.
Mid-September
During the summer I mentioned that Landon had started taking ISR swim lessons. He went 5 days a week for 6 weeks (10 minute sessions). He worked with an AMAZING swim instructor named Heidi. They formed a special bond and he still asks about her to this day. It is truly amazing what infant/toddlers are capable of learning when it comes to water survival skills. We are so proud of Landon and this big accomplishment of his.
This is a clip of Landon during his exit test. He is fully clothed to mimic the event of him accidentally falling into a pool. Hopefully the video works...
On Sunday, October 7th our families joined us in celebrating Connor's baptism. It was a joyous day!
Connor's Godparents- Titi Rudy and Uncle Ryan
The whole fam. Alaina, Maria, and Dave Lawton were also present.
Connor is already 4 1/2 months old. He hasn't had his check up yet... it's next week. I'm curious to see how he's grown in the past 2 1/2 months. Developmentally he is so fun these days! Laughing, baby talking all the time, kicking/opening and closing his hands, holds his head up sturdily, hands in mouth often, plays with feet, grabs/tugs at toys, and can roll from belly to back and from back to side. He can't quite make it all the way over yet. He's a side sleeper like his mama. :) Still wakes up for a 3-4 am feeding but has gone until 6 a handful of times. Overall he is doing so well. We are truly blessed.
