I'm happy to say he has been consistently sleeping a full twelve hours at night without waking up! There were so many nights I would think to myself, "I'm never going to get all full nights sleep again." Thankfully, he has figured out the sleeping thing and does it quite well.
But before he figured it out, he would always wake up right when I was about to fall asleep. It never failed! I would feel myself drifting only to hear Landon crying in his crib.
(Not so) Perfect Timing.
One time, he had a huge, blow out, bowel movement while we were sitting in the car, waiting for Tyler to come out of the store. I couldn't carry him into the store because it was literally everywhere. He couldn't wait just five more minutes.
(Not so) Perfect Timing.
He is pretty good at playing by himself while I get things done. Except when I want to eat, and then he wants me to hold him.
(Not so) Perfect Timing.
When he was just a few months old, Tyler and I would try to watch a movie together while he napped.
Yeah, right. He always seemed to wake up just after the movie would start.
(Not so) Perfect Timing.
One time, in church, a lady was asking for prayer for her very sick friend.
Landon started laughing. Hysterically.
(Not so) Perfect Timing.
When we dicipline him, he thinks its time to laugh.
(Not so) Perfect Timing.
A few weeks ago, I was running his bath water. I guess the "new mom" in me thought it was okay to take his diaper off and let him stand by the tub and watch the bath tub fill up. I'm sure you can guess what happened...
All over the side of the tub, the floor, and my foot.
(Not so) Perfect Timing.
And yet, there are times when his timing is flawless:
He willingly hugs us now. And every time he does, I always say, "Awww, thank you Land. Thats so nice." So now, every time he hugs me, he makes an "awww" sound. He even pats my back with his little hands. He willingly, without bribe, crawls over to me, stands up and wraps his arms around me.
It's always perfect timing.
When he was first born, we tried to arrange our (extremely tiny) apartment as quickly and as efficiently as we could to make room for him. He always seemed to need to eat right when I was in the middle of something. Little did I know then that sitting down, relaxing, and nursing him was just what I needed to settle down.
Perfect Timing.
You all have seen his pictures! He smiles at the most perfect moments!
Perfect Timing.
A few weeks ago, we were walking through the grocery story. Tyler and I have made it a priority to always go to the store as a family.
Anyways, we are walking through the grocery store and Landon was sitting in the cart and he kept insisting on kissing us. He even makes the, "mmmmuah" sound. In the midst of trying to figure out what to buy for dinner, Landon just wanted to stop and kiss us.
Perfect Timing.
When they told us we were pregnant and having a baby the same day, I would have said that timing was the furthest thing from perfect timing. But the second he was born and they handed him to me, I looked at him, and immediately knew this was exactly how it was supposed to happen.
Landon's birth has been the start of so many great things for us:
Getting to enjoy beautiful, California as a family of three, moving back to Ohio to be closer to family, and now Tyler becoming the pastor of a church.
None of this would have happened if Landon wasn't born.
Perfect Timing.
(Not to mention his birthday is 12/12/12)
