We are getting very close to being parents of two. It seems like yesterday we were creating this blog to keep everyone updated on Landon, how time flies! October 21st can't come soon enough for me and if I hit that date, the Dr. has decided to induce labor on the 22nd, so we are on an official countdown!
Landon still has no clue what the baby bump means. His daycare provider, Regina, now has two babies she is looking after, one almost three months old and one about four and a half months old. We hope these two babies are helping Landon prepare for what he is about to be in for.
Grandma and Grandpa T came down to visit for the Labor Day weekend, and the McNeely Grandparents were also in town the same weekend, so we were able to get a rare photo shoot in with both sets of Grandparents. Its was quite fun and long overdue for some good baby pictures with family. Then Robin and I went to the Dallas Arboretum this week to visit their pumpkin garden...the largest in the world according to them. It is a really beautiful setup with all of the fall colors and something I wanted to do with Landon last year, but the day we chose to go a private event was going on that we were unaware of. Needlesstosay, hopefully we have done our duty on getting some good professional pictures done for a while.
Robin and I both agree it truly is a joy being Landon's parents, we feel very blessed. Of course parenthood has its moments of frustration, but way more often than not we find ourselves laughing and thoroughly entertained by something he is doing. He is talking more and more everyday. Usually it is his own language and baby babble, but so far we are able to distinguish the following words: ball, dog, juice, shoes, more, cheese, duck, fish. Just today we noticed he is doing a lion "roar" which is pretty hilarious. Apparently they are learning animal noises at daycare and he has really picked up on the "roar!"
We had a slow start with getting him in water this summer, but by August we couldn't stop him from jumping in the kiddy pool. He LOVES to be outside and would spend most of his day outside if we let him. Now that it is finally cooling off, it will be easier for us to stay outside and enjoy it with him!
He keeps us very busy and we know it will only get busier here in a few weeks. Stay tuned for the next blog entry which will reveal pictures of the new baby and let everyone know "boy or girl?"
Love to all! The Tetzlaff's
