Lots of Firsts!

It has been about 10 days since our visit to Denver when we lowered the caloric density of Landon's milk/formula and he is doing so much better! He has gotten a lot less fussy with feeds and is even eating a little bit faster than he used to. When Gary brought him home from daycare today he said that he didn't have enough food! That's a good sign that he's finally willing to eat more! A few days after we went up to Denver, he cut his first tooth so that might be part of his reduced fussiness. We knew that tooth had to be in there somewhere! We can already see his 2nd one getting ready to come through too but not sure how long it will take to "pop". He is starting to settle a little faster with his naps- we found a lullaby song on the Veggie Tales Lullaby CD that seems to send him into lala land pretty quickly! That's probably cheating to use a song to get him to sleep instead of rocking him or cuddling but it seems to work even faster.

I think I forgot to mention in the last post that he has starting rolling over (front to back). He still doesn't like being on his stomach very much and if he rolls over once he doesn't want to go back on his tummy. It seems like every day he is more active than the day before! We had a great visit with Papa and Mimi when they were here while Gary was out of town and just a few days after they left our friends Nate and Ashley came to visit us with their 18-month old son Drew. We had a great time visiting Garden of the Gods, going to the St Patricks Day parade and going to the park in our neighborhood.

They just left yesterday and a few hours later I (Allison) came down with the stomach flu! I left work and stayed home today and am feeling a little better now. I'm just ready to spend time with Landon again! I've been keeping my distance to try and keep him and Gary from getting sick, but I think I'll be heading back to work and resuming my motherly duties tomorrow. Gary is an amazing dad to take over all of the nighttime and early morning feeds but I know he is exhausted!
