"A Dah"

We just figured out that "A Dah" is baby talk for "Landon." And Charlie certainly enjoys his brother Landon.

Our sweet sweet baby CP3

He is 10 months old and this little guy is pretty awesome. He is one of the happiest human beings I know. He makes everyone's day brighter. We are very fortunate to call this little angel ours. He is always smiling, laughing and talking to us. He currently has 4 bottom teeth, he has been crawling for the last 4 months and is in no hurry to walk. He LOVES the basement where all the fun stuff is: a train table, soccer goal, drum set, guitar and pretty much every sports toy imaginable. He loves it all and giggles and smiles once he realizes we are headed downstairs.

Christmas Sings

Bubble boy

This sweet boy has a lot going for him. He's smart, sincere and LOVES playing sports. However, over the last year or so he has been having reactions to things. We expected it to be allergy related since Jeff had similar issues as a child, and had him tested about a month ago for allergies. I was shocked as to how many things (food, indoor & outdoor allergies) he was allergic to. Foods-Gluten, soy, dairy, nuts(severe), peanuts(severe), preservatives, food coloring, certain fruits and vegetables including tomatoes, peas(severe), corn and spinach. Outdoor allergies-trees, shurbs and grass. Indoor allergies-cats, dogs, dust and mold. So after given the results we knew why this little guy was always  sneezing and had swollen eyes. The specialist we are seeing has him on a few things, including Vitamin d3, probiotics and a protein shake to help build up his  system. He is doing much better and is actually eating extremely healthy diet! We are all adapting to his diet and are trying to eat more like him! The doctor feels he will be cleared of most allergies and will be able to roll around in the grass again come spring. We all look forward to those days where he doesn't have to live in a bubble!

He's a good sleeper...

Charlie has been such an excellent baby. He takes quite a few naps during the day, and has been sleeping through the night since he was about a month old. Very thankful for this sweet boy :)

Daddy

We are all very thankful for daddy. He is loving and compassionate and would do anything for us at the drop of a hat. We love you very much.

LJN

Landon is growing up so fast. He will be 4 in January. He attends preschool twice a week and does a super sports class through the park district. Sports is his forte. You will find him scoring goals in our basement, doing pattern plays for football in the front yard, or chipping golf balls at targets. He just learned how to write all of our names and is learning how to read! He's such a joy to have around. OH, and he LOVES baby Charlie :)
