3 months already?!!?

Our boy is 3 months. Heres what he has been doing:

* He can roll over from his tummy to back
* has control of his head ( for the most part)
* can sit against a surface and support his body for a minute or so before falling to the side.
* loves watching and chewing on his hands
* loves to talk
* watching mommy and daddy around the house ( definately takes after his mom with the people watching)
* has slept a 7 hour stretch once of twice
* eats 4-5 oz every 3-4 hours
* loves to blow bubbles and drool
* he is liking bath time these days
* grabs onto items/toys hanging infront of him
* loves nick jr.
* still loves to be swaddled
* does not like to sit anymore, loves to stand!
* sleeps well at night but HATES napping during the day no matter how tired he is!
* has his fair share of baby melt downs... its tough being the little guy!

mr. personality

Landon is getting bigger and so is his personality! we love it... hes talking up a storm with us, is smiling like crazy and makes the cutest faces! Just can't get enough of him!

hand fetish continued....

This boy LOVES his hands.. they are either clasped infront of him or in his mouth. The past week or so he has really found that his hands are great chew toys. I woke up one night to this smacking and sucking sound.. mind you it was loud enough to wake me up.. anyway,I look over to his bassinet and hes wide awake with his whole fist in his mouth with a couple fingers from the other hand working their way in. He loves to talk to his hands now that he has more control as to where they go. Its adorable and we love it.

talking with daddy

last week or so...

what a fuss!

I don't know whats going on but this baby boy of ours sure has a temper! I don't know if it's gas,teething, a growth spurt or just plain stubbornness( must be a nelke thing - surely can't be from my side;) ) but today and yesterday he's not been a very happy camper... and boy does he know how to fight going to sleep! jeez... I hope he grows out of this soon or our neighbors are all going to vacate their homes. okay, okay maybe its not that bad but I do feel bad even though hes cute when hes pissed off :)

his boo boo lip makes me and his daddy smile... hehe.

3 month photos

Landon had his first professional photos done this afternoon. A week before he turns 3 months! The shoot started out great but he was pretty stingy with his adorable smiles- we caught a couple though- by the end of the session... well.. he was a pretty fussy boy as you will see... but he does havethe most cutest boo boo lip ever!! The pictures turned out pretty good despite having to stop every so often to calm a fussy babe! don't worry friends and family, we got a HUGE package so pictures coming to your doorstep soon!

without further ado.... Landon James Nelke--3 months old-- (well close enough)

Sleeping

I love to watch this baby sleep... he makes the cutest little faces and does small little twitches.. most of all I love when he grins in his sleep. I wish I knew what he was dreaming about.
