Landen - 16 Months!

Wow! I can't believe Landen is 16 months old! Where does the time go?! A lot has changed in the last several weeks. He is off the pacifier. One day a few weeks ago I noticed he wasn't using it much or if he did have it he was just playing with it so I decided to put them up and see how long he could go without it. Surprisingly it worked and he no longer wants it! There have been a couple of times he was so fussy & after we had tried everything we gave it to him but he doesn't want it so mission accomplished! Pacifiers certainly can be a lifesaver but they can also be a pain to keep up with and keep clean! I will not miss them! :) Landen is now eating only table food! We were having some issues switching him to table food but we realized the problem was not table food....he is a very picky eater!! I wonder where he gets that from?! ;) So now it's just a matter of figuring out what he likes! He has 10 teeth now so is ready to chow down! :)

15 Months ~



His first time in a swing! He loves to be outside!




On April 4th he had an appointment with our local family doctor. He weighed 10 lbs. 13 oz. They took x-rays of his hip then and we sent them to his doctor in Delaware. The results were good but the doctor said he had to continue to wear his hip brace. He has an appointment with his Doctor in Delaware on June 6. They will take more x-rays of his hip and examine it to see if he is ready to be free! We are so ready for him to be free! If he can come out of the brace in June that will make 8 months of wearing the body cast and hip brace! However he doesn't let it stop him! Just a couple of weeks ago he started walking along the couch or pushing anything with wheels and walking behind it IN. THE. BRACE!! I really did not expect him to do that! He is super fast and can get anywhere as you can see.....


I can't believe I haven't shared some really good news!! Landen's MRI/MRA results came back clear! We are thanking and praising the Lord for this answer to prayer. He will have to have the MRI/MRA annually or until it is determined he doesn't need them anymore depending on each result and the DNA testing. We have not heard anything from the DNA test we sent to Scotland. We sent them off in December and it can take up to a year for results.

We are so thankful for both of our boys and the joy they bring! They are such a blessing! :)
