Took the little Landon in to the doctors office on Friday (flying solo, while Melissa was at a haircut), and had his weight checked. He is up to 6 lbs 11 oz, that is a 17 ounce increase in 1 month, good but not great. So we are going to hit him with some McDonalds, that's right a little formula mixed in his bottle feedings... The last couple feedings via bottle have gone well, he loves how easy it is for him, but he takes down the whole bottle in seconds flat, so we need to pace his intake better to prevent the big spit-up that usually follows a long drink.
The Erickson's arrived this weekend, as part of Thomas' spring break. The last grand-parents to lay hands on the boy. They were so excited to see him and hold him and love him, and not to mention are a HUGE help around the house. Karen has made us some wonderful dinners, and I am convinced the dishes have been doing themselves, Thanks Karen!
We took them on an adventure to see our cabin, all 6 of us and the 2 dogs loaded in the land cruiser, with our snow gear and headed for the mountain. We had heard that the road was relatively clear due to the logging that has been happening up there this winter. As we arrived and turned up Elk drive (the steep part) we realized "clear" is a relative term, so I put all 270 horses to work in the Land Cruiser and ran up the hill, slipping and sliding but arrived at our driveway, where we could go no further.
We walked in in thigh deep snow, John was awesome and carried Landon, stepping steadily walking hands free - as I rushed in with a sled to get a fire started. We had the place warm and toasty in about 30 minutes (around the fire at least) and ate some lunch.
We met a contractor up there as well to quote the drywall and plumbing work, nice guy to tromp through the snow to look at the cabin.
What a lot of fun!
