Me, with my grandson "Landan", born saturday, June 28th at aprox. 3pm. Picture taken not long after his birth. What a cutie.
Landan, sunday evening, aprox. 1 1/2 days old here.
Same age/time as above picture, after dad did diaper change and right before he starts to let mom know he's hungry. Also the first time Ken & I saw his eyes open.

Congrats! I didn't know it was already time for him it doesn't seem like that long ago that you told us you'd just found out you were going to be a Grandma. He is precious and I know you're going to love being a grandma. I sure do. I'm seeing my girls next week and can't wait.

Thanx bunches Margie, Debi
Thanx bunches Margie, Debi & Chy. Crystal and Chad just left with Landan, so i really should be running to bed...morning comes fast when you have to work.... but i just had to stop by and see if anyone had visited here.
I love that i recently figured out how to get photobucket to work for me.
Chad & Crystal put Landan in his car seat on our couch when they got here and when Chad picked up the baby seat to go home, there was baby poop all over the blanket that was on our couch. Chad started to laugh.
Anyway, Chad took baby out to the kitchen to change him on the table, with a change pad(we all followed of course)...but while washing him down, he started to pee all over so Chad was scrambling to get everything out of the way...this time they both started laughing(and us too because they found it so funny)...next thing we know he burped up and then peed all over Chad. Crystal was laughing so hard there was concern she'd burst her stitches. They were so funny. lol
Kathy D
Oh he's just gorgeous!!!!
Congratulations Kathy!!! He looks beautiful - and such a good performer in the nappy department!!!!

Oh, he's beautiful!
My goodness, I'd be proud of that little guy, too! The last picture especially looks as if he's begging to be picked up and snuggled. My heartiest congratulations!
BTW, you look pretty young to be a grandma.

Welcome to the grandma club!
Hi Kathy--He is beautiful! Enjoy him--they do grow so fast.
Mary
Hey there, Grandma!
He is so cute! And I really like the name - does the name Landon have any significance to the family?
Congrats to everyone!

Hi Deb, The time really did
Hi Deb, The time really did fly by fast, even for all of us. Plus she was 13 days late. And thanx very much, i'm sure i'll love being a grandma, i already love the little guy to bits. Hope you have a wonderfull visit with your girls next week.
Hi FF and thanx.
Hi Natalie, and thanx very much, I think so too. And lol it was very funny the way they both reacted.
I agree, my three sons sure seemed to grow up very fast, especially once they hit highschool. I'm sure going to cherish Landan's baby days for as long as they're here.
Hi Katherine, Thank-you thank-you.
Actually, now that you mention it, i don't think i've ever read a H with that name yet...i too think Landan would make a great name for a H.
Hi DonnaA, Thank-you very much. And most definately, i've always loved the after bath baby smell. To bad it couldn't be bottled, i'd spray some on my pillow...kinda like aroma-therapy.
Hi Christa and thank-you.
Hi Amanda and thank you so much. You are correct in that in the last pic he's wanting something that requires being picked up. I have the picture that directly followed that one, and he's letting his mom know he's hungry...it was the calm before the storm lol. I'll try and post it, as i think it's real cute as well, and his cute little gums are showing.
Also, thank-you so much Amanda for the looking young comment, especailly since i am in NO hurry to look my age.
Hi Mary and thank-you so much...i'm very happy to now be a part of the grandma club with you. I'm going to enjoy every minute of watching him grow...just not to fast mind you, cause that means "I" have to get older. Ick Lol
Hi ElleJay, and thank-you thank-you. The name Landan is just one they both liked and agreed on. But the middle name has signifigance...Landan Alex..with the Alex being Crystals stepfathers name who died of cancer several years ago. He'd been her dad since she was five, so every bit her only remembered father and very special to her.
I have to say i was very happy when they discovered the name Landan and picked it over the first one they'd agreed on.
Her mom and I both didn't care for it at all. It would've gave me nightmares. I even hate to say it here. lol
Hi Shelley and thank-you. I'm really looking forward to the experience.

Congratulations Kathy!
What a beautiful baby boy. He's gorgeous.

Hi Claire and thank-you
Hi Claire and thank-you very much. He's such a good 1st baby for them as well...he mostly sleeps about 4 1/2 hours between feedings. And since she had c-section, it will give her a good chance to rest and heal.

OMG, what a cutie! Congrats

Hi Audrey and thank-you so
Hi Audrey and thank-you so much. What an awesome, very special and emotional feeling when i first saw him with my son right after he was born. Not to mention love at first sight. I have lots to look forward to.
Kathy D
I'm a little late...
I just found this blog but had to add my congrats. Babies are such a blessing and especially a boy. (Sorry, a little biased as I have two sons.) I am teary just thinking about seeing one of my guys holding their own baby boy someday.
God Bless you all.

Hi Angel and thank-you very
Hi Angel and thank-you very much. I agree, babies are very special little people for sure. I too had all boys, three of them, and would've tried a fourth time for a girl had there been a guarantee.
I'm holding out for a grand-daughter now.

Hi Cheryl, And thank-you so
Hi Cheryl, And thank-you so much. I'm glad i was able to make you laugh with the diaper changing story. We sure all did. lol
I can picture the look on a young girls face when the waterworks got you. lol
The whole grandma thing and my son becoming a dad still is very new to me. I imagine it'll feel that way for a long time to come.
Hi Jana and thank-you so much.

Kathy - What a sweetie.
Kathy - What a sweetie. But I am curious - what was the first option for his name? Congrats

Hi Cady and thank-you very
Hi Cady and thank-you very much. Oh my, this is tough to print this name, lol...it really did bother me.
Kingston...which means he would've gotten King for short, ick ick.
Kathy D
Hey Kathy!
What a cutie!! And I agree with everyone else, Landan is an awesome name. How far away do they live from you? Will you get to see him often?
Huge congratulations to you!!
Take Care,

Thank-you very much Tammy!
Thank-you very much Tammy! Actually, they live pretty much up the street from me. Although their on a different street, and it crosses a main street before it gets to them... they are only about a 3-4 minute walk from my house. They could live anywhere in Mackenzie and it would still be close to me. Mackenzie is not a very big place.
Crystal and Landan had their first doctors appointment yesterday, and Doctor was quite surprised that he had gained over a pound already. He's growing just like his dad did and gonna be a little porker. I love it.
TC,

Kathy - King isn't so bad,
Kathy - King isn't so bad, not like some of those crazy Hollywood names, although I do like Landon a lot better.

Oh my Cady & Merri. I'm so sorry i missed your posts. Not sure how that happened.
Cady, I really really didn't care for the name, and would've had nightmares over that one, seriously lol.
Merri, Thank you very much for the congrats. Seeing babies is very uplifting isn't it.

Thanx so much Kate. Landan's
Thanx so much Kate. Landan's 4 weeks old tomorrow. Wow does time ever fly.

Kathy, when you get some new pics, be sure...
... to post them. We'd all love to see how he's growing!

I am super late seeing this post, sorry for that.
Congratulations!
Amanda, I'd love to post
Amanda, I'd love to post more pics as he grows and changes.
Hi Jill, Thanx very much for the congrats. Your not late at all. This all still feels very new to me. I have a hunch it will for a long time.
Kathy D
Hey Kathy!
Hey Kathy!
You are welcome! That is wonderful that they live so close to you. Do your other sons like being uncles now?
Heehee, I LOVE chubby babies!
Can't wait to see more pics.
Take Care,
Tammy
P.S. I just realized that Landan's One-Month Bday is today! Wow!

Oh my... I knew that you were a grandma...
(and Congratulations once again!) but I missed this post...
Oh, I do soooo love the pictures Kathy! And babies, there really is nothing like them! He really is a beautiful, beautiful baby and I think it's wonderful that Chad and Crystal live so close. As for the name, I think Landan is a great name ~ and having Crystal's stepfather's name as his second; that's wonderful... keeping family connections with names is something I really enjoy.
So yes, any pictures that you want to post would be greatly appreciated.... they do grow up so darned fast!
