Halloween Party!

So since every year we have a Halloween party for Madisen's birthday we decided to have a regular Halloween party the weekend before so we did. We already had the place all done up and spooky, and Jon loves to dj and dance so it came out to be a great idea. Everyone had fun including Tristen and all his friends as you can see in the picture with the dancing. We had a lot of fun costumes and fun times and we decided to begin a halloween tradation.

Happy 3 months Landen

Can you believe it, it's been 3 months and he is cutier than ever. He wants to sit by himself so much, and last week he slept from 10pm to 6:45am, but that didn't last. Here the milestones that we have to look forward to this month:
Your baby has been able to recognize you since he was just a few days old, but now he may actually be able to show it. About half of babies this age begin to exhibit an obvious recognition of their parents.

Your baby will probably continue to smile at strangers, especially when they look him straight in the eye and coo or talk to him. But he's starting to sort out who's who in his life, and he definitely prefers you, your partner, and perhaps a few others.

Your baby may quiet down and make eye contact with you, or he may search for you in a room and move his arms in excitement or smile when he finds you. He may even find your scent calming and comforting.

Our baby is growing up so fast.

Here comes Halloween!

Here comes Halloween, here comes halloween, halloween, halloween! We Baytons Love Halloween! It all started with Madisen's birth, Oct.30th. And over the years, her Halloween birthday party got bigger and bigger. So now our house looks like a haunted house. But it all begins with the pumpkins! So here we are picking and carving pumpkins. Except poor Tristen, he got the flu, so his pumpkin will get carved a bit later.

Oh baby Landen how much you are growing.

Landen is 2 month's and 4 weeks, he'll soon be 3 months and do oh so much. Sorry about the video being sideways, I forget when I do video that I have to have it straight up. Oopps.
He's getting so big, here are a few facts of what he able to do now:
Your baby is becoming very handy. Although he's already aware of his hands, he's now inspecting them like Sherlock Holmes. He turns them around, the better to look at his fingers from all sides. He opens and shuts his fists, watching each finger as it moves up and down. To help your baby develop her blossoming hand-eye coordination, try dangling a toy just out of reach so she has to grab for it.

Happy 2 months Landen!

Can you believe it's been 2 months since my beautiful baby boy was born. He's so big now, and strong man is he strong. He can pretty much hold his own head up by himself. Now that I'm working again he gets to spend lots of quality time with Daddy. That includes taking naps together as you can tell in the first picture. He has his 2 month physical tomorrow that Jon gets to take him to and witness the horrible shots he gets. Wish him luck. I know he's got to be around 13 to 14 lbs by now, at least that's what my back tells me.

Oh how a smile can lighten your day!

Every now and then we can get Landen to smile for us but I can never get it on camera except for today. He looked so stinken cute today I thought I would take pictures of him and I was lucky enough to catch a smile. I love it when he smiles because even when your up all night because he's not feeling good or he just won't go back to sleep at 2am, he can smile and you suddenly forget how tired you are. I love my Landen Boy so much, and he makes me smile everyday, Did he make you smile?

Labor Day

Labor Day we went up to the mountains to a park and had a great time with friends. We bbqued and had water balloons and enjoyed each others company.

Now introducing Rocky Balboa!

NO Tristen didn't get into a fight. He got an allergic reaction to something he encountered Monday when we went up to the mountains for Labor day. But it does look like he got into a fight. I bet he wishes it was just a fight because he's broke out in hives and rashes all over.

Landen's Baby Blessing

This last Sunday, Sept. 6th marks Landen being with us for 6 weeks but more importantly we were able to bless Landen Joseph at church. Jon's parents flew out from St. Louis to be part of this marvelous occasion. Here everyone is in their Sunday best with baby Landen all in white. The first picture has the Bayton boys, aren't they handsome. Scott and Susan (Jon's parents) are in the second picture with Tristen and Landen. It was a great day!

Dancing Landen

Madisen had music on one night while I had Landen laying the couch and he really liked the music. He started to dance to the music, now we can say he's Jon's son. It's amazing how in tune babies are with liking and not liking things. My baby boy is growing so fast and I'm trying to take in every precious moment.
