Landon the Tour De Gorge Champion

Posted on by

After much anticipation, Landon got his first bottle today!!! We have been waiting quite awhile for this great moment. To show his daddy what a big appetite he has, he finished the WHOLE BOTTLE. For those of you who don’t realize what a big deal this is, let me explain: Most babies only eat 1-2 CC’s their first try on the bottle. They mostly spit up the milk or become distacted by the whole “breath, suck, swallow” process. But our little guy was able to successfully eat his whole bottle on his very first try…a whooping 20 CC’s. “Look out dad…I’m gonna get a belly like yours!”

Landon started with the preemie nipple, but he spit up a cc or two.

The nurse switched over to the big boy nipple and he went to town!

  1. Landon I am soo proud of you! You have no idea. I was a little sad because I’m watching The Little Princess, and then I saw the blog and a smile came to my face. A bottle! What a big deal!!!! Way to go Landon.

  3. Landon, my little pounder (add them on), I am so pleased to see you drinking a bottle.
    This is just one step closer to going home with mom and dad.
    Every day I pull up your picture on the computer. I wait expectantly with news of you and new photos. Sometimes I will just stare at you and wish that I could hold you and kiss your cheeks. Every mother has that instinct you know.
    You are such a sweet precious gift from God. I have an acronym for Luck. It is Living Under Christs Kindness. You can ask grandma She about him. We have to be the Luckiest people of the world, because he kindly gifted us with you.
    Sometimes Aunt Judy and Uncle Steve will call me and ask, “How is Landon today?” I will read to them your mom and dads words. We are so happy with your growing progress.
    You have been so strong from the beginning of your birth. In spite of these difficulties, you have met the challenges. Each day you move towards the goal of going home. I will miss seeing these little updates and pictures of you, but I will be overjoyed for the day you get to go out with mommy and daddy and go home as a family.
    It must really be soon.
    Thank-you father, In Jesus name, amen.

    Love Aunt Judy, Uncle Steve, Melanie & family
