They are both doing great and thriving! Liam had his two year checkup about a month ago and Landon had his very first doctor's appointment. We merged them together to make it as much of a hassle free trip as we could. If that's even possible now days. To be quite honest, loading a two year old and a two month old and taking them out on the town is a bit of a difficult task. Not only do I prepare a massive diaper bag with all the extra clothes and diapers for both kids. But I need to make sure I grab snacks, food, games and books to keep our two year old busy. While one kid is running around and seeing what he can get himself into (or exploring I sometimes call it), the other is needing to be feed, or a changed diaper, or a new set of clothes (because he threw up on his outfit) or just needing some good old TLC. So consequently, we try to make our trips to the grocery store or to the doctor's office as smooth as possible. Although, now I am getting the hang of things. I would have to say the first month was a pretty big adjustment for everyone. However, luckily things have now fallen into place. Now back to the boys, Liam is 27 pounds now and has been for quite some time. He is a great eater and loves all types of food! He is participating in various types of therapy to help him in certain areas. He is doing great with it! Because of his eye issues when he was a baby that delayed him in certain areas of his development. However, due to his surgery at 15 months and his therapy services he is now thriving and doing better and better everyday! He is really trying to talk more and more. We take him to the Arboreum in Arcadia a couple times a week and he really seems to open up there. He learned the word "trees","peacock" and "grandma" last week. The Arboreum is absolutely gorgeous! I just found out the other day, they used a house called Queen Annes Cottage (see image above) at the Arboreum for the movie "Meet the Fockers" as the house Denna and Jack (who were Greg's parents) lived in. You are surrounded by nature and beauty. And it sits on acres and acres of land. It truly is a site to see. We usually will bring our lunch and walk all over the park. He sees all types of animals and plants. He runs around trying to find the peacocks. Landon is also thriving like crazy! He is now 15 pounds as of one month ago! He eats like a champ! He is in the 95% for his weight and 85% for his height. Our only problem is that he doesn't want to take to any bottles. We have tried five types and all he wants is mom. He is pushing up on his stomach already and really exploring his sounds. He especially gets more vocal at night time. He sleeps great and is a very easy going kid. He seems to have a lot of John in him. He is a very happy baby! I can't believe he is already going to be 3 months in two weeks! Time sure flies...
