OUR LITTLE BOY

Landon enjoys the baby bjorn much better now that he can face out and see the world! It is hard to believe how fast he is growing...

EMPIRE STATE BUILDING

We also went up the Empire State Building. It was a very windy day, but the views were nice.








CENTRAL PARK

We took a walking tour of the city including Rockefeller Center, Fifth Avenue and Central Park. As you can see, Landon was not too impressed. He has seen it enough times at this point...











REISINGER CLAN VISITS

Uncle George, Aunt Julie and cousins Zachary and Madison came to NYC this past weekend to visit Landon! Landon loved spending time with everyone and going around the city with them.

ROLLING OVER

Landon rolled over on his own as well this week. He did it once and we got it on video. Since then he has been practicing quite a bit. Here are a few photos of today's practice. Part way over he decided to take a break to suck his thumb for a few minutes until he rolled the rest of the way!







EXERSAUCER TIME!

We put together Landon's exersaucer this week. He really loves playing in it and drooling over all of the cool toys! He especially loves the flower with the mirror on it...until it drives him crazy because he can't get it in his mouth.

GRANDMA & GRANDPA RUSSELL VISIT

Grandma & Grandpa came to NYC to visit this weekend. Landon was in heaven with all of the attention and he could not stop smiling and giggling. They just left after Landon went down for his nap...I am sure he will be sad when he wakes up and his grandparents are gone. We can't wait to see them again over the holidays!! (We will have to Skype until then...)




ELECTION NIGHT!

Landon went to an election night party decked out in his red, white and blue! He insisted on staying up to watch the final results so he could celebrate! Thankfully he also slept in the next morning.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

Landon was pretty excited to watch the Steelers shortly before game time...but he faded fast and was in bed just before the kickoff.


NYC MARATHON

Jerome was in the city and we got together to check out the NYC marathon on Sunday. It was a great day for the race. We saw the runners as they crossed over into Manhattan on the Queensborough Bridge. Landon enjoyed seeing Jerome again!





HANDMADE SWEATER

Landon received a beautiful handmade sweater from family friend Pam. He enjoyed showing it off around NYC on Sunday!


PITT WINS!

Tom & Jenny visited us on Saturday and brought us good luck in Pitt's win over Notre Dame. It was great to catch up with them. Tom really knows how to get the smiles and giggles out of Landon!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

On Halloween we carved a pumpkin, toasted pumpkin seeds, watched It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and read a pumpkin story. No trick-or-treating this year. Instead I just wore my dragon costume when Mommy and I went grocery shopping ;)











HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

Here are a few pics of Landon in his Halloween costumes. He was a really good sport and just looked at us like we were crazy...and he is probably right ;)





MORE VIEWS





Here are a few pics of the view from the roof of our building. The Chrysler Building and Empire State Building are at the bottom.

WALL STREET








In October we went down to the financial district to make sure Wall Street was still there! We also checked out Battery Park to get a view of the Statue of Liberty.


GRANDMA & GRANDPA CACKA



Grandma and Grandpa Cacka visited in October as well. They went to see Jersey Boys on Broadway and loved it. We went to see Wicked (which was awesome!) while they babysat Landon. Landon's next big trip will be traveling to Vermont to their house for Thanksgiving.

TUMMY TIME







Tummy time has gotten a lot more fun now that I can hold my head up better!

GO PITT!!





In October, Landon was able to meet some of his parents good friends: Nick and Jessica, Matt and Stacey, Nakul and Prathima, and Jerome. He was decked out in his Pitt gear. Nakul was especially excited to see that!!
