This post is especially for Sister Peterson! It is people like her and her daughter that make it hard for me to leave the Beaumont ward.

2 months old




















Wow! Olivia turned two months old today. So much has happened these past few weeks. Aaron and I went house hunting on the 21st of February. We looked at 7 different houses, and decided to buy the second one we looked at. I am not really looking forward to the move. I am so accustomed to living next door to my parents. It will be a drastic change. Landon loves going over to my parents house. I love going over there too. Growing up, I had the chance to have both sets of my grandparents live next door to our home. I am sad that Landon will not have the same blessing that I did by living so close to his grandparents. I am sure that we will come visit once a week, if not more in the beginning. Our expected closing date on the new house is on the 25th of March.
Olivia does not sleep much during the day. She loves to be held. She can be fast asleep in your arms but the moment you even think about putting her down, she wakes up. She sleeps at night really well. Last week she slept 3 nights in a row without waking up. She is a happy baby. She has been smiling for several weeks now. Olivia was blessed on the 27th. She cried the entire time during her blessing. My family was able to be there, except for Spencer, because it was also the same weekend as my Grandpa's 85th birthday party. It was fun to have everyone in town. Landon loved playing with all of his cousins. I will hate not being able to be next door to my moms when family comes to visit them.
Landon will be turning two this month! He is full of personality. He loves to be silly and make people laugh. He also likes to test my patience. Then when I start to try to discipline him, he gives me his silly smile to make me laugh. Last Sunday, he was playing with Aaron in Aaron's parents front yard. Landon ran over to Olivia gave her a quick kiss then ran off to play again. He is such a great big brother. I love watching the two interact. Landon's favorite movie is Cars. He wakes up in the morning and runs to our room saying "cars, cars". I had originally started to plan a Thomas the Train party for him, but since he started to become obsessed with Cars, thought that maybe he would want a different party theme. Aaron and I took him to Toysrus to pick out his party supplies and I gave him the choice between Cars and Thomas the Train. He actually picked out Thomas. I am excited for his party.
