April 2, a special day for us

April 2, 2013 was a brutal day for us. That was the day that Landon underwent open heart surgery, his second heart surgery, at 3-1/2 months old. One year later, you would never think that this little boy had two heart surgeries already!

We are 1 year post-op now and he is going strong! We visit his cardiologist on Friday for an echo and EKG to make sure everything has progressed as expected. After that visit, Landon should be able to discontinue taking aspirin every day! We are thankful, every day, for the work the doctors and nurses did to make sure that Landon has been healthy.

At his last doctor appointment, he weighed over 24 pounds and measured around 31 inches. He is walking all over, and sometimes running. He is a great eater and isn't too picky, but he will let you know if he doesn't like something! He's a very independent child. If he can do it himself, you better not help him.

We had a beautiful weather day on Sunday, so we went to the park to swing. He is big enough now to go down the slide by himself and he thought that was great. I went down one of them with him and he laughed the whole way!

We are very blessed to have this little boy in our lives! He keeps us on our toes daily and brightens every day.
