Meet Landon

He's herrrrre! Landon Eldon Butler was born on September 6th weighing in at 7 lbs 2 oz and was 20 inches long. I plan on writing a blog about his birth soon, but for now I thought I would introduce you to our little man and tell you a few things about him. So, introducing Landon!

What you've probably already noticed is that he was born with a whole head of hair. After a good shampooin' it looks and feels like a soft little fuzz ball:

When he was born I wasn't so surprised by the hair on his head (I had it, why shouldn't he), but I was definitely surprised to see his lovely natural sweater. That's right this little monkey has hair on his back and shoulders as well. I'm not too worried about it; I know it will fall out...

His hair isn't the only reason Landon is like a cute little monkey, he also has long arms. He loves showing off his "wing span"

His long, skinny arms are only there to complement his long and skinny feet. From the looks of things, he may just be the next Michael Phelps (sans the little public transgression)

His hobbies include a lot of eating and a WHOLE LOT of sleeping. He can often be found in his napper just sleepin' away

He's already quite the stud in our eyes :)

What can I say? I love this boy more than life itself. It's amazing how immediate the connection is between parents and their child. I can't believe he is already a week old, but at the same time I can't imagine life without him.

What a perfect combination of his parents! He looks like both of you and is so darling! When you look at the hair on his daddy's legs in that one picture, do you have to guess who the "hairy sweater" came from!! Two of the triplets were born with that kind of "fur" and it does go away! He's a doll!!

That little boy is just perfect! He is such a darling little thing and I think he's one lucky little boy to be born to such great parents. Congratulations to the whole family. Welcome Landon!
