Hi Blog it's Me Margaret (Melissa)!

I have been writing this blog for about a year and a half to keep track of all of our sweet little guy's experiences as we watch him grow up. But now we are about 15 hours away from adding a sweet baby girl to our family. That is part of the reason I posted about 16 posts in the last couple of days. I wanted to make sure I was caught up before things got a little crazy with two kids. Potentially a side effect of NESTING!

I am thinking that I need to change the title of the blog and change it to be more from my perspective instead of Landon's perspective. This is exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. It is a lot easier to write from the perspective of a two year old and not to have to articulate yourself through the adult perspective. I have never had a talent for writing, but I thought that I might like to express my opinion a little bit more as I take on the next "adventure" in the Sanchez family and grow from a family of three to a family of four.

What I need is everyone's help in picking a new name for our blog. I think I will keep the web address the same since everyone already has that address, but I wanted to change the title from Landon's World to something that incorporated the entire family. Something with Sanchez in it??? Any ideas???

I should be back in awhile (maybe next week) with pictures of our little princess. I can't wait to introduce her to all of you!

Cheers, Melissa

Party of Three

Mommy and Daddy took me to play and have lunch on Saturday and Sunday. It is our last weekend as a family of three. Baby Sister is coming on Monday and then we will be a family of four, so Mommy and Daddy wanted to make sure we had a lot of "Landon" time. Mommy has already cried a lot this weekend as we snuggled together on the couch or I have given her sweet kisses. I am not sure why she is so emotional, but I just keep smiling my sweet smile at her!

Aunt Kathy Comes to Play

Aunt Kathy came to play with us on Wednesday. We went to lunch at Beautiful and then we went to Julius Kahn Playground to play. Mommy sat on the bench while Kathy chased me around! Thanks for coming to play with me Aunt Kathy!

39 Weeks - One More Week till Baby Sister Arrives!

Doctor Loftquist keeps telling Mommy and Daddy that Baby Sister is a BIG BABY! Mommy says..yeah...she can tell!

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

I was able to give Daddy my surprise that I made for him the week before at Terra Mia Pottery Studio. He really liked it and was so excited to take it to work to drink his coffee out of. Mommy and I then took Daddy to brunch at Garibaldi's for Daddy's Day. I am so lucky to have such an amazing Daddy that plays with me, reads to me, takes me on adventures and loves me unconditionally. I love you!

Family BBQ

My cousin, Nick, who is in the Army, was home for a visit. So we all met up at Crissy Field for a BBQ picnic. It was such a nice day and we really enjoyed digging around in the sand. My cousin, Mikey, who is almost five years old, ended up having three different outfit changes. He really had fun in the mud and water! My cousin, Nikki, is off to Europe for a three week trip as a Student Embassador. Mommy thinks she is going to some amazing places.

Pool Time

Linsey invited the Mommies and all the kids over to her house for a POOL PARTY! There were four mommies (Erin, Taylor, Linsey and Mommy) and four kids (not counting the two in Mommy and Linsey's tummies). Baby Amelia, Baby Raleigh, Jett and I had so much fun in the pool! Mommy even let me post a picture of her in a bathing suit at 39 weeks pregnant! Wow...that is brave!

Discovery Museum with Brandon & Mimi

We met Mimi and Brandon at the Children's Discovery Museum in Sausalito this morning. It was such a nice day. We checked out the exhibit on China, the playground, art studio and the train area.

Lunch with Daddy

We met Daddy downtown for lunch at the Ferry Building. We sat outside and I was able to watch the ferries come and go while eating a quesadilla from Mijita. It was very cool!

My Cousin Brandon

Mimi has been coming on Tuesdays and Thursdays to play with Mommy and me. This last Tuesday, she brought my bigger cousin, Brandon with her. I think he is so cool. I followed him everywhere and wanted to be right next to him the entire time. He read books to me and played trucks with me and we had a lot of fun.

Sunny Saturday

We went to Alta Vista Playground today to enjoy the gorgeous weather! I rode a big boy swing for the first time by myself and I rode the see saw with Daddy for the first time. We had so much fun! Mommy sat on a bench for most of the time while Daddy and I ran around. She took a picture of her belly at 38 weeks.

Sofia Visits

Sofia went to the SF Zoo with her Mommy, Cristina, today and then they stopped by to play with us. She is a couple of years older than me but I love following her around and showing her all of my stuff.

Discovery Museum with Mimi

We met Mimi at the Children's Discovery Museum today to play! I had so much fun showing her all the activities to do there. We are members but didn't get to go that much since they were closed on Mondays and that was Mommy's day off from work. But now that she is on maternity leave we have been able to come over here a play a lot more! Hopefully I will be able to show Baby Sister how fun it is too!

Father's Day Surprise

We went to Terra Mia Pottery Studio with Kim and Aidan to paint Father's Day gifts for our Daddies! I picked out a mug and Aidan picked out a frame. We were interested in painting for about 5 minutes and then the moment was over. Mommy and Kim thought that maybe we needed to be a little bit older. But wait till Daddy gets my mug I made him. He is going to love it. As you can see by the last picture....I was ready to be done with the project and move on!

Crocheting with Mimi

Mimi came over to play with us on Tuesday and I was very interested in the lovey she was making me! I was trying to help (imitate) her crocheting.

Tea Party and Early Delivery?

Mommy's friends from my playgroup threw her a Tea Party Baby Shower for Baby Sister. It was really nice of them and she got a lot of cute things for Baby Sister.

Then when we thought we were having a nice Sunday evening, Mommy had a little bit of a surprise and thought that Baby Sister was coming early. So at 9:30pm at night we took an "adventure" trip to the hospital - me in my PJ's and Crocs! I had so much fun sitting on Mommy's bed eating ice chips and listening to Baby Sister's heartbeat. I also entertained the nurses and had Daddy walk me to the mural in the lobby with a horsey! Don't worry...it was just a false alarm and Baby Sister decided to hide for a little bit longer.

Gymnastics and Beach Time!

Daddy, Mommy and I had a really fun Saturday and enjoyed the nice weather. First we went to SF Gymnastics class where I was able to run around, jump and tumble. I have the best time there. It is nice to do it on a Saturday, so Daddy can chase me around instead of Mommy. She says that she isn't as mobile as she used to be since Baby Sister is due in three weeks. Then we went to the beach and played in the water and built sand castles.
