My Kentucky Dandy

While I'm being raked over the coals in my M&A exam (I only made it halfway through the class slides and read a 12-page outline once through), I thought I'd share these pics of my dapper little man from my cousin's wedding in Louisville this past weekend. The first set involves a mini bottle of Blanton's Bourbon (JP's favorite) that was in our wedding weekend welcome basket in the hotel room. Landon was excited to see that the hostess thought of him in the party planning.



Woo hoo, baby sized bourbon! Party time!


What? What do you mean I can't have any?
I thought we'd pre-game before the rehearsal dinner.



Fine, I'll open it myself. It's a party of one, baby.


Hmmm, maybe I can just suck on the top like I do with those bottles.


The next day Landon had a slight hangover, but managed to get his sailboat tie on straight for the wedding ceremony.



That program is seconds away from going in his mouth and about a minute away from losing a chunk of the top corner. The kid is obsessed with paper. Immediately after the processional, Landon and I headed outside so he wouldn't dominate the wedding video with his very special squeaking noises.



Thirty minutes later we were the first to see the bride and groom exit the church. Landon looked more confused than impressed, but I'm sure he was happy for them. It was a nice weekend, even if stressful for me by the end. I'm glad we saw my dad's side of the family and the first of my ten cousins get married- and I admit, dressing Landon up was half the fun :)


Author's note: No alcohol was ingested during the above baby's encounter with the wee bourbon bottle.

  1. I haven't commented much since the fall, but have been lurking still. I just had to say that the pictures of Landon with the bourbon? PRICELESS! Seriously...the cutest, funniest pictures I have seen.

    Good luck with your exams this week!

  2. Sumo was reaching for my beer yesterday that I consumed at a friend's BBQ. It was both hilarious and oddly disturbing.

  3. What a handsome little man. I don't blame him for sucking on the tiny bottle of liquor. I would have the same impulse.

  12. on having another baby...If I had let my experience with Tricia, another colicky screamer, determine family size I would not have had Liz. That, and I'm stubborn and new I could do this Mom/baby thing better!

  14. Maybe you should have loosened the top just a smidge -- he may have slept and you coulda seen the wedding!

    So cute!

    And a little off-topic.... I have thought quite a bit about when Landon was actin'a'fool and you were thinking of no more children.... No one understands that better than I -- my first one was, uhm, 'spirited'? I thought I'd die trying to raise her. But I had more, ONLY because I was an only and hated it. Well, it was a dream-come-true. The second baby was pleasant and effortless, and, And, AND entertained her big sister. It made it easier to have more, actually.....

  15. That last picture, he looks like a baby Josh Lyman - I've seen that expression on Bradley Whitford's face in The West Wing.

  16. RJ, that completely cracked me up- it's so true.

    There's been a hole in my life since that show ended.
