We spent Friday morning at Landon's cardiologist appointment at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital. They wanted to check out his murmur they found in the hospital, they weren't too concerned because they requested the appointment a month after he was born.Well, we have the results, he is healthy!
He still has the slight murmur but she said it is called the "insignificant murmur" and won't effect him at all. The patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) that the cardiologist was worried about closed like they thought it would. However, there is one little valve in his heart that hasn't closed yet, but they are not concerned. The cardiologist told us that this is common in infants and can take up to about a year to close up. Apparently it plays a key role while the baby is in the womb. It doesn't effect anything after birth, so we won't worry if they don't worry! However, they want to see us back after he is 1 years old. So all good news there!

After the cardiologist appointment we went to the Lowry Park Zoo for the afternoon. Our friend Ashely had free passes that were going to expire so she kindly gave them to us. It was really nice to walk around and see all the animals. Again, Landon slept most of the afternoon, but we woke him up for some photos.
We were actually pretty popular at the zoo. Moms just loved Landon's cool stroller fan (thank you cousin Lacey!) and his sun shield cover. Dads loved Chad's shirt that says, "this guy loves the Cubs" (thank you Natalie!). It was a pretty successful day!

After the zoo we went and had dinner in Oldsmar at this pizza place called Pinocchio's with some of Chad's family. Landon met Aunt Lyn, Uncle John, Aunt Roxanne, and cousins from Chicago, Mike, Jennifer, Max, and Katie as well. Grandpa (Landon's Great Grandpa) was also at dinner. It was really nice to see everyone! And the pizza was awesome!
