Our First Attempt at Live Video

Last Saturday afternoon, Mike and I were having a relaxing day at home with Landon. Landon and I were on the floor doing some "tummy time" like we normally do every day when all of a sudden, HE ROLLED OVER! I laughed, which made him giggle. Since then tummy time has become much more challenging as you'll see in this video I took this morning because he just wants to roll over all the time!

More Pictures- Just Because

Due to populer demand, here are a few more pictures!

10 Weeks Today!

It's hard to believe it's been 10 weeks since God blessed us with our little boy! In some ways it seems much longer ago than 10 weeks, but in others, it seems like just yesterday that those precious little eyes looked up at me for the very first time. Landon changes so much each day. He is smiling much more often now, occasionally laughs, and has lots to say in little babbles. He is starting to recognize us as well. Last night when Mike got home from work, Landon was a little fussy, but when I handed him over to Mike, he got the biggest grin on his face-as if to say "hi daddy!". We had to include in the pictures above the cutest little sad face we've ever seen. We took it last night right before he fell asleep. He's doing really good with his tummy time as well. Right now he weighs 11.5 lbs and is 24 inches long. He's in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th for height. We're having so much fun watching him change and grow!

Our First Road Trip

For those of you who don't know, about a week after Landon was born, Mike was offered a job as Director of Football Operations at Georgia State University in Atlanta. He will be working for his former college coach, Bill Curry. This job is truly a gift from God and it came completely out of the blue. When I was in labor at the hospital, we turned on the Atlanta news in time to hear the announcement of Coach Curry's hire.

Yesterday Landon took is very first road trip out of state to to North Carolina to Bill and Carolyn Curry's vacation home in the mountains for our very first Georgia State staff retreat. For those of you who don't know what Coach Curry looks like, that's him in the pictures above with Landon. We all got Georgia State T-shirts to wear when we arrived....even our littlest staff member got one!! The boy looks good in blue! The drive only took about 2 hours, but it was long enough for Mike and I. Overall, Landon did pretty good in the car except for a few moments of seemingly endless crying. The last 20 minutes of the trip were the worst, both getting there and coming home. He did pretty well while we were there and slept only briefly all day. He was so tired that he actually slept all night last night!!!!! It was great to meet our new staff and their families. The Curry's home is amazing! It's a log house on the top of a mountain with a panoramic view from the family room and back porch of Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina mountains. We could stay there forever! It was so relaxing to sit in the rocking chair on the porch, listen to the fountain, and just stare at the mountains! This picture above is actually the back of the house. It was so much cooler outside being that high up in the mountains that we were able to have a very enjoyable outdoor picnic. Landon just sat in his little car seat, kicked his little feet and blew bubbles. He was a hit!!
