Rollin', rollin', rollin'-Finally!!

After trying for about a week, Landon has finally achieved rolling over from his back to his belly. He mastered the belly to back portion a while ago, but often forgets how to do it and gets extremely frustrated when he can't do it. He rolled over 3 times this morning and I missed it every time. I would come in the room to find him laying there on his belly smiling at me. I finally captured it on film this afternoon!

No Pictures this time-Sorry!


So there's this little game among friends with blogs and apparantly I've been tagged by my dear friend Raegan. I'll do my part and play along, although I'm not sure who I'll be "tagging" because she already got the people I would tag. Anyway, some facts about myself............
1. I went back to work this week after being off for the last 4 months. It actually wasn't as traumatic as I thought it would be. I'm only working 2 days a week, which gives be some much needed adult conversation and allows me to challenge my brain a little differently. Landon is doing great at day care and is sleeps better at night when he goes. He would rather stare at the other babies than take his naps! He did giggle at me when I picked him up the first day. I guess he missed me!
2. I still don't function well on very little sleep. I find myself putting items in strange places when I haven't gotten enough sleep. For example, this week I caught myself putting Ragu in the freezer next to the dog treats that also didn't belong there! OOPS! Sadly, Rice cereal is not helping with Landon's sleep issue!
3. I can't remember the last movie I saw in the theater, but I hope it was a good one!
4. I'm already getting excited about Christmas because I love driving around and looking at all the lights.
5. I'm learning again what it means to be a "football widow" because Mike goes out on the road recruiting next week. I've gotten spoiled having him around on the weekends this fall for the first time in 8 years!
6. I love living in Georgia, but I'm finding that my slight southern accent grows thicker by the day. "Fixin' " is now part of my daily vocabulary!
7. I forgot how afraid I was of mean geese (the kind who used to chase us around the yard when I was little), but now I have a patient with a "guard goose" and it tried to bite me in the rear yesterday as I rang the doorbell! Occupational hazard when you do home health in rural Georgia!
So that's it....7 random facts about me! I hope that was fun for everyone! Raegan- you're not getting a Christmas card this year!!!!! Just kidding :-) I guess the game will end with me as I have no one else to tag! I'll post more pictures a little later!

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!








Today we went to Jaemor Farm, which is a farm with a pumpkin patch, huge corn maze, pony rides, and an awesome little market just north of Gainesville. Landon is a little young for the pony rides, but he loved being carried around in the carrier. He kicked his little feet for and hour and a half. With so many interesting things to look at, it was hard to get him to look at the camera. Oh well!

Food and Fun!





We had a busy day today. As you can see, both of my boys like to lay around on the pooh blanket and relax. Today we tried solid food for the first time. The first picture is before he ate and the next picture would be after he ate. Below is the video I attempted to take as I fed him. I think he liked it!

16 Weeks!









Time is flying by and our little boy is growing so fast. He is laughing and smiling more with each passing day. He thinks it is hilarious when we change his clothes. (We'll try to get this on video!) He loves splashing his arms and legs in the bath. I must say that although he looks like his daddy, he has his mommy's sleeping habits. He is not a night owl! He turns into a pumpkin (aka-screaming fit thrower) @ 8 pm. I've learned to start the bedtime routine at 7 just in case I take too long. Landon loves it when daddy reads him his bedtime stories because he not only reads the story, but gives his own comments on the book (which crack me up) such as "Little Miss Spider" needs to develop some mental toughness or that a "goat can't really swim in a moat", something like that! So funny! Some of these pictures are a little blurry because Landon is in constant motion.
