Well, our little Landon is officially one week old, and I am back among the "Land of the Living". It took me four days to check my cell phone messages, and even longer to log onto my email account. After a week though, I'm ready for some adult interaction.
Our sweet baby is doing great! He is eating like a champ (about 5 oz. every three hours), which makes me wonder, when you also take into account those huge hands and feet, exactly how big this kiddo is going to be! He went to see the pediatrician last Friday, and they said that his jaundice is clearing up. By Monday morning his complexion looked about like mine. One feature he may have actually inherited from me! Based on the general concensus, everything else is apparently from his good-looking Daddy! Oh, and VERY good news...last night he slept for 5 hours straight! This was truly an answer to prayer, as I was beginning to fall asleep just walking around the house. It may have been a fluke, but I'm hoping he's starting to give up his nocturnal ways!
Enjoy the new photos. He's certainly a cutie!

I love the quote on his onsie. That's priceless! And I'm pretty confident that there will come a day when you will not remember how tired you are right now and how hard it is - well, for the most part. Otherwise, everyone would stop at 1! :)

He's so cute! Oh, I wish I could cuddle him. I agree with you - he looks like his daddy. And he does have big hands and feet - I think he's going to be a big guy. Good job you two. What a pretty baby you made.

Big hands, big feet, already taking five oz. at feedings....... Start saving now for his teenage appetite.
Sleep loss showing, except Landon's. Hang on. It will get better, and he'll probably get scholarships to help with higher education. Wow! You guys are precious.

Hey there,
I've been following your blog ever since Sarah mentioned it, and the pictures of Landon are SO sweet.... you look like you're having a blast being a mom! I've been wanting to put a picture movie together of blog families with a lullaby song I love, so I finally did and there's sweet pics of y'all.... so it's on my blogsite and I hope it makes you even happier as a mama.
