3 months old!

Landen is 3 months old today!! Where did the time go?!? We have been to Blackshear to meet and visit all the family, we've been to Atlanta to visit his Great Grandma and Grandpa Adams, and he has enjoyed 2 weeks with his Gi Gi when I started back to work and 2 weeks with his Mo Mo and Bop after that! What a lucky boy! He will be starting with his new Nanny tomorrow and I'm a little anxious. Hoping its a smooth transition (for me more than him, I think). He is doing great! He's rolling over, from stomach to back and back to stomach, sometimes even doing a continuous roll across the living room floor (which he apparently only wants to do for MoMo and Bop). He is trying desperately to communicate with us and is learning more and more everyday to use his hands with more accuracy. He loves Elmo, bath time, playing with his soccer and his rattles, and loves staring and "talking" to his family. It's so much fun having him around. We are trying desperately to create a schedule for this kid, but he doesn't always agree and cooperate with the plan, but I think we are making progress. We love watching him grow and change everyday!!!

6 1/2 weeks old!!!

Well, Matt and I have successfully managed to keep a kid alive for 6 weeks now! Shocking, huh? We're having a really great time being parents, but sometimes wish he would have come with a manual, as I'm sure most parents can relate. My baby is now 6 1/2 weeks and I'm already wondering where the time has gone. At his first month appointment, he is already weighing in at a whopping 10 lbs, 15 oz. and is in the 75-90th percentile for weight and is in the 97th percentile for height and is now 23 1/2 inches long. He is growing so fast and is becoming more engaging by the day. We are beginning to enjoy sounds and smiles from him and look forward to each of the milestones.....I just wish it was a slower process.

Past out, he's loves sleeping on his side.

Landen Taylor Kinnaird is born!!!!

Landen Taylor Kinnaird (yes, we changed the spelling) was born at 8:12pm on December 12, 2011 at Mission Hospital in Asheville, NC. He weighed a whopping 9 pounds, 3 ounces and was 22 inches long. We ended up having a c-section after 12 hours of labor and stalling out at 6 cm in the labor process. All is well, still in the hospital, but thinking we will heading home tomorrow sometime. We're all happy and healthy and ready to go home and enjoy our baby!!! So....here he is:
