New Adventures

Landrum has been up to all sorts of new things lately, most importantly - growing. While we were in Dallas she went through a growth spurt - since then she has been packing on the pounds! Jared weighed her last week and we think she is at least 13 lbs! What a big girl! She is also sitting in her bumbo now, reading books in her chair, and doing plenty of tummy time! It is hard to believe our baby is growing so fast! In fact, last Sunday I sent her to the nursery at church for the first time - she did GREAT, my stomach hurt the entire service!! I sent her back again today - she really enjoys Sunday School!

On another note we are headed to the Neshoba County Fair next week. We will be there for an entire week. Landrum is really geared up for her first fair! More to come on those adventures!

A Series of Firsts

Well Landrum has made her first big trip - we took her to Dallas for the fourth of July - another first, her first Independence Day! She did great in the car although the usual 6 hour trip turned into an 8 hour trip; lots of stops along the way! She had a wonderful time playing with her cousins, Jack and Rylie and got to do lots of fun things. She even went for her first swim! We went to a pool party on the fourth and baby girl took a few dips in the pool - she loved it! She also went to her first fireworks show - thankfully we were far enough away that they weren't too noisy, and I think she slept through most of it anyway! However, the evening was not without excitement. While we were in the parking lot waiting for the shuttle to take us to the fireworks extravaganza baby girl had a serious blow out - I mean shooting down her leg onto the pavement - we had to act fast. There was thankfully a city truck nearby and we threw down the tailgate whipped out her mat and sprang into action!
The plan was for baby and I to drive home on Wednesday by ourselves, Jared flew home Saturday; however, thankfully Erin and the kids decided to come along for the ride! I was so thankful for the company and the extra hands with baby!
