Landrum is 5 months old and it is so hard to believe. She changes so quickly now and is really getting to be a big girl! She loves rolling over, talking, singing and grabbing her toes.. She goes to church three mornings a week while I work at mothers morning out and really loves her teachers! I think there will be a tooth making an appearance sometime soon as she loves to gnaw on anything she can get her hands on.
The weather has been so wonderful this week so I am trying to get her outside more - especially since the rain has finally subsided for a while. She has had to sport a sweater for the first time since it is so chilly in the mornings.
Last night, we decided we would walk over to flowood park so I could do my jogging there on the track, then we would walk to El Sombrero for a little mexican supper, yum yum, and then swing by babies r us and walk home. We felt we were back in turkey walking so much! While on our walk to the park, Jared was pushing the stroller and I was walking alongside him, he was sort of weaving back and forth and so I was getting pushed into the gutter a little bit.. not watching where I was going until I almost stepped right onto a huge snake! In our neighborhood! We live in suburban America and are having some serious snake issues. This snake was atleast 3 feet long and a fatty - it had just eating something we could see it bulging in its belly. At first we weren't sure if it was dead or alive.. we stood a few feet away throwing gravel pebbles at it while cars drove past I am sure thinking we were crazy... turns out it was dead.. Jared also recently had to chop a snake up in the lawnmower in the back yard and a few weeks ago we had one curled up in our garage by the back door.. not dead. good grief! I did not have this many snake encounters when I lived in Africa! I wish I had a picture of the boa constrictor that nearly attacked me last night on our walk but I venture to say it is probably gone by now.. so just take my word. I am sure it was poisonous!
Enjoy the new pics of big girl!

there's no snakes in farmington. i guess you picked the wrong neighborhood :)

Jayme,
I laughed so hard about the boa constrictor "attacking" you...you should probably carry a machete for protection on your next walk!
Landrum is adorable, I know ya'll are enjoying her so much!
