Life is Grand

Can life get any better?
Michael and I are having a blast being parents. Not only is it fun watching Langston grow and learn, it is thrilling to watch each other figure out how to care and love on our child!Langston had his 2 week check up this past Friday. It was our first trip outside the house, so we got the diaper bag packed, fed the baby, got him tucked away in his car seat and were on our way! We bought him some sunglasses so we could get him accustomed to wearing them. Parts of Albuquerque are a mile closer to the sun! Langston spit up all over his outfit during the car ride and then proceeded to have a NASTY diaper at the doctors office. Michael and I decided to change the diaper before the doctor came into the room..haha... and for the first time...Langston peed without his diaper on... all over the whole exam table! Then he peed all over the doctor while he was checking out the circumcision! He was acting a fool...but we were laughing hysterically! Langston had gained A WHOLE POUND in 2 weeks...he went from weighing 6 lb 14 oz to 7 lb 14 oz....surpassing his birth weight (7 lb 6 oz)! He is a good eater and I am thankfully a milk machine! The doctor said he was pretty much perfect!...minus some clogged tear ducts...
Since the doctors appointment, we have taken Langston out to lunch a couple of times. It is wonderful to be able to leave the house...I was getting a bit lonely and claustrophobic!
We are adjusting pretty well to the change in our sleep habits. Michael is precious to watch as he swaddles Langston in the "burrito roll" and cuddles with him. We are both getting very protective of him. We take turns passing him off when he is inconsolable...Langston has a lot of tummy pain...I guess he takes after his mom :-) It can be a bit nerve-racking when we can't figure out what we can do to help him. There is really nothing to complain about..honestly...we LOVE taking care of him!Michael and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary this past weekend and are very thankful for Michael's parents who came to play with their first grandchild and to babysit for us! We went to dinner and saw Shrek! Kevin, my brother is coming to visit this weekend and some friends are coming the next weekend!!! We are definitely feeling the LOVE!! We are also preparing for the big move here in a couple of weeks! There is a lot to do in a little time!
Please pray for our family as we make the move to Albuquerque! We need a smooth transition to a new house, new jobs, and a new life with a son!
