Landon is getting more and more interactive and we love him more and more every day. We are so blessed to have this sweet baby boy in our lives!
We started off the month with me recovering from a 36-hour stomach flu....man, that is not fun at all when you are taking care of an infant and trying to nurse him every 2-3 hours but we managed. My dad (a.k.a. Pops) came into town Albuquerque to meet Landon that first weekend. We had a blast going out to dinner, hanging at the house, going to an UNM basketball game, and playing golf. Here's a couple of pics from that trip!
The second week was pretty low key and I think I realized that I did not step foot outside of our house from Sunday to Thursday....pathetic, I know. Lee spent a day in Hobbs, NM and we had the UNM Foundation Board of Directors reception on Thursday night. We brought Landon and, of course, he was the hit of the party and did wonderful being in public! That Friday, our good friends Betsy and James Campbell came to visit us from Tucson. We had a wonderful time showing off Landon to them and just hanging out at football and basketball games, church, shopping, and eating at Rudy's BBQ. Here are our sweet friends on their trip to the Q!
The third week was also low key, which is a much needed lifestyle change for us since we have Landon now. Landon had his two month checkup and got his first round of shots he weighs 10 pounds 2 ounces (25%), is 22 inches long (25%), and is in the 5% of head circumference. Our little man has a little head! We also went to the reception for the new football coach UNM hired and Lee went out of town for two nights to Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona. It was my first nights with Landon by ourselves. We managed but I sure was tired when Lee got back on Sunday morning! What would I do without such a great and supportive husband who helps out with Landon so much?
Finally, it was Thanksgiving Week! The fall is my favorite time of year and Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Landon and I spent the week getting everything prepared and bought and my mom and Jason came into town on Wednesday night. Mom and I cooked and baked on Thanksgiving morning and we ate our big Thanksgiving meal at lunch and then watched the Cowboys game followed by the Texas A&M vs. tu game. Wish the Aggies game had turned out better though. On Friday, Jason and Lee played golf while Mom and I hung out at the house with Landon and shopped a little. Jason left on Saturday and on Sunday, mom, Lee, Landon and I went to church and then rode the tramway up to Sandia Peak. It was a blast and then we came home and decorated the house for Christmas! Mom left on Monday morning and we ended the month celebrating our niece's 5th birthday from afar and Lee went to the UNM basketball game while Landon and I stayed home.
Our November was definitely one to remember! Hope yours was too.
