More Newborn Photos

Here are a few more photos of Davis that my friend took. If you didn't get to see the first ones, click here: http://www.nfocusphotography.blogspot.com/





Landon is still enjoying live with his new baby brother. Today at lunch, he suddenly said, "Daddy, I love you. And I love baby Davis and Mommy, . . . and my milk!" I'm glad to know we're all up there with his milk. He also has quite the imagination these days. He often will be carrying around something imaginary in his hand. When we ask him what it is, he usually says a kitty, but also it might be a bird or a dog, or . . . who knows. He even took the kitty to nursery today, so Shane had to tell his nursery leader what it was. When I was making breakfast yesterday morning, I walked to open the fridge and he told me I had just walked through his cave and broke it, and I needed to be careful.

Landon also loves letters, and he is more and more interested in how things are spelled. He spells mom and dad, but he also has a recent interest in Exit signs, and he's always pointing them out to me. Today, we went on a walk, and on our way home, and said, "Daddy, E-X-I-T spells exit." I guess he's seen the exit signs enough to remember what letters are in it.
Here are just a couple of pictures of him talking to Davis this evening.


Baby Kallie Arrives!

Early this morning, Jacob and Stacey's little baby Kallie was born. She was 8lbs 4oz and 19 inches long. She looks like a cutie! If you want to see some pictures, check out their blog at http://jacobandstacey.blogspot.com/. Congratulations Jake and Stacey!

More Davis Pictures

Here is another slideshow with pictures of baby Davis. We hope you enjoy them! We are doing well and adjusting to life at home with the new baby. (If you want to see the slideshow in a larger version, click on the little box that says "Davis Slideshow, Created by Shane" in the bottom left corner.)



Landon likes to help his baby brother when he is crying, and he will sing a song or say, "It's okay baby Davis." Landon is having fun too playing with his Grandma Morris. Yesterday, they went to the Children's Museum, and today they went outside and Landon made her play Red Light Green Light for awhile. Good thing Grandma is such a good sport! He will be sad to see his grandma go, but not as sad as I will be!!!

The baby is here!

Unbelievable! After arriving at the hospital on Thursday expecting a Valentine's Day baby via c-section, we were told Jessica was having strong contractions and that she may be able to deliver naturally still. So, for nearly twelve hours Jessica went through labor (she opted for the epidural, so that's good).

In the end of it all she ended up getting a fever and they determined it was safest to go ahead with the c-section anyway. So, at 12:24 am this morning the baby arrived! There was an audible gasp in the OR when everyone saw him. Here are the stats on the new baby:
Weight 11 lbs. (Good grief!)
Length: 21 Inches
Future Career: New York Giants Lineman!

Here are some pictures:



We'll post more after we've rested a bit, so check back!

Love you all!

Shane & Jessica and Landon
