Bama vs Virginia Tech

Mom and Dad drove over to ATL for the Bama - Virginia Tech game on Saturday. And yes, before you call them bad parents for leaving a 2 week old, they ensured we were left in good hands. Nana, Grandad, Aunt Debbi, Niki and Alex looked after Emerson while Gran looked after Courtland. So there, no need to miss a perfectly good Bama Victory!

Courtland's First Photo Shoot

Mom's photography teacher was so sweet to come over when Courtland was just 8 days old to take pics of the little man. Her name is Susanne King, and as you can see below she does wonderful work. Now, if only Mom could begin taking pics half this good she would be happy...guess Mom needs to stick to counting beans!

Courtland Week Two

What's up Doc?

Yay! Courtland's pathology results came back completely normal. For those of you who don't know, Courtland was born with a knot in his cord, and the cord was loosely wrapped around his neck. However, the knot was of much more concern to the docs. They sent off Mom's placenta to be tested for signs of scarring, oxygen deprivation, etc. Though we won't know 100% until a little later in life, we are praying and thinking positive that there will be no developmental problems related to this knot. Also, below are pics of Courtland's first doc visit and Emerson's 15 month old visit. We were able to tag team them, which made for an interesting visit (consisting of lots of screaming)! Thankfully we had man on man coverage!

C'mon mom...don't I get dessert for being a good boy at the doc!

I know you ain't putting those needles in my leg...Oh No You Don't!

All smiles in the waiting room....if we had only known the torture we were about to endure!

Courtland Week One

Mom has been bad about taking pics of Courtland. Attached are a few she snapped quickly. Enjoy!

Happy B'day to me. Here I am on my Week One Birthday!

Shhh. Baby is sleeping!

Gran made my going home outfit.

Zoo Time = Emerson Time

Emerson is still doing great in his new role as Big Bro....But as an extra special treat, Mom & Dad decided to take him to the zoo on Saturday for some one-on-one time while Gran kept Courtland. Emerson loved the zoo and was totally mesmerized by all of the animals. We can't wait to take him back. Also, check out our cool new double, running stroller (thanks Pop and Meme)!

Emerson is such a big boy, he thought it would be more fun to push the stroller than ride!

And the Adventure Begins....

From a family of five (yes, Bear and Butler count) to a family of six, Mom is thrilled to finally have all of her boys at home. Below are pics of us leaving the hospital. We picked Emerson up from daycare on our way home. He has done fabulous with the baby. He likes to push Courtland's swing, give him and take his pacifier, give him and take his bottle and put balls in Courtland's lap.....also when asked to love the baby, he goes over to Courtland and pats his tummy and legs...Keep your fingers crossed that all continues to go well. Since Mom can't pick Emerson up for 6 weeks (YIKES), Dad and Emerson are having some great guy bonding time!

Mom, Dad and Courtland checkign out of room #209....we sure will miss the nursery taking care of the little man at night! Sleepless nights here we come!
