A really BIG deal!

Landon Kole is now two months old! He weighed in last week at a whopping 13 pounds 11 ounces, putting him in the 90th percentile for weight and the 75th for height. I saw a baby outfit at Costco on Friday that said "I am a really BIG deal" and I thought "this was made for our baby!" I love how healthy and chubby he has gotten except for the fact it feels like I blinked and the newborn stage was over. He has been wearing 3-6 months clothes for almost 2 weeks already. We love all of his chubby rolls and Rylan has nicknamed him "Bubs" and "Chief".
He is such a cuddly little guy. I try to lay down everyday for a nap with him not just because I am tired but because I can get enough snuggle time with this little one. And I know this won't last forever! Speaking of sleeping, Landon has not quiet figured out that it is ok to sleep more at night. I usually get one 31/2 hour stretch and from there it is every 2-3 hours. This is the one area I feel like there is lots of room for improvement. Landon is also a very spitty baby. He is such an enthusiastic eater that I think he overeats and then can't hold it all down! I try what I can to slow him down but it usually doesn't make a difference. We took this picture because we thought it was funny that Landon ALWAYS has on a bib even when he is naked (plus it shows off his fantastic physique he has been working so hard for). The bib is just as necessary as the diaper in order to contain what feels like constant spewing! Landon really began smiling and cooing within the past week and or two. He has a little dimple in his chin which we think is so handsome!

This video clip gets a little long. I haven't figured out how to edit our videos yet but most of the cute stuff is at the beginning ( I mean we think it is all cute of course!).

White Coat Ceremony

On Friday night, Rylan received his white coat. It was an exciting night for the whole family!

The following excerpt was taken from the program:
"The White Coat Ceremony symbolizes the transition of the DDS Class of 2012 from preclinical coursework to clinical education--providing care for patients. The white coat serves as a reminder to students that it is a privilege and an honor to assume responsibility for the oral health care of citizens of North Carolina and beyond. The coat, which is embossed with the wearer's name, also is a symbol of the leadership and competence the student has exhibited thus far and will continue to develop throughout his or her dental education. The wearer of the white coat is expected to strive for excellence and compassion in all aspects of their professional life."

Congratulations Rylan! We love you and are so proud of you! Now get to work!

Like Father, Like Son

The Tarheels beat Dook tonight! Our little Tarheel slept through the whole game but he sure looked super cute!

Like the Shirt! Love the smiles!

I guess we live in a flood zone...

We knew there was a creek bed behind our house but we didn't know that our house was sitting in the middle of it. After it rained all night and all day there was an inch of standing water all around the house and a river along with a nice pool of water that was about two feet deep.

Later that night it started to snow and this is what we woke up to the next morning.

Three days later it was 76 degrees...crazy weather.

Mama's Baby Boy!

Landon melts my heart everyday!

Life is Beautiful.
