hull's - stephen, lara, sadie & landon

We had a great Christmas :) Landon didn't really understand what was going on, but he loved all the new toys and attention. We had a wonderful time with friends and family.

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to Landon, Happy Birthday to you!

I can't believe our little guy is 1 already! This year flew by! He's walking better and better every day and looking so big. Now when people comment on him when we're out they say, "what a cute little boy" instead of "what a cute baby". :( How did that happen? He has grown up so fast.
He is such a joy to us :D We're looking forward to all the years ahead.

Our trip to Louisiana

2007-09-10T09:56:00.000-05:00

Steve and I went to Louisiana with some friends to see the VT vs. LSU game. We had a great time up until the game :( VT did not do so well.
Landon stayed home with MeMe, PopPop on Friday and part of Sunday. With Neri, Gran, Brooke and Baliee on Saturday and part of Sunday. He didn't seem to miss us at all. He was very excited when we came home.
Steve and I visited New Orleans on Friday, and tailgated most of the day on Saturday with our friends. It was a great trip.

Landon's first trip to the beach

2007-09-03T19:39:00.000-05:00

We had a great time at the beach! Landon loved all the action. He was not afraid of the ocean at all and loved jumping the waves. Trying to keep him from eating the sand was a chore at times.
The hotel had this really cool baby pool. One end was 3" of water and the other end was 2". Landon loved crawling around in it and walking around the edge.
Our first vacation as a family :D

2007-08-27T10:09:00.000-05:00

We went to a friend's Birthday Party this weekend and it was so much fun. It was a Country theme with square dancing. We had a ball!

2007-07-06T13:30:00.000-05:00

We had some friends over to cookout for lunch. They have a 1 1/2 year old and a 7 week old, so cute! Later that day we went by the neighbor's house to see her baby tiger. He was really cute! Landon was freaked out by it. Each time we set him down he would squeal and then cry. That evening several neighbors set off some pretty great fireworks. Landon slept through 30 minutes of fireworks, how i don't know b/c they were LOUD! Once he woke up we brought him out to watch. He liked them, but was scared at the same time.

Look at the fun we had today!!

2007-06-30T17:29:00.000-05:00

Landon loved riding on the Ranger. He loves loud noises and movement. Notice in the video how his hair is blowing in the wind.

It was a great day! Steve has been out of town, but got back today :) We went out to Outback for dinner.
Landon has a new interest in Sadie... he would like to put her in his mouth like he does everything else. He loves to pet and watch her. Steve says they will be best friends ;)

Landon is growing like a weed!!

2007-01-02T18:48:00.002-05:00

Landon is now 6 weeks old and he's growing so fast. At his 4 week appointment he was 9lbs 4oz. I can't wait to see how much he weighs at his 8 week appointment on January 17th, I bet he's well over 10lbs.
Landon has been pulling some 5 1/2 and 6 1/2 hour stretches at night, it is so nice to get some long stretches of sleep :)

Landon all grown up

going home

2006-11-19T23:50:00.000-05:00

last night landon got to watch the hokies win! today (sunday) landon got to come home to his room. he was soon greeted by more family. both his aunt allison, uncle ed, aunt sherry and cousins grayson, jackson, cole, ryan and abby all came to see him. quite an exciting day for the big man. mommy and daddy are not looking forward to feeding him during the middle of the night as the last two nights have not be the most restful nights of our lives. oh well that is what has to be done. soon enough we shall have a baby-wise baby and he will be sleeping through the night!

well as i was typing up the last post thinking we had plenty of time to get it done lara quickly went to 10cm at 210am just as the midwife walked in the door. so needless i had to put away the computer and start helping. i was part of the process as the midwife directed and got things in place and, keishe' and myself each held a leg. after 30 minutes of pushing at 245am landon ryan hull came into this world. 8.0 pounds 19.75in. soon after landon was greeted by his gran, aunt neri, brook, bailey, me me and pop pop. lara and i finally got back to the room around 5am that morning. i got about an hour of sleep but lara did not have any until the next night. yes we were both tired!

on the way!

2006-11-17T01:53:00.001-05:00

around 915pm lara started loosing her water! quickly contractions began and become regular. we quickly finished gathering the last few things and i placed them in the car and got sadie ready to go to me me and pop pop's. we dropped her off around 1015pm and left for the hospital around 1035. i droped lara off at the emergency entrance since it was after dark. i hustled to the parking garage and brought all the gear with me back to the emergency entrance and lara was escorted to the 8th floor to her room in a wheel chair (which she said she didn't need but...)

at the time the nurse got her in the gown and checked out she was 4 cm and contractions were getting strong. after a while of sitting up and bearing the contractions lara decided she wanted to walk. that didn't last to long and we were back to the room to sit on the bed again. at that point lara asked for the epidural which was preformed at 100am. At this point lara was 8cm. she is now resting and waiting for the midwife to arrive. the baby boy should be here soon!!!

sadie got a new stuffed animal on sunday, dino the dinosaur. she has bonded rather well as they take their naps and go to bed time together now. dino replaced mr frog which wore out rather fast for a "pet designed" toy. hopefully dino will fill the void left by bunny (her personal favorite) when she was torn open after almost two years of faithful friendship!
