Van’s first vacation
We left early yesterday morning and flew to New Jersey for Kenny’s flight training. Van did so good on the planes and slept the entire time. We thought all that sleeping might keep him awake last night, but he did great. Van and I are hanging out at the hotel for the next few days while Kenny is at the airport. It is pretty much just like being at home since we are staying at the Homewood Suites… it is so nice to have a kitchen and living room and not have to sit on bed all day long. Van was so happy this morning, I thought I’d take a…

Van Rolls Over
Van rolled over tonight for the first time from his tummy to his back! We watched him the first time then ran and grabbed the video camera and caught him rolling over again for the second time. Yeah Van!

One Month Old!
Van is one month old today. He hit a growth spurt this week and is getting so big. On Monday he weighed in at 9 lbs 1 oz and after the crazy week he had, I am sure he gained a ton this week. I can’t wait to weigh him in on Monday and see how much he has grown. We decided to take his one month pictures today, it was an interesting experience. Babies don’t always cooperate 🙂 First he was attacked by a giraffe… Then we decided he might like the bear a bit more… Van got tired half way through the photo shoot… Finally a smile… Happy…

The extraordinary Tom Knapp
While I was suffering from Baby Van withdrawals in Colorado Springs for four days, I did manage to fill one of my days with something I had been wanting to see for a long time. I got to see exhibition shooter, Tom Knapp. He has two shows of his own on the OLN as well regularly appearing on “Impossible Shots” show. It was a blast! He is a super nice guy and went through the crowd before the show introducing himself and shaking hands. He also stayed after the show for a good hour signing autographs on clay pigeons and taking pictures. A real class act. I had unfortunately missed…

Van’s First Week
Today Van is one week old! He has had a full week all full of firsts… first bath, first doctor’s visit, first time on tv… you know, all the normal stuff 🙂 He is a great baby and sleeps all the time. He even slept all through the night last night. Hopefully that will continue! He is eating great and is plumping up. We went to the doctor yesterday and Van is almost back up to his birth weight. I am recovering and am feeling almost back to normal, except for the fact that it still hurts to bend over. The only hard thing is remembering to take it easy…

Van’s Photo Shoot Preview
A friend of ours from college, Jennifer Jabbour, is a natural light photographer and offered to come over yesterday to take newborn shoots of Van. The photo shoot went really well even though Van was awake for most of the shoot. It took a while to get him to fall asleep so we could get a few of the shots, but overall he did amazing. Check out the sneak peak of the photo shoot. We will post the link to all the pictures once they are finished. http://jenniferjabbour.com/blog/?p=82 P.S. If you are looking for a photographer, I would totally recommend Jen. She has a great eye and is super patient…
