Here are a bunch of videos of Theo I thought you'd like.
We're blessing him this Sunday, and I'm way excited!
I can't believe he's three months old. It seems like he's been with us forever, and I guess in a way, it's true.
He's smiling and laughing these days, and I love it! He's also started chewing on his pointer fingers, and it's way cute. When he's in his bed, I can tell he's awake, because I hear the tale-tell kissing noises he makes when sucking on his little fingers. I love it!

We're Moving!
To get those up to speed who don't know, Corbin got accepted to Cornell in Ithaca, New York! We'll be moving out there in August, and I've got lots of questions that I'd love some advice on. If you have any thoughts, please leave a comment here or on facebook.
Packing
We're not taking a whole lot of stuff. We're selling our couch, coffee table, TV, and some other large-ish stuff. Any good places to get boxes?
Any things (besides the obvious) that I should pack specially?
I've been doing a lot of research on moving trucks, pods, and van space. Corbin's dream is to do one of the two latter choices, then drive our little Kia to Ithaca. I think the thought of driving a big moving truck across the country is distasteful to him. What is the cheapest option, accounting for gas and everything?
Driving
So it will be a 2,000 mile trip. Theo will be about 7 months old when we go. What would be the best way to do this road trip? I'm thinking we'll stop about every 500 miles and sleeping in a motel. Here's my map.
It would take us 4 days. We'd be taking a lot of breaks for the baby of course. What are some good tricks for keeping a 7 month old happy in the car for 4 days?
I'm so excited to go to a new place with new adventures awaiting. I'm excited to have a new apartment and decorate it how I want. I'm excited to explore Cornell's campus, with it's waterfalls and stately buildings. And I'm excited for Corbin starting his PhD in PAM (Policy Analysis and Management). It's close to economics, which is what his undergrad is in.
Along with all my excitement, I'm getting more and more nervous about how different life will be. No matter the nerves, I know it will be great.
If you have any advice on one, some, or all of my questions, I'd really love to hear it. Thanks!
