Please Touch











Today, I took my niece and nephew along with James to the Please Touch Museum. He loved it. He rode in the cars, placed with the water and went grocery shopping amongst other things. He was asleep almost before he pulled off!

My name is James

Tonight James and I are sitting there eating dinner and we ask little James who I was, and who daddy was and then who he was and he said "James" I was super duper shocked! We did it a couple of more times to be sure.

Today's doctors appointment went well, heard the heartbeat. I received a script for the ultrasound. Well find out in about 2 weeks.

Snow

Jimmy had so much fun in the snow today. His mittins kept coming off and he kept telling us to put them back on.

Night Night/Sleep

Last night, Jimmy takes his bath, we read some stories, say our prayers, we both say "Amen" and he points to his bed and says "night night." My oh my how he is growing.

Right now at 12:45 P.M. on Christmas Eve both James' are asleep together in our bed. Why don't I take advantage and take a nap. Oh I know because I nap for 20 minutes and then I'm up! Time to get ready to go to mom's soon anyway! Merry Early Christmas

Live Nativity

Tonight mom mom and I took Jimmy to a live nativity. It was at Merrymead Farms. As we left the house James told him to look out for Christmas lights and tell mommy. The whole way there, I heard "Mommy, mommy lights." When mom mom got in the car he started "Mom mom, mom mom lights." Too cute. It was cold out there, but I brought 2 blankets for Jimmy. He had no clue what was going on. He liked when he saw the donkey and the sheep. We left after the shepards came to see baby Jesus, but he had a good time and had the experience.

Dinner Bliss

Jimmy was such a good boy at dinner tonight. We went to Olive Garden for James' birthday and he behaved through dinner and even dessert. We were so proud.

Wednesday, December 15, 2010

Step Over

Jimmy wanted to go upstairs with his father so bad, but we kept telling him after his dad gets out the shower. So, we had a meltdown. It was okay because I put him in the middle of the floor and stepped over him. Then I tried to distract him by asking him if he wanted some grapes. He kind of said yes. Then, I did the grape dance which made him crack up laughing.

I asked Jimmy "where's the baby" he then goes to my belly and starts kissing it leaving slobber all over my stomach. He does not know what is in store for him come June!

Not mom-mom

This little boy is too funny, he is talking to his Nana on the phone and confuses people and says "Mom-mom." I try to tell him everyone he talks to is not his mom mom. Funny kid!

Wipe

Tonight in his bath when I was getting ready to take him out, Jimmy decided he need to wipe his penis and butt butt. I'm trying to get him to understand the function of both so we can move onto potty training. It was a funny moment! I guess he wanted to make sure he was clean.

Christmas tree


We put up our Christmas tree today and what a project. Jimmy decided that he wanted to help and of course we encouraged him, but instead of putting the decorations on the tree he decided to throw the balls at his father. This year I purchased all new shatterproff balls for that reason (I'm glad I did). He had a great time. Mom kept laughing at him because as soon as I would put something on the tree, he would take it off! Gotta love 18 month children.
The picture is of Saturday morning when we were getting the decorations to place outside. Jimmy can literally sit on the deer!

Not a mommy's boy!

So much for Jimmy being a momma's boy. Tonight James and I were both putting him to bed. James was feeding him cereal while I read "I know my daddy loves me." After they were finished eating their cereal, Jimmy cried and kept pulling the book away from me. I thought it was because he wanted to read another story; no he wanted James to read to him. How funny. Then when I just sat there he just stared at me. I finally said "goodnight" and Jimmy replied "goodnight." TOOOO Funny and TOOOO Grown!

TOO Cute

Last night I locked James in his room while I went downstairs to finish laudry. When I left him he was playing on the floor. When I came back in his room he was in his rocking chair reading a book! All I could think was too cute! (and smart)!!!

Saturday, November 13, 2010

Exhausted

Between James and my mom I don't know who wears me out more shopping. James had a blast at Kohls this morning. He thought that he could play with all the toys and was mad that he couldn't take them out of the box. I did buy him some books one being "I know my daddy loves me". After shopping we had lunch at mom's and I made him take a nap before our afternoon adventure at the Norristown Zoo. He had a great time; although the jaguar started roaring and it was a sight to hear. James was fascinated. It was a great day had by all!

Sports Guys


James is our little sports guy! He loves standing by the door and taking pictures!

Election 2010

Jimmy voted twice today. He voted in the morning with mommy and in the evening with daddy. I think James allowed him to press the buttons, I know I did. we will both encourage him to vote because our ancestors died to be able to vote!

Since I was off today, Jimmy and I spent the day together. We went out for breakfast which was nice just the two of us. Later in the day he had his flu shot. At least it is off my To Do list!!!

Swim classes over

James did a great job at his latest round of swim classes. He actually can swim now. Today, he was splashing around the pool, moving both his arms and legs. He will take lessons again in the spring. I don't like getting him out in the cold and this morning confirmed it becuase it was cold!

Sunday, October 24, 2010

Ordination

Today was a wonderful day. James was ordained as a deacon at our church. It was a lovely service where God really moved. I am so proud of him and the man he is. The food was great made by family with love.

Fun at the Park

Jimmy had fun at the park tonight with his cousin Jay Jay. Jay Jay really didn't pay with Jimmy (he played with another kid) and Jimmy just tried to follow Jay Jay around. He loves his little cousin so much and wants to play with him. So, this is how it is going to be Jimmy follows Jay Jay and Jay Jay follows his Uncle James. Oh my!

Sunday, October 10, 2010

Ready Go!

Jimmy and I are in the dinning room and he is taking the basketball and saying "ready go" into his exersaucer. It was so cute because I think he was trying to get the ball in the exersaucer basket.

Saturday, October 2, 2010

Swim

James is doing really well in his swim classes. Today he actually was swimming for a little bit. I was so proud. The lifeguard asked me how old he was. I'm a proud mommy!

Tuesday, September 28, 2010

James

This evening after giving Jimmy his bath, I yelled to his father (who was in the kitchen "James." Next thing I know I hear the baby saying "James" I informed him he does not call his father by his first name, but I also reminded him that that is his name as well. We then started yelling "James" cute moment!

Monday, September 27, 2010

Walk

Jimmy was too funny tonight. He didn't want to eat so James said "If you eat, we will go outside." Well time ended up getting away from us and James had to go his meeting so we didn't go out. When Jimmy and I was saying goodbye to James he had a fit. So, I took him for a small walk in between the rain drops. He was so happy, but wanted to be picked up and I was not carrying him back home (he ended up walking)

Sunday, September 26, 2010

Dinner's Ready

I guess James was hungry last night for dinner. He obviously knew I was getting dinner ready and when he heard the microwave go off I heard him say "Eat eat." James and I started laughing. James put him in his high chair and off he ate.

Monday, September 13, 2010

Eater

I am so glad tonight James ate all of his dinner and then some. He had almost an ear of corn and some lasagna. He loved dinner tonight. When James (daddy) came home we were almost finished eating and dad was so proud. When James came through the door he yelled from his high chair "daddy daddy daddy." I love it :-)

Before eating dinner James saw the corn on the cob and was all about eating it. I showed him how you shuck the corn and he wanted to hold it, so I let him then he tried to eat it. Of course I took it from him, but he kept going back to the table and pointing to it. I then boiled the water and let him put a piece of corn in the water (after washing it of course). We kept checking back on the corn. Hopefully he understood the process in how it ends of up the table. After all this corn business he forgot about the apple he was eating.

Tuesday, September 7, 2010

Apple




James is too funny! He are some pictures of him just walking around the house eating his apple!

Monday, September 6, 2010

Milk

Today James went into the kitchen and told me he wanted milk and then he went right to the fridge!!! TOOOO smart. My mom and I were so surprised

Friday, August 27, 2010

Zoo





Today was James' first visit to the Philadelphia Zoo. He had a really good time looking at the animals. He really tried to bang on the glass of the reptiles. It was a shame the cats were sleeping.

Chuck E CHHHEEESSSEE




We took James to see the mouse at Chuck E Cheese (although the mouse was not there). We took him on a weeknight because we wanted to do something since his grandma from Germany was in town. I think his favorite game was skee ball. He couldn't play but he tried to throw the ball! How cute!

Swim Club

Today we went to a swim club where James' bosses daughter(Dana) works. She has been asking us to come all summer so we finally had a little time and went. The water was cold (I guesss because this wee it was not 90 degrees all week), but he still got in and played. It was a really nice family afternoon. We were going to go to Peddler's Village and walk around afterward but as soon as we got in the car James went to sleep.

15 Month

James had his 15 month doctors appointment. Everything went well. He weighed 20 pounds 9.8 ounces and was 30.25 inches and a head circumference of 18.5 inches. He's so tiny. The doctor and I discussed his diet and for me to give him more meal more often to help him pick up some weight.

Cookies for breakfast

This morning during breakfast James saw his cookies on the table. He proceeded to reach out and ask for a cookie. I told him and showed his is breakfast food and said "We eat breakfast foods for breakfast and do not eat cookies." He looked at me and said "Ohh" and proceeded to eat his breakfast. My jaw dropped because he completely understood. Smart cookie :-)

Vacation 2010











Jimmy was the star of our vacation well the entire cruise! He had a blast. It was so funny that everyone on the ship knew his name. I mean people would ocme up to me and say "Hi James." I was thinking how do you know who my son is. He did everything from swim to make friend to play with people to high five to hand shake to smile to frown. He grew up so much on this trip. We went to San Juan, Puerto Rico where Jimmy fell alsleep on the tour. Then we traveled to St. Thomas and did some shopping, then Dominican Republic. In DR we climbed this trial (which felt like a mountain) to see these waterfalls. They were beautiful. Jimmy got in the water there but it was cold and I don't think he like it. The waterfall was amazing (another experience for Jimmy). I think the best part was the beach in Haiti. Jimmy loved the water he spent hours on the beach just having fun!!! I brought his beach toys and he just played and played. It was a wonderful 9 day cruise followed up by 2 days in VA at a family reunion. The funniest thing though on the way to Baltimore James stayed awake even in the dark until we arrived at the hotel (2.5 hrs). On the way back from Virginia James slept (5 hrs) the entire time. So funny to me!

What a day!!!

So James did some things today that I was surprised by. The first one was reaching into his crib saying "get me" talking about his pacifier. He wanted me to get him his pacifier. I kept telling him no and he kept trying to get it by reaching into his crib. The second thing was James took a piece of trash (Imani's snack bag) and threw it in the trash can. My brother niece and I were so surprised.

Saturday, July 17, 2010

This morning James was telling the baby to give me my keys. Jimmy turned around to hand me the keys and said "No" We were so shocked and surprised, but I don't think he quite understands what no means yet. BUT someday he will.

Wednesday, July 14, 2010

Breastfeeding

So yesterday I did not breastfeed James at all. I mean not one single bit, I mean not even when he was falling asleep. For bedtime James had his milk and then cried and then I just sang and rocked him some and off he went to dream land. Yes, James can now dream (newborns do not)!

Thursday, July 8, 2010

So smart

It is so nice to have a healthy, smart, intellectual child. As I'm walking up to mom's house this afternoon James starts saying Mom-Mom. It was so cute that he knew that we were at my mom's house. When James saw mom he said Mom-Mom. Love it!!!!!

4th of July

Today was the 4th and we celebrated by going out to dinner. We had a cookout on Friday so we really didn't want cookout food. We went to Bonefish Grill and then everyone came over our house to go swimming. They had a good time. Jimmy did not go swimming because he was sleep and then it was too hot out! My mom, Jimmy and I played inside!

Friday, June 25, 2010

Tonight James found his way out of the high chair. I was in the kitchen cleaning up dinner and I hear a plastic bag moving around. I come in the room and there he was on the floor.

Thursday, June 24, 2010

Fair







James saw a fair on the way home from work and tonight was the first night we had a chance to go!!! He had a blast on the rides. It turned out the last ride we went on was the Ferris Wheel and I only had 8 tickets. They wanted 4 more (I told the guy that was all I had) he let us on anyway. Can you believe it 4 tickets per person and they would charge a baby!!! So, they let us on and he just looked around. Earlier James went on the Merry-Go-Round with his father. He had fun.

On Friday we asked my brother for his family to come with us to the fair (along with my mom of course). We thought since they have a 10 and 4 year old they would have a good time. They did of course and we stayed there until after 9. Jimmy slept late the next day!!!

Swim Lessons




Today was James' first day of swim class. He was great. He learned to blow bubbles, jump into the water off the side (really just move from the side into my arms), kick his feet and learn swimming strokes. We played water games and everyone. All this within an 1/2 an hour. He had a blast though. I couldn't wait to call daddy and tell him about it. After his class I got him pretzels from the Pretzel Factory. James was so tired that he went to sleep on the way home from Walmart. He slept for almost 2 hours and still slept in the afternoon again.

Later in the evening James went swimming in our pool with his daddy. He showed daddy that he learning how to kick and he slid in the pool from the side. Smart kid we have.

We both this evening were teaching him up/down and on/off. He got it well especially turning the TV on and off.

Father's Day 2010











The day began with James awakening at 6:45. We went for a walk just the two of us!!! So funny as we were walking (around 7:35) we saw a kid on a swing. I tell James to look at him (he does). Next thing I hear is the kids mom asking him what he was doing out the house so early; then she told him to get back in the house. Too funny. James and came back in the house and started to get breakfast ready for dad! We made him blueberry pancakes with turkey bacon. He loved it. We then gave him his cards and presents. All of which were a hit, especially the flip flops! Everyone got dressed and then off to church. James was sleep on the way to church so when we got there he stayed asleep and I was able to enjoy some of Sunday School. YEAH!!! After church we went to mom's and we had steak, lobster, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, Amish macaroni salad, tossed salad and for dessert ice cream, apple pie and key lime pie! The men after we watch a movie went to play basketball!!!Great time had by all :-)

Saturday, June 19, 2010

Pool/Book




James got in our pool for the first time. He loved it. We have a boat and he would just sit on top of the water barely getting wet. He did not like it. So I stuck him in the other floating device. This one his feet are in the water. He preferred that one until he started shivering because he was cold. It was a very nice family time together!




Tonight I read my first Dr. Seuss book to James all the way through. It was in the pile of bedtime books ( I guess daddy read it the night before). Normally I pick a really long Dr. Seuss book and he falls asleep before I get to the end, but not tonight. I surprised he even had the attention span because Green Eggs and Ham was the last book and this was after 2 other books and 2 bible stories. Smart kid huh!

Monday, June 14, 2010

Snack time




While I was getting dinner ready, I left out some snacks for James to eat. It was so funny because he grabbed a handful of snacks and then sat on the step. I of course let him know how cute this was and he just smiled. I thought "self this is a picture moment" and took the picture!




Oh how much he is growing and communicating. James let me know he wanted to go down his little slide by trying to take it apart and put it up. Unfortunately for him it is waaaayyyy too heavy. I helped him out and put him down the slide.




Later in the evening I helped him make a hand print of his hand at 1 years old. He did not like the plaster too much, but oh well!

Sorry a little blurry, I will work on the pic!

Wednesday, June 9, 2010

Deal

What is the deal. James woke up at 6:30 on Saturday, 6:00 on Sunday, 5:30 on Monday and he woke up normal time this morning. I don't know what the problem is. He also sounds like is a little sore throat. My co-worker said it may be allergies. That makes a little sense since we have been outside a lot and James was cutting the grass yesterday. Please this weekend 8:00 or at least 7:30!!!

Park Family


Today we had some much needed family time at the park. James is so adorable and he loves the swings. It was so funny when we were leaving he kept trying to get rid of James and my hand so we could go back and play!

Saturday, June 5, 2010

Swimming











My first time in a swimming pool and I had a blast. It was my cousin Izrael's first birthday party at the YMCA. I was trying to swim by kicking my legs and moving my arms, but of course mommy and daddy held on tight. The water felt a little cold, although they claimed it was 84 degrees. Thanks Uncle James for taking the pics!

Thursday, June 3, 2010

Hair Cut


James had his first haircut tonight. He cried the entire time. I felt so bad for him that when he was finished I just held him tight. Of course the smiling side of him quickly let it go, but my heart was breaking for him. The above picture is of him at IHOP afterwards. We know he love pancakes so we took him out to eat. He had pancakes with bananas and strawberries on top! Oh I love him so!

Wednesday, June 2, 2010

No food

This morning James really did not want breakfast. I think all he wanted to do was go back to sleep, but sorry Charlie mommy has to work so off to day care. I gave his toast as we were driving and he ate that!

Monday, May 31, 2010

TOOOOO HOT

It was so hot at the cemetery today I had to drive from grave to grave.

Our pool is not open yet, but I put Jimmy and Jay Jay in a little pool. Jimmy had so much fun splashing the water. He ended up trying to put his head under water and was surprised when he got wet.

Sunday, May 30, 2010

More Cookouts

Today was a blast at church. I went to the store twice had good praise and worship and then a cookin. We had a cookin because the men barbecued outside and brought the food in.

James had a good time at Uncle Carl and Aunt Helen's. He played with this truck the whole time, but went only to Uncle James, Aunt Marilyn and Mom-Mom. Oh well at least he had a good time.

Saturday, May 29, 2010

No!!!

Today, we had a busy day. We all went to James' aunt's apartment for a cookout. Jimmy was fine when we got there because he was sleep no issue's then. Well, he woke up of course and only wanted James and I. He wanted us mainly because he was eating the fruit salad and tearing it UP! When we were getting ready to leave James gave Jimmy to his Aunt Dee and he just cried---Oh no I hope he goes to people!

Friday, May 28, 2010

Long Ride

We had a long day today. James drove with me to Shippensburg University to go to my track meet. He slept all the way there (2hrs) and all the way home (2hrs). He was such a good boy. When I took my mom out shopping later that evening he was antsy probably because he was sick of being confined especially in a car seat.

Tuesday, May 18, 2010

All night long

Since we have been staying at mom's James has been sleeping with us. Well last night James laid him in his pack and play and he slept all night. I woke up in the morning and was worried he was not breathing becuase he did not make a sound. Of course this lasted until James was getting ready for work. BUT I fed him and back to sleep (this time in the bed).

Wednesday, May 5, 2010

Daycare--Trial

I dropped James off this morning for a 1/2 day of daycare. He cried when I put him down and then I moved him to the area where the other kids were and he was fine. I went out to the car to get his diapers/wipes/etc... and when I came back in he saw me and started to wine. I moved out the way and he was fine. I'm soooooooo sad, but did not cry.

Saturday, May 1, 2010

HAPPY BIRTHDAY


What a day. James' first birthday. The morning began with us having pancakes for breakfast. Since it was going to be in the high 80s, I was like we need some shade for people. So at 8 am the baby and I went to my mom's house to find her gazebo. I found it! YEAH Well when I got home to put it up that was a chore. Needless to say James was walking around the backyard eating dirt while James and I put it up. By the time the party really got started it was up correct thanks to Uncle Shelton and the other guys. Greg asked did we read the directions. Of course I did (sort of). James took a little nap during the day, but just a small one. I was surprised that he was not more cranky. He was a good boy. He had tons of fun playing in his backyard with friends and family. The funniest thing was after we sung happy birthday and I gave him his cake, he dug right in! Then I said "James can mommy have some?" He stuck a hand full of cake in my face. It was PRICELESS! The kids had a blast though. The girls really loved the new fad (Zany Bands--bracelets that when you take off are shapes). They played wiffle ball and the pinata. Everyone got a turn to break it but the thing would not break. With 7 kids trying after two turns it finally broke. It was a blast
On another note, James was getting the baby to repeat words. He started with monopoly- Jimmy said nothing. He then said another word nothing from Jimmy. James then said "James say Afghanistan" James said "Afghanistan." My uncle and cousins were crackin' up! I think he was just too tired to know what he was doing.

Friday, April 30, 2010

Pictures

The lady at Target got on my nerves and James' nerves today. She kept calling us "sweetie" and stuff. We were made because they were supposed to have balloons and cupcakes, but did not. I think James felt my vibes and would barely smile. We still got his one year picture taken. He is adorable even with a frown!

Wednesday, April 28, 2010

Roll It

Last night I was putting away some laundry and James is in the babies room with him and I hear James saying "Jen he's rolling it." I'm like what? So after the third time James asks me how long he's been doing this I go in. There is Jimmy rolling his arms! Too cute. I guess he got it from playing patty cake patty cake. I don't know if I've ever seen a 1 year old roll his arms with perfect precision.

Sunday, April 25, 2010

Kisses

James is now able to blow you kisses when you ask him. We say "James blow me a kisses and he will do it." He is almost all walking now it is funny watching him; he looks like Herman Munster!

Saturday, April 24, 2010

Asleep

James was put in his exersaucer this afternoon so I could get a few things done. He was really fussy and complaining so I gave him his pacifier and next thing I know he is asleep. Yes asleep standing up in his exersaucer.

Bath/Cleaning up

I gave James a bath tonight and 3 times he sticks his face in the water. He then pops up and is like "hey I swallowed water" I just laugh at him because he did it again and again. I tell him to stop but he likes it. Swim lessons here we come.

Oh so people do not think James does not listen he absolutely does. If you now ask him to hand you something he will. I tell him "James hand mommy your food" (the food he throws on the floor) he will do it. I make him clean up some of the mess he makes at mom's during the day!

Penn Relays

Friday and Saturday James and I took the train down to the Penn Relays. I think he was thinking what is this I'm on. He was so cute waving to everyone. We were sitting in the stands behind Cherie (watching Brandon run the 4x100) and James was grabbing people as they were walking up the steps. One time he grabbed someone bag and made them stop. All I could do was say "sorry." He had a good time. He took a nap both day! YEAH!!!

Tuesday, April 20, 2010

Tooth/Milk


So, I look at James mouth last night and I see a tooth, but it is on the upper part of his mouth. I though the next teeth he would have would be his front two. I guess not.

I am trying to get James to gain more weight by giving him whole milk. Last night I was giving him some milk and had him drink out of a cup. He ended up with a milk mustache!

Saturday, April 17, 2010

Accident

So James and I were in an accident today when some guy decides to back up, but did not see me. I beeped my horn but needless to say he did not hear me. My back hurts, but James (THANK GOD) is okay.

Saturday, April 10, 2010

Talking to Daddy

It is wonderful that when James was on the phone, Jimmy said "Hi" to him. How adorable.

Friday, April 2, 2010

Easter Eggs
















James had a blast dying Easter eggs. By the end he got the hang of it (just drop the eggs in. I think he would have had more fun just playing with the containers.

Monday, March 29, 2010

Yes

I promise you James is saying yes...But i'm not quite sure!

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

Obama

James and his mom-mom watched history today. They watched President Obama sign the historic health care bill. When President Obama would come on the tv screen James would turn in listen. How adorable!

Saturday, March 20, 2010

Mama

Today, while at mom's house Jimmy said mama!!! YEAH!!!

BYE BYE

We went upstairs this morning to say goodmorning to daddy and James waved bye bye I was so excited.

Friday, March 19, 2010

Steps for mommy

I was so excited when I went to pick James up he took about 5 steps towards me and then about a minute later he took another 3 steps. My baby is walking!

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Magic

So we are at the 76ers game and guess who was there? Magic Johnson one of my favorite basketball players. So, I waited a while and by the time I made my way over he was done sugning autographs. What a bummer! Oh well we had a good time. James kept looking at the sparkling ball on the ceiling of the arena. And the biggest surprise is that we won our Big Mac this time.

Friday, March 12, 2010

Already

So I went out tonight to begin buying things for his birthday. I just have to decide who, what time...oh most of the details.

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Hi

I would promise that James said "Hi" today in the car. He has said it before when he was on the phone with Aunt Jo. I was driving and telling James "Hi James, Hi James" and he said hi!!! Yeah

Tuesday, March 9, 2010

James and I brought Jimmy a slide tonight. He loves the park and so we wanted a little park in our house. The only thing though, I thought the slide was a little deeper, so we can only have it out when we are directly playing with him.

Monday, March 8, 2010

3 steps

So James took 3 steps today. He was home with his father and they were playing and there he went. He stood up took 3 steps and then lost his balance and fell.

Park

Today was James' first day at the park. He went down the slide all by himself. He loved the swing, you should have seen his face. The best part was he went by himself with his daddy.

Everywhere

James threw up everywhere tonight. He loved his dinner, but it never digested and up it came. YEAH ME for the clean up. I love him anyway.

So, James crawled out of his crib tonight. I was in my room reading when I hear a thud. At first I thought it was outside. Then I told Jamese to check on the baby. He was out of his crib. We didn't go to the emergency room or anything. What a kid. I immediatly lowered his crib.

James took a little step this evening. James and I were so surprised. He was standing by himself and then a little step adn then down he went. Oh well little steps before big steps!

TOO much hair/Food



Look at all this hair. Oh my what a job I have to do in re-braiding it.
Tonight was the first night Jimmy ate all table food. Of course he tore it up. He had chicken, mashed potatoes and corn from Boston Market. Sorry no homemade food, and yes I know it's Valentine's Day :-)

MAMA

I promise you James said mama. I don't live in that much of a fantasy world.

Bye Bye

James was saying goodnight to his mom mom and guess what with his left hand he waved bye bye all on his own. YEAH

I don't know what it is, but James now likes to scream. James and I are relaxing at home and all of a sudden Jimmy is in his exersaucer and lifts both arms, makes two fists and screams like someone just scored a touchdown. We both laughed.

SICK

Oh no, James is sick. I had to leave work early today because I wanted to take James to the doctor before the big snow storm. The doctor said there was nothing wrong with his chest or lungs. So we are just watching him, but no temp!!!

9 Month
















So, I need to realize that my baby is not the biggest kid in bunch. His weight was 17-11.4 lbs (9.61 %), his height 27.25" (17.58%) and his head circumference 18.5" (90.59%). He did really well at his appointment, but I'm of course worried about his weight. The doctor said not to worry because his height and weight are proportional. As far as shots he only had a hemoglobin shot in which he passed with flying colors. He is such a big boy. He was able to sit on the scale now!!! Yeah!!!
