10 Months 5 Days -Day after Christmas!

Grandma brought her laptop so I was able to download all our pictures and use her computer to post pictures for everyone!
Christmas was wonderful, James opened toys and played till he cried because he was late for his nap. I am so thankful for our family and friends for making this the best Christmas ever!


Chewing on one of my new fridge magnet toys.

My new train- it moves all by it's self.

Merry Christmas!


Like my Santa hat?

I don't wanna get out of the swing even when I'm so tired.


Hey, where's the dish washer?

Thank you Bonnie and Jess for the swing, I love it!!!!


My new jammies. See how well I stand!


Uncle Brett's deer.


Thanksgiving day. We are going to eat what?


Playing in a box...what fun!


My little Guitar Hero!


James loved helping Grandma with the dishes!


Grandpa was going to sneak James into the woods first day of deer season.


James and Boone- remember when Boone was bigger than James!

10 Months

James went to see Santa yesterday. Coventry mall had the best Santa- he might have even been the real one all the way from the North Pole! James sat quietly looking around at everyone he never cried but we couldn't get him to crack a smile either. The pics look cute anyway! We are all ready for Christmas now, the cookies have been baked the presents made and it doesn't get much whiter outside! Grandma and Grandpa are coming tomorrow and we can't wait! This is going to be the best Christmas ever.

While I am on Christmas break -short as it is- I will go to Walmart and put all our pictures on a disk so I can get them on Snapfish and then...on the blog! Our present to all of you will be two months worth of James!

Merry Christmas everyone!

9 Months 3 Weeks 3 Days

James is feeling much better now. He had no problems with the antibiotic and since we caught it early he didn't have much trouble with his ears. He was a little clingy over the weekend and couldn't sleep in his crib or lay flat but I think I was really lucky that he was still so good!
I am trying to find a way to get pics up but as it stands now the computer will not accept Kodak software. I hope I can get pics uploaded to Snapfish somehow and then put on the blog. I think when I finally get it done y'all will get about 50 pictures to admire!

9 Months 2 Weeks 6 Days

James spiked a temp this morning so I took him to the doctor at 11, he has his first ear infection. It's in both ears but Doc said it isn't too bad. Started his first antibiotics. So far he is doing pretty well.

9 Months 2 Weeks

So Sorry I haven't posted. The computer is still not working -some kind a virus that only affected my Kodak files. Don't know how that can happen but I still have Jim on the job. He keeps trying to get it fixed, I don't know what to do if I can't get my pictures!!!
Thanksgiving was good. I was very glad to have my family together for dinner. Hunting at Mom and Dad's was great! Brett was the only one to get a deer but we had a great time anyway. James learned to wave and clap and he helped with the dishes every night. He loved playing with the dishwasher! James is so spoiled right now- I think daycare is going to have a lot of fun this week!

8 Months 4 Weeks

Sorry I haven't posted in a while I haven't been feeling well. I wanted to post pics from last weekend at Mom and Dad's but again the computer isn't cooperating. Jim needs to reinstall the software for the camera so I can download the pictures. I promise I will post as soon as he does it!
James is doing well- he has his 9 month check up tonight so we'll see how big he has gotten!

7 Months 1 Week

Well it's been really busy around here! Brett and Sheri's wedding last week was great! James was so good all day- he never fussed at all. We didn't get many pictures this week, we were to busy taking video of James as he has started to crawl! Jim will need to help me download the video so I can post it for you. Here are a couple of pics of James and Daddy, Jim said he looks so grow up and this outfit. We weighed and measured James at home yesterday, he is about 20lbs and 27 1/2 inches-So Big!

6 Months 4 Weeks

James was feeling better yesterday so we went to the Oley Fair and walked around. James liked looking at the animals- of course I wouldn't let him touch them. (E. Coli?- no thank you!) He was tired when we left! James eating his first pizza- just the crust but he loved chewing it. Daddy also gave him a french fry at the fair.

Just being silly in the basket of Daddy's clean clothes.
Well, James will be 7 months old tomorrow, time is really flying! Next week Uncle Brett is getting married- next thing you know his baby will be 7 months old....where does the time go?

6 Months 3 Weeks

Another week bites the dust... James is home early today with a slight fever. He doesn't seem to feel too bad but since Jim and I were in the past week I'm guessing he has what we did. Somehow he's still smiling! Here are your weekly pictures...

James is a little young but loves the sit 'n' spin!

6 Months 2 Weeks

Labor day weekend was a blast! We went up to Mom and Dad's along with Brett, Sheri, Katelyn, Kasey and Keyden. It was a bit hectic since we aren't used to so many children being around but we had a great time. This week has been so busy I haven't had time to blog at home and add the pictures we took- luckily I have some down time at work today and Gina posted some pics Ryan took of James with Greg's dog at Fran and Emily's house. I will add more pics this weekend when I get a minute to sit down at the computer.

6 months 1 week

We had a good weekend! Melanie's on Saturday for a picnic and James went in the pool -LOVED IT! Sunday we strolled around the mall. Of course I forgot to take the camera Saturday so no pictures to show, but I did get the disk from Jennifer and here are some of James' 6 month pictures. We can't wait to got to the Mountains this weekend- definitely won't forget the camera again!

6 months

James had his 6 month check up tonight - 18lb 10oz (70th percentile), 26 1/2 inches (50th percentile) head circumference 17 inches (30th percentile) and Dr. Reinold says he looks great!
Here are some really cool pictures. My friend Jennifer Mack came over Saturday to do James' 6 month photo shoot and she did an awesome job! We have a couple printed and she is working on a disk for me.

These are just my photos- see how well he sits by himself!
