Sleeping..

He looks so cute sleeping!!

Lazy Sunday

Jon worked this past Friday and Saturday, which means he was really tired today. We know Sunday is a "day of rest" but today we took that literally. As seen below...



While we stopped in Boise Laura gave us a few things for James. One of which was a Bumbo. And yes we know it is purple and yes we do not care! We figure in a few weeks James will be living in it. He can hold up his head, but not for a long time and he still sways from side to side. Once he gets just a little bit stronger we will let him use it. But today we just wanted to try it out.







We have tried to get a picture like this for a long time. Sage just does not want to sit still long enough. Well today we got one!! And a cute one to add. In a few years I see these two being best friends :)

Bath Time

James loves Bath time. It helps him sleep so well that for our nighttime routine it starts with a bath. He loves just laying there, kicking his feet. This has started being father and son time, it is a special time for daddy and him.

1st Vacation

Every year for spring break my mother heads over to Burley Idaho to visit her parents. This year James and I decided to tag along. I wanted him to meet my grandparents, his great grandparents and some other family we have in the area including my sister. It is about a 9 hour car ride from our house. One the way over James slept the whole time, except for when we stopped and feed him. The next day however was an adjustment for him. We had fun visiting with everyone. I thought James did pretty well. We were out of our routine and he was not used to so much noise, but was generally a happy baby.

While we were there his lovely aunt Megan gave him a nickname...Worm. Now why she chose worm I am not entirely sure, and whether that is a good thing or not I do not know. On Monday night my grandparents ward has FHE for empty nesters, and this month it was at there house. It was so cute to see all these other grandparents holding James and giving him attention. And I know he loved it!

My Aunt Trina and some of her kids watched James for a few hours one day. I guess the kids were literally fighting before we got there. They all wanted to hold James first. I think after that afternoon he is grateful our house is a little quieter. We don't have 6 kids at home.

On the way home we made a quick stop into Boise so that Jon's sister Laura could see him. He enjoyed the break from the car, and did not want to get back in. It took about an hour for him to settle back down and go back to sleep.

All-in-all James was loved by so many in a short amount of time I think it overwhelmed he. But again he did really good for his first trip. I was happy for the chance to take him over and let everyone see him.



Funny story with this picture. This is my Uncle Brent. He did not want James to spit up on him. Well my mother was sitting next to him trying to burp James. Sometimes it takes James a few minutes for the burp to come. Well after about a minute my uncle took him to show her how it was done. On the 3 pat on his back a BIG Burp came, and an even bigger smile came to Brents face.

Visit from Grandpa and Grandma Revo

Jon's parents came up for a few days for James blessing. We were so excited that they could make it. We had a lot of fun while they were here. James could not get enough of them. It was sad when they had to go. Hopefully it wont be too long before we see them again.







We were also pretty excited that Jon's brother Nathan could come us as well. And that he wanted us to meet his special friend. She is amazing and blended in with the family!

Blessing Day

Today was so special! I hate to say it but, I have never been so touched from a baby blessing. And I totally know it was because it was my own child. We were lucky that some family was able to come up and enjoy this day with us. James did not get a good nap during the morning, which caused me to be worried about the blessing. He was an angel during the whole thing. I will add Jon did a great job, and I will always remember this day!

Can't help myself

Today I was trying to get a few things...but I kept getting distracted by my little man. I laid him on our bed and he was just looking around. I than decided to take a picture and send to Jon. Since Jon works long hours he only gets a couple in the evenings, so during the day I try and send him a couple. But James is just so darn cute I have to share with you guys. (notice I did take these with my phone, hence the bad quality.)

This is the one I sent Jon



Right after I sent that one he made this face. Which he does a lot. He is always so serious...



And than Sage found us, and wanted in the picture as well.




I love those little moments, but I can't wait til he is personality really comes in!

1 Month!

I can not believe that James is already 1 month old!! He is growing so big and fast. I know everyone says time flies, but it really does. It gets hard watching him grow, during the day I just want to sit and hold him. I have to remind myself that he needs to learn to sleep by himself and I still have to try to attempt to keep the house clean. We are loving every minute with him (yes including the nights). We are so lucky and blessed to have him with us!!

Happy Birthday!!

Sage turned 1 today!! We did not really do anything to celebrate. She got a new "special" bone and a new toy. To note she does not get toys a lot cause she destroys them in 5 minutes. But still it is a date to celebrate...we are almost out of the 'puppy years'!!







We are still happy that Sage is in our lives. She keeps us active and brings a lot of laughs in the house!
