Oh Christmas Tree

We finally went to get our tree! I was sad there was no snow, but it was really cold outside!!









We also tried out his new car seat...

Playing with Kambree

James and I had the pleasure of watching our friends Kambree and Maely. Kambree had fun playing peek-a-boo with James.









And Maely just sat there!

10 Months Old

I can't believe how big his has grown! He is so mobile, I blame Sage. He now literally runs around the house with Sage. He is a very busy body! He loves trying to eat anything we are eating. The only thing so far that is not a favorite is a baked potato, but we will try again. He loves playing ball with Sage in the house. James will find her a ball and run to give it to her. He has become more "snuggley" if we sit on the floor he will run to us and lay on us (only for a moment). He loves being "chased" around or even scared (our version of peek-a-boo/ hide-n-go-seek). It is just to hard to describe how cute and fun James is at the time. The pictures will just have to do it for me...

New Trick

James has learned what I would classify as a "new trick"...He might tell you its a "necessary skill"

Priceless

This is a gem from today:

(note: Sage is in the hallway and James is in our front bedroom)

Kitchen Playground

This is what my kitchen looks like right now, and at least twice a day...



This is how he does it...



Oh and this is our new hiding placing. Playing with the wires behind the couch.

9 Months Old!

James is 9 months old. He is growing up so fast. It is a blast to watch his little mind work trying to figure things out. We go to the doctor on Monday, I will post his stats then. Well James is starting to walk. So far he has taken 8 steps by himself. I now find all my pots and pans in the living room and down the hall. He is really good at getting into everything. He is starting to eat a little bit of what we eat. Yes he did get a little piece of candy at Halloween. I think he will have a sweet tooth like his dad! Sage is still teaching him bad habits, like sitting and staring at us while we eat. He loves playing at the back door, especially while Sage is outside looking in.

James is a joy and we are so blessed to have him in our lives! Oh and we know he loves us back because he now sleeps from 8-7:30 ish. LOVE IT!







Yes he is walking!

James and Fall leaves

We decided to spend one last weekend doing yard work. Dad was so nice to make us this pile of leaves that we got to play in. It took a few minutes to realize that we could play, once he got the hang of it he loved it!!

Halloween

For those of you who guessed James was a bear! He was the bear that dad did not get this year :(
James hated the hat, and luckily only wore it for a short time.

Sneak Peak

Here is just a little preview of what Halloween will be like..



Any guesses?

Fall

I love this time of year. I love how the colors change and the temperatures drop a little bit. I tried again to take a few pictures of James and I enjoy it out front. This is the best I could do

8 Months Old

8 Months!!! I will say we did a lot better taking pictures this time around. We love our little boy! By this date we have 2 teeth, and can stay standing by ourselves for a few seconds. When he falls down, he has the biggest smile on his face.





Standing up all by ourselves!!



And of course playing right next to our dog

Conference Weekend

Conference Weekend James and I went down to my parents house. Jon and my Dad went hunting. James did pretty good. He did really good at distracting us :) He had a blast just playing around











We also took him to the park. It was his first time in the swing, and he loved it!!! Thanks Grandma for taking us out!











Also we found this firetruck in Monument and wanted a picture taken



P.S we do not have pictures but he broke his 2nd tooth this weekend!!
