Day of Fun!

Today was a wonderful day. The only thing that would have made it better, is if it had snowed. We started off seeing Santa. James did not like it, Millie could have cared less. After wards we enjoyed some long naps (most favorite part of the day :) Then we were off to the reindeer. This local company brings two in for the month of December. James loved pointing out the "deer". The day ended with an extra long bath. Both kids get upset when you take them out. They are both "water babies"

Inside they had a coil pond

Don't you wish you had a large dog (that cost $400)

They love taking baths together

O Christmas Tree

These two love looking at the tree. Millie gets frustrated because she can not stand up by herself to look at it. But that say will come soon enough. 

Millie is 6 months old

Millie is at the wonderful age of 6 months. She loves rolling around, eating food, talking/screaming. She is getting really good at sitting up. She can get up on all four and rock, but not yet crawl. She gets really frustrated at it. She has 2 teeth now. James still loves to play with her, and steal her binky. I think we will keep her around a while.

James just had to get in on one picture

Togetherness

We had fun today playing in James room. Now that Millie can sit up pretty good by herself, that is all she wants to do :)

Make a better day...

Do you wanna know how to make your day better?? After all the crying and fits, this is what you do... 

Play Group

What do you do when a friend comes over?? Play in your sister highchair, and walk around awkward places while eating a snack. These two are like best friends... 

My Lovely's

James took a long nap, like 3 hours. Usually he does not wake up happy when he does this. 

Today was a different story. These two are already beginning to be best friends

James is 21 Months

I have stopped taking the monthly pictures of James. I guess I have also stopped doing his monthly updates. It is time I tell you a few things about James. 

1) His vocabulary is bursting at the seams. He is starting to say some pretty funny things. For example

"Die" = bye. He is trying to put words together and form sentences. Just about every morning Sage goes out (right, to do business). As soon as she comes in James says "poop, Sage". The other day James had a balloon and took it outside, he came running in saying "pop, pop Sage", meaning that Sage popped his balloon. If you don't catch it, James is really good at communicating things about Sage :)

2) He has almost all his teeth. At this moment his top canines are coming in. Besides his 2 year molars, he is only missing 2 on the bottom. 

3) He is not a real picky eater. In fact the other night he would eat what my mom ate, then would get mad that it was all gone. Hopefully he keeps up eating great!

4) He is very much an active boy. He loves jumping around, on things, and off things. He loves to skip (or do his version of it). He loves to kick the balls. He is awesome at throwing and starting to understand how to catch. 

5) He loves his Sissy very much. He is her protector. Anytime someone gets close he gets in between them, and pushes the other person away. He loves waking her up. Making sure she is happy. Will get her anything, even if we do not ask him to :) We are pretty darn lucky that he loves her so much. 

James is a joy, and we are so lucky to have him. He does give us grief some days, but the joy and happiness out number the grief by a land slide. I am so excited to watch him grow up into, hopefully a well behaved young man.

What a Day

We had such a fun and busy day! 

James had to kick Millie out of her Bumbo so that he could sit in it :)

We had Maely over for a bit, snack time

I decided to wash the carpets, so I had to move everything. James loved playing with the frame
