Getting Ready for Bed

James has had his bath and bottle. Now all that's left is the 'late night' treat with dad. His favorite time of night.

Again with the Box

We get a better view from up here

We Love our Box

We went to Costco this weekend, and therefore came home with another box. James has loved playing with it. Jon and I were having lunch after church and turned around to see him actually in the box. He got in all by himself. He was smart enough to put some toys in the box before he got in :)







This is usually what he does with it

Relaxing

This is how we relax after a long day

11 Months Old

I can not believe that in 1 month my little baby will no longer be a baby. Time is really going to fast. James now believes in running everywhere. His favorite thing to do is a tie between throwing a ball for Sage, or going to get the ball for Sage (after we have thrown it). He now has 4 teeth. 2 on bottom and 2 on top (they are still working their way down). He loves to look at books. He does not like sitting still long enough to read the look, but he likes to flip the pages, and look at the colors. He does like to try new foods, the only thing is he wants to feed himself. If you feed it to him he spits it out. He loves to dance, especially when you sing him a song. At church when the music starts he waves his hand, its so cute! He loves to climb. His new route is: climbing on to the bingbag, then over the armrest on the couch and either tries to go over the back of the couch or gets down to do it again. The other day he did try to reach and go over the other arm rest to get to the end table (it was 2 feet away, he did not make it). He is a very busy baby. He only holds still when he lays on his "softy soft" (and that only last for a moment).

We are truly blessed for all the joy and laughter James brings into our lives. The only thing is I wished he loved us and much as Sage (and I am totally not kidding, he loves his dog)

New Face

James really loves ice cream. He started making this face a few days ago. It seemed that while Jon was eating ice cream, James thought the only way for him to get a bite is if he made this face. We love it when he makes us laugh :)







This one is my favorite ( I am sad that is a little blurry)

Dancing Baby

James is enjoying one of his Christmas presents. He does not sit and watch them. Only when a song comes up, he stops what he is doing and starts dancing.

Makin it look Good

I make Carhartt look good. To bad I can't hold still (cause I am busy lookin' for work :) Thanks G and G Ussery for helping me out!







Disclaimer- we have our binkies today, because we are cutting our second top tooth.

First time with Fudge

His dad really spoils him. BUT he loves it!

Christmas

James first Christmas was a hit! He didn't really play with any of the boxes. He just would not move from toy to toy. Once we got one set up he wanted to sit and play with it. It was a fun and special time for our family. (These pictures are not in any order.)

















(James got a new bath time fountain from Santa)




Jon's favorite gift :)

We hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas as well!!

Sugar Cookies

James wanted to help make sugar cookies with us. So to help us out we place flour in front of him to keep him busy :)

Play Time

Today we learned how to almost climb on the bing bag. Than we gave up and played with Sage :)





Giving Sage her ball



Both watching the ball roll away



The ball is now on the coffee table, but Sage wants to keep playing...



And lastly a few pictures of James!
