8 Months Old!

Somehow sweet baby James turned 8 months old. He is sweet and laid back for the most part. He loves his big brother and big brother loves him a little too much at times. James has the best cheeks ever! Can't not even begin to tell you how many comments we receive on a daily basis regarding those things :) Lately James has been:

-Not happy about sitting in one place. This kid wants to crawl something awful! If he could just get that food out of the way! 

-Big :) he wears size 4 diapers and 18 month clothes. He can still wear 12 month, but 18 is preferred.

-saying mama! He officially says mama and knows what it means and who I am. We have heard da a few times but not enough to count ;)

-on his 4th round of ear infections :( 

-has 3 teeth! Chomp Chomp!

I mean have you seen a more handsome little man?? 

Christmas 2013

What is it about "babies first Christmas" that makes it a little more exciting? On Nolan's first Christmas he was a wee little thing...almost 4 months old. At almost 8 months, James was so much more aware of everything! He loved the tree so much that I had to put all of the ornaments at the top.  He thought the wrapped presents were awesome. So much so that he picked all the bows off of the ones he could reach from his walker :)  Our elf, Clyde, made the month of December especially fun! He hid all over the house, but I think Nolan's favorite spot to find him was in the tissue box (he pulled all the tissue out and threw them on the tree).  I snapped some pics with my phone, but most are on my camera. These few will have to do for now :)

The Texas crew arrived on Monday night just in time to look after James while we went to church. Unfortunately, James had another round of double ear infections :( 

We had fun in Pam's on Christmas Eve! Nolan was so excited that Santa was coming! 

In true Christmas morning fashion, I had to wake both boys up to see what Santa had brought! Don't you love your cute pajamas? Mommy and daddy tradition of new pajamas on Christmas Eve :) It seemed to be that Nolan's four-year-old Christmas was a Christmas full of superheroes. James loves his play door! 

Such a wonderful Christmas with two super sweet  boys! 

Catch Up

Since it has been a hot minute since I have updated, I thought I would do a "catch up" post. Here it goes!

Nolan went to see Dr. Tabor! He was perfect at his first dentist visit :)

I turned 31 and James made me a happy birthday sign. This also marked the first time that I left baby James. Nolan and I headed to TX for Uncle Garrett's wedding weekend. It was fun and hectic so it was best that James stayed behind with daddy.

Batman and Robin had a fabulous Halloween! We had ourselves a wicked Halloween storm, but thankfully it ended in time for trick-or-treat!

We spent Thanksgiving at grandma's house! James was wonderful on his first plane ride there on the way back though it was a different story! Poor James got terribly sick while we were there and had to go to the urgent care.  Luckily, it was only silly infections.  You can imagine what a plane ride will do to an air infection :(

Blogger App = Wowzers!

Testing this little Blogger app! Two reasons my blog has slowed to a halt: 1. Too hard to upload pics to website from my phone 2. Too time consuming with two boys and working full time to mess with the website. If this app works like they say, then I will have died and gone to Heaven! Here it goes!!!
