A Tale of Two Foods

It was the best of times; it was the worst of times....

Butternut Squash

Peas

6 Month Check Up

James had his 6 month check up yesterday and all is well! He weighs 17lbs., 14 oz. (50th percentile) and is 27 ¼” in length (75th percentile). We are so excited about all the new things we can do these days. He is now crawling forward (slowly but surely) and sitting up for good periods of time. We’ve also had to lower his mattress; he is trying hard to stand up! (Scary!) He loves being outside and is fascinated by the wind blowing things. Below are a few recent pics. Life is Good!

Pears

Avocado (the worst faces yet) :-)

What a great weekend! 

Ready, Set, Go!

James has started crawling backwards; soon he'll be everywhere!

Growing Up Fast!

James has been sitting up for about 2 weeks now. He still takes a little tumble when reaching for toys too far away, but overall is sitting up like a big boy! James also tried his first vegetable, sweet potato! He ate about a tbsp with a confused look like "this isn't cereal," then made a gagging sound followed by the disgusted faces. We're going to move on to another vegetable.  After 2 weeks, he's had quite enough sweet potatoes.  I, on the other hand, think his sweet potatoes are pretty good! :-)

Friday-Beautiful Weather!!!

Friday was such a beautiful day James and I had to get out! We went by Daddy's Ashdown Office and James flirted with all the girls. Check out his shirt...free advertising! :-)

Then it was off to Grandmother's house where James enjoyed his first big kid swing!

All in a Day's Work

James and I are having lots of fun each day playing, eating cereal, and running the occasional errand. He falls asleep every time in Target, but likes to look around in the grocery store. He enjoys when we dance to “Getting Jiggy With It” and loves “playing catch” with Daddy. Today as we played, James got on all fours. I think we’ll have a crawler very soon. Although I was not quick enough to capture it on film, I hope you'll enjoy these shots. James also loves watching Super Why on PBS. He smiles really big every time "Wyatt, aka, Super Why" talks. It is SUPER CUTE!!!
