The James Show

We can hardly believe how fast James is growing and changing. So here are his newest developments...some of which make us wonder :)

Holds his own bottle!

Easter outfit...thanks to Nate and Renee!

No idea what he is doing.

Maybe thinking about possibly starting to crawl.

A deep talk with dad.

Excersize? Not really sure about this one either.

Megan and James doing a lip buzzing thing.

Good News!

Well, we have some great news! We have been waiting to hear back from Grad schools and we finally got two acceptance letters last week!! (Go Kyle!) One was at James Madison in Virginia, and the other was at University of Louiville in Kentucky. We are still waiting to hear from two more schools, so we don't have any decisions made yet. We are just grateful to know we don't have to use our non-existant backup plans. What a blessing.

James is just about 4 months old now. He continues to grow and to keep our lives fun and interesting! He is talking a lot lately, so we tried to catch it on video. Here are some pictures of our growing boy.

This is what I leave in the morning. :(

Discovered his toes...check out the leg rolls!

This is for my mom...

I know we just posted a video of James laughing, but this one is even better.

Laughing

Lets be honest...James is the most exciting thing in our lives right now so here is him being cute and laughing. He is watching Kyle juggling. We think he is pretty cute. :)

Pictures

We got our first family pictures taken a little while ago, so I thought I would put them up. We love them. They are taken by my good friend Megan, she is amazing! ..here is a link to her site. http://megruth.com/

Two Months and Sleeping!

James (who is pretty much our whole life) is growing so fast! We took him in for his two month check up this week and he weighs 16 lbs!!! That puts him in the 99.7 percentile! He is huge. He has also grown 3 inches since he was born making him 25 inches. He is already wearing some 6 month clothes. We can hardly keep the right size of clothes in his drawers! I think we have gotten over the initial shock of the change in life style now as parents. We have gotten into some routines. One that we can thank James for is our sleeping! He will sleeps through the night! This last week 4 of the nights he slept 8 hours....no one is complaining here!!

I (Tawnya) am back at school teaching, which has been hard. Luckily (counting our blessings) Kyle gets to be Mr. Mom at home and goes to school in the afternoons. He is really loving it. The two of them have bonded:) We are also waiting to hear back from grad schools still. It has been a bit of a test of our faith. Who knows what will happen.

Here are some pictures :)

Sorry about the sideways pictures....:)

One Month!

It is hard to believe that one month has passed since our last entry. Time does fly. What do I say about how wonderfully our lives have changed? James is so fun to have around. I don't think there was anything anybody could have said to prepare us for the 24 hour a day job as parents, it has been quite the change. We love it.

This is how James acts in the middle of the night... It makes us not want to try to make him sleep! we're softies.
