4 months old


It's hard to believe this little guy is now four months old. He now weighs 14 lbs 17oz and is 25in long. Being his mom is the best thing in the world. Every day he grows a little more and does something new, but there are also things that he continues to do every day. 

He hated doing tummy time for quite a while and now he's starting to really like it. Just last month we would be lucky to get 5 minutes of tummy time out of this guy, but now he'll play happily on his tummy for 20-30 minutes.

He'll roll from his back to his front, and from his front to his back but never in one specific direction. Instead he'll just spin towards the object he wants.
Here he was trying to get to his keys and finally pooped out. Only seconds after this picture he made mommy very aware of how much he was done with tummy time.

Another solid favorite to this day it the floor gym. He loves to take the rings and pull the entire arch towards himself. We also spend a good part of the day listening to the disney station on pandora. He loves it when mommy sings along with the song to him.

A new favorite activity is the Johnny Jump Up. This is the same one that I and my siblings used when we were babies. My father refers to it as the best babysitter ever. Sean refers to it as "The Impailer" because he hangs from a giant metal spring that is attached to the ceiling by a hook.


Another fantastic use that I have found for the Johnny Jump Up. Is taking a toy of his and attaching it to a string and tying that to the bar on the Jump Up. we'll swing the toy back and forth or spin it. He loves it when we attach his keys because he can grab them and pull them down.
He has lots of toys but many of them are Pooh. The big stuffed Pooh bear that was once my mothers is his favorite. This is a picture of the first time he saw his big Pooh bear.
Also I have to point out this onsize that my sister-in-law made for me. It's one of my very favorites. 

And also to this day he still loves to be swaddled when he goes to bed.

James months 2 & 3

So I know I've been bad at posting pictures of James so here is a photo dump of some of the pictures of James until he turned three months old.
In case you can't tell the shirt says "help the nurse"
Apparently I say that a lot.

James never sleeps on mom, it's always dad because he has a nice flat surface.

I know that James looks like a creepy plastic doll in this picture, but it is the only one of him and his cousin.

This was such a fun day, I can't wait to see this cute family again.
We also got to see Music and the Spoken Word on Mothers Day, and see one of my best friends!
I made james go with me on the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 5k.
But some times it's just nice to hang around the house
Thanks to Annicka for letting us borrow this fantastic toy. James still loves it to this day.
Here James is at 3 months old!
When I'm at work and missing my two favorite guys, Sean will send me pictures like this.
I had to take a picture of his wild hair. Some days I just can't tame it
