January 18, 2013 - 9 weeks tomorrow!

James is two months old! We are all settling into a little bit more of a routine and life is getting easier week by week. I go back to work next week and am feeling a little nervous about the change (and will miss him!) but I'm sure I will enjoy some time away a few hours a day.

Here's what we've been up to the past two weeks.

WEEK SEVEN
James rolls over! (Surprising both mom and baby)
Play dates with Ruby Burleigh, Ty Ptomey and Braeden Harding
Looking at things more 




WEEK EIGHT

Hung out with dad when mom went to the spa :-)
Had first babysitter, Brittnie Ward, so mom and dad could have a date (slept the whole time)
Slept through the night- 8 hours!!

Smiling a lot and holding head up even more
Rolled over two more times










January 4, 2013 - 7 weeks tomorrow!

It's hard to believe that seven weeks have gone by already. Some days seem to drag by but overall, it feels like time is going by quickly and James is growing so much!

A brief recap of the last seven weeks:

November 16, 2012 - I was induced at 1 pm. Water broken at midnight.
November 17, 2012- James Armagh Cloud was born at 10 am!

 We named James after his grandpa!

November 18, 2012 - We were busy with lots of visitors and felt so blessed to have so many people who love James already! James also had a photo shoot at the hospital and the photos turned out really well. We immediately loved his big eyes! We went home the next day.
