Cloud Family: February 2013

James is so much fun these days! He is really settling into a routine - eating and sleeping on a regular schedule and sleeping longer at nights which means we all wake up happy! He is smiling and laughing a lot and can definitely recognize both of us as he greets us with his gummy smiles. He is grasping onto more things and can grab a toy, which he immediately shoves into his mouth. He's loving putting anything into his mouth, especially his fingers. He impresses us with the amount of fingers he can put in his mouth. He also likes to hold onto a blanket which we think is adorable (though I'm sure it's a habit that later I will wish he didn't have). He has become very chatty the past few weeks and seems to always be talking about something! Overall, he is just a happy, easy-going baby.We are really enjoying getting to know him as his personality starts to develop and look forward to watching him grow.

Here's what we have been up to the past few weeks...

WEEK ELEVEN
James loves being with his cousin Landon and wanted to watch "Blues Clues" with him!
Loves looking in the mirror at himself
Had his first froyo date with mom (too bad he can't eat it yet!)

WEEK TWELVE

Sat in the Bumbo for the first time!

Enjoyed playing with Lucas Hunolt

Loves hanging out with dad while mom got a massage and manicure on her birthday!

Sat through a Valentine's Day photo shoot (slightly interrupted by Landon)

WEEK THIRTEEN

Played with Ruby Burleigh

Met Tucker Godfrey (though he sleeps most of the time!)

First Road Trip - Went to Lynchburg to visit Uncle Michael and Aunt Kathryn (With Aunt Bekah, Landon and Aunt Annalise)

First College visit (We're starting him early!) to Longwood University

WEEK FOURTEEN
(so far)
Met new buddy Ethan Jiang
Went to a baby shower with mom and got to see Ruby and Owen

This past weekend some friends of ours had a baby and we went to visit them at the hospital- they were in the same room that we were with James!! It was a weird feeling to be in that room and just think about how quickly the time has gone by, though sometimes it feels like he has been with us forever! We are loving our time with James as he smiles more and is starting to develop a personality!

Here are a few photos from the last few weeks.

WEEK NINE

James has his two month appointment and weighs 12 lbs, 7 oz. He gets some shots and is not happy.

Mom goes back to work... James is with Mimi on Tuesdays and with Aunt Bekah on Wednesdays and Fridays. Landon comes over on Thursdays! It was hard to leave James but he had a good time.

LOTS of smiling

Slept seven-eight hours three nights in a row!
