15 Month Check-Up

We had James' 15 month check up today. He weighed in at 27 lbs & was 32 inches long. Which puts him in 75% for both height & weight. He really didn't grow or gain much from his 12 month check-up but I guess that is normal since they grow so much the first year! We got the ok to start James on a multi-vitamin which he loves and wants several of them at one time :) James got 4 shots including his last shot for the flu vaccine. He is right on track as far as eating, talking, walking & running!! Dr. Strang was impressed by how well he listened to me when we were there. James seems to understand than when we start counting 1,2,3 we mean business and he stops. :) I can not believe that my little baby is 15 months old already. I looked at Don tonight and told him that I dont want James to get any bigger or grow up!! It has gone by so fast already!! I am looking forward to having a short work week & having 5 days off work for Thanksgiving to spend time with my boys!!!

Battle of the Will's!!

Well it is safe to say that James is forsure my child! These past few weeks he has really started to test the limits with us. When we tell him no he edges closer & closer to the object (aka the blinds) and smiles. I am remembering back to the days when my parents would say someday your going to have a child just like you. well you guys are right. Instead of being frustrated with him we are just thankful that God has given us a healthy baby that can cry, talk & eat on his own!! As you can see in the photo below he is becoming more independent everyday!! I love James more & more everyday & we still get excited everytime he wakes up from his nap. In case you have never seen it, when we hear him wake up with both fight to get to the door first to get him! He is a real blessing that we were not sure that God was ever going to bless us with!!

Most Wonderful Time of Year!!!

Yes, the Christmas tree is up at the Sharr household!! We debated weather or not to put one up because of James and trying to sell the place, but since we have had 6 people look at it and no offers I decided I am going to keep on living and put up the tree!!  James has done very well with it up. He was very interested in it as we were putting it together and the lights of course but after his nap he seems to have forgotten about it. We only put the ornaments up top just in case though :)

It was great to be able to spend the day with Don & James for Vetern's Day. I am very thankful for the men & woman that fight for us everyday. I think & pray for my friend Michelle everyday & her husband who is fighting over in Afghanistan. Geoff had to leave his wife & their 1 year old little girl Chloe to fight for our freedom!! I can not every try to understand how it must feel to leave your family or have your loved one leave for a year. So thanks Mosby family. We love you and pray for Geoff's safety daily & strength for you too Michelle!! :)
