Too Big!!

James is now in a big boy car seat. At his 6 month check up he measured too long for his infant car seat, so we are now onto the next one. James really didnt like it at first but every car ride is getting better! He is discovering that he can play better with his toys and see alot more in the car seat too!

I love tractors!!

Thanks to Ashley a coworker of mine and her husband Derek James is in love with his tractor that they got him when he was born. He knows to place the farmer and the animals all in the right spots and pulls n pushes the tractor back in forth as it sings the farmer and the dell. He is so cute n fun to watch him play with his toys :)

Almost!!

James has been working really hard on trying to sit up by himself. He is getting better & better everyday!

6 Month Check Up

James had his 6 month check up today, it went really well. James weighed in at 19 lbs and was 28 1/2 inches long, so he gained a couple pounds and grew a hole inch :) He is 75% in weight & 97% in height, because he is so long he is acually under weight for his height. James is offically a crawler now and into EVERYTHING!! He is into Gerber 2nd foods and loves to eat solids more than his formula. He is eating rice cereal & gerber 2nd a couple times a day and only really wants a bottle right in the morning and right before bed. Which Dr. Strang said is totally normal and ok for his size. Dr. Strang was really impressed with how strong his legs were and that he was crawling, he said that James will pry be sitting up by himself in the next couple weeks. Dr. Strang said that James'  physical development is measuring as a 8 month old not a 6 month old.  Our next new thing is the sippy cup, we started that tonight and James doesnt seem to mind it. He just looked at it and talked to it for a mintue or two and than just started to drink it :) Enjoy the photos below, James has become such a poser now when I take pictures :)

Best $4.00 Investment!!

So James & I ventured out to Target this afternoon to get some stuff that we have been needing. I needed to get James some more bibs so we were in the baby section and I notice these sunglasses and I thought aww how cute, thinking that James will never let me put these on him. After getting more stuff in the store and James chewing on them through out the entire store, we got home and put them on him and he loves them!! We will have to wait and see if he will acually wear them in the car though :)

Great Grandma Ginny

We went and visited Don's grandma today in Indianola. Her health is going down hill fast and really has been asking for us to bring him down to see her. The last time that Grandma Ginny had seen James was at Christmas so she was pretty impressed at how big he is and how active he is. It was great to hear her laugh at James and see a smile on her face. It is really hard to see someone that you love struggling, but we know that we will see Grandma Ginny again, and we are just thankful & are enjoying the time that we have with her now!! :)

Surprise, Surprise!!

All of us kids/grandkids on my side of the family surprised my mom with all of us coming home for the weekend. James had a blast since his cousin Lincoln is around his age and Seth his other cousin love to push James around in his rig!
