James' First Girlfriends

I am so glad that some of my friends have babies too. We had lunch with Kara and Addison on Wednesday. Addi is 2 and very cute, she was more interested in playing with Jax than James though :-) Today we went and saw Lacey and her new baby Audrina. She was born on the 19th and is 6 lbs-ish so she is just a peanut. Lacey is doing awesome as a new mom. James looked positively enormous compared to Audrina, it is hard to believe how much he has grown these last 3 months! Lacey and I have gone through kindergarten-college together, got engaged and married around the same time and now are moms together, I love it! Holland will also be having a baby girl in April, and if my hunch is correct, Lunchmeat will also be a girl, so between all those girls and Taylor Kate, James will be surrounded!

3 Months Today!

As you can see, James is pretty thrilled to be 3 months old. He has now doubled his birth weight and we are guessing he is just about 10 lbs today! He is still sleeping great and most of the time just wakes up once a night to eat. Knock on wood, we hope his great sleep habits continue! We are going up to Ft Collins this weekend for Taylor's 1st birthday so we will post pictures from the party when we get back!

I love our camera!

I can't get enough of our camera (thanks dad!). I wish our house had more natural light so that I could get some better shots. Right now the best I can do is in our bedroom for about an hour in the morning. This morning James was loving laying in the sun on the bed in just his diaper. He has such big, blue eyes. Everyone is now saying that he looks just like me, but I don't see it. Lately I have been thinking that he looks freakishly like Jenny did in baby pictures. He is getting so big, we can hardly believe it. He is changing so much everyday. He is starting to hold his head up a lot better, but not great. I guess it has to be hard with such a giant head :-) And he is still all smiles in the morning when he wakes up and we sing him his good morning song, but he immediately stops smiling when he sees the camera. We haven't gotten a good smile on camera since Christmas. Oh well, he is still pretty cute even when he is Mr. Serious.

Finally getting chunky!

Yay, James is finally getting chunky and really starting to pack on the pounds! He is 9 1/2 lbs now, and is eating like a champ! We are very happy to see some chunk on his legs instead of baggy skin! He still has a while to go before he will fit into his baby legs or compete with his cousin Taylor's chunky monkey legs though. James is also starting to outgrow all his newborn clothes, so he can pass them all on to Lunchmeat when we go to San Diego in February for Jenny's baby shower. We will post again next week when baby James turns 3 months old!

Happy New Year!

2007 was a perfect year for us, and we are looking forward to watching James change and grow in 2008! We rung in the new year up in Silverthorne at the Nichols' cabin. It snowed a TON and we had a lot of fun relaxing by the fire and staying warm. Taylor and James had to put on their snowsuits once so we could snap a few pictures. They were pretty thrilled.

James has grown so much lately, he looks bigger to us each day. He seems to have really gone on a growth spurt since Christmas. He outgrew all his preemie clothes, and has only been in newborn clothes 2 weeks and seems to be getting to long for those too! We are guessing he is over 9 lbs now, he was 8 lbs 8 oz at his appt on the 26th. He got some vaccines at that appt as well and hardly cried. He was much more vocal that evening when we clipped his nails for the first time and got a little piece of skin :-( I don't know who was more traumatized by that expereince. We will stick to biting and tearing off his nails from now on. We are not a fan of the nail trimmers anymore.
