Outside Fun & More! :o)

James LOVES the playground by our apartment! He climbs up the ramp and goes through the tunnel, steers the steering wheel, then goes down the slide, and then climbs back up the slide and does everything else again! :o) The only thing he needs assistance on is going down the slide, he gets onto his bum by himself and then waits for us to hold him as he goes down, but he just heads to whatever he wants whenever he wants! He is a much happier boy being mobile! :o)
Bathtime is so much fun, and its become more fun since mom started adding suds!!!! James eats 'em! I put them on his head, but he had made himself a goatie with them, although its not as obvious in these photos as I would've liked. :o(


Too close for a flash! :o) Brady is sportin' his new, shorter doo, thanks to my mom! :o)
They were watching "VeggieTales" together, and James was perfectly content just sitting on Dave's lap (amazing!) and they just looked so cute, I couldn't resist! :o)

I just wanted to add another belly shot! Hee hee! :o) Jordyn still moves all the time and I've been getting false contractions here and there, although I don't recall getting those until way later on when I was preg with Jay, so its kind of interesting to notice differences this time around. At the ultrasound the lady said she was in breech position, which obviously does not concern them at this point, but I'm still doing my exercises to help flip her! :o) I don't want ANY complications! :o)
James has turned into quite the little social one! At church he accidently launched one of his cars to a cute little baby girl that was playing on the floor in the row ahead of us, and he started to crawl over to her, but we got him to come back. But then later he proceeded to crawl all the way over to her, and when she offered him the box of tic-tacs she was playing with, James opened up and stuck out his tongue! Ha ha ha! :o) It was very cute to see him so interested in playing with her! And later on, he crawled over to play with a little boy in the lobby, but the boy wasn't as interested in playing with Jay. Oh well! Stick to girls, bud! :o)
A while ago, James stood up all by himself without the assistance of any furniture or anything, and we were so amazed, but we hadn't seen him do it again for a little while, but now he practices all the time! He'll be crawling along, and then he'll stop and stand up and get all excited and then lower himself back down and take off again! Its so funny! :o) We think he might be close to taking those first steps! He is very talkative and screams playfully a lot! His new favorite movie is Shrek! He laughs and smiles, and anticipates something thats coming up that he likes, its hilarious to watch him when he's watching it! :o) He is pretty good about not getting into stuff, we really just have trouble keeping him from pounding on the TV! But I feel bad, cause he's just trying to grab Shrek's nose! I don't think it has anything to do with the TV itself. Cause he doesn't care when its turned off, or I'm watching something uninteresting to him. So, we are struggling to help him understand, although its hard because he is still just a baby. :o)
