Just Rolling Along

We have big news at our house this week: James is rolling over both ways! 

Here is proof:

James has also started doing a funny squeal/screech:

This is what a typical "photo shoot" looks like:

And unfortunately, James has found his thumb :( 

That thumb is going to be the death of me.. I just know it. 

He is sitting up in his stroller, front-facing- like a big boy!

In other news, our air conditioning unit totally went kaput. Yes. Kaput. In this heat of 100+ degrees every single day. At one point, our unit was reading that our house was 89 degrees. 89 degrees- inside our house. I was not a happy camper. Side note: It is very hard to sleep when you are sweating and you are worried that your baby is too hot. Anyway... Luckily, we were able to buy a very expensive new unit and have it installed within a few days. Yes- a few days, and I was told that I was lucky that it wasn't more. But we were given a window unit to use in the meantime, so we weren't completely miserable. I have come to completely appreciate the power of electricity and air conditioning- no matter the cost. I really don't know how people used to do it back before these things were invented. Yikes. 

James was over the heat and being cooped-up inside our bedroom. This just goes to show that James is cute even when he cries. 

"Look. Stop taking my picture, alright?"

Ryan has been very busy working long hours in the ICU, and I start work next week. It has been such a huge blessing that my job allows me to take off as long as I need for maternity leave, and that I can work from home while dictating how many hours I want to work. Thankfully, I will ease back into it part-time and see how it goes. James has 2 very amazing grandmothers that are coming to help me out until his Mother's Morning Out program starts in September. I will keep everyone posted! Have a great rest-of-the-week!
