This month has flown by.. as always. It is hard to believe that James is now 6 months old! Life has been busy but great; James has been busy being adorable and growing before our eyes. Here are some pictures of what's been going on:
James playing with our sweet neighbor, Eli
Eli loves "Baby James." It is so sweet to hear him say his name!
Little stinker
James and Jewels
Loves his monster pajamas!
Just hanging around
Watching the Ole Miss game
This picture was taken to prove that James is not always completely happy. He gets mad when you try to make him crawl.. sigh.. we are working on it
Chillin' in his chair
Doing the splits
I have a little too much fun with snapchat sometimes
Sweet baby boy
Loves his jumper
His first time to wear shoes, and he loved them!
No caption necessary
James loves his "dada"
Happy baby in his pajamas
We went to Jonesboro for the weekend, and we got to see a lot of wonderful people! James loves his Aunt MaryAnn
James and his Mimi
Uncle Ben and James
"Mia" and James
It's always so nice when we can all get together!
James got to sit up in the grocery cart all by himself, and he was the star of Kroger. He loved looking at everything and tried to grab anything within his reach. He made lots of friends that day :)
Preacher James
Here is the official 6 month picture! Here is what he is doing now:
Babbling and saying "dada" and "hey" (but it sounds more like "A" as in the letter)
Sitting up by himself with some assistance (so he doesn't hit his head if he falls backwards)
Can stand up when you hold on to his fingers and he looks very proud of himself
Weighs almost 17 pounds and is 27 inches long. His weight percentile has increased and his height percentile shot up in the last two months! Looks like he may take after his daddy!
He loves to eat, and he especially loves squash and green beans baby food.
Loves attention and will fuss until you look and talk to him (We've created a monster- a cute monster though!)
Loves to be sung to, and he especially loves "5 Little Monkeys" and "The Wheels on the Bus"
He loves to jump in his "Johnny Jump-Up" and he has gotten quite good at it
Still loves to go outside and puts everything in his mouth. (I keep expecting teeth any day now)
He is very social and smiles at anyone and everyone!
As you can tell, we are very proud and slightly obsessed :)
Our sweet neighbors, Eli and Jewels, gave us their exersaucer that they outgrew, and James thinks its wonderful (and Mommy does too).
We went and picked out pumpkins here in North Augusta:
It's pretty crazy that it was about this time last year that we told everyone about our little pumpkin that we would be adding to our patch.. and now we have our wonderful pumpkin!
In the waiting room for our 6 month check-up. I meant to get a picture of James getting weighed and measured but he was throwing a fit.. so we had to go fast. Oh well.
Uncle Gary and Aunt Laury came to visit us and see James. It was so great to see them!
And that brings us up-to-date to today where James is twenty-seven weeks old! Hard to believe our little baby is growing up so fast, but it has been a blast. Each developmental milestone is so fun, and I find myself thinking that I love each month better than the last. I think they are all wonderful honestly, and I am just trying to enjoy each moment as they come. He is such a blessing, and it's hard to remember what life was like without James.
