James is 11 months old!

James is 11 months old! Man, how time flies. Everyone tells you to enjoy those first few months, because they go by in a flash. Man, were they right. I can't believe in a month we will be celebrating James' first anniversary on this earth.

I don't have additonal pictures, but I want talk about what James is up to so I won't forget.

James LOVES his Daddy. If I get him out of the bed in the morning, as soon as we are in arms reach of him, James is reaching for Daddy. Jay is such a good Daddy. He is so attentive to James and wants to play with him all the time.

James doesn't have any teeth yet, but somehing makes me want to believe that he is cutting them right now. He hasn't been himself lately and I can see the white in his gums. I full expect to go in to get him one morning and there will be teeth cut through! Stayed tuned for details.

James crawls everywhere! At first he crawled with his leg out to the side. We called it his "gimp leg" crawl. He now pretty much crawls everywhere. The cutest thing he does is when it is time for his bath, I go down the hall to his bathroom and I call his name and crawl so fast down the hall for bathtime! I love it!

James also pulls up on a lot of stuff: his high chair, the diaper box, his exercauser, his daddy's leg...he's all over the place. He hasn't really tried to take any steps or anything yet, butI know it's coming in his future.

James doesn't have a whole lot of words yet. He does say dada A LOT! Jay swears he says Ma Ma too, but I haven't heard it. Even yesterday we were in the grocery store and he pointed to a ballon and said "ba". I consider that progress.

The plans are well under way for James' first birthday. Matter of fact, I ordered the invitations today. I can't wait!

A Quick Trip to New Jersey

This past weekend we made a trip to New Jersey for our Neice, Abigail and our Nephew, Christopher's First Communion. We were also able to celebrate Jay's dad's 70th birthday. It was a very busy that even included a trip to the ER for James. He had a really high fever and we couldn't seem to keep it down and we were well over 24 hours.

Here are some pictures from the weekend.
