Jamesie's Favorite Toy

James just can't function without his Diet Pepsi. Actually he doesn't care about what's inside, he just loves the outside of this cup! One look at it makes him crack up. He's loved this cup ever since we got it at the fair and he never gets tired of looking at it.

Guess what he's staring at.

Looking at his cup.

All Worn Out

Brrrr

Can you believe how cold it is already? I never thought James would be this bundled up in August.

4 Months!

Look how much he's changed...

Back To School

Tomorrow is my first day back at work. I'm really sad to leave James, but it's definitely time for me to go to work. I am a lot more productive when I am working and these past couple weeks I've started going a little crazy with boredom. James will be going to an in-home daycare. His teacher's name is Julie. Last week James went there in the afternoons while I worked in my classroom for a few hours. He seemed to like Julie but he was an AWFUL napper while he was there. I'm hoping he can learn to take good naps while he's there, otherwise he will be a very tired and cranky little boy. I think the transition is going to be hardest on me (I cried the whole way to school each day when I dropped him off) and Foxy. Fox Fox has gotten very spoiled this summer so she's going to have a hard time readjusting to days by herself.
Today the whole circus went to school to help me get my classroom ready. Tom was very helpful-he hooked up my computers and hung some high posters for me. Foxy and James slept most of the time, but I think they had fun seeing their mom's work.

Fair 2.0

Doctor Doctor

James had his 4 month check up today. 4 months, can you believe it?!? Here are his vitals:

• He weighs 13 lbs 8 oz which puts him in the 25th percentile for weight (at his 2 month he was 10 lbs 9 oz and in the 10th percentile).
• He is 25 inches long and in the 50th percentile for length (at 2 months he was 22 inches and 25th percentile).
• He has a small head-40.4 cm which is in the 1oth percentile. Oh well though, you know what they say, "small head, big brain." Actually I might be the only one that says that, but I think I read it in a magazine once :).

Poor Jamesie also had to have 3 shots today. Ouch! But the really exciting news is that the doctor gave him the go ahead to start eating cereal. Foxy is really going to love this new phase in Jamesie's life because I'm sure my little bossy boy will want to help hold the spoon and I foresee a lot of cereal landing on the floor.

Check out those band-aids.

That grape Tylenol is delicious!

The 3 shots don't seem to be slowing him down at all.
