Mmmmm, cereal....

James had his first taste of cereal recently. He thought it was pretty good! Just wait until you can eat something with taste, buddy!

Four months old

James had his four month well-baby check today. He weighs 14 lbs 12 oz and is 25" long. He's in the 50th percentile for weight, and jumped into the 75th for height! He's doing really well, and the doctor said if we wanted he's ready for cereal! That should be messy fun for the next blog update :)

Here are some pictures of him enjoying his latest toy - the ExerSaucer. It's a lot of fun!

Happy Birthday Cousin Nathan!

Happy first birthday - you're getting to be such a big boy!




We're celebrating with you from afar today, little guy!


And the obligatory close-up for Grandpa & Grandma

Fourth of July Fun!

We spent three days at the family cottage at Hogback. Four adults, two babies, and four doggies in a two bedroom cottage is barely controlled bedlam!

Andy cooked us breakfast one morning over the campfire. And Skylar very graciously licked up all the leftovers out of the cooling pan.


James got to hang out with Grandpa Garn on the deck. Don't they look stunning in their hats?


James also got to go on his very first pontoon ride. He was less than thrilled with the life jacket. Putting a baby in a life jacket is like herding a cat, FYI. He fell asleep on the pontoon ride, so he missed all the lake scenery.
