Adventures with James at 8.5 months - 19.5 lbs and growing!







James is having a ball this summer. He traveled to Asheville to help take care of Grandma after her back surgery.
He spent time on the beach with his awesome Great Uncle Joe and got to put his hands in the sand... and he squealed "Eww!" as if to say " What is this weird texture!"
Enjoy these pictures of our recent days together. More adventures to come!
James is growing which must be because he is sleeping better -- 12 hours last night (7:30PM to 7:30 AM! What a DREAM that is for Mommy and Daddy!). His reflux/spit up is under control due to a great visit with a specialist who put him on soy formula - so he is eating more food and drinking more milk. He sort of mourned the loss of nursing, but he finally warmed up to the formula after much protest. But he's doing baby signs to ask for milk now - and that's so exciting 1) that he knows his sign for milk but also 2) that he actually wants milk (aka formula)! He can also eat with his hand, picking up things with his thumb and forefinger to feed himself.

We're loving every minute of this parenting thing!
