Stephanie and Lena came home at the end of August for another visit! We had a lot of fun with them! We even got to have a birthday party for Lena! Lots of boating and pool fun was had!

At 6 months we started Jameson on foods, so far (2 months later) J has gotten through all the vegetables and almost all of the grains without any troubles. He seems to like just about everything so far!

The last 1/2 of the summer J discovered a little taste of how fun parks are! We went on quite a few play dates to parks around the area. The picture of J is with his girlfriend Lily! The picture was NOT staged, just Jameson showing a little love!

We gave him VERY watered down oatmeal for his first 'meal'...it was pretty confused on what was going on and I'm pretty sure ALL of it ended up on his bib! He made funnier faces when we tried giving him water than cereal! but it was fun!
here are some other fun pictures of our sweet boy!

6 Months

I can hardly believe I have a 6 month old, it honestly scares me how fast this is going! He is growing and learning new tricks each week! This week he learned how to barrel roll around the Living Room. It cracks me up! He also just got his first tooth! VERY sharp! He experienced his first sleepover without Mom or Dad at Grandma and Grandpas! He did very well! ...and so did I! He's getting a lot better at sitting by himself, he no longer folds forward if you let go. He tips left or right but he jerks himself to try to balance himself out. He's not to the point yet where you can set him down and back away though but it's coming soon I'm sure! He has his 6 month appointment in a couple days; I'm guessing he's around 17lbs. (at 5 months he was 15lbs) Next weekend he'll start eating foods! Crazy I can't believe him! I'll post some 6 month pictures soon, hopefully i can get a big smile to show off his first pearly white! Smiles and giggles have been a little sparse lately with the teething pains.

5 Months
Jameson is now just over 5 months! He is learning so quickly and able to explore a lot more now that he is really reaching for things. I however, have not gotten used to this new trick so I've found a chip in his hand as well as his fingers in my dinner. Toys are getting so fun for him now! He has gotten very curious in our cat in the last couple weeks and he is learning how to not only take out the pacifier but put it back in! This is still a very rusty trick, success rate of probably 20%(that may be generous). He has proven that he loves the water: tub and pools! He has taken on quite the voice...not always the sweet coos you think of; think more of a squawking bird. We're not really sure where that came from or if that is going to stick around for awhile.
I took him to the doctor for a severe case of "Newmomitus" or "New-parent Syndrome) and he weighed in at 15lbs and left with a clean bill of health expect for a patch of eczema. I was more worried about the ear he kept pulling on and his uneven belly. (What you may be thinking! lol when breaths deep or cries his left side would puff up a lot higher so of course I thought...tumor or lung problems!)All was well though.
We've been having a lot of playdates and J has proven to be pretty good at them so far! It is so fun to get together with mom's in the same stage of life as me and bounce questions, concerns and even just relate our experiences with each other. So we'll plan many more of those in the future!

I've been pulling a little inflatable Duck Tub outside as his swimming pool, the first time it didn't go well but once i warmed up the water a little he LOVED it! Plus I love the snuggle time afterward!

Ryan's First Father's Day!!

Jameson is now one week past 4 months! He is now trying to hold his own bottle...it's more like touching with spastic movements that often yanks the bottle out of his mouth and then he gets mad. He always wants to sit up, no more laying back for him! He tries to elbow his way up to sitting. Just this week he has begun to put a little weight on his legs and wants to stand on your lap. He is giggling more and more with each day; his giggle is honestly the most joyous noise, it still brings tears to my eyes when I hear it!

I bought this Jumperoo off Craigslist and I think Jameson is really going to like it! It has so many toys and seat rotates all the way around, plus he loves to push off on his feet so this jumping motion is great for him!
