Fro! Ho! Ho!

Christmas Morning 2009

My First Baby

He's not so little anymore! James fell off the front porch last face first onto the rim of a potted plant. Ouch! I was about 5 feet away but unable to catch him in time. I can still hear the "thud" from his noggin' greeting the ceramic pot. We iced him up (something he wasn't very fond of), gave him his binky (even though he's been binky-free for a about a week now), let him watch Builder Bob, and checked on him throughout the night to ensure no concussion. The egg on his forehead has subsided but the area around his eye is red and puffy...could quite possibly turn into a black eye.

Anyway, back to "My First Baby"....yeah, he's not so little anymore. Look at this mini-man (pre-fall)!

Umm....Seriously?

I can barely stand it. 3 1/2 months and I am completely, utterly smitten.

Wagon-Wheelin' through the Neighborhood

One of James' favorite pastimes is to walk through the neighborhood. He meanders all about pointing out new discoveries, checking out his surroundings. Late yesterday afternoon I took him for a walk in the wagon. At one point he wanted out and I showed him how to pull the wagon behind him. There was no turning back after that! Going forward, that's all he wanted to do, and that wagon is heavy for a little 20-month old! He walked and walked, especially excited when the wagon had to go over a bump. Anyway, he inspired me to take on a new wagon-wheelin' project. Hopefully you'll be seeing more of that soon!

Instant Brothers

December has descended upon us and I can't believe we are only one week ahead of Christmas! Yikes! I have been a naughty blogger for sure...not one post this month; I almost can't believe it myself. I'll blame it on starting back to work and having a baby that wants to be held by his Mama whenever he can sniff her out (which is ALL the time). Anyway, I'm really, really trying to catch up on things but I clearly run out of steam by the time both of the babies are in bed. Soooo...to make my life easier AND satiate some of you who long to see the sweet faces of James and George, I picked up the instant camera last night and this morning. Love the fact I can take a picture and have it in the palm of my hand seconds later. Voila!
