James

Tonight I just want to talk about James...
I am in complete amazement at him. I can't believe he is 8 1/2 weeks old. He'll be 2 months old next Wednesday. He is starting to look more and more like a little boy instead of a baby. He talks to us daily. He also loves to watch and talk to Alex. Tonight, his daddy put him to bed instead of me. When I finished putting Alex to bed, I came out to find James in the crib in his bedroom instead of the bassinet in our room. He wasn't quite asleep yet either. I'm used to rocking him to sleep in my arms or having to lay down with him on our bed and then moving him to his bassinet. Tonight he is sound asleep in his crib without any help from mommie. =( Mommie doesn't like this since it means that my baby boy is growing up. WAY TOO FAST FOR MOMMIE!!!! Mommie is selfishly hoping to have a few more nights in the bassinet. Alex didn't move out of the bassinet until he was 4 months old...of course he didn't exactly have a choice like James does.
I gave them their first bath together tonight. Alex was soooo helpful!!!! =D He makes mommie so proud. During the bath he kept kissing James on the head. There is no sweeter sight to a mommie's eyes than her 2 year old son kissing his baby brother.
I guess that's it for now. I love how this was supposed to be a post about James, and Alex still managed to enter the conversation....

Good night world!!!

Busy, busy, busy.

Today has been the longest day I have had in a while. Had a doctor's appointment this morning, got the oil changed in my car, and then came home. That doesn't sound like much, but when you have two children in tow it is. Got home. Finally booked our hotel for Disney/Universal. Finally found out what I have to do to get a copy of James' birth certificate. I still have a house to clean, and probably wont get to it until Thursday...errrrgggg. I have an appointment in the morning that will probably last until 11 or so. Then I have to be at church tomorrow at 5:00pm or earlier to eat. I'm hoping to stay for choir tomorrow night. That means I wont get home until sometime after 8:30ish. Thursday will be back to a normal routine. Then I have another appointment on Friday. In-laws coming on Saturday. Whew what a week!!!!
On a happier note...
James will be 8 weeks old on Thursday, but wont be 2 months old until the following Wednesday. Odd, but that's what happens when our months don't have the same amount of days.
Alex grows more and more everyday. He has been sleeping in his big-boy bed for over a week now. I couldn't be more proud. We are working on the potty training thing... Difficult to do with all of the appointments. Hopefully, we can soon get into a routine that allows me to train him more regularly. He knows the alphabet, his numbers in three languages, colors, shapes, and he can sing better than most children his age. My mother is even baffled by his singing abilities.

Guess that's it for now... I need to think about getting James up to eat so that he doesn't get his days and nights confused.
