We have a tooth!

This has been a big week for us! Sleep training James, he slept through the night Thursday! He still wakes up around 3 most nights, but only fusses for a bit and goes right back to sleep. In all his crying at night he has become a pretty good roller! Every morning I find him on his stomach. He rolls all the time, except when I pull the camera out. James got a tooth, it poked through on Sunday, I was in denial all week that he was teething, but lo and behold he was. Taylor and I actually spent an evening together! Friday night James went down at 8 and we stayed up until 11 watching Downton Abbey and The Office, just like the good old childless days. James is back to taking a binky, not sure how long it will last this time, but it has been 2 whole days! And the biggest development in my opinion, James said Momma! He has been making mama sounds for awhile but tonight in the tub, without any coaching from me just brakes out with a big Momma he said it about 3 times before we got the camera. My heart melted :)

Pretty much all the goods are in the first 20 seconds

Where did 2012 go?

The Holidays make everything fly by! I can't believe we are already into January. I think I spent too much time in 2012 focusing on being pregnant and then focusing on James growing up! We had a pretty incredible year and 2013 is proving to be just as good.

Cute James hanging out in the rocker.

Finally he takes a binky and loooves it! For about two days...

The new binky? Black licorice. He loves it.

The only time we could get Whit off her new iPod

Oh, Matthew. Endless entertainment for the whole family. He was always getting James to smile.

Good morning! Noon on the east coast = wake up time for James.

What shall we do with a drunken sailor? A certain Aunt was pushing James trying to keep him calm while we shopped and suddenly she noticed the stroller was much ligher than it should be. Granted, I did forget to buckle the little guy in, but it was cold outside so we rushed right into the mall! Cute little guy didn't make a peep.

Gingerbread houses. This year was especially impressive.

Grandpa, always trying to come around when James was in a good mood. By the end they were pals. 

Heidi and Dane entertaining James...or themselves during church. 

Airport :( At least James was happy.

Another shot at another binky solution. He likes the wubbanub off and on. Thanks Grandma for never giving up!

Bed head! Good morning pacific time!

James is loving solids. Bananas are his new favorite

Mom of the year award goes to me! We drove all the way to Costco with James not buckled up. I went to get him out and found this. I wondered why he was being so good.

So, we've been letting our little guy cry it out :( It's been a bit rough, but he's done amazingly well! This was the morning after the first night, proving to Taylor that he still loved us.
