More February 2010

Here are some cute pictures from the rest of February.

James playing in a box. He liked getting pushed around in it and having Daddy fly him around in it :)

James is just the cutest little boy ever!

This is James watching "Mahna Mahna" from the Muppet Show on youtube. Since he was about 6 months old, it has been his absolute favorite video. He loves to watch it over and over again, and it always calms him down when he gets really fussy. Now he also likes to watch "Sax & Violence" - another Muppet video with Mahna Mahna.

February 2010 GA Trip

In February Michael went to Germany on a business trip. So instead of sitting around at home alone, James and I decided to go to GA and visit my family. It was a great trip, and we had lots of fun spending time with my family! I love my family so much, and I'm so glad we got to visit and they got to see James. When we left GA last summer to move out here to California, James was only 4 months old, so he had changed a lot since the last time they saw him.

James just being cute :)

At the beginning of February, James started taking steps. At first he would only get in 3 or 4 steps before he fell. Once while we were in GA he did 8! This picture is mid-fall during one such walking attempt :)

Fun in the bath! James LOVES the bath! Especially splashing Mommy :)

He thoroughly enjoyed pulling all the games out and making a mess :)

It snowed TWICE while we were in GA, which is crazy because it's rare for it to snow there even once per winter. It was only a few inches, but it was still snow. So we took James out in the snow for a little bit. He didn't really know what to think of it :) He just stared and stared at it falling around him.

James' First Christmas

Here are some pictures from James' First Christmas.

Every day this present was under the tree, James would crawl over to it, pull himself up, and rip the bow off :)
James digging for some candy...
...and he got some! And is very happy about it :)
This is our Christmas tree with all the presents under it on Christmas morning. We decided to get a nice artificial Christmas tree as our anniversary present to each other.
James got to open one present on Christmas Eve. He thought the wrapping paper was delicious!
And then he opened the rest on Christmas morning. There are A LOT of people that love James. He got A LOT of presents :)

And it was so sad because his first teeth were coming in, so he was miserable all through Christmas :( He could only make it through opening a few presents at a time.
