Post run, James Darren was sound asleep

Strawberry Popsicle? - Umm I'm not sure

8 Months

Wow, I cannot believe James Darren is 8 months old!  In some ways it seems like just yesterday we were heading to the hospital in the middle of the night.  In other ways it seems like he has always been there, always been part of our family.  Darren and I are having so much fun being his Mommy and Daddy!  James Darren is growing and changing so much every day.  We love to watch him grow and discover the world! 

-          Loves to talk and “sing” – sometimes he will get really excited and go on for several minutes just talking away, he especially likes to do this when we are in restaurants. 

-          He is not crawling yet, when he tries to call he moves a little bit and then just rolls over.

-          Loves his walker and can get just about anywhere he wants.  When he is in his walker you must wear shoes because he will run right over your feet! 

-          He likes to stand and hold onto the couch and play with his toys (and remotes) on the couch. 

-          Takes 3 6oz bottles a day

-          Eats puffs and cheerios

-          Eats “solids” twice a day which consist of cereal and 2 containers of baby food (each time)

-          Loves fruit – especially when you give him little bites of fresh fruit

-          He loves bath time especially now that we are bathing him in the tub

-          Loves to swing outside

-          Doesn’t care too much for  having his diaper or clothes changed

We love this sweet boy and are so happy and blessed to have him in our family!

Happy 4th!

Happy 4^th of July!  We hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday!  We had a wonderful relaxing day.  We got to enjoy some great fellowship with our friends and family!  Here are a few pictures from the 4th and  a few random pictures of James Darren recently. 

Happy 4th!! James Darren's shirt has a puppy holding a flag but he is covering it with his hand, oh well at least we are all smiling.  

That's about as creative as I get - haha

Playing under the kitchen table 

He loves bath time!
