3 months, 3 weeks

I couldnt help but have him try out his wedding outfit, I think it will fit perfectly by October 22nd, but I am going to look for a collared white onsie. Isn't he CUTE?! Eugh I swore I would never be ones of those moms, guess not!

so after spending another amazing Monday (I love our Mondays together!), baking, laundry, movie watching, and just hanging out, James falls asleep on my chest for a nice nap. I'm combing his hair getting all emotional about how fast he's growing and Chris comes home. He goes straight into the kitchen, grabs a glass of milk and a plate of cookies. It was a nice little reminder that James may get bigger, but it will take a while for him to grow out of his inner-child! Oh, and of course he dipped the cookies in the milk!

James is VERY vocal now, when you cant hear him, its because he's rolled over and talking into the mat. The problem with rolling over, he he only goes half way, then gets all aggravated because he's on his stomach! He's pretty good about sitting up against pillows. Sometimes he'll go head first forward, but usually he just tips over. He's kicking his feet in the bath, laughing (especially when he's up high), blowing spit bubbles, rolling halfway over, and talking up a storm. He has also started to put his hands around the top of his bottle when your feeding him, but he just cant hold up the 8oz he drinks.

I have noticed he has a long torso like his dad, which makes his onesies a little tight, and his pants a little long. His feet are also big. For everyone who wants to buy him outfits, pants and shirts, no onsies or one-piece outfits for this kid! He has a four month checkup in early october, any guesses on how big he'll be?!?!

Were going to be pretty busy the next couple months. A route is coming available in Wasilla which is where Chris and I want to raise our family, so I'm taking it. I however am not willing to make the 1 hour commute each way, maybe if it wasn't at 3 am I would, but I'm not getting up at 1:30 am every morning! So Chris is looking for paving and plow companies out there, and were getting our house ready to either rent or sell. Which would be easy if we didn't have a few projects to finish first, and it wasn't football season!

So thats about it from our household. October is the wedding in Seattle and a 24 hour visit to my family in Oregon, November my mom and brother visit for Thanksgiving, December Kimberly comes for Christmas, January we head to Fairbanks ..... I may need to switch James to formula so I can drink caffeine in order to get it all done!

Whoa where did all this weight come from?

So I only gained 25 lbs when I was pregnant with James, I then rapidly lost the weight the first 2 weeks after I gave birth and started to breast feed. Then suddenly I was hungry, no not hungry, STARVING! I was always stuffing my face with food! Now its time to do something about it. I bought Zumba because I could do it at home while James was napping or just hanging out. It was supposed to be 'great for loosing baby weight', 'easy to learn', 'fun'. Well Zumba isn't working out to well for me, apparently I'm not very coordinated. I can get either the hand or feet motions down, but not together, and then add my hips? Forget it! I don't have 2-3 hours every day to do P90X (although I think it would be perfect for me). So I'm going old school and breaking out the Step aerobics!

I hope to get some video of James posted once Chris gets home today (he has the iphone). Were counting down the days till we see everyone in October!
