Happy 1st Birthday James!
Jacob brought home some beautiful music when I was about 37 weeks pregnant with Jamesy. This song will forever remind me of how he came to be with our family. We love you James!
Jamesy's First Facial
Jamesy had an Oreo treat this week which he worked into a gloopy saliva-cookie paste that was all over his hands. As it was nearing the end of the day, he was feeling a little sleepy and started to rub his eyes. He didn't know he was smearing it all over his forehead and face like a little Oreo mud mask. He also didn't know why we were laughing at him, but he joined right in.
When kids are sleepy it's so quick for them to go from ecstatic laughter to the depths of despondancy in mere moments...
Scooter
This happened more than a month ago, but it's still fun and exciting for us.
We've entered the world of forward purposeful movement! Way to go Jamesy!
He's kind of a slow poke, so we had to speed this one up a bit.
And actually, he's not a slow poke anymore. There's some very adept, speedy scooting at our house these days.
Daddy Daughter Date
A very fun afternoon for Daddy and Ellen, and a very fun movie just hot off the presses courtesy of Daddy and Ellen.
Even with a very demanding 7 days/week schedule, Jacob makes it a priority to treat us to high-quality time with Daddy with any precious free time he has. We're so lucky to have such a great Daddy!

Big Girl Bed!!
After many talks with Ellen about not getting out of bed, making sure to stay in the bed, threats of having to return back to the crib... we tried the big-girl bed for the first time today.
Before the nap
During the nap
After the nap
We added a little extra bling after Ellen woke up to make sure she would fall in love with the big-girl bed even more. When it was all up and ready she said, "I wanna take a nap again!" and pretended to for the next 20 minutes.
Big-girl bed: so far, so good...
