Here's our little guy 43 weeks old. It's a little tricky getting him to hold still, he would rather grab at the paper or try to crawl out of the chair. He sure does like being able to move around on his own. I guess its time to get more serious about baby proofing the house.

*I'll have to make sure that I take more pictures for next time, I guess I'm a slacker!

James loves pulling himself up on things and walking while we hold on to him. A few days ago he started crawling more than just a few steps at a time. Now he's able to get around a bit better.



We went to the Phoenix zoo last Saturday, it was really fun! It was a little too warm for some of the animals, which were hiding, but we did get to see some cool ones. I think our favorites were the giraffes and zebras.

James liked playing on this statue

Here we are in front of the Rhinos, which you can't see

There was even an arena for giving horseback riding lessons, I thought it was really neat.

We stopped to take a picture and when we looked at James he had grabbed the fence and was pulling on it.

James really liked the tractors they had for the kids to play on.

After church on Sunday, James fell asleep in his suit, he was just so cute.

Laundry baskets are one of his favorite toys, now I just need to teach him how to fold clothes.

42 weeks

It seems like I take his picture and then before I know it another week has gone by, where does the time go?

Pretending to be daddy studying...yes Chris really wears these!



James and his new friend Peter, now we just need a John.



He thought having blankets thrown on him was so funny




He really is our little piggy




41 weeks

Forget crawling, this little guy is obsessed with standing and walking, with help of course.

James has started playing peek-a-boo with us, I couldnt take the picture fast enough though.

We thought he looked so cute in these pj's and had to take a picture.

We went camping in Prescott last night, it was pretty fun! We got there when it was dark so we had to set everything up with flashlights.



Our camera doesnt take very good pictures in the dark, here's Chris and James after we ate our tin foil dinners.



This is what it looked like in the morning




James playing in the tent





He thought it was fun to hit the walls, when we tried to put him to bed he kept rolling over so he could smack the side. I dont think he went to sleep until at least midnight, and then he kicked his blankets off and got cold, so he got to sleep in between mommy and daddy.

We drove down to see the lake before we left, there were signs that said, "No swimming or wading" what good is a lake you cant use?

James in the car on the way home, the flash must have been too bright for his poor little eyes.

James didnt want to look at the camera, he was too interested in the ducks swimming on the lake, so...

I changed angles and he just turned his head the other way. Better luck next time.
