Active Little Boy!

James is finally over his cold and is doing very well. Yesterday I tried to put him in 3-6 month clothes and they were too tight. So now we're up to size 6-9 month clothes and we're in toddler size socks! It's amazing to me since he's not even 3 months old yet!

This past week has been really busy for James. We had our first play date at a friend's house. There were 3 eight month old babies (2 boys and a girl) and a two and a half year old little girl. All the kids were great and the little two year old was a huge help. She would get bottles for us and make sure all the babies were okay! James didn't seem too interested in the other babies, but still the interaction is healthy - for both of us. Also, the 2 little boys get to see their dads for the first time in 6 months today as they're both returning from a 6 month deployment!
In other exciting news, yesterday was our first time going grocery shopping just the 2 of us. James was great! Everyone was so impressed with how good he was. I had in him a carrier and he slept for most of the event.

This is the last thing I want to share - James has found his reflection. Right now he's on his activity mat staring at himself in the mirror. His reflection is really interesting, he'll stare at himself for like 10 minutes!

I'm trying to show a video. I don't know if the quality is any good, but you can see him move and hear him talk.
James smiling at Tobe. I'm a bit late on the smile - but you can still see a happy baby.

Fast as the Flash

The boys have a need for speed!  Recently James and Eli built Pine Wood derby cars to compete in the James' Boy Scout troop. In the beginning... We did some scholarly research to prepare.  Thank you YouTube! My step-dad, AKA Pawpaw was a big help and taught James to use power tools. Sanding is always fun! James designed and built his car with minimal assistance. Spray paint is always fun. Added weights to make it as heavy as the rules allowed. The finished products! The race was a lot of fun! James didn't win but he worked really hard and was really proud of his car. While his derby car wasn't the fastest, James was the fastest in a recent track race.  My future Olympic sprinter!   Zoom zoom zoom

M-I-C-K-E-Y and a bunch of other fun stuff

Everyone grab their Mickey Ears!  We just returned from a wonderful vacation to Walt Disney World.  We flew down to FL from MA, my sister and her beautiful family and my aunt and cousin all flew from CA, and my mom traveled from MO!   All 11 of us stayed in one beautiful villa right on the Walt Disney property and had a great time. We celebrated JillMama's 60th birthday in style.   We also celebrated my nephew's 2nd birthday while in WDW! Everyone had a great time! We celebrated Halloween a little early at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!   Can you tell we're the Avengers!?!  Eli was the Incredible Hulk, Tobias was Tony Stark (AKA Iron Man), James was Captain America, and I was Black Widow. By the end of the night, the Incredible Hulk was done, but still really cute! Gabe (age 4) and James got along great! Elias and Gavin (also 2) were fast friends too. Fun times on a ride with my little man! Rrrr Matey!  ...

Winter in Boston

Happy February!  I can't believe I haven't updated since November when we've had such an exciting couple of months!   Our Lego family for Christmas 2014 designed by James!  There are a lot of firsts and developmental milestones in first grade!  James finished his first chapter book over the Christmas break!  So proud of him - he is reading above grade level. James also remains very active with track and is working with his gym teacher to start a running club at his elementary school! This was a fun assignment for the entire family.  Once he completed the assignment, James presented it to his class. We did family Christmas pictures this year with a great photographer.  We met at Minute Man National Park - where Paul Revere was captured- and had fun taking pictures together.  I worked the night before and it was cold out, but the pictures still turned out great! The 2014 Walters Family Christmas picture! My two cuti...
