James is growing up!

James is having a great time with his Aunt Teri. She is taking him on all sorts of exciting adventures - including the pool. I even went along to one pool adventure. James is definitely a little water baby!

James also has 2 teeth now. On his 7 month birthday he woke up with a fever and I was sure he was super sick. The fever went down with Tylenol and by the afternoon you could see the little teeth.
I try to send Tobias pictures every day and I really wanted to show him James' teeth. The only way I could get a good picture of them was when James was mad! Can you see the 2 bottom front teeth?

Before you feel too sorry for James, look at this picture. You can see his teeth in this one and look how happy he is!

Since James is such a good crawler now, we've put up a couple of baby gates. James isn't a huge fan!

He also started pulling up on things last weekend. Pretty exciting!

Other milestones include taking baths in the tub - no more baby tub - and eating Cheerios. Our dog, Bandit, eats more Cheerios than James I think. James doesn't really have the coordination to get many in his mouth yet, but he tries.


And just a funny video of James laughing! Baby laughs are the best ever!!

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...
