Such a fun kid!

My last post got a bit of complaints for having too many pictures of Tobias (mostly from grandparents), so I'll make up for it in this post with lots of pictures of James!

Tobias has been gone for just over a week now. This picture is actually one from his homecoming, and I just got it. Before Tobias left, we had a tailgate - Walters style! James didn't really get any donuts or coffee, but he seemed to enjoy his Cheerios and milk!And there was plenty of playtime with Daddy too! I think this picture is so funny!Tobias and James just after bath time the night before Tobias left. Look at those beautiful blue eyes on both those guys! The morning Tobias left one of James' top teeth popped through. He now has 3 teeth and the other top front tooth is just about out! You can kind of see the top tooth in this picture.
I realize this isn't the best picture, but I think it's so cute to see James looking all athletic and enjoying his books. We moved James into a toddler bed before Tobias left because James was about to crawl of out his crib. The toddler bed has worked out great. I took this picture earlier this week, and I felt so bad waking him up. Doesn't he look like a teenager whose had a rough night? Today was a big day - we bought James his first pair of shoes and a new ball. James really isn't a huge fan of shoes, but he needs to start wearing them. I think he looks so grown up!
Just a sweet picture of James and Bandit!
I think he looks so grown up in this one! He such a big boy for only 9 months!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I love the food and there is no pressure like there is with Christmas. This Thanksgiving weekend has been wonderful. We started off the celebration by ringing the Salvation Army bell on Tuesday afternoon. James was a big hit! Sorry we didn't get pictures of that. James' school hosted a Thanksgiving luncheon on Wednesday that Tobias and I were able to attend. They had all the kids decked out like little pilgrims. It was super cute! My dad came out on Wednesday evening. He hadn't seen James since May, so they had a lot of catching up to do. Chris, a friend of ours who is a ROTC instructor at Villanova , came down for the day too. Chris and James had a great time together - too bad Chris only stayed for dinner on Thursday before heading back up North. James enjoyed his first piece of pumpkin pie on Thursday too. It was obviously a big hit! My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. We usually don...

Summer, Summer, Summer Time!

We have enjoyed exploring more of Southern Maryland this past month. We explored a local light house! James and his ol' buddy tried out sailing at the local maritime museum. And James even tried his hand at being a pirate. Arrrr, Matey! But the best part of summer is enjoying time with our friends - fun while shucking some fresh corn. James is learning lots of new songs at his new school. Here is he is singing for your enjoyment while eating some lunch. One of the perks of living near a Naval Base is being able to enjoy a wonderful airshow. This was a special airshow this Labor Day Weekend, celebrating 100 years of Naval Aviation. This was James' first time seeing the Blue Angels fly. He was pretty impressed, but thought they were too noisy! In exciting family news - James is excited to announce that he will soon be a big brother. We are expecting a baby in late January.

James Has Arrived

Welcome to the world James Douglas Walters! He joined us yesterday at 6:16 pm Eastern Daylight Time. He weighed in at 7lb 14 oz and 21.5 inches long! He's long and lean. Tobias says we can call him 'Slim.' Everything with the labor went very well for the birth mother and I was actually in the delivery room for the birth. I also got to cut the umbilical cord. Wow, what an exciting experience. His birth mother did very well and seems to still be comfortable with her adoption plan. Tobias and I arrived at the hospital yesterday about 11pm, so we weren't really there for very long. While we waited we tailgated for a while (we needed some energy), which we thought was kinda funny. We stayed at the hospital until about 1am last night and were back this morning. Things are going so fast and it's such an amazing experience. We are so thankful for everyones thoughts and prayers. He's a very healthy baby - APGAR score of 9.9! We know you're just wanting to see p...
