James 6 Months Pictures

James gives this look a lot, especially when he is meeting someone new or you want to hold him but he is trying to tell you he is fine where he is at.

Sitting up like a champ!

I love this photo. See his two teeth!

This is a new trick he learned to do with his lips. Adorable!!

In other updates, I don't remember if I mentioned this or not but Sophia's EEG results came back normal!! Yeah! She doesn't need to be put on any medications or anything. We thought that was great news. The children right now are napping so I am trying to catch up on things but as usual, I can't think of anything else that the kids are doing. Oh, Sophia is potty trained during the day. She will run to the potty when she has to go. The funny thing though is that she can't pull down her own pants yet. So yesterday, Jim took care of the kids while I went to dinner with Christina (Thank you!!) and when I came home, Jim told me that Sophia pee-peed on the potty. Except, Jim was busy with James so Sophia went to go do it by herself. When she was done, she showed Jim all of the pee in the potty. Jim looked in there and wondered how she did it all by herself. Until he realized that her pantyhose were soaking we in the middle!! Funny - remind you of anything Carol?!

James 6 Months Check-Up

I know I haven't blogged in a long time but it has been really busy. I promise soon I will post new pictures and catch everyone up. In the mean time, James had his 6 month check-up yesterday. He is 29 inches long (which means he is growing out of his infant car seat and I have to buy a new one), 18 pounds 12 ounces, and I can't remember the head circumference except that it was in the 70%ile. His height is in the 100%ile and his weight is in the 70%ile. If you saw him before his bath, you could tell he is going to be just like Jim, long and skinny. Anyway, he is doing awesome and is sitting up on his own. What a big boy!

Breakfast in Bed

This morning I was pleasantly surprised by breakfast in bed. Jim had gotten up with the children, turned off the monitors so I couldn't hear them, and he let me sleep in until 7:45!! When I woke up, I had a tray of scrambled eggs, vegetarian bacon, two homemade pancakes (one with peanut butter, one without), and a glass of chocolate milk. Yum Yum!! What a sweet and wonderful husband!

Sophia update: it could be a couple of weeks until we get the test results back from her 48 hour EEG. I will post pictures as soon as I take the time to download the pictures.

James update: He is sitting on his own and has two teeth. Big Boy!

This and That

It has been a long time since I have blogged but we have been VERY busy. I will give you the short of everything and fill you in later when I have more time. First of all we put our house up on the market. We are hopefully moving to a bigger house with more bedrooms. I will definitely miss our backyard! We have been busy with showing the house (which involves a lot of cleaning and running the kids out of the house for an hour at a time). We have had 8 showings but no takers yet.

I was gone last week on my girl trip. It was relaxing but the weather was terrible. I was gone a week and we only had one day of sun. The rest of the week was strong winds, rain, and thunderstorms ... constantly! The lesson learned was to never go to the Caribbean in October.

Second of all, Sophia goes into the hospital tomorrow for her 48 hour EEG. She had another seizure today while I was at the doctor. I guess it was a bad one. Apparently this time she grew pale and then was very tired afterward. This is the first time she has gotten tired after having one so I am worried that her petit mals might be turning into grand mals but I am sure I am just being a worried mother. Let's pray the results are nothing serious!

I have a million pictures to post and will as soon as Sophia and I are back from the hospital.
