joe has been dethroned

I noticed that all of the pictures I have taken this week have been of James sitting (or getting onto) Joe's chair. I think it is safe to say it isn't Joe's chair anymore! I love his face in the first picture. Could his expression be any blanker? The last is of him today in his gorgeous new Kiwipie diaper cover. Maria does such a beautiful job with every new thing she makes for James. What a treasure! If you can't tell, it's a koi fish embroidered on the front. James made fish faces (which are really just kisses in reference to fish) and pointed to the fish the entire time it was on. I guess he approves!

I bearly got these pictures

He was being a bit rambunctious! The sweatshirt is a super cute gift from James' buddy Owen (thanks Cheryl!), he was pretty excited about how big the hood is (playing peek-a-boo in the last picture). If you couldn't tell, he is singing opera (falsetto) in the second picture :p

stop growing already!

James has been having some serious growth spurts recently! He looks like such a little boy now instead of a baby. He outgrew all of his summer clothes just in time for fall! His 7th tooth finally broke through the gums yesterday, so he slept quite well last night. It's great to feel like a human instead of a zombie today. the shadow on the right of the pictures is me lol.
