Well, James got his Christmas wish early.. his two front teeth! Thank goodness, now we can all SLEEP again! For some reason, I'd come down with a wicked case of insomnia over the last month and was finally getting to the point where I could crash through til morning, when BAM! Teething! The poor little stinker was waking up every night, and one night he just BAWLED... he was pitiful. We went through 2 or 3 bottles of baby Tylenol and another of Motrin. Toofie number 1 (front passenger side) popped through last weekend, toofie number 2 the following Tuesday. They are the cutest little things.. we're trying to get some good pics of them to show 'em off. On a related note, no injuries yet, but mommy's keeping a *very* careful eye out during feeding time...
This weekend we finally made it over to Stacy and Tim's to return the bassinette (sp?) and came home with a Jolly Jumper. Jumpin' James is CRAZY about this. He just bounces and spins and has a blast. Note to those of you who haven't used one of these yet... don't put them in shortly after eating... ya know what happens to sodas when you shake them up? Same concept.
Can't remember if I included this before or not, but he's also sitting up on his own (yay!) unless he's being lazy, then he just topples over to one side (dork). He's also REALLY close to crawling, and can get up on all fours and push himself backwards, which seems to annoy him as it has exactly the opposite effect of what he was aiming for. I guess any day now we'll have to put away the piles of exposed wires we keep near the electrical outlets (kidding). Our little boy is growing up!!!
