4 months

We went on a picnic up Spanish Fork Canyon a couple of weeks a go. It was gorgeous. James loved swinging on the swings with his dad. He is babbling up a storm now. He loves it when we talk to him he has so much to tell us. Very cute

James is eating cereal and fruit now and loves it. I never thought is would be this easy to feed a baby. It always looked harder in the movies I guess. When he is ready to eat another bite he opens his mouth wide a eats it down

He is able to roll mostly by himself from front to back and back to front.

It is amazing to watch James grow into his personality and to see him develop. I love it. At is 4 month check-up he weighed 15 lbs 14 oz and was 25 1/2 inches long. He was in the 70 percentile on both of these, but his head was in the 40 percentile.

Cloyd had his appendix out this last Sunday. He has had stomach problems et pain in his right lower abdomen for some time now, he thinks since his mission. But, it has never been anything to serious in fact the pain usually goes away pretty quickly. Except on Sunday it was a different story the pain wouldn't go away and got worse. So, off to the ER we go, luckily one of my favorite surgeons was on this weekend and he took care of it.
When he pulled the appy out he found that it was not only acute appendicitis but chronic, as there was a significant amount of scar tissue around it. Go figure all these years of stomach problems was because of one little appy. The dr also gave the rest of his stomach a clean bill of health saying that is was very normal looking. whew!

Now it is just getting him back to normal. It may take him a few days to get over the pain and to be able to lift again. He is really having a hard time not being able to hold James for to long let alone lift him.
