Week 11



Week 12

I am still awed at how much James changes in just one week.



The picture of James in his swing is a 12 week picture. I am still trying to figure out how to put pictures on with text.
He is so cute and is so happy when he figures out how to do something new. Yesterday he started making the toys go around and make noises. He loves it.

Back to Work

Well, it is official I am a full-time working mother and its really not as bad as I thought. I went back to work last Monday and James is adjusting quite wonderfully. I think he is getting the hang of being with dad when I'm gone. It is very helpful that he loves his dad and has had a special bond with him from the beginning.

I thought the first day of work was going to be awful. Everyone kept saying that I was going to cry and they would have tissues everywhere. I felt sad to leave James but I didn't cry. I was actually happy to be back to work. Although the last couple of hours were agony. I just wanted to hold my baby and kiss him all over. I imagine it will always be like that though.

I am greatful for my husband and the great care he takes of our son. I never have to worry. He actually sleeps better for Cloyd than for me when I'm home, weird.

Family Pictures

Here are some family pictures we took while in Kanab

Visiting grandmas and grandpas

We went down to Kanab this weekend. I figured we should try to go down one more time before I have to start work next week. These last 12 weeks have flown by, and I'm so sad to be leaving my baby home while I am at work. I have a feeling the first little while are going to be pretty difficult. I am very lucky to be able to work in a career that gives me the choice to work at night or during the day.

I will be working at nights again and my husband will be home to stay with James. My manager was great enough to let me pick my schedule and so I am working Mon, Fri, & Sat; that way Cloyd can work on Tues and Thurs and also go to school and fly.

Anyways, it was really nice to be able to spend the weekend in Kanab. The weather was perfect, unlike up here were we are still getting snow. James got to play with his cousins and go to church so people from the ward could see him..

He did pretty good at church, although by the end of the second hour he was ready to go home and take a nap. He looks so cute in his church clothes.

I wish we could have stayed a little bit longer, but Cloyd has finals this week and so back to the grind and real life we go again.

Growing..Growing...Growing

Well, James is officially sleeping through half the night. I couldn't believe it. I put him to bed at 8:30 and he woke me up at 2:30 in the morning. I was so surprised that it starled me for a minute.
We moved him into his own room at 6 weeks. I was afraid it was too early, but when we tried it that first night he did awesome. He actually sleeps better in his own room then he did in ours. I have a monitor by my bed and when he wakes up he lets me know.
My 2 1/2 month old baby is officially into his 3-6 month clothes this week. Every day he has gotten a little bit bigger and stronger.
He can sit up in his bumbo with out any help now. He is so cute and just sits there looking all around with the biggest smile on his face. I think he is so proud of himself. When we do tummy time he is able to do a mini push up, although tummy time gets old for him fast. Hopefully he will start to like it sooner or later.

2 Months Already

My oh my how time flies when you are having fun. James is already 9 weeks old. We went to his 2 month appointment Friday and he is measuring 23 inches and 12 1/2 pounds. He has gained 5 lbs and 5 inches. They also did is immunization shots and I was so sad. I didn't think it would effect me like that. He didn't cry for too long until we had been home for a couple of hours. He was crying so hard I didn't know what to do and Cloyd was flying. It wasn't until he got back on the ground that I could call him. He picked up some Tylenol on his way home and that seemed to help a ton.

This last weekend was fun. James was blessed in church on Sun. He was so cute in his little outfit that Grandma Jones (does that remind you to much of dad's mom?) bought him. We were so blessed to have as many family members as we had there. Cloyd's parents came up from Alton, Michael and Lindsey came up from St. George, my parents and sisters with their babies came up from Kanab, Sam and Shauna came down from Bluffdale, Cindy and Jeff with their kids came down from Alpine, Kate came down from SLC, Jeremy and Emily and their kids came down from Orem. Needless to say our home was packed at the luncheon but it was very very nice. I couldn't have asked for a better day.

Once I figure out how to add an image I will or you can go to my mom's blog and check them out.
