4 Months Old!


Sweet Baby James,

Hello my little love! You are napping right now, and while I should probably be taking advantage of that and sleeping myself, I just decided to write you a little note.

Here you are getting your bath in the kitchen sink. Look how big you are! You just love having your bath, although you do NOT like the water to get in your face. You sputter and make a big show of being very put out if that happens.


I feel like you have changed so much in the past couple weeks. You've definitely grown - at the doctor yesterday you were 25 inches long and weighed 14 pounds, 5 ounces. Just another pound and you'll have doubled your birth weight. You always want to sit up or stand, and you love jumping! We got out your bouncing gym thing and your walker - that's right, a walker. You like to push yourself around the kitchen in it, but you don't have any control over your direction, so you just go from one end to the other, then we turn you around and off you go again. When we were in St. Louis last week, we got out the highchair that I used to sit in as a little girl, and we padded you in with pillows and towels. You really enjoyed sitting there and banging your toys on the tray!


Everyone always comments on your big bright blue eyes. You use them to look around and notice everything! You follow Scruffy as he walks across the room, and you notice all the activity around you. It is so fun to watch you interact with your little world.


Daddy and I love you so much, Huddy, and everyone who meets you thinks you are pretty great too. We can't imagine our lives without your sweet toothless grin and your rosy kissable cheeks and your feisty, go-go-go personality. We're so thankful to God for giving us you.

Love Always,
Momma
