+ Snapshots +

Today I took James to his 6 month doctor appointment. I can hardly believe that he has been a part of our family for 6 months already! And I really can't believe that he isn't sleeping through the night yet! I like to think that he just loves spending so much time with me that he can't make it until morning to snuggle ;) While that thought is comforting, I need my sleep James!!! We will work on having him cry it out at night and pray that he doesn't wake the girls. He is now sitting up on his own too although he loves to throw himself backwards so I can't leave him unattended quite yet. This is in true James style as he is constantly moving. I have never seen such an active baby. He LOVES to jump in his exersaucer and johnny jumper.

Unlike me, he is on the petite side. He went from being in the 85% percentile in weight and 95% in height to being in 40% for weight and 50% height. I attribute this to the fact that he doesn't like to eat. He is not a fan of baby food or cereal yet. He basically acts like we are gagging him when we try to feed him. Tonight we tried a Cheerio and his reaction was hysterical! He stared at us like we were insane with the Cheerio just sitting in his mouth and then proceeded to spit it out at us while making a crumpled, disgusted face. Hopefully he learns to eat soon so he puts on some weight! No teeth yet either which is consistent with the girls and their late teeth.

I have to also share the sweet moment I caught of the girls talking in bed after we left their room tonight.

Annie: What side of the bed should I sleep on?

Kate: I don't know, either side.

Annie: OK.

Kate: We better get to sleep.

Annie: Yeah, we better get to sleep.

Kate: Night Annie

Annie: Night Kate

Kate: See you in the morning Annie

Annie: See you in the morning Kate

Kate: I love you Annie

Annie: I love you Kate

My heart is smiling tonight! :)
