james and sam

as to try and make this post not longer than it has to be, i will briefly tell you what is going on in each ADORABLE pic.. :-)

this is the most amazing pic of james we have taken in awhile!


and this is james trying to hang out in sam's bouncer. james is still only 25lbs, so its no biggy that he is in there.


this pic of the boys is priceless!


we did this with james so we had to do it with sam. the famous "in daddys jacket" pic.


sam got a bath in the tub for the first time. we have been doing the sink, but he is a TAD big!


jake thought it would be cool to teach sam NOW the importance of holding on to the remote so mommy cant touch it.


and this is a typical day for sam to hang out on daddy. you can see how big he is getting compared to jake.


and that is about what is going on here nowadays. :-)

2 or jealous??

is it because he is two or because he is jealous??? that is what i am trying to figure out.

james keeps getting out of his bed at night. i think i have mentioned this before, but now its EVERY night. and he brings both his blankets (he calls them "buggies") and curls up by the door. we tried giving him more bottle, we tried cuddling, we tried talking to him... nothing makes him STAY in bed. but he loves his brother. he loves to kiss him and hug him and have us lay them down together. so i dont understand. why act all crazy if you LOVE your brother??

on top of that, he isnt eating very well again. i cant get him to eat much of anything anymore. unless its a hamburger? but even the waffles he loves, he eats 3 bites and stops. i just wish he was PERFECT and that this situation was PERFECT and that i could get a nap! :/

dentist

heres a cute pic before my dentist story.. :-)



alright, now that you got to see the cute pic, here is my story...

we took james to his first dental appt last week. as we were leaving, they asked if i wanted to come in later that week and bring james to show him its not a big deal. i did, and he did ok. at my appt, they saw that one of my fillings was chipping, so i needed to make a return appt. that brings us to today. jake was at school, so i had to bring both the boys with me. got there and of course they were behind. just before they called me back, my friend Cristy popped in for her appt. chatted with her and she offered her ipod touch for james to watch a movie while i was in my appt. WHAT A SWEETIE! so, i go into the room, get james situated with Madagascar and i start my appt. then, james was being a terd and didnt want to watch the movie anymore. one of the dental assistants came in and took him to the toy box and played with him (after asking me if it was ok first) while i did my appt. as i left, i was suppose to pay the difference in what the insurance wouldnt cover ($15, not biggy), but i didnt have my wallet with me. the lady told me not to worry about it and to just pay sometime soon (their policy is pay at time of service, so that was a big deal i thought). so, i guess the moral of my story is, the people at my dentist office are BEYOND sweet and its so wonderful to know that you have friends around.

YAY! :-)
