James got really big...

Much to my surprise, James turned 9 months old 2 weeks ago. He had his well baby check-up today. The funny Dr. Macon was very happy with his growth. He is 16lb 15oz and 2' 4.25".


Feeding
We go through about five jars of stage 3 baby food and about 1 1/2 cups of cereal a day, not to mention teething biscuits, puffs, wagon wheels, lil' crunchies and yogurt melts. I occasionally give him bits of what I’m eating. He seems to like toast, peas and chocolate chip cookies.

Sleeping
I am so grateful that he takes two decent naps per day. I am even more grateful that he sleeps through the night.

Milestones
Things are getting pretty interesting in the milestone department. He has a new tooth bringing the total up to 5.

He likes to crawl all over the place. It's hard to keep him still. Also he loves to stand and walk along furniture. All this means that we are always watching him closely because who knows what he'll get into next.

He is now wearing size 3 diapers and size 6-9 months clothes.

Riding the bus

Anthony rode the bus to and from school today. He was so excited he could hardly stand still waiting for it to get to our house. When it did arrive, he was up on the bus and asking where to sit. He got a window seat. I forgot to take pictures so I'll do that tomorrow. When he got home he told me his bus number and told me he has to ride the bus again tomorrow. He is still excited.

Anthony's first day of Pre-School

Today I took Anthony to Pre-School. He was a little scared but ready to meet the other kids.




After school Anthony told me he had fun at school. I asked him if he wanted an after school snack. He told me he wanted cookies. So, we made cookies.

Anthony's miserable

Anthony has told me he doesn't feel good. The little guy is battling a fever and a sore throat. He just lays on the couch napping and watching cartoons.

Anthony got a bear..

Anthony had surgery this morning. He got this little bear to keep him company while he was in surgery. Somehow James got a little stuffed dog. James cuteness gets him many things.
Both the pictures were from before the surgery. After he was so out of it that he just wanted to sleep. So far he is doing great.

School is finally here






OK so school started last week. But it wasn't such a good week. Anthony was sick on Monday. I was sick on Tuesday. And Aaron came home sick from school on the first day. Because of all of this and the fact that the camera seems to hate me, I did not get pictures taken. Today was picture day at school and the kids decided to wear what they wore the first day. So here you go.
My camera still doesn't want to work so I used my phone. Let's see. Aaron is now in 6th grade. And Pam is in 2nd.
Today Anthony had a doctor's appointment to check him out before his surgery on Tuesday. He is getting PE tubes put back in and his adenoids taken out. Hopefully this will be the last time he has to get tubes put in.
And in more Anthony news...on Wednesday he gets to go to pre-school!!! He is so happy and so are Jaime and I.
