James

Hooray for Smith's Marketplace and their 70% off sale on footie pajamas in size 2 and 3T!!! I LOVE these pj's because James still feels like my baby when he's wearing them! Grandma, he LOVES his pet moose-- it is his little buddy who he can hug, steam roll, lug around the house, and even feed his bottle to. Okay, he tries to do all those things with Daniel as well... my favorite--but not really-- was when I heard some noise in the family room and saw James rolling Daniel across the floor. Poor kid, he's going to be so tough after all the big brother boot camp he's going through. The saddest thing of all: He smiles and laughs during the torture of it all. He just adores his big bro and is happy for any attention he gets.

The other two pics are, again, the pre-church shots. One, because its the cutest and best our kids look all week-- and the ONLY time their hair is styled, and Two, because I love this outfit. Beth, you might notice the sweater. I love it, and he's been wearing it for a good year now. Plus, James has not had a pair of black pants since he's been born... once again, Smith's stepped up and we found these cool cords for $5. Only problem now, he's always had the black shoes but no pants to match. This time he's got the pants but no shoes... it's so hard to coordinate clothing on a budget. Oh ya, and Three, it's his first of many, many itchy and uncomfortable church outfits. Half my pics are of him scratching and pulling at the itchy collar. Whatever.
BTW, yes, often we show up a few minutes late to church because I'm so into taking pics of the cute boys... I guess impromptu photo shoots are something I should just plan on and put into the pre-church budget.
