Our Little Babies Are Growing Up!

This was a blog that I had previously written and posted to my Myspace, but I thought that it would be a great place to start updating from. So those of you who have already read it, please enjoy again!

Our little Joshy has just turned 3 months old on December 4th. He is already teething...infact, his two bottom teeth are cutting in and will soon be breaking through! As I'm trying to remember, I'm thinking that James' first tooth broke through at around 4 months...so we will just see what happens. Also, Josh is able to reach out and grab objects! He has been working on it for weeks, and now he can finally do it! We are so very proud of our Josh. He is starting to sleep the whole night long...he slept for 11 hours straight last night!! :-) FINALLY! He's not sleeping like that everynight, but he's working on getting it down just right...these things take practice. Josh is a tummy sleeper,(James was as well) so he tends to scootch his way around in his crib, all the while rubbing off all his hair in the process. Josh loves to laugh, coo, gab, flail about, and smile. He's quite the little heart warmer ♥ and very much an entertainer. Josh also loves to 'copy' facial expressions! He's quite good at it too! Josh is also working on sitting up on his own. He likes to be proped up on the couch so that he can look out at everyone. Standing on your lap is also a favorite passtime of his, not to mention swinging in his little swing. He's eating 6 - 8 ounces a feeding, but likes to take little breaks, so it ends up taking him an hour to finish his bottle...then he's hungry again a couple of hours later. He is also working on turning over.
About our little man James... He will be turning TWO on January 5th! WOW! I can't believe it. James is our big helper. He loves to help with as many things as possible. He gets board very easily so we have to keep him busy with 'jobs'. He is speaking in sentences, has been for a while now. We started him on a reading program a couple of weeks ago, and is doing wonderfully with it! We have also been working on potty training...it's going so much better than we could have ever hoped for! We had started him a few months ago, but when I was pregnant with Josh, there we complications which landed me on bed rest, so James' training was put on hold. We have since then picked it back up. James is a very energetic toddler, as anyone might expect, so we have to keep a close eye on him all the time. He runs everywhere!...so we have to make him hold our hands when we are out and about in public. James has learned to be obedient and of course is still working on it... a life long process! He is a stong willed little man, and not just in the bad things. He is just flat out determined to accomplish his goals. Whether it's trowing something to hit a target, making his voice heard, or fixing something that is broken, I will guarantee you that he will make it happen...even if he gets mad about it and looses his temper in the process. lol! He has quite the temper if I must say so myself..not necessarily a rebellious child, just has a temper that needs reining in....occassionally....lol! James is definantly 'Wild At Heart' and desires for nothing more that to be adventurous. I love watching him play outside. James is also quite an inventer! He loves to 'make' these interesting inventions and show them to us. I'll put it this way, he is really good at making things fit where they shouldn't and putting things in places where you would never have thought to put them before! lol! Of course we have safty plugs in all the electrical outlets, so we don't have to worry with finding thing there. James wants to be just like his Daddy...as do all little boys. As soon as Robby comes home from work, James is stuck to his daddy like glue and won't take ''wait just a minute, I have to take off my shoes'' for an answer. James has truley captured our hearts and we are so proud of him.
I'm sorry for taking so long to update about everything, but life with two babies is very demanding, thus, leaving little time for myself. Well, I guess that's it for now!
