Bakersfield Visit

So we just got home from a 2week visit home. It was a great trip home we all had lots of fun.

We started the visit of with my birthday YEAH 21!!! We went out to dinner at Hungry Hunter and had a great time. My wonderfully parents then took a sleepy James home so I could go out with friends. We partied hearty at Logins. It was great to get to hang out with everyone.

Later on in our visit home we got to meet none other than the Dog Whisperer himself Cesar Millan! He was in town with the Bakersfield Animal Control, sadly Noah had gotten out of the yard and bit a jogger a few weeks back. He was to be quarantined to the back yard for the rest of his life but Cesar was able to give my mom some GREAT tips and Noah will be a happier safer dog for it. Cesar was a very nice man it was so cool to meet him. Travis made fun of Erica, Mom and me for being so existed! Cesar thought James was just a doll... as you can tell he held him for almost every picture.

Mom made the joke that after Cesar helped Noah with his aggression Papa helped her with hers. We went out to a friends ranch to go SHOOTING!!! It was so much fun mom and I rode the quad and I taught her to shoot a rifle.

How we spent Valentines Day!

We spent most of the day taking some great 3month pictures of James. Here is the link if you want to take a look. http://www.fototime.com/inv/69223524C6E4B02

He gets mad at the end but he is getting so strong!

James 3months

Well here is a little update on James. He is now 12lbs and almost 3months old. He has already DOUBLED I cant believe how fast he is growing. I am still cloth diapering even though Grandma Sindy keeps saying I will give up. James has started holding his head up pretty well when he is on his tummy. He still loves his bath time and I cant wait till it warm enough to take him kayaking. Here are some pictures of the last month.Great Grandma King finally got to meet James.

Hes giving me the "your Crazy mom" look.

Bath Time!

Well I think I have a future swim champ on my hand he loves bath time. Here are some cute pictures of him in the tub and out.

He like to stick his tounge out at his Daddy.

Today we also had almost 4in of SNOW yes I said snow!!! I move out of Alaska to get away from that stuff guess it followed us here. LOL! Here he is all boundled up to go to the park to let the dog play in the snow.Had to wait till this morning to get a good picture of him in the snow.

He look so exsited. LOL My little snow angel.

I walked in to pick him up from his nap to find him and his loving kitty relaxing together.

They Grow Up Too Fast

James is now 1month old and is weighing in at 8lbs. Last night was the first time he slept in his room. It was so weired not having him right next to me in his bassinet were I can check on him all I want. I think he got more sleep then I did because I couldn't stop worrying that I wouldn't hear him cry.

Well he made it through the night (much better than me) and actually slept for 4 hrs strait which was GREAT!

Napping in his crib.

He is starting to smile when you talk to him and is really big on kisses. He tries to suck on any part of your face you put close to him.
