The Zoo again and a growing James

Last week we had the chance to go to the zoo again with our friends from the ward.

The Alligator

Christopher, Michael and Emma

We got there early enough that the cats were still awake. Yeah!

The Leopard

The Tiger

A miracle - all four kids looking in the same direction.

Emma's favorite - the big ball with water.


James is growing bigger everyday. He weighs over 18 pounds and he is not even 6 months yet. He has Emma beat when she was this age. He is such a good mellow baby. He loves to be talked to and played with and rewards anyone who does such with a huge smile.

Ready for football season.

Big smiles!

James was very jealous one night while we ate dinner so I tried some pears out on him. The doctor said we could skip cereal and go straight to fruit so we can avoid any constipation issues but I think he was not quite ready for the flavor.

Cute but we will try again in a little while maybe with something a little more tame like oatmeal.
