New Discoveries.....

JT just gets cuter every day....

He discovered the grandfather clock yesterday.  He was so cute - he just stared and stared at it.  I am sure he was thinking "hmmmm, so that is where that sound is coming from" and probably making plans to try to climb it some day soon.  Today, he discovered three more things.... first, he discovered my lip and showed me what a great grip he has.  Boy is he strong.  Later, he finally discovered his feet.  I was wondering when he would discover those cute little toes.  And tonight, he discovered the kitties tail.  (poor kitty ~ please don't anyone tell PETA!)

He is sitting a lot now - he usually uses a toy or boppy for a little extra support.  When we try to lay him down - he struggles and struggles to try to sit back up.  For the last couple days, he has wanted to stand a lot.  His legs are getting stronger and stronger.


He still has not rolled over on his own, but he is starting to do a lot of belly crawling.

He still cries a lot - but now, I can only snap one picture of his sad face... once he sees the flash he instantly stops crying and looks at me like he is posing. 

Today, I put him in his portable swing, the lights were only working on one side.  He looked kind of sad about it..... I told him that it was OK that only half the lights worked.....

Obviously.... I was wrong...
I guess mommy is discovering a few new things too....

Time..... it sure does fly.....

Somebody slow down the clocks!  My baby is growing WAY too fast! 
JT has been a busy little boy the past month!  At 3 1/2 months, he is a whopping 16 pounds!  It makes me really sad to have to put clothes that he has never worn in the give away pile :(
He wore his first pair of shoes!  Ralph Lauren Tennis shoes ~ courtesy of Auntie Pam

He got a nice box filled with goodies from Connecticut.  3 Ralph Lauren outfits, 2 Kenneth Cole outfits, 7 books, and two really cool noise making toys!


He continues to develop his own little personality ~ and I am thinking that Chris and I may be in trouble



Chicks really dig him ~ I cannot seem to stop kissing that cute little face ~ He has me wrapped around his little finger

He now has an excesaucer and a jumpy thingy that he absolutely LOVES

While he roots for Alabama (Roll Tide), he is a Marshall fan at heart and bleeds green (Go Herd)

He continues to get stronger every day....

And cuter every day too!

He got to meet his Grandpa Herwig! ~ The 3 James Herwigs... James Arthur, James Christopher and James Thomas

He giggles a LOT ~ even in his sleep!

He was blessed at church on April 10th and blesses Chris and I every day with his love and presence.
