James is doing great. No major concerns at this point. We'll see his urologist this coming Wednesday. I'll post after that visit.
Sorry for the short post. I'm quite sick today. Going back to bed now.

Monster
Lauren made a funny noise Sunday night after we left.
Amy: Are you a chicken?
Lauren: I'm a monster!
Amy: What kind of monster are you?
Lauren: James.
We went to Trey's house this weekend. Spent Father's day with my dad. We went swimming on Saturday at their community pool. Had the whole place to ourselves for most of the time. James got to play with Lauren and Maggie (the beagle). They are both so big now. Mostly we just hung out and ate good food. We gave Lauren her birthday presents. I can't believe she'll be two this week. Oh, and James is a monster, I guess.
James turned 6 months on Friday and was supposed to have his 6 month appointment, but Dr. Amy was at a conference, so we'll do that on Wednesday. I'll let you know the results of that later this week.
I'll be posting to Picasa today I hope.

Crawling and Superman!
Yes, James started crawling this week!! Ok, so it's a poor excuse for crawling. It's more like wiggling and scooting forward to get to his new Tonka truck, but he's moving across the floor, so I call it crawling. I guess I shouldn't be surprised to have such a strong baby, seeing as I'm married to Superman and all. Oops, maybe I shouldn't have said that. Oh well, I think all of you have figured it out by now. How do I know he's superman?...what proof do I have? Well, only superman could have made this last weekend so amazing. Only superman could have made our lawn look so lovely while also cooking dinner for me two nights in a row (one of those was steak by candlelight). He also took care of James and got him to bed on Sunday night while I went to a meeting and let me stay in bed until 10:00 Monday morning. I don't know how long it's been since I've done that. What a guy!

Surgery
Melissa just let me know that I said the word surgery and didn't explain myself. James was born with a pretty common urological condition called Hypo-Spadias. It's not a huge deal, but it does have to be fixed. This is his urologist's website: http://www.childrensurology.com/. If you want to know more, click on "Health Care Info". His condition is the first one on the page. His case is not a severe case. It should be an out-patient surgery, so we can take him home that day. I will let you know when the surgery will be once it is scheduled.
Wow, Matt has him laughing hard right now. Soooooo cute.

Tonka, teeth, and mama!
Well, I'm not posting twice a week like I promised. But I only promised I would try.
Matt bought James his first Tonka truck. It's a cute little red dump truck that had 2 and up on the box. But it's really soft for him to chew on and he likes watching it roll around the room. About 15 minutes ago, I left him on the floor chewing on his truck and I went to the bathroom. He started crying pretty quick, but I had to go. So when I had finished my business, I came back to find him throwing a fit and reaching for the truck just out of his reach. So, I pushed it back where he could grab it and he promptly stopped crying and has been chewing on it ever since. Every once in a while he starts fussing again and I turn around to push it back to him and he continues chewing. It must taste pretty good.
No, he doesn't have any teeth yet. But he's working on it. He chews on anything he can get in his mouth and tries to get everything in his mouth, including my toe if it's in reach. His fingers and toes are some of his favorites. He's had little buds on his bottom gums for a while now. So I'm expecting teeth at any time. Does getting the teeth make it better or worse? I hope better. He's pretty clingy and fussy these days.
He said mama this week! But I don't think it counts because he was just babbling and I don't think he knows what he said. Still, it's one of the greatest sounds I've ever heard.
Doctor update: We go to his regular doc on the 18th for his 6 month appointment! Dang, time flies! We go to his Urologist on the 30th. We'll be scheduling surgery as soon as possible after that. yuck.

My first mother's day!!
Was wonderful! On Saturday we went to a tea at the church. Not a tea party, a tea. Tea, on Dictionary.com:
British . any meal, whether a light snack or one consisting of several courses, eaten in the late afternoon or in the evening; any meal other than dinner, eaten after the middle of the afternoon.
Well, it was actually at 11am, but they still called it a tea. We're not British, so we don't have to follow the rules. It was a lot of fun. Good food (lots of sweets), a couple games, and me and my boys. :)
Sunday: Matt got up with James. I slept in late, until 7:45! Matt and James gave me a gold necklace! Went to church, got LOTS of "happy first mother's day" wishes. Got to stand up when they honored the mothers :). Got chocolate. Went out to lunch. Went shopping in Austin. And back home to eat burgers Matt grilled on the porch. whew! Beautiful day! My necklace has a gold heart that says "Mom" with a little diamond in it. Very pretty. I'm wearing it in the pics on Picasa of James with carrots all over his face.
Carrots!!!
Well, James has been eating cereal for a couple weeks now. We started with one meal a day, then 2, then 3. And now we've added carrots!! So much fun. He didn't really like the cereal. He never got the hang of eating it from a spoon. But he likes the carrots a lot. The first day was interesting. He didn't eat very much. But then the next day he had a half of a container. We started Friday and he's been doing great. It gets EVERYWHERE. But it's so cute. He even fusses a little if I take too long. He also likes to get it all over me. We've tried using the Bumbo, but he won't sit up straight. So, I eventually just hold him. I usually have orange goo all over my clothes and face. Ah, the joys of motherhood! I have to feed him in just his diaper now, because we stained a couple of his outfits with the orange goo. One day after feeding him I had to use 5 wet wipes to clean up just the carrots. Total wipes used that diaper change: 8.
