Brave Boy

I took my big boy to a routine blood draw today. He sat right on my lap the whole time and just watched them take his blood. I held his free arm down expecting him to try and grab at the nurse but he didn't even flinch! He sat there in AW of what they were doing. He didn't cry or even make a peep. He just sat there like he had done it a million times before. I couldn't be more proud of my little man. We had to run to the store to pick up a couple things so I decided he needed a little treat for being so amazing.

Since he loves to color so much and I never have anything nice for him to color with I got him his first coloring book and his very own crayons.

I think this kid would color all day if I would let him. He is so great at sharing I got to help him color his picture.

I am so proud.... <3

What A Weekend

Finally I can write about our busy busy but oh so fun weekend. We had Jake's cousin Elton and his wife Kandice stay with us, while running off to a birthday party, a wedding, and going to visit Nana and Papa.

Saturday was a double whammy. Jameson and I headed up to Grass Valley for Miss Brooklynn Rose's first birthday party. I was so nice visiting with friends I haven't seen in some time. I was very sad that we had to leave before she opened her presents or ate her cake but at least we got to celebrate with her for a couple hours. Once we left we booked it to my parents house so that we could get ready. I was really hoping Jameson would take a little nap that was not going to happen. I got ready as fast as I could and with my moms help getting Jameson ready I showed up to my brother-in-laws wedding as soon as they were starting. I was so stressed out that we were not early but at least we made it before they started walking down the isle. Jameson looked so cute all dressed up, everyone was so happy to see him and hold him I barley was able to see my son all night. The wedding was so beautiful. I have never attended at wedding ceremony other than my own. I felt so blessed to be there to share their special day. My hubby didn't look half bad either, I felt so bad that he had to hobble down the isle, but it was something everyone could laugh at.

Sunday Jake wanted to take Elton and Kandice four-wheeling, and since I still don't feel comfortable taking Jameson, J and I went to visit Nana and Papa. They took us the the Draft Horse Classic in Grass Valley. My dad thought it would be a great idea since Jameson loved the little horses at the fair. This was even better. We walked around and saw all sorts of horses. Jameson fell in love with one. He was tugging on his ear and petting him, then got sad when we moved on to see the other horses. He also got to sit on a miniature horse (Bus), it was so cute because Bus was the perfect size for Jameson. Nana and Papa even bought Jameson his very own horse, we named him Douglas.

Needless to say it was nice to just lay low today. We spent sometime outside and took some nice long naps. And while I ran off to the chiropractor for just a few minutes, Jameson decided he was going to say his first word.... "mama" Jake says he said it three times clear as day and was very satisfied with himself afterwards. I can't believe I missed it. I just wish we could get him to do it again.

Sitting Tall

So as we spent a majority of our day in the backyard just enjoying the lovely weather outside, Jameson decided to show me that he is able to sit up on his own.... for about one minute! He sits up solid for about 60 seconds then all of a sudden gets really wobbly and then flops over. He thinks it is funny and giggles when he falls, well most of the time anyways.

He is just so handsome I can't get over it. He is growing so fast, every new little thing he does just makes me more proud.
