Just a couple pictures...

Jim had a lot of fun playing in his pool on Sunday! It took him awhile to get into it - but once he did he had a blast splashing around! At first he was more fascinated with our broom and his lawn mower.

I took these pictures last night of him. He was pretty sweaty - hence his crazy hair! There was a moving truck across the street - that boy loves trucks! He couldn't take his eyes off of it!

Happy 14 Months!!! + Trip to Pittsburgh

I never did an update for what Jim's been up to at 14 months old! He got to celebrate his 14 months together with his Grandma, Papa, Uncle, and Aunts in Pittsburgh...Which I'll combine that all into this one post.

Everyone had planned to drive down to Pittsburgh that weekend to go to a Pirates game. Our plans were always up in the air because we didn't know where we would be in the house hunting process. Since we ratified our contract on our new place that Thursday the 9th, and home inspection wasn't scheduled until Monday we had nothing to do with house hunting - we made the trip to Pittsburgh as well! Jim did very well the car ride to Pittsburgh - we got in a little after 10:00.

Saturday morning Mom, Dad, myself, and Robbie went down to the Strip District while all the girls stayed back with Jim to spend some quality time with him. We hung out all afternoon, and made our way downtown for dinner and the baseball game. Jim went back home with Grandma and Papa who got to babysit him for the evening!

Jim was wonderful again on the car ride home - practically sleeping the entire time! Much better than him fussing the whole drive.

What Jim is up to at 14 months:

- Still wearing a size 4 diaper.

- Can wear clothes that are 18 months, 24 months, and some 2T's fit him as well.

- Wears a size 6 shoe.

- Since I'm a little behind in posting this - he weighed 25.5 lbs when we were at the DR on the 16th.

- He is full time in the next room at daycare. I think he really enjoys it over there!.

- He knows where his head, belly, feet, and ears are. And he can point out my eyes and nose.

- He did very good when our house was on the market. He must not have known what to think when all his toys were put away. Hopefully he makes the move to the new house just as good!

First trip to the ER

Jim took his first trip to the ER yesterday. He was playing at daycare and got pushed by one of the girls in his room, which caused him to fall into a shelf. I think I made it to him within 10 minutes after I got the call. I wasn't sure what to do with him, so I called up his DR and they said to bring him in, if they couldn't fix it they would send him downstairs. Long story short, we ended up meeting up with Mark and taking Jim to Fairfax hospital since they had a pediatric ER there. He was such a brave little boy!! The only time I saw him cry was when they were trying to get a look at the cut, and when they had to hold him to stitch him up. 2 stitches later and he's as good as new!!!

Jim before the stitches:

At the hospital waiting for stitches -
And a blurry picture with stitches -

Videos

Thought I'd share a couple of videos.

This is of Jim last night - he was cracking up when I would 'Fall Down'. And he was also imitating me spinning in circles. He's a goof!

And I love how he laughs and jumps in this one:

And finally Jim decided to take all my shirts of my dresser drawer, and put it into the laundry basket. How smart is he?!

Paper Towels?!

Jim found our roll of paper towels the other night...Apparently he had a grand old time playing with them!!!! Can you spell Trouble?!?!
