Cowboy James

This week my Nanny Jackie took this picture of me. She is studying to be a professional photographer and likes to use me as a model. I think I'm cute enough! Jackie is super great and I have lots of fun with her during the day.
(Disclaimer: this picture does not indicate that I am an OSU fan, I've got my hands full figuring out if I'm a Wildcat, Badger, Buffalo or Husky.........)

Happy Mornings

Now that Mommy is back at work we have our special together time in the morning. I get to cuddle in the big guy bed while I yawn (as you can see) and slowly wake up. I am usually full of smiles in the morning. On Wednesday Mom had to go to Chicago so I got to have big bed time with Daddy. Oh happy mornings!

Me and my Jumperoo

My jumperoo is one my new favorite toys. I love the spinning sun and the pop up tiger. I can kick my legs against the telephone book that Mom & Dad put under my feet because I am not tall enough to reach the ground. I LOVE to stand! Grandma tells me its because I am getting my legs in shape for skiing and hiking in the future, I agree.

First Trip to Wisconsin

I had my first trip back to the homeland. It was a quick trip but I got a feel for the Fox Valley and was able to give my Aunt Claud shout-outs in person. I hung with my Nana, Grandpa, Grandma and Opa some more and met more special people including my Great G&G Reinke, Uncle Peter and cousins, Anna & William. I can't wait to go back at Christmas time and meet the rest of the family!

Someones Been Sleeping In My Bed

I went to lay down for my nap today and found Leo in my pack-n-play so I got to take a nap on Mom & Dad's bed instead.

Almost 12 Weeks

With nearly 12 weeks under my belt its pretty amazing how much I've grown. I was 13 lbs, 9 oz last week. We haven't measured my height in a while but based on my clothes I'd say I've passed the two foot mark. Last week I found the TV (football holds my attention the longest!). I love looking at my hands and feet - I'm not sure if I'm the one controlling them yet, but when they move I love it! I'm getting ticklish, enjoy music and being sung to. I strongly dislike my carseat right now. I continue to like catnapping throughout the day, I'm afraid if I sleep more than 45 minutes I might miss something. I LOVE my Baby Bjorn, standing (with help from mom & dad) and my bouncy seat. My jumperoo is pretty fun too but I need a phone book under my feet to help me out.
