Happily at Home

wow, look at the teeth on that shnappar, alright i know this insn't baby James, but some people wanted to see some of the fresh water salmon that his papa caught. Jame Kelley has a better one on his camera i'm going to try to get. - oh and this picture is also a foreshadowing of part of James' life.

Well, here is a picture of the Pie that papa made. It tasted better than it looked, actually it was the best ever. Grandma Julie made the apple filling though. (let's see if you can see what i forgot to do to it-there is a hint in the picture).

oh my, here we have two little cousins (Dusty and Lauren's Ella and James) resting peacfully in baby James' swing. Both wearing their little swadlers to ensure that they won't wiggle around and wake eachother up.

This picture was taken by his papa, (and cropped). It is James' first shower. He didn't even cry a bit and liked the warm water that his papa sprayed all over him. He's so happy because he has never felt so clean.

after his shower, baby james felt all tuckered out (not exactly uncommon for him to feel this way- he gets tuckered out a lot- especially after he eats). so he fell fast asleep swinging gently in his swing.

Ok that was fun, but let's go home.

We were so thankfull to have Grandma Julie there to help, and we all had fun together.

Here we have the proud father with his new son, oh and the son really likes it dark, so he's sorry about the video beeing dark.

One happy Family.

baby george feels very at home in the quilt his Grandma George made him, and momma is looking a lot better at the prospect of going home.

Finally after our long journey - the entire family returned home at about 3:00 and nap time went into session.

The New Addition of Little Baby James

Here we have Megan waiting paciently as baby James is beeing extracted from her tummy (but she can't fee it - mostly).

Meanwhile her husband was dessed in his delivery garb, and watching to ensure that the doctors did eveything right. He then got to see his son (first) and was able to cut the umbilicle chord.

Following the delivery, baby James was taken to the nursery for his first real physical. He passed with no problems, and then got vaccinated, measured (20 in.), and weighed (7lbs - 5 oz). the reason the he frowned was because he recieved 1 shot in each thigh. -- then he was bathed.

After the beautiful new mother returened from recovery the happy new family was finnally able to bond together and little James.

Notice the manly blue cap -hand picked by his papa.

Then the new responsible Father changed the first black poopy diaper and eveyone rested blissfully.

Christmas this year was quiet because Josh and I couldn't go home for Christmas so we stayed here in Laramie. We both would have liked to be in the action of all the activites in Cody but since baby George was due to arrive Christmas Eve we decided it would be better to stay. Little did we know that we could have gone home and come back because he still hasn't decided that it is time to come. Tomorrow morning I will be induced so by Monday night or Tuesday we will finally get to meet our new little one. Here are a few pictures.
