Almost there...

I am trying really hard to crawl. I can get around pretty good without it though. I just roll to where I need to get to. I can also push myself backwards. Pretty soon, I will be moving like crazy, and then Mom better be on her toes to keep up with me!

Finally...

a picture of my teeth. Not a very good one, but one just the same.

My first big snow!

It is December 8, 2009 and these are photos were taken about 1:30 PM. It is supposed to snow through tomorrow morning and later tonight the winds are supposed to pick up and the temperatures drop making for blizzard conditions. This is the first big snow event I have seen. I wasn't too fond of being outside in this. I am staying inside with Mom and Dad!

The First Thanksgiving

No, it is not 1621, and we are not pilgrims, but it is my first thanksgiving. It was a time when Mom, Dad and I sat down and gave thanks to God for His provision throughout the year, just like the pilgrims did in 1621. This is one of the religious holidays declared by Congress to be Federal Holidays.
As you can see from the table, God provided generously as He always does. I could only eat sweet potatoes for my first thanksgiving dinner as you see in the picture but next year I am going to get after the whole meal.
And that tree you see in the background, that is for the celebration of the other religious Federal Holiday, Christmas. Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus was God's gift to man.
Didn't mom do a great job decorating the tree and with the meal?
See you next time!

High Chair

Well, today starts a new chapter in my life. I am getting ready to eat cereal on a consistent basis. Due to my mom being pregnant, she will need help supplementing my food supply and that is where the cereal comes in. Day one went very good. I hope it wasn't beginners luck. I am kind of tired now, I think I am going to take a nap. Don't I look like a king on my throne in this picture?

I am going to be a big brother!

We just got the news this Friday, 11/20/2009, that I am going to be a big brother. I hardly have had time to be a little brother, and now I am going to be a big brother. Some of our friends that have had siblings close together say that they become best friends due to being born so close together. I will tell you more, when I know more.
Here are some recent pictures of me at 4.5 months. I have two teeth, but they are just barely breaking the skin. When you can see them better, I will get a picture posted.
Love,
James

Another step...

Today, I (James Nathanael Gaiser) took another step in my growth. I started to eat baby cereal. It was pretty runny, but I liked it! It was the whole wheat kind. I was sleeping through the night, but for some reason I stopped and my mom was not getting enough sleep so she and dad decided to give this a try. It must have worked, I slept from 9:30 PM to 3:30 AM. Not too bad for a little feller' huh?
