Six month check-up

I had my 6 month check-up today, 12/28/09. I am 27" tall and I weigh 16 lbs and 9.5 oz. Dr. McGuffey says I am doing well. He checked my heart and lungs, ears, eyes nose and throat. He moved my legs and watched me move around. He says I am very active and appear to be in good health.

Boxes!

What is Christmas without the boxes. They are always better than the toys!

My first Christmas!

We celebrated my first Christmas on 12/27/09. We were going to celebrate on Tuesday, 12/29/09 when my big brother Jacob was supposed to come, but he got sick and wasn't able to make it. So, Mom and Dad decided to let me open my gifts early. Nana and Papa Heintz got me a realy sweet Buffalo Bills jogging suit and a nice camo short outfit for this summer. I also got an ABC talking book and an aligator that rolls across the floor when you press on his back. His teeth open and close as he rolls too. It is my Mom's favorite. I needed some help in opening the gifts I received, but I am confident that by my birthday, I will have it figured out. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. I sure did! Talk to you soon-James.

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!
