James' 8 Month Pictures

James is on the MOVE.  As you can see from the pictures, he doesn't sit still for very long.

James' Baptism

James was baptized on July 27, 2014 at Holy Infant.   

 This face sums up Thomas' behavior during the Baptism.  In his defense, it was a long day.  Thanks to Granddaddy for helping him make it through.

 James did a great job and didn't cry at all. 

 Thomas thought it was James' birthday.

Thanks to Katie, Dave, and Emily (Lady) for being James' Godparents!

Model Pose

James did this model pose every time he would stop crawling which wasn't very often.

7 Months

James briefly clapped and waved this month.  However, he quickly abandoned practicing these skills to focus on pulling up!  This kid is on a race to keep up with his brother.  Thomas told me when James can walk, we aren't going to stop at the mailboxes (Thomas has to stop at the mailboxes when we go for walks).  I am in big trouble.

 LOOK AT THOSE TEETH!

Thomas at 7 months!

 

Iowa 2014

We also had fun in The Iowa.  Thomas loved the parade and made train and siren noises the whole time.  The parade had all of his favorites... trains, tractors, trucks, fire engines, and horses. 

 

Action shot!

James did well at the parade too.

 



Thomas loved the fireworks again this year.  A boy in the crowd gave Thomas a light up sword which was also a highlight.  He still talks about it.  James made it about half way through.
