James was blessed on March 6, 2011. Above are some pictures that my sister-in-law Lucinda took about a week before. (We love her!) James is wearing his blessing outfit. Our ward began at 9:00am and it was rumored there could be about 7 blessings but there were only 2. We had an awesome showing of family members and some good friends. Karl performed the blessing, how grateful I am to be married to a worthy priesthood holder. James was blessed to be a baby that smiles and other special things.
Afterwards we had a little soup and salad luncheon at our little duplex home. We had borrowed chairs and tables to host it outside but of course it decided to rain and be cold, so we crammed about 40 some people in. Chairs were everywhere even in our bedroom, and you only ate one thing at a time because there was no where to set it. It was a crazy fun experience and I'm glad we did it :) Everyone was so nice and didn't complain and actually stayed to visit for a good time.
These pictures don't do it justice.. :)

Some of this months highlights:
James is starting to splash at bathtime
He has a grip now, grabs my hair (gently so far), our shirts, hands and once a rattle

He was introduced to the swing and was fascinated with the bears!
His hair has grown back on the top of his head
He has rubbed a bald spot on the back of his head, I used to say my baby would never get that because I would hold him so much, but when James falls asleep he rubs his head back and forth quickly and alot!
He got to meet Lance and Allison!!
He started sleeping 7-9 hours 3 nights in a row, now back to 2 feedings a night, oh well...
He weighs 13 lbs, wears size 2 diaper in luvs and is still fitting in his 0-3 month clothes.
He has started attending all 3 hours at church.
He loves the jogging stroller.
He is starting to pick favorites just a little bit and tends to cry a little bit more with his poor daddy!!
He has beautiful long lashes!!!
He likes to eat his hands and the pacifer occasionally but he's not way dependant.
He makes a cute lip smacking noise :)
He tends to snort occasionally, I think due to a constant stuffy nose.
He is cooing and smiling lots more, he still has the lizard tongue.
We sure love our little man!!!
