Watson Family: September 2009

These are some pictures from James's second Birthday Party. He was a little sick that day but still managed to have the energy to swim in the pool all day, eat his yummy ice cream cake, and play with all of his new toys. We had the party and great Grandpa and Grandma Lang’s house we were accompanied by Grandpa Tim, Grandma Shari, Cousin Madison, Uncle Robert, Robert's girlfriend Sasha, and Uncle Steve. James got some new books, two new DVD's, a vacuum cleaner from great grandma, and a whole kitchen set from grandma Shari. I got teased quite a bit about wanting a little kitchen for him, but I am glad I withstood the criticism because he absolutely loves his kitchen. He spends a lot of time playing with it. Thank you everyone for the wonderful gifts for him and for making his birthday a really special day.

This was Emily's first time eating cereal. She was a little apprehensive at first but very quickly grew to love it. Every time I get it ready for her she starts kicking her feet and laughing. She always eats the full amount I make her and sometimes wiggles for, she usually finishes her second helping as well.

I vow from this momment on to be a better blogger. It's not that I don't have plenty of things to post about, it's just finding the time to do it. The computer is in my bedroom now so I can't post when Emily is sleeping. I did however move the computer so I have a view of the living room this should hopefuly make a difference because I will now be able to see what James is up to while I am on the computer. Things are good for us since we moved, the area we live in is great and we have the added blessing of being able to see Grandpa and Grandma Lang on a frequent basis. We love going over their for dinner and hanging out at their pool. We are very blessed to have them so close and for them to spoil us like they do. (Thank You Grandma & Grandpa)

The kids are doing very good...

James:

Just turned 2 years old
He is talking like a maniac, He wakes up taking and doesn't stop until he goes to bed. (Sometimes he even talks in his sleep)
He loves swimming and is fearless when it comes to the water.
He loves the beach, and now that we live closer he gets to go atleast once a week, He has started to enjoy wading in the water and jumping over waves.
He is now fully potty trained except for at bedtime
He wears big boy underwear with Elmo and Diago on them, He picked them out himself.
He is really into stickers, coloring, play-doe, and cooking (He got a play kitchen from Grandpa Tim and Grandma Shari and he totally loves it.)

Emily:

She is 5 months old now and weighs 14lbs
She smiles all the time! I have never know a baby to smile as much as she does.
She can sit up if her hands are on the floor to support her
She rolls over and uses that as her mode of transportation
She loves to stand up (Someone holding her of course)
She just started eating cerial and will start her veggies next month
She too loves to go in the water, and enjoys making the water splash
She loves her big brother even though he isn't always that nice to her, she always has smiles and laughs when he comes around.
She is not the best sleeper, she still wakes up about 2 times a night wanting a full feeding; occationally she will let me sleep until 4:30am but that is a rare occation.

I love my kids, I feel so blessed to have them in my life even when they don't sleep or they are bratty. They truly are wonderful spirits! Here are some pictures from the last few months... Enjoy!
