My Boys

Here are some pictures of my boys! They are the cutest ever, I am so lucky :)

Jonathan got to feed James a bottle the other night, and it was so cute because James was holding onto Jonathan's fingers the entire time.

James and his Daddy enjoy some fun study time together this morning. James is practicing up for when he'll be in school. What a smart boy!

Notice Jonathan's hair - this was taken this morning before I cut his hair!

Our "Lil Hero!" I just got this outfit for James. I couldn't resist because it was so cute, and very cheap! Mervyn's had a huge sale and I got him a bunch of clothes for about $2 each! He is one stylin' little boy.

James is MY hero, because he is starting to sleep longer at night! The other night I fed him at 10:30 and then we went to bed. When he woke up in the night, I woke up feeling a LOT more rested than usual - so I looked at the clock and it was 4:30! Wahoo! Then the next night he slept from about 9:30 to 4:30! I am liking this a lot :) I never realized, before I was a Mom, how happy I'd be to be able to sleep until 4:30 am.

Here is my cute little guy having some tummy time. He wasn't quite in the mood to roll over or lift up his head much, but as you can see he was VERY content.

James and his Daddy having a nice cuddle this afternoon. It is so nice, after Jonathan's long work/school week, to have a day when they can spend some more time together. This picture was taken AFTER I cut Jonathan's hair -
doesn't he look nice?

Father and son enjoying a book together. (Well, I guess the son is asleep, but that's ok.) We're startin' him early, he's gonna be a smart kid! :)

Buddies

James and his Daddy are great buddies! They are my boys! James loves being with his Daddy, and Jonathan is great at making James happy. This is going to be a pretty busy semester for Jonathan - he is working full-time and going to school full-time, in the evenings (it is his last semester at BYU! He will graduate in April, and is going to school at the BYU Salt Lake Center this semester).

He just got his very first full-time job! He works for a company called Alpine Technical Services, and his official job title is "Engineering Service Technician." Sounds pretty important, huh? Yeah we thought so too! He can tell you more about what he actually does at his job, but as far as I understand it, it has a lot to do with chemicals and water purification and reverse osmosis and all kinds of random stuff like that. So far he loves it! (Today was his second day - we'll see how it goes from here!) He has loved all of his chemistry classes, and he loves learning new things and doing hands-on kind of stuff, so I think this job is perfect for him.

Anyway, so Jonathan is gone for about 12 hours a day now, so James and I get to be buddies all day long! Sometimes we go over to Grandma's house and hang out with Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Josh (they just live a block away! I can't wait for the weather to warm up to try out James' stroller!). The other day, on Jonathan's first day of work, he got home and said hi to James and picked him up, and James gave him the biggest smile ever! I guess he missed his Daddy and was so happy that he was home!

Here are my cute boys having a nice cuddle.

Father and son!

Here is James in the fleece coat/snow suit thing that my Aunt Bonnie gave him. It is still a little big, but he is growing fast and it actually fits him pretty well!

James likes to hang out with his Uncle Josh - here they are having some tummy time together! Look how much a little boy grows up in 16 years! I can't believe that James will be that big someday. By the way, you gotta love James' striped green fleece pants. They were a hit with Grandpa, who was laughing about how silly it would look if GROWN-UPS wore clothes like that!

James loves his uncle!

James and Mommy - I was trying to take a picture of the two of us. We were playing on our bed while Daddy did his homework, so I was trying to take some pictures of both of us myself. The only problem was that James kept looking at me instead of the camera!


I think he is punching his Mommy in the eye and trying to lick or bite me, but I don't think he meant it. He loves me, really!

This one turned out pretty good! It looks like he was copying me, how I was holding up my arm with the camera.
Me and my baby!

Sweet Baby James - in a cute outfit my friend Mandy gave me! So today I got out this box of "bigger" clothes that I had been saving for James - and he already fits into half of them! He's six weeks old today, and he is beginning to fit into the 3-6 month clothes already! What a big boy!
