My camera is back in Minot, so I've had to use my iphone lately to document James' life. Tomorrow he is 16 months old! That sounds so old doesn't it? He definitely is heading toward the terrible two. Between new-found independence, tantrums, and a whole new level of cuteness, two is going to get here before we know it.
I can't remember If I'd blogged his new bed. We haven't started using it yet. Nate got it on First Class for $10. It's hard to think of my baby being old enough for a toddler bed!
Playing outside in the mud. This pic was obviously taken prior to the ND start of winter. Nate finished putting up the wall a few weeks ago, and it looks fabulous. It was a huge project for him, and I'm so proud of him.
I snapped a quick pic of James snoozing on the way back to GF from Minot. We had an interesting last trip back to GF last week. We had our first big winter storm and we ended up going into the ditch. Thankfully we were both alright, but we had the Honda, and were quite stuck in the snow. I ended up having to call my dad for help, and I must have been in quite a panic because he originally thought I said "nate left me and is moving outside of rugby" What I actually said was "Nate's at work and I went into the ditch outside of rugby. I have serious panic attach attacks whenever we drive in the car, especially during the winter, so needless to say, this was quite traumatic for me. We ended up getting pulled out by a recker an hour after we went in. It ended up taking us 6 hours to drive from Minot to GF.
My sweet boy. Having a pajama day.
Me and my baby
This picture is James sneaking a roll of crackers from on top of the counter and quickly shoving them in his mouth as quickly as he can. I was in the kitchen and saw his little fingers feeling on top of the counter until them came upon a sleeve of crackers. He quickly pulled them down and began frantically shoving them in his mouth. You'd think we were starving the kid.
James and I were really sick with the flu a few weeks ago. Here he is taking his temp.
Reading a book with dad.
Playing with new baby Carson at daycare. James is not a fan of kids younger than him that require the attention of Tracy. Hopefully he and Carson can get along for the next month :)
All bundled up to go outside.
Having a mini melt-down. It's a daily thing.
James has newly discovered his bumbo. He barely fits into it, but he has been loving getting it and getting out of it all day long.
Checking out the new sign in the yard!
Another one of James' new tricks :) He climbs into his toy bin to play with his toys.
Yesterday I had a little heart attack. I was sitting on the floor playing with James when all of a sudden I realized he was half-way through the slats on the stairs. I quickly grabbed him out and gave him a swat on his butt. Then, we both cried on the floor. Afterward, I put this little rattle thing on his leg so I could hear him and know where he was at all times :)
James desperately wanted to try on my boots yesterday, so I helped him into them. He thought it was the coolest thing ever.
My sweet 16 month old boy.
House Update:- We found daycare! She is a lovely lady who just started doing daycare this summer so she could stay home with her kids. She has a two year old girl (who James towers over :) and she is pregnant and due in June. She also takes care of a 3 year old and a 4 year old. She gave us a 12 page "manifesto" as Nate called it of Rules of her daycare. Just a little different than Tracy who is so laid back, but she seems very nice and competent, so hopefully it will go well.
- We officially put our house on the market on Friday. If you know our address you can look up the listing. We had a realtor open house today. Hopefully it will sell quickly!
- I applied for a Job at Trinity hospital's Labor and Delivery in Minot and I have an interview over the phone tomorrow. Hopefully it will go well!
- We were informed two weeks ago that our current landlady is selling out church/apartment in Minot. I called IRET the biggest apartment corp in Minot and told them that we needed to get onto a waiting list. They informed me that they didn't do waiting lists and everything was first come, first serve. She told me she would call me back if anything came available today, but basically we just needed to keep calling. We got a call two hours later saying she just had a two bedroom available starting after Thanksgiving! So, we are signing our lease on Tuesday and we will be moving to a real apartment!
- As of right now, I plan to tell Trinity that I can start work after the 1st of the year, so pending me getting a job, we will be officially and completely moving to Minot after the 1st!
- We will keep you updated on our big move, but any prayers would be greatly appreciated!
