Visiting

Aunt Leah came over to play, but Jameson was tired. For some reason she decided to wrap him up in a pillow. He liked it!


He also ahold of my tape measure. It's so fun!


Naked baby!


Leah invited us to watch a movie at Aunt Christina's. Their cat, Pirate, was quite interested in Jameson.


Jameson was interested in her as well.


Aunt Leah gave him a spoon and he pouted about it.


He wormed his way over to find out what the big fuzzy thing was. The dog was so tired and didn't want to move, so he kept flipping his ear away.


And then he returned the favor. Jameson had already had his face licked, so he was a little scared of the dog.


Aunt Liz is lots of fun!


Sunday we went up to Phoenix to see William.


Uh-oh, another dog! Tatum gave Jameson one good lick, then stayed away the rest of the day.


We were up in Phoenix so Nathan could go to Cabela's. Jameson and I had a nice lunch in their cafe. I gave him pieces of bread and lettuce, and he knew where to go for more.


On the way back home, we stopped at a friends house for a St Patrick's Day party. One couple had their little girl there. She was born two days after Jameson, but she is already pulling herself up to stand.


And look, she's crawling for real!


But Jameson's still sweeter!


Boy, was he happy to be home and sleep in his own bed!

Ye Olde Geek Fest

On Saturday Jameson experienced his first long car ride up to the renaissance festival. He slept most of the way up and was very excited to get out into his stroller. So excited that he spit up on his shirt.


After a shirt and diaper change, we went to watch the "knights" "jousting". Jameson loved his hat, but didn't see why we kept putting it on his head. I did put a lot of sunscreen on him, so he didn't get nearly as tan as Nathan and I did.


My glasses are still a favorite toy.


He got a little overwhelmed with all the people and needed to cuddle for a while. That thumb does wonders to calm him down.


After the "jousting" we all got lunch, and Jameson ate two containers of food. He was very hungry.


Christopher's brother, Johnathan, liked playing with Jameson, and shared his sunglasses.


Wow, everything is so bright now!


We spent a lot of time hanging out in the grass where everyone else shopped and played games. Jameson liked my water bottle.


A power nap while we watched the falconers.


Heather wanted to make a candle, and Jameson liked the ribbons.


Hanging out on the grass again. There were at least a dozen men in kilts behind him, and even one man in a skirt. Seriously, a skirt. But Jameson was much more interested in the grass and leaves.


On our way out.


We went into Phoenix to have dinner with Sean. I don't think the wait staff understood how young Jameson was, and they brought him crayons. We let him play with the placemat and was perfectly happy with that.

Christopher and Heather found a shop selling all sorts of wood toys at the fair and bought Jameson a little police car. He loves it. He actually was loving the noise it made when he slammed it on the wood table. It's a very well made little car.


Getting sleepy with Dad.

Here is a little group of videos that shows how mobile Jameson is getting. A few minutes before I took this video, Jameson was on the blanket behind me, and Jasmine was asleep on the couch. But Jasmine found a lizard and Jameson wanted to see. The second part is from this morning. Jameson has been crawling all over trying to find wires. He knows they tend to lurk near the walls. I don't know why he likes them so much. I guess it's officially time to baby proof.

Bath Time

A few days ago Jameson slipped in the tub and ended up on his stomach. I was about to put him back up to sitting, but he really enjoyed this new way of playing. He liked eating the dolphin.


And octopus.




The police duck tells us if the water is too hot. For some reason Jameson doesn't try to grab at it, but likes watching it. I love how his hair floats in the water here.


Jameson isn't even close to crawling, but he creeps along on his tummy well enough to get where ever he pleases. Yesterday he wanted the cat.


Jasmine was pretty freaked out about him being so close, but the bar seemed to stop him.


And the bouncer distracted him.


I'm playing around with iMovie, and made a conglomerate video from the bath time and of Jameson playing with grandma. I just love the videos from the bath. He was trying so hard to move and get those toys, but he couldn't get any traction. His face shows how determined he is to get them! Towards the end he was getting frustrated and wanted to suck his thumb and rest his head. But he knew he couldn't. When I turned off the camera I helped him get back up into the shallower area and he played with his toys for another 5 minutes. (I don't know why the video is showing up twice.)

Jameson Wants to Learn

Jameson and I walked up to the middle school to see Grandma and Aunt Leah on Friday. Jameson like wearing his cool camo hat, but he cried the minute the sunglasses went on. So he just chewed on them the entire way up.


First we visited a teacher tutoring a few students and holding another teacher's grandbaby. The other baby is about 2 months old. Jameson was fascinated.


We peeked into another classroom. There are so many people! Jameson wants to go inside.


So big! He sat up very well, and almost got into standing. He wanted that folder so bad!


Then we went to see Aunt Leah in her classroom. Here Jameson shows off a recently learned skill -- pouting out his lower lip.


We found the mom of the other baby, and we traded. I got to hold the tiny little baby, and she got to toss Jameson around and say she couldn't wait 'til hers was this big!


We tried to get a shot of both babies.


But Jameson wanted those pigtails!


So he just got to hang out with Grandma and Leah.


Last night Nathan get his new work gear out and tried out the hat for size.


It's a little big, but Jameson doesn't mind.


He still loves his bouncer!
