Jameson loves saying "bye", and I think he's starting to get the idea, since he says it more when we leave a room, and today he went to the door and started saying "bye" just as Nathan was getting his stuff ready to go to work.
I had forgotten I had taken these pictures, because I had to put down the camera in a hurry, but when I uploaded to the computer today, I had quite the treat. We had the carseat inside, and Jameson loves playing with it when it's in here.
I thought the base was stable enough, but I guess I was wrong.
He's fine. He didn't even hit his head. He actually paused, looked around, started to coo, then put his head down and bawled. I'll make sure the carseat us up against a wall from now on, though.
Little kiddos aren't supposed to have peanut butter to avoid developing allergies, so I decided to get some almond butter for Jameson. I gave him some on a plate with little bits of a whole wheat bagel.
I don't know why I expected him to get the idea of "dipping" right away.
Yum, this makes my fingers taste good!
Jameson got to go to Philip's birthday party with Grandma, and Aunt Billie fed him banana.
Hey, what did you get? And why am I not the center of attention right now?
This morning Nathan took Jameson and let me sleep, but when I woke up Nathan had fallen back asleep on the couch. What mischief was Jameson getting into?
Hey Mom, the window is pretty cool!
Don't worry, I've obviously done this before, look how easily I get down!
Well, that's what Grandma and I decided today. I gave him a sippy cup with milk, and he crawled around with it. I don't think I'll do it again, since we ended up with milk all over the floor. But he liked it!
I found this quilt in the stuff brought down from Colorado. I made it my senior year of high school. I really wish I had had it when Jameson was born, but it's wonderful to have now!
Can you see the steggy I sewed in there?
He's starting to get better at eating with a spoon. Not very good, but better.
He spent last evening with Grandma and Grandpa, and discovered music. This guitar thing is fascinating. The fact that he doesn't go right after the camera tells me he was really interested in that sound!

Jameson had quite a birthday. I made a big cake. We ended up with a lot left over!
Of course Jameson got his own cake.
But before cake, he had to open presents. Other people have lots of pictures of him opening gifts, so if you have those let me know!
And now for cake! We sat him in his chair in just a diaper so he could get all messy, but at first he just poked at the cake.
Aunt Leah tried to show him that the cake was food.
Starting to get it, but distracted by the spoon.
Ooh, food!
We filled up the splash pool in the backyard to clean him up.
He was pretty tired by this point, so he wanted to put his head down.
Cuddling with Grandma all clean!
We went back inside, and Heather gave him one last gift. But he wasn't too thrilled with it. That's okay, I'll take it.
But the bag is fun!
Climbing up Leah.
Relaxing with Dad. Someone gave him a "marshmallow cannon", aka a slingshot. We'll have to hid that.
I purposefully put up the streamers so Jameson could play with them. He liked it!
As I get more pictures from everyone else, I'll post more. Here's a video -- having fun with the cake (the floor was a mess!) and playing with a gift bag.
