All I want for Christmas...

All I want for Christmas is for James to get his two front teeth on the top! James hasn't been sleeping too well and a little fussy in the carseat the past week or so and I can't figure it out but now I am thinking and hoping that it is teething. His gums are so swollen that it must be! But I have thought that before and no teeth. I am really hoping they make their appearance this time so he can go back to his amazing sleep habits!

Let's see... other fun in the land of James...
- James and I went to the mall yesterday to see Santa!!! After waiting in line for an hour, James fell asleep in my arms with one person left in front of us. I proceeded to put James asleep in Santa's arms and he quickly woke up and SMILED! I was afraid that he would wake up crying but he was great! Good boy!
- James is pulling up on everything! He pulled up to stand on my leg for the first time yesterday which was so cute! He is also starting to do more cruising and can move from standing holding on to one surface to the other. So much fun!
- James is having a great time with Christmas already! He has gotten pretty good at this wrapping paper thing, especially when Mommy is trying to put it on the presents! Thus far he has gotten a red wagon from his Auntie Michellie and Uncle Gary which is so much fun! He got a Radio Flyer rocking horse from Great Granny House, a zebra riding toy from Grammy Connie, a basketball hoop (James size, of course) from Grandpa Dave, a music table from Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Whichard, and lots of fun other stuff! I am hoping that the next present will come with a storage shed so we have room for all these fun new toys!
- Now this one I have been meaning to mention for a while but keep forgetting, James is getting quite skilled at locking me out of his room already! Aren't I supposed to have a few more years before this happens? James loves to close doors and then lie right in front of them and cry that he can't get out! Crazy kid! Thankfully, I get to the door before he gets it closed completely and can get it back open.
Picture time...

Josh thinks that putting James is this huge gift bag is the cutest thing ever! I guess it is pretty cute!

Okay, I guess James thinks that it is pretty cute too!

Kisses!!!!

Hey Mom! What's up?

I think that I may have already posted this picture but I am too lazy to check so I am going to post it again. The cute little kiddos at our friend's Christmas party!

We are having a great time with James! I just keep saying what a fun stage this is and how fast time flies!!!
