Mommy Turns 30 :-)

Well, I hit the big 3-0 over the weekend and survived -- WHEW! James was feeling a little punky from his shots still and wasn't sleeping great (from the flipping onto his belly previously blogged about) so it was a long weekend, but so much fun! Pops came up Saturday morning to see us because GG had two concerts to work and then a pretty solid group of people came to hang and celebrate -- it was great! Thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes :-) I look forward to a great 4th decade with all my lovely family and friends!

My bug and I on my birthday -- Jimmy got me an HD video/still picture camera so I can take some sweet videos and pictures to post on here of James as he grows up -- thanks Bub!

James was quite happy on the activity mat for a long time. He is totally obsessed with his fingers and hands - they are constantly in his mouth and it's really gross as they often end up on your face and slime you. What a cute outfit too! Cassie got a birthday present for me for James, hehe, and it was SO CUTE -- it has a big orange crab on the booty -- adorable!On Monday, we were joined by Gma Chele and Uncle John at Kampai, a Japanese teppanyaki restaraunt (like Benihana) to celebrate Gma Chele and my birthdays (our b-days are 2 weeks apart). There was lots of action from the chef, so James enjoyed watching. He had his normal "Mom and Dad are trying to eat dinner" radar on, so we took turns walking/bouncing him as the other scarfed their yummy food (good thing I don't generally mind cold food, eh).
