During his happy times of the day (and while not eating), James "talks" my ear off! He has a lot to say too! I've translated the Gerber talk somewhat to know that "uh-goo" means he's in a good mood and that he, of course, agrees with me on whatever topic we are discussing. He'll respond to my talking with him and get really excited. It's amazing to watch him practice using his mouth and lips to form sounds (they come from so deep down and take so much energy and focus to get out, it's crazy) and know that one day he'll figure it out. I am just waiting for him to bust out with "Hey, Mom, how's it goin?" I swear, he's going to skip the "Dada"s and "bah"s and just go to complete sentences with the looks on his face when he's talking it up! Above is a video of him talking to me this morning. He was chatting me up and kind of clammed up once the camera out (I think he is distracted by the red light it makes when it is focusing), so this is the best I could get today to post -- enjoy! :-D

Summer Vacation 2009
We spent last week in Indiana on vacation, so I have lots of blogging to catch up on! I took a ton of pictures, so I just put them all in a slideshow and captioned them up to update faster (I have to economize as I never know how long James will be napping for at any one time). He's actually napping on the sunroom in the Boppy swing right now (yeah, finally) and took about a 45 minute nap IN HIS CRIB (unheard of) earlier today (unfortunately, I only got to go through mail and eat lunch in that time, but at least it was productive). I was planning on blogging when I was at my parents house, but I got caught up reading a book, "Bitter is the New Black" by Jen Lancaster -- friggin' hilarious stuff here people! Jim would often make fun of me because I would just randomly just start laughing out loud when reading :-D I can't wait to read her other books -- her 3rd one came out just a couple weeks ago and has people rolling I guess, woo hoo for good, witty books! Thanks Laura for letting me borrow it!
Saturday :: we went down to Indy and Kasey and Toni came to meet James. Kasey took lots of pictures with her fancy dancy camera -- I'm so excited to see them! She has some real talent there and just clicked away -- even when we were down in the basement hiding because the tornado sirens went off -- such dedication!
Sunday :: I have no idea what we did, but I know Kristen and Larry came over to help get all the food in order for our trip (there's a reason we're not twigs people).
Monday: Jen and Kennedy came for a visit. James practiced sitting in Kay's bebe chair - he did well, just a little lean to the left -- looks like I will have to pull ours out of the box so he can practice sitting up! Kennedy shared her mommy better this time around, but I don't think she's ready to be a big sister just yet:-) Easton went to doggie day care to get evaluated prior to his stay (he did well, whew, and they were happy to let him be kennelled there for the week).
Tuesday :: we packed up and drove down to Eckerty, IN (20 minutes from French Lick, home of Larry Bird, yo). We were staying at a cabin on Patoka Lake, which is a HUGE lake patrolled by the US Army Corp for our first family vacation since Kris and I have been married and the first with James! We got there and after unpacking headed to the pool while GG and Pops got dinner ready and hung out w/ James (the water was a little chilly for him still and he's too little for the swim trunks I bought him). Jimmy and my mom put James on his belly on his activity mat and he was crawling! He really hates tummy time I tell ya! We made him do it again as he was screaming because I wanted to see it (so cool) -- he didn't use his arms (he's not strong enough to push himself up yet) but had his feet in the proper position and was pushing off and then switching legs -- he is gonna be a movin' here soon, I'm sure, I better get my running shoes out)! Then he was too pissed to eat...whoops, should have just waited but I spend so much time with him I get upset when I miss "new" things he does and wanted to see for myself...and he settled down in under 3 minutes, so it's not like he withered away while upset.
Wednesday :: Jim, GG, Pops, James and myself went to the French Lick Winery for some taste testing (James slept through the testing part). They didn't do "tours" but had an observation window (no one was working), so we just enjoyed the tasting and got ourselves 3 bottles to bring home (French Lick Red was sooo good)! Then we drove over to the West Baden Hotel so Mom and I could go in and see the renovations they've done. Back in the day it was a hot spot for travelers because they had mineral springs there -- it was sold to Jesuits after the Depression, then was closed for 70 years...I think they've spent something in excess of $330 million in renovations -- it looks great. The dome inside is one of, if not the, biggest in the world (that's what I heard one of the people reading an information sign inside say at least). I got the family to play Loaded Questions that night (thank you Eddie and Jamie for introducing us to the game) and then GG and Pops babysat as the rest of us hit the casino for a couple hours.
Thursday :: more rain during the day so we didn't get to golf (which was the only thing Jimmy really wanted to do during the week, sorry babe). Dad, Kristen, Larry and Maddie stayed back at the cabin w/ James as the rest of us went back to the casino to get out of the house for awhile. Mom was the big winner -- from $3.02 to $50.37 on one hand of video poker -- must be the "grandma" luck that runs on my side of the family (my grandmother used to call all the time cheering "BINGO BINGO BINGO" on the phone) -- I can't wait to be a grandma if that gene keeps on going! My dad also found that James really loves when he says "Hot Dawwwg" to him...so we only heard it about 4,573 more times that weekend, but the smile he got as a response was well worth it (I tried telling my dad he had to put a nickle in James' college fund each time the rest of us had to hear him say it, hehe, he's so cute w/ James, I love my Dad). It dried out and the boys got a nice campfire going - so I took James down there for another "first." He was down there less than 10 minutes before he got mad (I'm guessing because of the hat I kept pushing down on his head) but it was enough to get some pictures and let him check out the cool colors of the fire.
Friday :: packed up and headed back to my parents hizzouse. Us Montalbano's hung out with Pops for the night as GG had to go to work (Coldplay concert).
Saturday :: we hung out at the 'rents house while waiting patiently to leave for the Rascal Flatts concert. Pops and Aunt Cassie tag-teamed the babysitting gig while Jimmy and I went on a date to the concert :-) Darius Rucker (aka "Hootie") opened for the band and was fantastic...he did some of the stuff off his new CD (also has a #1 country song) and did some of his Hootie and the Blowfish songs (I was uber excited about that, I love Hootie; I was very concerned though that he needed to buy out the Blowfish to have the rights to the songs, but Jim assured me he probably wrote most of the songs and all would be well). We had tickets to the Green Room (A/C and free drinks) for the beginning of the show -- CONFIRMED: I am most likely allergic to alcohol (so sad) as I had 6 sips of a Coors Light and my face turned bright red and my lips got tingly...I'm guessing this is another pregnancy-related change to my body (although other family members are effected by this condition too). Rascal Flatts put on a great show, just like last year and we really enjoyed the night out -- Thanks for the tickets and the free bebe-sitting!
Sunday :: we packed up and headed back home to "relax" from vacation -- we were so tired when we got home, it was crazy! I guess I was up late after the concert because I had to stay up to pump, but I didn't think I would be that tired, geez! An awesome sight when we got home: our neighbor's 13-year old son was mowing our lawn as a surprise! SO AWESOME! I need to think of something to get him to say Thanks (am open to suggestions - please Comment to this post if you have any - I thought maybe a good letter to his Boy Scouts leader and something to go with it-- I'm sure they need that to get to be an Eagle Scout). James actually "grasped" his chime on his activity mat tonight and was playing with it -- may be able to bust out the blankies and toys now that involve him holding them -- I guess the "3 months +" deciding people for babies toys were right on (he'll be 3 months old on Wednesday).
Today :: back to the grind of feeding James, showering, playing, feeding James, nap, feeding James, playing, changing his diaper and oh yeah, did I mention feeding James? I think this lil' man has been going through his 3 month growth spurt for about the last week as he's wanted to nurse all the time and has been napping a lot (although usually only if someone is holding him --note: he's still asleep in the swing now, woo hoo, good nap Bug)!
We look forward this week to a visit from Gma Chele and going bridesmaid dress shopping for Jen K. and Dominic's wedding!

Vince visits
James 11 weeks, Jimmy 29 years
Jimmy turned 29 years old and James was 11 weeks old on Tuesday! Lots to celebrate!
Below is the daily "how I found James in the morning" picture -- always a surprise! I think he woke himself up this morning by kicking the back of his crib. I took him back to the doctor to check and see how the weight gain was going and...we have one Chunky Monkey on our hands! He gained 12oz in 6 days!!! If you remember from last time, infants should gain about 1oz per day and James had only put on 5oz in 9 days. Needless to say, the doctor was very happy with him weighing 9lb, 14oz :-) So I don't have to force feed him every 2-2.5 hours anymore but I still need to make sure he doesn't go longer than 4 hours between daytime feedings. She thinks it is a good idea to keep giving him a 4oz bottle of formula at bedtime to make sure his belly is nice and content for a good night's sleep -- still going 7-8 hours, so that is great! We then met up with Jim and Mikey for lunch at Portillo's -- yummy!
It's so fun to be 11 weeks old! He was giggling at me here -- it still doesn't happen very often or on purpose, but the smiling does for sure!
One happy baby on his changing table
The birthday boy and his son!
Not a clear picture (Jim's finger was over the flash) but it was the best family photo we got w/o James screaming his head off! Maybe he was just singing "Happy Birthday" to Jimmy in his Gerber language?!?

Take Baby to Work Day
Wednesday morning James was having a good ole time playing with his hands and feet while I got ready. He isn't really much of a sucker but he does enjoy putting his hand in his mouth for a couple of seconds before throwing another air-punch. He has also started recognizing his feet. He will pull them up like the middle pic at the abs and then accidentally grab them and get so overly excited he kicks them back out. The way he pulls them up makes me think he may figure out how to roll over from his back to his belly soon but we'll have to wait and see!
With Heather
He started crying just as I got the camera out to get a pic of him and Jenny
Nick kept asking Jenny when I was coming in to school to visit. He stayed at school for 2 extra class periods after his early release to see me and meet James, which is pretty fantastic! That's easily the longest he's been at school in a looong time so I feel pretty special. I'm very proud of him because while he may not be the best "typical student," he's come a long way and is leaving to become a Marine in mid-June. He'll be back to visit in September hopefully before he gets deployed to Afghanistan...thanks for helping to defend our country Nick, make us proud!
Gina G. and myself in the Field House. Gina is a first year teacher and a victim of the bad economy as our school district RIFed (reduction in force) all 1st year teachers. I have really loved working with her and am keeping my fingers crossed that something will work out so she can remain a part of our team. She is also a huge Cubs and Blackhawks fan, which makes her even more fun to have around and helps us even out the Cubs fans with the Sox fans.
Found his thumb
Found his feet
Trying to stuff both hands in his mouth at once
I was getting ready so I could take him down to work to let him meet everyone! It was nice to see everyone but I sure don't miss that drive!
At my desk

Jenny thought the best place to change James' dirty diaper was on my desk neighbor Scott's desk. Scotty is a bit of a clean freak about his desk as he clears it off on Fridays and disinfects it and he eats lunch at my desk so mine gets dirty and not his...He's lucky we like him and that diaper didn't even come close to touching his desk :-)

After work I took James to the doctor for a "weight check" to make sure our little peanut is gaining weight. At his 2 month appt the doc said she thought his evening fussiness is probably related to him being hungry due to him being tired and my milk production decreasing as the day gets later. I used the Wii Fit to try and weigh James (not the most accurate of measuring devices, I know, but what I have handy to get close to ounces) and he was still registering under the 9lb mark on it, so I decided to give the doctor a call. Babies of James' age are supposed to gain about 1 oz per day. It turns out James finally broke the 9lb mark! He weighed in at 9lb, 2oz; however, this weight gain was only about 5 oz over 9 days. While he is gaining and that's good, it's still not at a rate that they like to see....so that means we (well, mostly I) have to feed him more often during the day to try and fatten this skinny minnie up! He had usually been pretty content with eating every 3-4 hours, but now we're feeding him every 2-2.5 hours during the day so he gets 5-6 solid feedings during the day and one before bed. I felt like a milk machine before but definitely now :-) I can hear him Moo-ing from across the house, hehe. We are supplementing him with a bottle of formula at his last feeding before putting him to bed to make sure his belly is good and full for the night. I almost cried right there in the doctor's office when she told me she wanted me to wake James up after 5 hours of sleep -- I mean, I have a newborn who will sleep 7-8 hours at night and she wants me to wake him and break that pattern -- is she nuts?!?! So we are going with the formula at night to fill him up and then not letting him sleep past Jim's alarm clock in the morning as a compromise. He is going to get his weight checked again on Tuesday, so we'll see if what we are doing is working -- if not, then I'll just be setting and re-setting an alarm clock throughout the night and day time because I'm freakin' exhausted already, let alone with having to wake him in the middle of his nights sleep.

Ten Weeks Old
James has become really funny about sticking out his tongue. He tries to imitate a raspberry-like noise that I make, but the only part he can accomplish is sticking his tongue out at me -- so funny because you can see his brain turning quickly trying to figure out how to get his body to do what he wants it to do. He has also become enamoured with the colors on TV...here he is watching the Today Show -- at least he's watching the news! He loves the 4th hour with Hoda & Kathie Lee :-)
He can be super un-happy and then I'll put him on his diaper changer that is attached to his Pack 'n Play and he acts like it's the best thing ever! He turns in to a little mover and shaker -- kicking and punching and talking to just being all spastic with his movements but you can see him thinking about it and he is just so full of energy when he is on there. I wish I could leave him up there alone and take a nap because I'm sure he'd stay up there and play for a long time by himself -- too bad it's really not safe to do so.
A close-up of the tongue out.
I HAD to get out of the house on Tuesday, James was fussing a bunch and Easton was driving me absolutely batty. So I put James in his car seat and leashed up Easton and we went on a little walk. Quite interesting because Easton is super strong and not the best walker and I was only holding on to him with one hand and trying to steer the stroller with the other -- needless to say, it was a slllooooowww walk but productive in getting us out of the house. We had to cut our path short though as the timing meant the elementary school was letting kids out and I didn't need Easton mauling any 1st graders! James finally fell asleep and took a nap after being awake from 8am - 3:30pm...it was quite warm out, so we got a good look at his chunky monkey legs that are finally forming on this long, lanky boy :-)
Here is James showing his best moves on the diaper changer -- I love to watch his facial expressions and how intensely focused he is at what he is doing. It's not his most active video but it shows him moving and him trying to imitate my facial expressions -- he can really get a move on in there, the speed at which he can move is amazing and he cracks me up with how excited he gets...like he's trying to talk to me through his movements.
