Nelson boys update....

So I know I haven't written for a while and usually I like to post a picture too...well I thought our camera was broken for like a week - every time I took it out, turned it on, and took a picture it turned out all green.  I thought maybe the color was going and that didn't make me all that happy, since this is our second sony cam in like 4 years.  Turns out...it is NOT broken and it just was my little happy hands, James, flipped it to Night Vision and everything was green....so I will start taking pictures/videos again and start posting them!  Stay tuned!

New Things with Scott - He is now 6 months old (actually 6 months and 2 weeks).  In his 6 month doctors appointment he was almost 30 inches long, and 23.7 lbs.  The computers were down so they couldn't tell me his percentile, which was a bummer, but he is thriving and that is all that matters anyway!  He is a big baby, fitting into most 18 month clothing and some select brands of 24 months - you know like Carters, that fit small anyway!  He is a regular sitter and is now trying to crawl.  He is really really close and I think that it will happen before he is 7 months.  He is very determined and I think he actually realizes that he can maybe crawl, so it won't be long!  He really really loves bath time!!  He loves to splash - I really should try to take him (both James and Scott) over to the swimming pool more.  He is taking three solid naps a day, thanks to a book that Lindsey gave me when James was born.  I finally got so fed up with him not sleeping on his own that I read it and poof! I followed it and now I have a napper!  Hallelujah!  He is also eating baby food, baby cereal, and wait for it.....cheerios, puffs, and small cheerio-sized crackers.  Early you say???  I thought so too, but my doctor said to go ahead and feed it to him, so I did, and he is doing great!  A natural professional eater!!! It is fun to watch him try to grab for the small cheerios with his whole fist.

New Things with James - He went to the Zoo with his preschool and LOVED it.  He is now wanting to play with his school friends outside of school, and I am coming to the fact that I should try to be social and make some effort to call their moms.  It hasn't happened yet, maybe in the near future....maybe.  He is showing some interest in the piano, so I taught him his favorite song.....Spiderman!  He only knows the first two lines, but he loves playing it and will play it and then change the sound on our keyboard and play it again - this action repeats several times, and it has become a wonderful babysitter for about 20 to 30 mins.  Yay James.  James has also been saying some really weird funny things...and I just have to write them down to remember them...ok so today I asked James if he would help me clean the house, he says, "No thank you I am really busy" I say, "Oh really, doing what"  and he replies "I am really busy hibernating."  The weird thing is he knows what hibernating is, but he was jumping up and down on the couch.....not hibernating!!  Yesterday he yes randomly to Scott "Listen to me, if you don't behave and I will destroy Jerusalem"  I think this has something to do with the Living Scriptures DVDs he is watching.  Funny no?

Ok well I think that is it...at least for a while...
