James' doctor called yesterday with some of the test results she has received so far. He is definitely allergic to eggs, but everything else she tested for came up negative (milk, beef, chicken, grapes, yeast, cocoa)! They are not totally ruled out yet, it could mean he has already outgrown them, or it may mean he has an intolerance for some of them (mainly the milk). An intolerance is much easier to work around and deal with! So, hopefully we will continue to get good news when the rest of the test results come in!

The Turtle
We found a pretty big turtle in the backyard and James was not only interested, and played with it, but he wanted to take it in the bathtub with him when it was time to go in for the night!
Would not touch a fish when he went fishing, but he all but kissed the turtle!
He really just can't smile with both eyes open....very difficult for him!

Give it a try
James handed Randi one of her teething toys tonight.
"Here Randi, you are supposed to chew on it. Give it a try!"

Randi's Dinner
Yeah, I finally figured out how to put videos on this thing! Been trying to do it for a while for all of you M'Ninas, Nanas, Mimis, Grannys, & Momos out there!
I originally got out the camera because she was talking, jabbering, & screaming during her supper, and it was so funny. But, she got camera shy real quick. This was one of the first times she tried meat...and I am not sure we will be trying it again. They didn't have this when James was on jar food, the meat was always mixed in with some sort of 'dinner'....but we thought we would give it a try...her flavor of the evening was beef with beef broth, grody consistency & very grody smell! I had just a tiny bit on the spoon and then had her veggies over the top of it to help with the taste- it did not work!

What's up with us
So, what's up with us these days?
I have started back to work outside of home. I am serving at Red Lobster during lunches & JJ's off shifts. So far, we are all enjoying it. I am able to get out of the house regularly again without having kids in tow, and JJ is getting time with the kids by himself. It also means that James is getting to help Daddy with more 'projects', he loves doing projects with Daddy, even if it is just the laundry.
James is a little jabber box, constantly talking and coming up with new words and phrases. His phrase this week is 'I/we almost forgot!'....regarding all sorts of things. He is definitely getting older because if a family member is brought to mind (Mimi & Poppy, Untle Matt, Kaycee, Papaw, etc) he immediately is missing them, wants to call them, and sometimes even becomes upset because he does not understand why we can't just go visit them.
Randi is a little Rolly Polly, yes she is finally rolling over back to tummy. She is almost instantly ticked off though because she has not figured out the tummy to back roll over yet. She is also a little jabber box in her own little way. Constantly squawking, screeching, cooing, and giggling, definitely experimenting with her voice.
JJ has been completing many projects around here, mostly on the car maintenance. He has saved us thousands of dollars in repair & maintenance costs by doing it himself. He got a repair manual for his car for Christmas, and has been teaching himself how to do it all. He even replaced the brakes, and the c.v. joint ( I am told these are a big deal, but what do I know?!). He is very proud of himself when he checks another item off his list! Such a good husband & Daddy he is!
We returned from our trip to Kerrville Monday afternoon. We all had such a good time, and this had to be one of the least stressful trips yet! YEAH! We love visiting family, but traveling with two kiddos in a small car is never easy. Friday we spent the day with my Mom, or M'Nina to James & Randi. And then she watched the kids at Amber & Sam's house overnight so that JJ & I could go out for our anniversary. Saturday morning started with Misti taking our family photos by the river (hopefully I will have a picture cd from her soon). We then spent the day celebrating my Granny & Papaw's 55th wedding anniversary! It was such a nice party. Outdoors with plenty of food, family, and fishing! James had such a good time fishing with his Untle Matt. He caught several fish, but never once would he touch it. Kaycee on the other hand, not only touched them & held them, but also kissed them! What a little Tom Boy she is! And the weather cooperated, so it wasn't even really hot at all. Sunday we visited with my Granny & Papaw, Candice & her boys, and then ended the day with JJ, Matt, Logan & I taking James to the river for the first time. He loved it! We went the the flats in Hunt so it was just the right depth for him, about 2 feet! Just enough for him to really 'go swimmin'. I think that is what I miss most about the Hill Country. You can just pull of the road just about anywhere, and get in the water. Can't do that in Houston or Louisiana!
Pictures to come soon! I promise!
