James showed off his dimples when he smiled for the first time on January 24. He was exactly 5 weeks old. It was in the evening and Daniel was holding him. Daniel was making funny faces and sounds and tickling James' cheeks and chin and then all of a sudden there it was...... a huge grin! I was standing about two feet away so of course I went right over to see. It was just awesome! Daniel got a few more grins out of him that night so I was able to see them. Over the next few days James gave us some more smiles and we even caught a goofy one on film. Unfortunately we took that picture with my mom's camera and are not able to post it on here, but we will be trying to capture another grin in the next few days. It is so cool to see James' responding to us and to his environment. All of a sudden he is so much more alert and we are having a great time playing with him!
Some other news:James recently had a well baby check up and got a good review. He weighed 10 lbs. 12 oz. and was 23 inches long. He was in the 75 - 90th percentile for both weight and length. His head circumference measured 16 inches...that was in the 90-95th percentile. He takes after his daddy!
Nana and Granddaddy came up from Houston to visit this past weekend. Nana and Granddaddy watched James Friday night so that we could go out to dinner and a movie. It was nice to be out of the house but we sure did miss our little man! I don't think James was out of Nana's arms except to sleep at night. We got webcams to hook up so that James can see his grandparents and hear their voices in between visits. James had been having a difficult time with his reflux and also major baby gas. Nana showed me some things that helped him to feel much, much better. She was just what the doctor ordered! All in all, James had a wonderful weekend. And we just had a blast being with him!
