Instead of doing something productive - I'm blogging.

Right now I really should be working on the thank you cards that I should have sent out last week according to thank you card etiquette. If you are reading this and have attended a shower, sent a gift, or brought us food, I'm very sorry for the delay. Please forgive me.

James is doing so well. I love watching him learn and grow. He still isn't doing much but even the little changes fascinate me. At this point he is probably close to eight pounds. We can hardly believe it. I'm surprised that he is still fitting into newborn sized clothing and diapers but I'm sure it won't be long before he is in the next size up.

I'm still waiting to see a real smile [not a gas smile, although I enjoy those too]. Since James was born a month early, we need to adjust the milestone time line to reflect his prematurity. So as much as I would like to be experiencing a smile at this point, I can't really expect one for another 4 weeks or so. As soon as I get one I'm going to have the camera clicking away to take photos of my little model. I hope no one is getting sick of the photos of James. I know I'm not.

James and I took a little trip to the grocery store today and he was so well behaved. I hope he keeps it up :). I barely got a peep out of him from the time I put him in the car seat to the time I took him out. It seemed I stopped on every other aisle just to check to make sure he was still breathing since he was so quiet. I can only hope he will be this good during his toddler years. HA HA HA.

David and I put a poll on the blog to see who people thought James looked like since we can't tell ourselves. It seems almost everyone thinks he looks like me. We both couldn't see it until the night before last. We opened up my baby album and starting laughing hysterically. My baby photos look like the could be photos of James. It's scary to see how much James looks like me when I was his age. I wish I had a scanner so I could post the photos to prove it.

Well it's about 9 at night and I'm going to try to work on those thank you's before the next feeding.
