James is 6 months old

James is 6 months old today... I can't believe it. We had his 6 month check up today and James weighed in at 16 lbs (between the 25-50%) and was 27 inches long (75%.. whhhhhaaaaat?) LOL! I looked back on Jacob's stats at 6 months to compare and he weighed 13 lbs 12 oz (25%) and was 25 inches long (50%). Looks like James is going to be the "big" little brother :)
James is such a little sweetheart. He's so mild tempered and all you have to do is make eye contact with him for him to give you a huge smile. When James is tired, he'll just melt into you and lay his head on your shoulder. James absolutely loves Jacob. Jacob can make him belly laugh so hard. Jacob just does something silly which makes himself laugh which in turn makes James laugh. It's so contagious because then I laugh and Jacob thinks what he did was even funnier and again James laughs. It's the best sound in the whole wide world. And I know it will only get better watching the two of them grow up together.

Fire Station

Jacob and James has their first visit to a fire station last weekend. Bryan Bingham was working at the station right by our house so he kindly invited us and the boys over. Bryan first showed us the trucks. Here's Jacob sitting in the driver's seat...
Then, Bryan took all of us on a little ride around the block. Jacob was quietly taking it all in. Then he showed us around the station. Jacob thought everything was "cool" What a fun morning! Thank you Bryan!
